Section 1 Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 |
Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report. |
The Company is concerned about the social and environmental conditions that have been observed in some mines that supply metals known as conflict
minerals, as defined in Form SD, which currently consist of the following metals: columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The longstanding civil war in
the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has impacted many mines that supply conflict minerals. Together with our peers, we are working to support the development and implementation of a tracking and validation
system to ensure conflict minerals that originate in the DRC come from responsible mines and other sources free from association with armed conflict. For more information on our program and to view our Supplier Code of Conduct, please visit our
website at www.motorolasolutions.com, select About Us and then select Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance and Supply Chain. The information contained in or accessible through our website is not a
part of this Form SD and is not deemed incorporated by reference into this Form SD or any other public filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Motorola Solutions has concluded in good faith that during 2022:
|
a) |
Motorola Solutions manufactured and contracted to manufacture products as to which conflict minerals are
necessary to the functionality or production of such products; and |
|
b) |
Based on a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI), Motorola Solutions has reason to believe
that a portion of its necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the DRC or an adjoining country (collectively referred to as the Covered Countries) and has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals
may not be from recycled or scrap sources. |
Motorola Solutions RCOI employed a combination of measures to determine whether the
necessary conflict minerals in Motorola Solutions products originated from the Covered Countries. Motorola Solutions primary means of determining country of origin of necessary conflict minerals was by conducting a supply chain survey
with direct suppliers using the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT). Motorola Solutions used the smelter information from the CMRT and the various smelters country of origin
information provided through our membership to the RMI to determine the country of origin of material that may be in our products.
