Conflict Minerals Policy
Our supply chain is highly complex, and our manufacturing process is significantly removed from the mining, smelting and refining of 3TG Minerals. As a result, we expect that all of our suppliers will partner with us to provide appropriate information and conduct necessary due diligence in order to facilitate our compliance with the Conflicts Minerals Rules. We are committed to working with our suppliers to educate them about these issues and the steps that they can take to increase the transparency of the supply chain.
McKesson suppliers are expected, upon request, to:
- Identify the steps in the supply chain through which 3TG Minerals are introduced and undertake all due diligence efforts necessary to identify the smelter, refiner and/or mine from which 3TG Minerals originate. This may include requiring direct or indirect suppliers to our suppliers to cooperate in diligence efforts and to provide any information necessary to facilitate our compliance efforts with respect to the Conflicts Minerals Rules;
- Supply us with timely and accurate information regarding the source of 3TG Minerals in our supply chain and the steps that have been undertaken to determine whether such products and materials are DRC Conflict Free, including whether the source has been verified by a recognized, independent third party; and
- Advise us promptly of any determination that any products or materials in the supply chain are not DRC Conflict Free.
We evaluate our relationships with our suppliers on an ongoing basis. Although the existence of the Conflict Minerals Rules is no guarantee that our suppliers will be in compliance or cooperate with our requests for additional information, the disclosure requirement is mandatory. If a supplier has failed to comply with these requirements, or if we determine that a supplier’s efforts are deficient, we will take appropriate action, which could result in terminating our relationship with the supplier.
