VOXX International Corporation

Conflict Minerals Report

For The Year Ended December 31, 2022

 

This is the Conflict Minerals Report of VOXX International Corporation (herein referred to as “Voxx,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for Calendar Year 2022 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Conflict Minerals Rule”). Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD, and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions to the terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein. This Conflict Minerals Report has been prepared by the management of Voxx. The information includes the activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated.

 

The Conflict Minerals Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”). The Conflict Minerals Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict Minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“3TG”) for the purposes of this assessment. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.

 

If a registrant can establish that the conflict minerals originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”), or from recycled and scrap sources, the registrant must submit a Form SD which describes the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry completed.

 


If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the conflict minerals in its supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if it is unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the issuer must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody. The registrant must annually submit a report, Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”), to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.

 

Company Overview and Supply Chain

 

We support the humanitarian goal of the Dodd-Frank Act in ending the illegal trade of Conflict Minerals originating in the Covered Countries, while supporting legitimate commercial ventures in the region. We do not purchase any Conflict Minerals directly from any source and we are committed to complying with the requirements of the Conflict Mineral Rule and upholding responsible sourcing practices. We are also dedicated to working with our suppliers to increase transparency regarding the origin of minerals contained in our products and the Company has actively engaged with its customers and suppliers for several years with respect to the use of Conflict Minerals.

 

Product Lines: Voxx is a leading international manufacturer and distributor operating within the Automotive Electronics, Consumer Electronics and Biometrics industries. Our principle products include mobile multi-media infotainment products, including overhead, seat-back, and headrest systems; automotive security, remote start systems, and vehicle access systems; satellite radio products, including plug and play models and direct connect models; smartphone telematics applications; mobile interface modules; automotive power accessories; power lift gates; driver distraction products; rear observation and collision avoidance systems; turn signal switches; automotive lighting products; automotive sensing and camera systems; USB ports; cruise control systems; heated seats; home theater systems; premium loudspeakers; outdoor speakers; architectural speakers; commercial and cinema speakers; business and streaming music systems; wireless and Bluetooth speakers and soundbars; wired, wireless, and Bluetooth headphones and ear buds; A/V receivers; DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible devices; T.V. universal remote controls; karaoke products; solar powered balcony systems; hearing aids and personal sound amplifiers; infant/nursery products; High-Definition Television ("HDTV") and Wireless Fidelity (“WiFi”) antennas; High-Definition Multimedia Interface ("HDMI") accessories; home electronic


accessories such as cabling, power cords, charging products, power supply systems, and other connectivity products; performance enhancing electronics; flat panel TV mounting systems; electronic equipment cleaning products; set-top boxes; home and portable stereos; and iris identification and biometric security related products. We conducted an analysis of our products and found that tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) are found in substantially all of our products.

 

Determination of In-Scope Products: We are subject to the Conflict Mineral Rule because certain products that we manufacture and distribute contain 3TG that are necessary to the functionality or production of the products; however, we do not directly source 3TG from mines, smelters, or refiners. We believe that in most cases, we are several steps removed in the supply chain from these market participants, limiting our influence over their sourcing. Furthermore, because of the depth, geographic diversity, complexity, and evolution of our supply chain, and due to competitive factors, we have difficulty identifying market participants above our direct suppliers in the supply chain and must rely on our direct suppliers to work with their upstream suppliers in order that they may provide us with accurate information about the origin of 3TG in the components we purchase.

 

Determination: For 2022, we did not find that any of the necessary 3TG contained in our products directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups in the DRC or an adjoining country; however, we did not conclude that any of our products were “DRC conflict free,” because there are too many remaining unknowns. Furthermore, given that Voxx has not voluntarily elected to describe any of its products as “DRC conflict free,” an independent private sector audit of the report presented herein has not been conducted. Our use of the terms “adjoining country,” “armed group” and “DRC conflict free” have the same meanings as those provided in the Conflict Minerals Rule.

