Axis Electronics Conflict Minerals Statement.

This document contains Axis Electronics statement regarding the content of Conflict Minerals in our products. This statement is based upon information collected from Axis Electronics supply chain. 

There has been increased awareness of violence and human rights violations in the mining of certain minerals from a location described as the “Conflict Region”, which is situated in the eastern portion of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries. The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) have requested that companies undertake reasonable due diligence with their supply chain to assure that specified metals are not being sourced from mines in the Conflict Region, which is controlled by non-government military groups, or unlawful military factions. 

Axis Electronics supports the actions of the EICC and GeSI and has either obtained, or is in the process of obtaining, information from our current suppliers concerning the origin of the materials that are used in the manufacture of products used by Axis Electronics to fulfil the contractual requirements of its customers. Based upon information provided by our suppliers, Axis Electronics does not knowingly use metals derived from the Conflict Region in our products. 

Suppliers must provide written evidence of due diligence documenting that raw materials used to produce gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten, supplied to or used in the manufacture of products used by Axis Electronics, do not originate from mining or smelting operations in the Conflict Region. Due diligence from each supplier must include, where applicable, completion of the EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals reporting. 

Axis Electronics is actively engaged with its supply chain community to monitor changes to existing legislation and to adopt new legislation as and when appropriate.
