Responsible Sourcing of Minerals Policy
1. Purpose
This policy outlines Logitech's commitment to responsible sourcing of minerals, including 3TG (tin, tantalum, tungsten,
and gold), cobalt, and mica, and defines the requirements for our operations and supply chain to ensure that these minerals are sourced in a way that respects human rights, supports responsible mining, and mitigates conflict risks.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all Logitech operations and facilities worldwide, as well as our business partners and direct (Tier 1)
suppliers and their supply chains. We require our suppliers to comply with the standards outlined in this policy and integrate them into their operations and supply chains.
3. Minerals of Concern
Logitech is subject to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ( the
Dodd-Frank Act ), which defines conflict minerals as cassiterite (tin), coltan (tantalum), wolframite (tungsten), and gold
(or their derivatives) sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries and used to fund conflict. These minerals are commonly referred to as 3TG.
In addition to 3TG, our responsible minerals program also includes cobalt and mica, minerals that are known to potentially originate from conflict-affected and high-risk areas (CAHRAs). We are committed to ensuring that the sourcing of these minerals does not directly or indirectly support conflict or human rights abuses, while promoting responsible mining practices that support livelihoods.
4. Standards we Uphold
We uphold responsible sourcing standards set by the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and the Responsible
Minerals Initiative (RMI). Our program also complies with all relevant legal requirements and reflects international best practices, including the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from
Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas ( OECD Guidance ).
We actively monitor emerging regulations such as the European Conflict Minerals Regulations and other relevant standards. While we do not import minerals or metals into the EU, we have implemented measures to align our program with the spirit of these regulations and to ensure continuous improvement in our mineral sourcing practices.

5. Target
Logitech commits to achieving and maintaining a 100% conflict-free supply chain on a year-on-year basis.
This will be accomplished by requiring all smelters and refiners (SORs) in the supply chain for 3TG (tin, tantalum,
tungsten, and gold), cobalt, and mica to meet one of the following criteria:
%? Are verified as Conformant or Active under the Responsible Minerals Initiative Responsible Minerals
Assurance Process (RMAP), or an equivalent internationally recognised independent third-party audit programme;
or
%? Are confirmed not to source minerals from Covered Countries or Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs)
by an independent third party.
6. Risk Management and Due Diligence
To mitigate the risks associated with mineral sourcing, we engage with our suppliers to raise awareness of the potential impacts of sourcing minerals from conflict-affected or high-risk areas. We communicate this policy through our website,
our supply chain, and relevant supplier contracts.
Each year, we assess our direct (Tier 1) suppliers to identify materials and components that may contain 3TG, cobalt,
and mica. We require suppliers to identify and disclose the smelters and refiners (SORs) in their supply chains, using tools like the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT).