 


Conflict Minerals Policy

 

Voxx strongly disapproves of the violence in the DRC and adjoining countries. We have a DRC Conflict Minerals sourcing policy setting forth that the Company does not knowingly source metals that come from conflict mines in the Eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries (the “Conflict Region”). The Company has no policy that would avoid sourcing from the DRC and covered countries altogether, but rather strives to source responsibly from this region. Voxx’s goal is to ultimately be able to certify that all of its products are manufactured with conflict free minerals. Voxx’s Conflict Minerals Policy statement can be found here: VOXX International : Sustainability (voxxintl.com).

 

All employees who are members of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Process Organization (as defined in section 1.B. of the Due Diligence portion of the report) are required to review the Company’s policy on conflict minerals and the relevant due diligence process. The Process Administrator and Conflict Minerals Champions (as defined within Establish Strong Company Management Systems in the Due Diligence Design section) are responsible for ensuring that the related materials are appropriately communicated to organization members and key employees involved in the Company’s supply chain management.

 

Suppliers are encouraged to support industry efforts to enhance traceability and responsible practices in global mineral supply chains. The Company provides consultation and reference materials to all suppliers, as requested, to aid them in understanding our conflict mineral process and due diligence plan and in developing their own policies toward preventing the use of conflict minerals or derivative metals sourced from mines controlled by armed groups in the Conflict Region.

 

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

As required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, we conducted a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” covering 2022. To determine whether necessary 3TGs in products originated in Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, the Company retained Assent Compliance (“Assent”), a third-party service provider, to assist us in reviewing the supply chain and identifying risks. The Company provided a list composed of suppliers and parts associated with the in-scope products to Assent for upload to the Assent Compliance Manager.


 

To trace materials, and demonstrate transparency procured by the supply chain, Voxx utilized the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) to conduct a survey of all in-scope suppliers.

 

During the supplier survey, the Company contacted suppliers via the Assent Compliance Manager, a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform provided by Assent that enables users to complete and track supplier communications, and allows suppliers to upload completed CMRTs directly to the platform for validation, assessment, and management. The Assent Compliance Manager also provides functionality that meets the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Mineral from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, and related supplements for Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold (the “OECD Guidance”) process expectations by evaluating the quality of each supplier response and assigning a health score based on the supplier’s declaration of process engagement. Additionally, the metrics provided in this report, as well as the step-by-step process for supplier engagement and upstream due diligence investigations, are managed through this platform.

Via the Assent Compliance Manager and Assent team, the Company requested that all suppliers complete a CMRT. Training and education to guide suppliers on best practices and the use of this template was included. Assent monitored and tracked all communications in the Assent Compliance Manager for future reporting and transparency. Voxx directly contacted suppliers that were unresponsive to Assent’s communications during the diligence process and requested these suppliers complete the CMRT and submit it to Assent.

The Company’s program continues to include automated data validation on all submitted CMRTs. The goal of data validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers in the CMRT. This data validation is based on questions within the declaration tab of the CMRT, which helps identify areas that require further classification or risk assessment, as well as understand the due diligence efforts of Tier 1 suppliers. The results of this data validation contribute to the program’s health assessment and are shared with the suppliers to ensure they understand areas that require clarification or improvement.


 

All submitted declaration forms are accepted so that data is retained, but they are classified as valid or invalid based on a set criteria of validation errors. Suppliers are contacted regarding invalid forms and are encouraged to correct validated errors to resubmit a valid form. Suppliers are provided with guidance on how to correct these validation errors in the form of feedback to their CMRT submission, training courses, and direct engagement help through Assent’s multilingual Supplier Experience team. Since some suppliers may remain unresponsive to feedback, Voxx tracks program gaps to account for future improvement opportunities.

