0 Introduction Environmental Social Governance Indexes and Glossary Human rights Governance Overview Inside Governance Operating Ethically Promoting and Protecting Human Rights Abiding by conflict minerals rules Our conflict minerals compliance program is part of our overall effort to reduce the risk of human rights abuse in our supply chain. We encourage our vendors to use smelters and refiners that are certified as compliant with established conflict minerals standards. Target supports the humanitarian goals of the conflict minerals rules, 64 and annually conducts a country of origin inquiry covering all product categories for owned brands or exclusive brands that we believe could contain tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (collectively known as “3TG”). In 2021, the product categories we surveyed included: • Apparel and Home Textiles. • Electronics, Lighting, Kitchenware and Small Appliances. • Home Improvement and Automotive. • Footwear and Luggage. • Accessories, Jewelry and Watches. • Furniture, Home Décor, Bath and Seasonal Merchandise. • Lawn and Garden. • Health and Beauty Products. • Toys, Sporting Goods and Pet Supplies. • Paper, Office, Stationery and Scrapbooking. As outlined in our Conflict Minerals Policy , Target will not knowingly purchase or sell any owned or exclusive brand product containing 3TG that finances armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its adjoining regions. Our vendors must adopt a 3TG sourcing policy that is consistent with ours and with guidance from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) . We also require that vendors report on the standard form developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) . Target maintains the right to audit suppliers on responsible 3TG sourcing. In 2021, we surveyed 569 vendors of owned and exclusive brand products in categories that might contain 3TG, receiving responses from 100% of them. We encourage vendors to identify and source from smelters and refiners certified by the RMI as “Conformant.” 215 of the 226 smelters and refiners identified by surveyed vendors that provided product-level information met this status. Target could only determine the smelters and refiners that processed a portion of the 3TG contained in its potentially in-scope products. As such, while none of the necessary 3TG within in-scope products was determined to directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC and its adjoining countries, we have not determined that any of our potentially in-scope products are “DRC conflict free.” Audits and continuous improvement Because we believe in making a collective impact, we value common or shared audit programs, addressing issues that are too big for any one company to tackle alone through collaboration with others. Our Responsible Sourcing and Sustainability audit program covers all facilities 65 that manufacture or convert raw materials into: • Target owned brand products and packaging. • Target exclusive products and packaging. • Target-distributed products and/or nationally branded products and packaging for which Target is the importer of record. Our risk-based audit program assesses facility conditions, worker treatment and compensation, hiring processes, environmental practices and compliance with applicable laws and Target’s SOVE. All disclosed manufacturing locations must conduct regular audits and have them approved by our industry-aligned audit protocol. In 2020 and 2021, the coronavirus pandemic, travel and factory restrictions, and office closures related to COVID-19 decreased the ability for onsite audits to be conducted in many regions globally. Reflective of the changing industry landscape, Target is further evolving its oversight approach to go beyond compliance, including implementing an industry-converged approach to assessment, and introducing more direct worker reporting channels and other real-time insights to understand emerging business and human rights risk. Target has also increased our disclosure requirements further back in the supply chain, including requirements about facility disclosure. Target maintains the right to conduct unannounced audits of any disclosed locations. In 2021, our team delivered 17 training programs on this industry-converged approach to 3,155 internal team members and suppliers — more than 6,500 training hours in total. The feedback we received from suppliers is that, by accepting several audit programs, suppliers’ facilities are more proactive in identifying root causes of issues and making improvements that benefit workers. Learn more about our auditing process and programs on our website. We prioritize remediation and continuous improvement but, in some cases, noncompliant audits may result in the cancellation of purchase orders and the termination of business relationships. Target will not allow a vendor to use a previously noncompliant factory until the deactivation period has expired and the factory has demonstrated compliance with Target’s SOVE and applicable laws. In 2022, we rolled out our first human rights training to key business areas, including merchandising, owned brands, sourcing and corporate responsibility. The training covered an overview of business and human rights and Target’s approach, including our human rights statement and business operations and supply chain due diligence efforts. 64 Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 65 Our Global Factory List , including Tier 1 factories and Tier 2 apparel wet-processing factories, is updated quarterly. 2022 Target ESG Report 64
