This is stated in page 3 "HPE sources its products and services from a worldwide network of suppliers. Since 2007, we have disclosed a list of our production suppliers. Since 2013, we also have disclosed a list of smelters, refiners, recyclers, and scrap processors for “Conflict Minerals,” which includes tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold that our direct suppliers have reported to us as potentially being in their supply chains. For more information, see HPE’s Conflict Minerals Report and HPE’s Living Progress Report (including the Living Progress Data Summary, which sets forth key performance indicators)."

 

I said yes here as the statement goes on describing how the company works to provide extra support to risk areas so I feel this is accurate and conflict areas fall under this but change if you feel otherwise.