 

Supplier Surveys: Our data source consisted of all Company purchases for the calendar year, and we identified our population of suppliers based on those purchases and focused on all products sourced from those suppliers. We requested that all suppliers provide information to us regarding 3TG and smelters using the CMRT. The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and refiners that provide material to a manufacturer’s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a direct supplier’s conflict-free policy, its due diligence process, and information about its supply chain such as the names and locations of smelters and refiners as well as the origin of 3TG used by those facilities.

 

Our evaluation encompassed 100% of the raw materials we purchased in 2022 from third parties for which the Company has manufacturing oversight, in accordance with the Conflict Minerals Rule. For the purpose of the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry, Voxx continued to receive supply chain responses through May 18, 2023. Based on the process described above, Voxx received the following results from its Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry:

For the 2022 reporting year, Voxx has seen its highest response rate since the Company began its annual RCOI process in 2013. During the RCOI process for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s Corporate Compliance team worked closely with Assent, the Company’s third-party service provider, to obtain a listing of non-responsive suppliers and personally reached out to these contacts in conjunction with the Company’s Conflict Minerals Champions and Process Owners. In instances where this additional communication was unsuccessful, the Corporate Compliance Team worked with Assent to troubleshoot the issues and attempt to resolve them in order to achieve the highest response rate possible. We believe we have compiled the most complete and accurate data for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing the minerals in our supply chain. Refer also to the Company’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry process for the steps taken by the Company in 2022 above.

 

Provided below is a link to Voxx’s internet disclosure of this Conflict Minerals Report: https://investors.voxxintl.com/financial-information/sec-filings.

 

A copy of the declared sources of material has been included as part of this filing in Appendix A. The declared sources represent a summary of all available information, which has been declared by our suppliers in response to the RCOI.

 


Due Diligence Design

 

We have designed our due diligence measures relating to 3TG to conform with, in all material respects, the criteria set forth in the OECD Guidance. The OECD Guidance establishes a five-step framework for due diligence as a basis for responsible global supply chain management of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. Due diligence is required for the 3TG found during our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry that may possibly be sourced from the covered countries, or for which the origin is unknown based on our RCOI. The goal of our due diligence is to mitigate the risk that trade of 3TG in our products directly or indirectly funds illicit armed groups in the covered countries. The numbered headings below conform to the headings used in the OECD Guidance for each of the five steps.

 

1.
Establish Strong Company Management Systems

 

A.
Policy - As cited above, we have adopted a Conflict Minerals sourcing policy setting forth that the Company does not knowingly source metals that come from conflict mines in the Eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (the “Conflict Region”). The Company strives to source responsibly from this region. Voxx’s goal is to ultimately be able to certify that all of its products are manufactured with conflict free minerals. Voxx’s Conflict Minerals Policy statement can be found at: https://www.voxxintl.com/sustainability/

B.
Internal Management Systems to Support Supply Chain Due Diligence - Voxx has created internal standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) for its Conflict Minerals Process Organization (“the Organization”), which was established by the Company to lead the Company’s conflict minerals evaluation and due diligence process. These SOPs provide a step-by-step process that each business unit, department, and employee must follow to generate and maintain the necessary information needed for Voxx’s compliance with the Rule.

 

The Organization is structured to provide Company-wide involvement of key individuals who have an impact on product development, procurement, production, supplier evaluation, public relations, corporate and social responsibility, information technology, legal, and reporting. The members of


the Organization are responsible for ensuring that the Company’s due diligence process is properly executed, and all issues identified during implementation or ongoing execution are appropriately addressed and resolved on a timely basis. The Organization includes:

 

