Decatur Foundry, Inc. (DFI) has called Decatur, Illinois, its home for over 89 years. Located in the central Midwest, DFI is approximately two hours from St. Louis and three hours from both Chicago and Indianapolis. Given our location, we have direct access to multiple highways and interstates, particularly I-55, I-72, I-74 and I-57. In addition, we have access to multiple railways and airports, making us easy to reach by our customers and suppliers.

Purpose:

The Decatur Foundry, Inc. culture is focused on ethics, integrity and trust. Our values drive how we treat each other, our customers, suppliers, partners and even our competitors. As a result, our ethical business culture supports global efforts to assist in the eradication of Human Rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries, where the mining of certain minerals has partially financed the long standing conflict in this region.

Procedure:

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted rules to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to “conflict minerals,” as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The rules require manufacturers to disclose whether the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain “Conflict Minerals” (identified below) sourced from “Covered Countries” (identified below) that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Decatur Foundry, Inc. supports the objectives and intent of this Conflict Minerals legislation and will fulfill any SEC reporting requirements.

“Conflict Minerals” currently refer to gold, tin, tantalum, and tungsten, the derivatives of cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, and wolframite, regardless of where they are sourced, processed or sold. The “Covered Countries” include:  Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Sudan, Zambia, Angola, Congo Republic, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda.

Additionally, Decatur Foundry, Inc. is committed to working toward a conflict free supply chain by implementing a management program integrated with our policies and processes to align our worldwide suppliers with this policy.

• DFI will not knowingly procure raw Conflict Minerals from Covered Countries that are not deemed “conflict free” from mines, smelters, and refiners that produce the minerals used in our products.
• DFI will perform reasonable due diligence to document that Conflict Minerals used in the materials and components supplied to DFI are procured from outside the Covered Countries or if they originate from the Covered Countries that they are certified as “conflict free”.
• DFI is committed to educating our employees and our suppliers to ensure improved visibility in regards to the origin of the minerals and compliance by not knowingly sourcing Conflict Minerals from Covered Countries that are not deemed “conflict free”.

If we discover that the use of any of these Conflict Minerals by DFI is found to originate from the Covered Countries, from sources that are not deemed “conflict free”, we will take actions to transition toward a conflict free status. Given the complexity and variety of our product offering and global supply chain, we understand that this will require an investment in resources and take time, but we are committed to meeting this goal and will be transparent in our progress toward this end.
