42 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Responsible Minerals Sourcing Like many companies in the electronics industry, Intel and its suppliers use minerals in manufacturing. Over a dozen years ago, Intel began work to responsibly source conflict minerals, 1 and in 2017 we expanded our efforts to also address cobalt in our supply chain. We are proud of the significant progress we have made as a company and as an industry, but we know that there is more work to be done. A key technology initiative in our 2030 RISE strategy is to significantly expand our impact in responsible minerals and accelerate the creation of new sourcing standards. Intel’s strategy is to maintain the positive progress we’ve made to date on 3TG (tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold) and cobalt, and to proactively address emerging risks from the expanding scope of materials and geographies. Our ambition is to apply our learnings from over a decade and work with our industry to broaden and accelerate the creation of sourcing standards for a much wider set of minerals across additional conflict-affected and high-risk areas (CAHRAs 2 ). More information is available on our Responsible Minerals website . Our Responsible Minerals program, Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy , and due diligence practices address minerals originating in CAHRAs, and are aligned to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict- Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD Guidance). Beyond Conflict Minerals: Driving a Responsibly Sourced Mineral Supply Chain In 2021, we sent our first expanded minerals survey for aluminum, copper, nickel, and silver to suppliers contributing these materials in our Intel-manufactured microprocessors. This is an important step in our RISE strategy, as we begin mapping our supply chains for our highest priority minerals. Although sourcing of these minerals is not yet widely reported, we received a response from 89% of relevant suppliers. We are con - tinuing to pursue information on smelters and refiners in our extended supply chain—those that supply our direct suppliers. A  list of smelters and refiners reported can be found on our website. To contribute to standards and help define and engage in due diligence within the copper supply chain, Intel is an active partner member of The Copper Mark , participat - ing in its Risk Readiness Assessment (RRA) Technical Revision Committee and Technical Working Group. We are continuing to map our supply chain for targeted minerals, as well as other priority minerals such as zinc and lead. Additionally, we continue to partner with industry associations to ensure standards are in place to enable our ultimate goal of responsible sourcing for all the minerals in our supply chain. We will continue to identify the highest priority minerals in pursuit of our 2030 RISE Goals. Connecting with Mining Communities Intel recognizes the importance of direct engagement with mining communities to address human rights issues in our supply chain. As a complement to our due diligence program, we have an ongoing program to dedicate resources and partner with expert civil society organizations to identify and remedy the challenges of the mining communities that source our products. A few examples of projects supported by Intel in 2021 are: Congo Power , an alliance providing mining areas with clean power, specifically funding the power needs for community training in addition to the educational programming at the Dr. Mukwege School ; PACT-RMI Youth Vocational Training Program, aimed at providing mining alternatives to Congolese youths; and the development of the world’s first Congo-focused North American collection and repository for Congolese- written documents on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), at the University of British Columbia library. We believe that helping to empower marginalized workers in our supply chain is a crucial step in promoting human rights. Intel also recognizes the local socio-economic impor - tance of the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector in CAHRAs and seeks to assist ASM sites in meeting downstream compliance requirements through the Better Mining ASM Mine Monitoring Program in partnership with Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and RCS Global . Intel also supported a digital suite designed specifically for the ASM sector, which will create new pathways to track, access, and share data about practices in mining communities. Maintaining a connection and providing support to the communities that we depend on in our vast global supply chain is a crucial component to our responsible minerals program.