Process Oversight - VOXX International Corporation’s Board of Directors
Process Sponsor - Chief Executive Officer, who sets the tone at the top and emphasizes the importance of maintaining compliance with the Company’s established Conflict Minerals policy and due diligence process and improving supply chain management related to potential conflict minerals sources.
Process Leader - One of Voxx’s Assistant Vice Presidents in the Accounting Department, who develops and oversees the Conflict Minerals due diligence process, ensures compliance with due diligence objectives, and oversees day to day coordination of efforts pertaining to the due diligence process between management, external advisors, and auditors.
Process Administrator - Responsible for administering and documenting day to day activities of the Conflict Minerals due diligence process, and coordinating efforts between management, external advisors, and auditors. This role is performed by one of the Company’s administrative assistants.
Conflict Minerals Steering Committee - Representing a cross-section of the Company’s organizational leadership, responsible for sustaining and driving the Conflict Minerals due diligence process, making decisions, and ensuring the evaluation process proceeds efficiently and effectively. The members of this committee include the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel, as well identified leads at Corporate Headquarters and Shared Services and within the Company’s subsidiaries at which the majority of products and materials containing conflict minerals reside, generally members of the Engineering Department.
Corporate Compliance Team - Responsible for monitoring the control environment related to, and management of, the external reporting process. Members of this team include the Manager of Financial Reporting and the Compliance Manager, who are

responsible for the filing of SEC reports and the Company’s SOX compliance, as well as one of the Company’s Accounting Managers who carries out the conflict minerals due diligence objectives.
Conflict Minerals Champions - Designated individuals at each of the Company’s subsidiaries responsible for monitoring the functions in their respective processes, communicating with the Conflict Minerals Steering Committee about issues and changes within their processes, and communicating with local personnel on new developments or requirements of the Conflict Minerals evaluation.
Significant Subsidiaries and Process Owners - Significant operating groups (and their respective owners/group leaders) identified by Company management that source or manufacture products containing minerals included on the Conflict Minerals list and requiring evaluation.

 

The Company also uses a third-party service provider, Assent, to assist with evaluating supply chain information regarding 3TGs, identifying potential risks, and in the development and implementation of additional due diligence steps that the Company will undertake with suppliers and/or respective stakeholders with regard to conflict minerals.

 

The Company leverages Assent’s Managed Services in order to work with dedicated program specialists who support Voxx’s conflict minerals program. The Company communicates regularly with the Assent team in order to receive updates on program status. Each member of Assent’s Customer Success team is trained in conflict minerals compliance and understands the intricacies of reporting templates such as CMRT and CMRs, as well as Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

 

The Conflict Minerals Steering Committee, Corporate Compliance Team, and Conflict Minerals Champions are responsible for assisting the Process Owners in the development, documentation and implementation of the Company’s procedures and the evaluation of potential conflict minerals procurement for its supply chain. All internal resources performing


and/or assisting in the Conflict Minerals evaluation and due diligence are qualified to perform his/her respective duties in the evaluation and are trained on the systems used to carry out the Company’s due diligence.

 

C.
Establish a System of Controls and Transparency Over Conflict Mineral Supply Chain - The Company expects all suppliers to have policies and procedures in place to ensure that 3TGs used in the production of the products sold to Voxx are “conflict free or responsibly sourced.” This means that the products should not contain minerals (3TGs) sourced from areas that have been identified to be in the presence of widespread human rights abuses and violations of law either directly or indirectly. The Company expects direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TGs contained in components and materials supplied, including sources of 3TGs that are supplied to them from lower-tier suppliers.

 

D.
Strengthen Company Engagement with Suppliers - For the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Conflict Minerals reporting years, members of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Process Organization traveled to the annual Consumer Electronics Show (“CES”) in Las Vegas, Nevada, held each January, in order to conduct in-person meetings with several of the Company’s top suppliers to discuss the Company’s conflict mineral initiatives and provide additional information and answer inquiries related to the CMRT administered. The meetings were arranged by Voxx’s Process Administrator, based on information obtained and supplied by the Company’s engineers, Purchasing Department, and project managers, through their ongoing communication with the suppliers throughout the year. These meetings provided the Company with the opportunity to engage with suppliers and direct them to information and training resources to attempt to increase the response rate and improve the content of the supplier survey responses. During 2015, the Company met with several suppliers to review previous submissions of the CMRT and discuss how to properly complete the template. Many suppliers had not provided the necessary level of detail in prior years and the Company specifically arranged time with these suppliers to address their questions and clearly express the Company’s expectations. The Company’s intention is to hold these meetings periodically, as deemed necessary, in order to maintain its relationships with vendors that have been developed in

prior years, as we believe the ability to meet with these suppliers in person improves the due diligence process.

