8. Conflict Minerals Policy Statement

Introduction: As many supply chain participants and others have acknowledged publicly, the Dodd-Frank Act1 created a new expectation for product manufacturers, which may be far removed from the source of the raw minerals in their products.

Because of the complexity of many supply chains, especially those of distributors like United DEF, and the lack of an established system for product manufacturers to track Conflict Minerals back to their source, the joint efforts over an extended period by many governments, industry groups, and companies will be required to make it possible to effectively trace Conflict Minerals back to their source.

This document sets forth the policy of United DEF regarding Conflict Minerals..
