Page 16 - "We strive to minimize any possible adverse impacts of mineral mining, including human rights abuses, child labour exploitation, sexual violence, and environmental destruction. We take human rights and environmental issues related to mineral mining in conflict-affected and high-risk areas, such as some African countries, very seriously. To address these risks we use responsible minerals in strict compliance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.To support our responsible minerals management system, we conduct investigations on the status of responsible minerals use and identify and remedy risk factors of our mass-produced materials suppliers. In 2022, we reviewed the credibility of data submitted by 438 suppliers around the world and their conflict minerals policy implementation status.. All of our suppliers are obligated to fully comply with our responsible minerals policy. We only accept minerals supplied by smelters and refiners accredited with RMAP certification. As a result, we are able to screen out conflict minerals mined and sourced in an illegal manner from conflict-affected areas, such as DR Congo, and only handle minerals supplied by internationally accredited smelters and refiners. In addition to conflict minerals, we also monitor high-risk minerals that raise concerns over environmental damage and human rights abuses to ensure more rigorous management of our supply chain. We continuously update the list of controversial minerals to readily respond to related issues together with our global counterparts.We regularly disclose our responsible minerals management activities via our website and Sustainability Report and publish the Samsung Electronics Responsible Minerals Management Report to more effectively respond to the diversifying needs of global stakeholders."
