Scope
This policy applies to all suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers that provide products or components to PartsPerk LLC, and is incorporated by reference into supplier purchase orders.
Supplier expectations
- Source 3TG only from smelters and refiners that have been validated as conformant under the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) or an equivalent third-party program.
- Maintain a documented conflict minerals due-diligence program aligned with the OECD five-step framework.
- Complete the most current Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) on request and identify country of origin and smelter facility list.
- Cascade the same expectations to your sub-tier suppliers.
- Cooperate with audits, inquiries, and customer requests that flow down through us.
Due diligence
- Establish strong company management systems (policy, accountability, internal controls).
- Identify and assess risk in the supply chain.
- Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks.
- Carry out independent third-party audits at identified points.
- Report annually on supply-chain due diligence findings.
Non-conformance
Suppliers found to be sourcing 3TG from non-conformant smelters or unwilling to disclose origin may be removed from the PartsPerk approved-supplier list and will not be issued further purchase orders until remediation is verified.
Reporting and transparency
PartsPerk LLC maintains records sufficient to respond to customer Conflict Minerals due-diligence requests under SEC Form SD where applicable. Annual reviews are coordinated by the compliance function.
