## Exhibit 1.01

**EXHIBIT 1.01**

**STANLEY BLACK & DECKER, INC.**

**Conflict Minerals Report**

**For The Year Ended December 31, 2025**

This report for the year ended December 31, 2025 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("the Rule").

**1.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Overview**

Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. ("the Company") is a global provider of hand tools, power tools, outdoor products and related accessories, as well as a leading provider of engineered fastening solutions. The Company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold ("3TG minerals" or "conflict minerals") are necessary to the functionality or production of those products and which otherwise constitute products under the Rule.

In accordance with the Rule, the Company conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") that was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the 3TG minerals in the Company's products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "DRC") or Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia ("adjoining countries"), or were from recycled or scrap sources. Based on the Company's RCOI, the Company has reason to believe that some of the 3TG minerals used in the Company's products originated in the DRC or adjoining countries and may not have been from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, the Company exercised due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of these 3TG minerals. The Company's due diligence was designed to materially conform to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition (2016) and the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten (collectively "the OECD Guidance"). A description of the Company's RCOI and due diligence measures is set forth in this report.

**Product Description**

The Company's operations are classified into two reportable business segments: Tools & Outdoor and Engineered Fastening.

<u>Tools & Outdoor</u>

The Tools & Outdoor segment is comprised of the Power Tools Group ("PTG"), Hand Tools, Accessories & Storage ("HTAS"), and Outdoor Power Equipment ("Outdoor") product lines.

The PTG product line includes both professional and consumer products. Professional products, primarily under the DEWALT® brand, include professional grade corded and cordless electric power tools and equipment including drills, impact wrenches and drivers, grinders, saws, routers, sanders, and concrete prep and placement tools as well as pneumatic tools and fasteners including nail guns, nails, staplers and staples, and concrete and masonry anchors. DIY and tradesperson focused products include corded and cordless electric power tools sold primarily under the CRAFTSMAN® and STANLEY® brands, and consumer home products such as household power tools, hand-held vacuums, and small appliances primarily under the BLACK+DECKER® brand.

The HTAS product line sells hand tools, power tool accessories and storage products primarily under the DEWALT®, CRAFTSMAN® and STANLEY® brands. Hand tools include measuring, leveling and layout tools, planes, hammers, demolition tools, clamps, vises, knives, saws, chisels, material handling, and industrial and automotive tools. Power tool accessories include drill bits, screwdriver bits, router bits, abrasives, saw blades and threading products. Storage products include tool boxes, sawhorses, cabinets and engineered storage solution products.

------

CRAFTSMAN®, CUB CADET®, BLACK+DECKER®, and HUSTLER® brand names.

<u>Engineered Fastening</u>

The Engineered Fastening segment is comprised of the Engineered Fastening business.

The Engineered Fastening business primarily sells highly engineered components such as fasteners, fittings and various engineered products, which are designed for specific applications across multiple verticals. The product lines include externally threaded fasteners, blind rivets and tools, blind inserts and tools, drawn arc weld studs and systems, engineered plastic and mechanical fasteners, self-piercing riveting systems, precision nut running systems, micro fasteners, high-strength structural fasteners, axel swage, latches, heat shields, pins, and couplings.

This report covers the businesses and their products described above except for those which were determined to be out-of-scope of the Rule.

**Supply Chain**

The Company both manufactures and contracts to manufacture its products described above. Some of those products may be manufactured using 3TG minerals which are procured globally and from multiple suppliers who are several tiers removed from the origin and smelters of their raw materials. As such, the Company does not typically have a direct relationship with smelters and refiners of 3TG minerals. Additionally, the Company's size, complexity of its products, and the depth, breadth and constant evolution of its supply chain, make it difficult to identify sub-tier suppliers from its direct suppliers, and the Company is therefore reliant upon its direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of 3TG minerals contained in components and materials purchased. The Company's suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers and therefore face similar challenges to obtaining origin and chain of custody information for 3TG minerals. Additionally, many of the Company's suppliers and its suppliers' suppliers are foreign and not directly subject to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("the Dodd-Frank Act").

**Conflict Minerals Policy**

The Company has adopted the following Conflict Minerals Policy:

Stanley Black & Decker is committed to conducting business in an ethical, law abiding manner. This includes our commitment to not only comply with all applicable laws and regulations but also to operate our business on a foundation of integrity, trust and respect throughout our supply chain. Along with governmental and non-governmental organizations, civil society and affected third parties, we are concerned about the potential human rights issues, such as forced labor, inhumane or cruel treatment, and child labor, associated with the mining of Conflict Minerals (defined as tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold) which are occurring in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") and adjoining countries ("DRC region").

