Kimball Electronics, Inc. filed its Conflict Minerals Report for the reporting period from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, in compliance with Rule 13p-1 and Form SD under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The report details the company's efforts to identify the sources of specified minerals in its products.
The company identified 578 smelters and refiners (SORs) in its supply chain that processed conflict minerals, with 251 of these certified as conformant with the Responsible Minerals Assurance Program's (RMAP) assessment protocols or committed to undergoing an RMAP audit. Kimball Electronics utilized the Responsible Minerals Initiative's (RMI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to gather information from approximately 3,206 direct suppliers.
Despite these efforts, the company stated it was unable to determine with certainty whether the necessary conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries or if their mining or trade directly or indirectly benefited Armed Groups. Kimball Electronics outlined ongoing steps to mitigate risk, including communicating its Sustainability Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct, improving supplier engagement, and supporting industry initiatives for smelter audits.
