Google believes it is essential to establish validated, conflict-free sources of 3TG. To aid in this effort, we
have established a conflict minerals policy and an internal team to implement the policy. We expect our
suppliers to source 3TG from certified conflict-free smelters (such as those audited through the Conflict-
Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program), perform due diligence on the source and chain
of custody of the 3TG used in our products, and provide their due diligence measures to us upon request.
