GM1159 ClosetAir Installation Manual
Although Geist is not directly subjected to the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act,
Geist recognizes that all companies within the electronics manufacturing industry
supply chain are impacted by this legislation. Geist supports the intent of the law,
which is the reduction of violence within the Democratic Republic of the Congo and will
take several actions to both advance the goals of the Dodd-Frank Act and to provide
exceptional support to our customers.
· Geist will work with our direct suppliers to identify purchased components and
materials that contain tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold.
· Geist will work with our direct suppliers to trace sources of any tin, tantalum,
tungsten or gold used in our products back to the smelter.
· Geist will document our efforts to trace tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold minerals
back to the smelter and will accurately report the results to our customers.
· Geist will continue to monitor industry progress in identifying conflict-free smelters
and will adjust corporate policy as the electronics supply chain becomes more fully
documented.
Geist will not require that our direct suppliers source only conflict-free minerals until an
adequate number of smelters has been reliably identified and audited by The Electronic
Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) to
service the electronic industry supply chain. Mandating a conflict-free supply chain
before an adequate number of smelters has been identified will prohibit the use of all
tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
and surrounding countries. This prohibition would cut off the sole income source for
many artisanal miners within the region and may result in increased violence within the
Democratic Republic of the Congo in direct opposition to the goals of the Dodd-Frank
Act. Geist will work continuously with our direct suppliers in order to annually increase
the percentage of documented conflict-free minerals that are used in our products until
all products can be certified as conflict-free.
