Primary sourcing of metals requires specific guardrails

 Enhanced sustainability in procurement management, including
     OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Sourcing of Minerals

 Dedicated task force and senior level committee
     to guide and decide on due-diligence action

 Comprehensive sustainability assessment tools through the chemical
     industry’s Together for Sustainability (TfS) initiative, including mining-
     specific audit commensurate with multi-stakeholder-based IRMA audit

 Participation in various topic-specific initiatives, e.g., “Cobalt for
     Development” (C4D) artisanal cobalt pilot mine in DRC, Global Battery
     Alliance (GBA), Responsible Minerals Alliance (RMI), International
     Platinum Group Metals Association (IPA), engagement in Atacama

reclaimed for use in producing fresh salts and solutions for industrial applications
 Recycled PGMs offer a sustainable and environmental benefit from end-of-life materials
 All of the recovered metal we generate is used to supply our mobile emissions catalyst and chemical and process catalyst businesses
 The auto catalyst recycling market is the second largest source of PGM supply and is expected to grow significantly in future years
