• | Platform 1 - a precisely controlled heating device, commercialized under the IQOS brand name, into which a specially designed and proprietary tobacco unit is inserted and heated to create an aerosol, as well as related accessories and parts; and |
• | Platform 4 - battery powered e-vapor products that produce an aerosol by vaporizing a nicotine-containing liquid solution; the current generation technology products are commercialized under the Nicolites, Nicocigs and Vivid brand names, and the new e-vapor technology products are commercialized using both the Nicocigs and MESH brand names. |
• | We train our employees on compliance with our Conflict Minerals policy and the underlying regulations. In addition, in 2017, we developed standardized web-based employee training programs that address the sourcing of minerals, which will be available to our employees worldwide in 2018 and will be mandatory for those employees who are responsible for procurement. |
• | Our employees communicated our Policy to our Direct Suppliers, our commitment to responsible sourcing, compliance expectations and information requirements, including grievance mechanisms. These communications focused on further improving the understanding of the Conflict Minerals regulation in our Direct Suppliers’ supply chain; reviewing the due diligence process in terms of accuracy and timeliness of responses, and fostering efforts to improve compliance. In 2017, we met in person with one of our Direct Suppliers to review the systems and procedures that this supplier used in the Conflict Minerals due diligence process, in order to identify areas of improvement. In 2017, we saw significant improvements in both timeliness and completeness of the information submitted to us by this Direct Supplier. |
• | We have communicated to our Direct Suppliers our expectation that for the manufacture of the Covered Products they should increasingly use SORs certified as “conflict-free” through the available third-party validation mechanisms (“Compliant SORs”). For the 2017 fiscal year, all three Direct Suppliers reported that they used Compliant or Active smelters for the relevant Covered Products during the period covered in this Report.3 Please see Section C for additional information. |
• | In 2017, we published Responsible Sourcing Principles that address supply chain sustainability, including Conflict Minerals, and developed Implementation Guidelines for all of our suppliers to source minerals responsibly. In 2017, we began communicating this guidance to our suppliers and plan to complete these efforts in 2018. |
• | In 2017, we added a new Direct Supplier for one of our Covered Products. As we set out in the 2016 Report, Conflict Minerals compliance, commitment and readiness were among our criteria for selecting this supplier. In addition, Conflict Minerals criteria were included in the capability review of this supplier prior to production. |