The Company strives to maintain positive long-term relationships with all of its suppliers while remaining cost competitive in the market and upholding established quality standards. Whenever possible, the Company will leverage its long-term relationships to influence its suppliers to support conflict minerals initiatives and enable the Company to continue to responsibly source from them.

 

E.
Maintain Records - The Company has adopted a policy to retain relevant documentation for a period of five (5) years in accordance with OECD guidance in Step 1 - C.5., which allows Voxx to show the long-term evolution and improvement of its program to its shareholders. Through Assent, a document retention policy to retain conflict minerals related documents, including supplier responses to CMRTs and the sources identified within each reporting period, has been implemented. The Company stores all of the information and findings from this process in a database that can be audited by internal or external parties.

2.
Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

 

A.
Supplier Risk Evaluation – Risks associated with suppliers’ due diligence processes were assessed by their declaration responses on a CMRT, which the Assent Compliance Manager identifies automatically based on established criteria. These risks are addressed by Assent staff and members of the Company’s Organization, who engage with suppliers to gather pertinent data and ask for corrective actions if needed, performing an overall assessment of the supplier’s conformity status, which is referred to as “conflict minerals status.” The Process Leader and members of the Corporate Compliance team meet with advisors from Assent at least bi-weekly after CMRTs are sent to the suppliers in order to discuss the status of due diligence efforts, as well as to improve efforts to obtain information on country of origin of the minerals and to mitigate red flags. Risks at the supplier level may include non-responsive suppliers or incomplete CMRTs. In cases where a company-level CMRT (such as when a company declares there are no 3TGs in any of its products) is submitted, Voxx is unable to determine if all of the specified smelters/refiners were used for 3TGs in the products supplied to the Company. Assent’s supplier risk assessment (flagging suppliers’ risk as high, medium, low) provides a user-friendly form to identify problematic suppliers in a company’s supply chain. The risk assessment is derived from the smelter validation process, which establishes risk at the smelter level via an analysis that takes into account multiple conflict minerals factors.

 

B.
Assess Due Diligence - Responses to the CMRT must contain all required data in the format corresponding to the survey. If responses are incomplete or inconsistent, the supplier is contacted and asked for missing or supplemental data. This is initially done by Assent via emails sent to the suppliers and followed up by telephone contact. After unsuccessful attempts at contact by Assent, the supplier and CMRT information in question will be referred to the Corporate Compliance team as ‘non-responsive,’ where additional attempts to contact the supplier via email or phone are made by the team to obtain the required information and reiterate the Company’s expectations of compliance.

 


Product information provided in the CMRT responses are compared to the Company’s purchasing records for the suppliers to ensure it supports the supplier’s disclosure (i.e., products included on the CMRT match products listed in supplier’s response). Some suppliers provide a ‘company level response,’ which is a disclosure of all the metals and smelters the supplier uses in every product it sells. When a company level response is received, Assent and the Corporate Compliance Team review the information and materials listed, as compared to the Company’s purchasing records.

 

Other supply chain risks are identified by assessing the due diligence practices and audit status of smelters/refiners identified in the supply chain by upstream suppliers that list mineral processing facilities on their CMRT declarations. Assent’s smelter validation program compares listed facilities to the list of smelters/refiners consolidated by the RMI to ensure that the facilities meet the recognized definition of a 3TGs processing facility that was operational during the 2022 calendar year.

