We require all of our suppliers to abide by the requirements of our Supplier Code of Conduct, which prohibits human rights abuses and unethical practices.

The Conflict Minerals Rule requires publicly traded companies to report annually the presence of conflict minerals (tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold, or “3TG”) originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (“Covered Countries”).

KZValve supports the goal of ending violence, human rights violations and environmental devastation in the Covered Countries. We comply with the requirements applicable to our Company under the Conflict Minerals Rule.

KZValve will assist our customers in implementing their conflict minerals programs. We strive to work cooperatively with our customers and supply chain partners in implementing conflict minerals compliance programs.

As part of this commitment, KZValve will exercise due diligence on all its suppliers in accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk areas.

Under this policy, KZValve requires all its suppliers to:

1. Conduct their business in raw conformance with the EICC Code of Conduct requirements.
2. Exclusively source from smelters or refineries that have been independently audited and approved as “conflict-free” by the Conflict-Free Smelter Program.
3. Exercise due diligence on their supply chains in accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and the EICC Code of Conduct.
