Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy

Hirebotics LLC | Effective October 2026

Our commitment

Hirebotics designs and integrates collaborative robot systems for welding, cutting and painting. We buy finished components such as robot arms, controls, electronics and fabricated steel. We do not mine, smelt or refine raw materials. Even so, the minerals in our products travel through long global supply chains, and we want them sourced responsibly.

We do not knowingly source minerals that directly or indirectly finance armed groups, or that are linked to serious human rights abuses. That includes the worst forms of child labor, forced labor, and severe environmental harm.

Scope

This policy applies to all products Hirebotics supplies. It covers tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG), along with cobalt, mica, copper, nickel, lithium and natural graphite.

Our approach

We follow the principles of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, scaled to our role as a system integrator. Specifically, we:

• Expect our suppliers to adopt their own responsible minerals policies and to source from smelters and refiners that conform to an independent audit program, such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP).
• Request mineral sourcing information from key suppliers, using the industry-standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT) where available.
• Share the information we have with our customers, using those same templates, when they ask for it.
• Work with any supplier whose sourcing raises concerns so the issue gets corrected. If a supplier is unwilling to address a serious risk, we will look for other sources.

Questions and concerns

To raise a question or concern about minerals sourcing in our supply chain, email compliance@hirebotics.com. Concerns can be reported confidentially.

Review

We review this policy each year and update it as regulations and industry practice change.
