Section 1 Conflict Minerals Disclosure
1.01 |
Conflict Minerals Disclosure |
Quiksilver, Inc. has reviewed its product lines to ascertain whether any
contain the minerals tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold, which are defined under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) as conflict minerals (Conflict Minerals). Quiksilver
has determined that during the reporting period, it contracted to manufacture certain products which contain Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the products (the Covered Products). As a result of this
determination and in accordance with the Final Rule of the Act, Quiksilver conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) to determine whether any Conflict Minerals in its Covered Products originated from the Democratic Republic
of Congo or an adjoining country (the Conflict Region) or came from scrap or recycled sources.
Quiksilvers Conflict Minerals Policy was
established in 2013 and prohibits Conflict Minerals in its supply chain that are not Conflict Free or not from scrap or recycled sources. The Policy also requires that its suppliers undertake reasonable due diligence within their supply
chains to further the Quiksilver Conflict Minerals Policy.
As part of Quiksilvers good faith RCOI for the reporting period, it followed its
established Conflict Minerals Policy and prepared and distributed a questionnaire (the Questionnaire) based on the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global eSustainability Initiative Template (EICC/GeSI). The Questionnaire
was distributed to suppliers contracted to manufacture products containing or potentially containing Conflict Minerals during the reporting period. The Questionnaire required that suppliers verify the source of any Conflict Minerals included in the
products they supplied to Quiksilver. Based on the results of its RCOI, Quiksilver has no reason to believe that any Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products may have originated from the Conflict Region.
Quiksilver continues to work with its suppliers of products containing Conflict Minerals to ensure full compliance with its Conflict Minerals Policy.