 

Assent determines if the smelter has been audited against a standard in conformance with the OECD Guidance, such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP). Voxx does not have a direct relationship with smelters/refiners and does not perform direct audits of these entities. Smelters that are conformant to RMAP audit standards are considered to have their sourcing validated as “conflict free or responsibly sourced.” In cases where the smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices have not been audited against the RMAP standard or they are considered non-conformant by RMAP, further due diligence steps are followed to notify suppliers reporting these facilities. Smelters/refiners are actively monitored to proactively identify other risks pertaining to conflict minerals

 

Each facility that meets the definition of a smelter or refiner of a 3TG mineral is assessed according to red-flag indicators defined in the OECD Guidance. Assent uses numerous factors to determine the level of risk that each smelter poses to the supply chain by identifying red flags. These factors include:

Geographic proximity to Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

Known mineral source country of origin.
RMAP audit status.
Credible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing.
Peer assessments conducted by credible third-party sources.
Sanctions risks
 

Risk mitigation activities are initiated whenever a supplier’s CMRT reports facilities of concern. Through Assent, suppliers with submissions that include any smelters of concern are immediately provided with feedback instructing suppliers to take their own independent risk mitigation actions. Examples include the submission of a product-specific CMRT to better identify the connection to products that they supply to Voxx. Suppliers are given clear performance objectives within reasonable timeframes with the ultimate goal of progressive elimination of these smelters of concern from the supply chain. In addition, suppliers are guided to the educational materials on mitigating the risks identified through the data collection process.

 

3.
Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

 

We have procedures for monitoring and reporting on risk to designated senior management, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors. Pursuant to these procedures, the findings of our compliance efforts are reported to senior management of the Company, as well as to the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

 

4.
Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

 

In connection with our due diligence, we utilize information made available by the RMAP concerning third party audits of smelters and refiners to determine whether the smelter or refiner has obtained a conflict free certification and remains in compliance.

 


5.
Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

 

We file a Form SD, and to the extent applicable, a Conflict Mineral Report, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and make them available on our website.

 

Due Diligence Execution

 

1.
We sent requests to all of our suppliers identified for 2022 who we believe sold us products containing 3TG. We requested that they complete a CMRT and provide us with smelter ID’s, as applicable, related to the smelters they source from. We (Assent, followed by the Corporate Compliance team) followed up via email and phone with suppliers who did not provide a response or provided an incomplete CMRT within the specified time frame communicated to the suppliers.

 

2.
We compared product information provided in the CMRT responses to our purchasing records for the suppliers to ensure it supports the supplier’s disclosure (i.e., products included on the CMRT match products listed in supplier’s response). Any inconsistencies in information resulted in follow up emails or phone calls to the supplier to clarify the CMRT responses.

 

3.
We reviewed the smelter information provided by suppliers in the CMRT and compared the information against the CFS list.

 

4.
The findings of our compliance efforts with respect to the calendar year ended December 31, 2022 were reported to senior management of the Company, as well as to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

 

Future steps to be taken to improve due diligence and risk mitigation

 

We intend to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate the risk that the conflict minerals in our products finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC:

 


Continue to engage suppliers to obtain current, accurate and complete information about the supply chain.
Continue to focus efforts to determine the source of components that the Company identified as not being conflict free or that had unknown results with the goal to reduce the number of unknown materials in the products our suppliers sell to us.
Work through the CFSI to expand the smelters and refiners participating in the CFS Program.
Engage any suppliers, if found to be providing us with components or materials containing conflict minerals from sources that support conflict in the DRC, to establish an alternative source of conflict minerals that does not support such conflict.
Work with the OECD and relevant trade associations to define and improve best practices and encourage responsible sourcing of conflict minerals.

 

Based on the information provided by Voxx’s suppliers utilized during 2022, the Company believes that the facilities that may have been used to process 3TG’s in our products include the smelters and refiners listed in Appendix A below. The supplier responses included Known and Unknown smelters, but based on the absence of reliable information on the Unknown smelters, only the Known smelters have been included in Appendix A.
