43 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Our Due Diligence Continues: 3TG and Cobalt Intel’s responsible 3TG and cobalt program, aligned with the OECD Guidance , focuses on three primary areas: Risk Identification. Each year we conduct a supply chain survey to identify the smelters and refiners that process the 3TG and cobalt contained in the products supplied to Intel, and the country of origin of minerals used. We then compare those smelters and refiners to the list of facilities that conform to a responsible minerals sourcing validation program such as RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP). We use the information to identify potential mineral supply chain risks. Risk Mitigation. When we identify potential risks, we conduct further due diligence, which may include on-site smelter or refinery visits or virtual outreach. Such visits or virtual outreach help identify risks, encourage smelters and refiners to participate in an audit program to validate their sourcing practices, and drive risk mitigation for human rights impacts. When necessary, we will disen - gage from mineral supply chains that cannot uphold our responsible minerals sourcing standards. Additionally, we have increased virtual outreach to smelters and refiners already participating in a third-party audit program to ensure participation continuity, minimize disruption, and provide additional support throughout the pandemic. Supporting In-Region Sourcing. We believe that the creation and support of responsibly sourced 3 minerals from CAHRAs improve the lives of the people in the regions. In addition to our independent project resourcing, our membership in and support of the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade (PPA) and European Partnership for Responsible Minerals (EPRM) directly support regional projects that enable responsibly sourced minerals from CAHRAs by helping to implement programs that are consistent with the OECD Guidance and supported RMI programs. Intel is also a member of the International Tin Association’s International Tin Supply Chain Initiative (iTSCi), a trace - ability program to help ensure traceability of responsibly mined minerals from mine to smelter. 1 Conflict minerals, as defined by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is a broad term that means tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG), regardless of whether these minerals finance conflict in the DRC or adjoining countries. 2 CAHRAs, as defined by OECD, are identified by the presence of armed conflict, widespread violence, or other risks of harm to people. Armed conflict may take a variety of forms, such as a conflict of international or non-international character, which may involve two or more states, or may consist of wars of liberation, or insurgencies, civil wars, etc. High-risk areas may include areas of political instability or repression, institutional weakness, insecurity, collapse of civil infrastructure, and widespread violence. Such areas are often characterized by widespread human rights abuses and violations of national or international law. 3 ”Responsibly sourced” refers to products from suppliers, supply chains, smelters, and refiners that, based on our due diligence, are in line with current global standards and respect human rights in every aspect of their practice. 3TG. Through our annual supply chain survey process, in 2021, 99% of the relevant suppliers and refiners reported in our supply chain are deemed responsibly sourced through their conformance to and/or participa - tion in a responsible minerals assurance program. Cobalt. Intel used the RMI Cobalt Response Template (CRT) to survey all suppliers contributing cobalt to our products. In 2021, we received responses from 100% of suppliers surveyed. Intel conducted risk mitigation in our supply chain, including smelter outreach and country of origin assessments, as well as working with direct suppliers to facilitate alternative sourcing where appropriate. Our goal is to responsibly source all cobalt in our products. Through RMI’s cobalt working group and smelter outreach, we are pursuing all smelters and refiners in our cobalt supply chain to participate in RMAP. See a complete list of facilities that processed cobalt in Intel’s supply chain based on supplier responses to our 2021 survey. Intel ’ s long-term leadership in initiatives such as the RMI and PPA allows us to regularly collaborate on the issue of responsible minerals sourcing with other companies, industries, governments, and civil society. Such collabo - ration is crucial to identify and address risks associated with mineral extraction and trade in complex mineral supply chains. All participants, from the mines through device manufacturers, have a responsibility to ensure that they do not contribute to human rights abuses. We continue to advance responsible sourcing across our product lines, materials, and industry as our business and the world landscape evolve. Our annual conflict minerals disclosure filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission contains additional information about our 3TG and cobalt due diligence practices.
