We contacted 420 affected suppliers of which 250 responded, representing over 95% of manufactured product in our supply chain. 6 replied with some conflict minerals data. After review and removal of duplicate or alternate names, 8 smelters were identified as conflict minerals smelters consistent with the smelter definitions proposed by industry and the audit protocols published by the Conflict Free Smelter Program.
