Geist Policy on Conflict Minerals
This document details Geist’s corporate policy regarding the use of conflict
minerals. The policy expressed in this document should be considered to
cover the Geist and Geist Europe divisions of PCE Inc.

Introduction 5
© 2017 Geist
GM1118 Watchdog 100 Instruction Manual
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act which was passed by the US Congress
in 2010 requires certain companies to annually disclose their use of conflict
minerals. Conflict minerals covered under this act include tantalum, tin,
tungsten, and gold.
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.
