Actions that need to be taken by US Stock-listed Companies for DF1502
Step 1: Do your
manufactured products contain
conflict minerals?
Step 2: Do the conflict
minerals originate in the
Covered Countries?
Step 3: If “yes”, then conduct due
diligence, and potentially provide a
Conflict Minerals Report

• Data is entered in a database to enable traceability.
• Minerals without a tag cannot be sold

What should EU do?Follow De Gucht’s six principles and…
De Gucht’s six principles Philips’ position1. Comprehensive approach 1. EU should function as neutral broker
bringing all relevant stakeholders together2. Compatibility with existing
approaches 2. Only compatible with OECD guidelines,
don’t repeat mistakes of DFA
3. Do no harm 3. Incentivize conflict resolution, such as CFTI
4. Broad geographical scope 4. Include all resource related conflicts
5. Targeted approach 5. Focus on smelters not on individual products
6. No unintended consequences 6. EU to convince non-EU governments to adopt similar approach
