Malvern Panalytical also has adopted this policy as part of our larger efforts to encourage our suppliers to respect human rights and not contribute to conflict. Malvern Panalytical does not directly source conflict minerals from mines, smelters or refiners, and is not in a position to identify on its own these market participants. We therefore require the cooperation of our suppliers in the implementation of this policy and in enabling Malvern Panalytical to meet its compliance obligations.