Stanley Black & Decker is cognizant of our obligations under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act and is working with our suppliers to meet the due diligence and reporting requirements of Section 1502. As part of this process, we are helping our suppliers understand the due diligence steps they can take to investigate the source of any Conflict Minerals in the products they sell us. If, based on our due diligence, we determine there is a reasonable risk that Conflict Minerals in our products may be directly or indirectly linked to the financing of conflict in the DRC region, we will determine an appropriate course of action based on the facts and circumstances relating to the affected products. Such action may include, but is not limited to, the suspension or termination of our relationship with particular suppliers.

Determining whether all products sold by Stanley Black & Decker are Conflict Free is a time consuming and difficult process. We manufacture and distribute thousands of products, many of which contain, or may contain, the minerals that have been defined as Conflict Minerals. We source the raw materials and component parts for the products we manufacture, as well as finished products, from thousands of other companies around the world. Stanley Black & Decker is and has been working with our suppliers to educate them regarding Stanley Black & Decker's disclosure obligations under the Dodd-Frank Act and concerning steps they can take to obtain increased transparency regarding the origin of minerals contained in the products they supply to us.

Stanley Black & Decker has the following expectations of its suppliers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• suppliers should identify any products sold to Stanley Black & Decker that contain any Conflict Minerals which are not DRC Conflict Free;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• suppliers should develop Conflict Minerals policies, due diligence frameworks, and management systems that are designed to prevent Conflict Minerals that are not DRC Conflict Free from being included in the products sold to Stanley Black & Decker; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stanley Black & Decker suppliers should source Conflict Minerals only from sources that are DRC Conflict Free.

In doing so, suppliers are expected to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• implement and communicate to their personnel and suppliers policies that are consistent with this policy, and require their direct and indirect suppliers to do the same;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• put in place procedures for the traceability of Conflict Minerals, working with their direct and indirect suppliers as applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• use reasonable efforts to source Conflict Minerals from smelters and refiners validated as being DRC Conflict Free, and require their direct and indirect suppliers to do the same;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advise Stanley Black & Decker of any determination that the supplier either has concluded or has a reasonable basis to believe the products it currently sells or has sold to Stanley Black & Decker are not DRC Conflict Free;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain reviewable business records supporting the source of Conflict Minerals; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• from time to time, at Stanley Black & Decker's request, provide Stanley Black & Decker with information concerning the origin of Conflict Minerals included in products sold to Stanley Black & Decker, which Stanley Black & Decker shall be entitled to use or disclose in satisfying any legal or regulatory requirements or in any customer or marketing communications, notwithstanding the terms of a confidentiality agreement that do not specifically reference this paragraph.

Suppliers also are encouraged to support industry efforts to enhance traceability and responsible practices in Conflict Minerals supply chains.

<u>Consequences of Supplier Noncompliance</u>

Stanley Black & Decker evaluates its relationships with its suppliers on an ongoing basis. Stanley Black & Decker reserves the right to evaluate the extent to which a supplier has failed to reasonably comply with this policy. Stanley Black & Decker also reserves the right to request additional documentation from suppliers regarding the origin of any Conflict Minerals included in any products sold to Stanley Black & Decker.

Suppliers who do not reasonably comply with this policy shall be reviewed by Stanley Black & Decker's Global Supply Management ("GSM") organization for future business.

In the event Stanley Black & Decker determines that the supplier's efforts to comply with this policy have been deficient and the supplier fails to cooperate in developing and implementing reasonable remedial steps, Stanley Black & Decker reserves the right to take appropriate actions up to and including discontinuing purchases from the supplier. Nothing in this policy is intended to in any way grant any additional rights or expectations to any Stanley Black & Decker supplier or in any way modify or otherwise limit in any way any of Stanley Black & Decker's contractual or legal rights.

<u>Grievance Mechanism and Reporting</u>

Our employees, suppliers and other parties can report concerns and alleged violations of this policy via the SBD Integrity Helpline ("Integrity Helpline"). The Integrity Helpline can be reached 24 hours/365 days a year, and translators are available.

Reports can be made anonymously and will be kept confidential to the fullest extent practicable and allowed by law.

We will not take any retaliatory action against our employees, suppliers or other parties who make a report in good faith. Our suppliers are encouraged to contact the Integrity Helpline if they wish to seek guidance on the application of this policy.

<u>Conclusion</u>

Stanley Black & Decker fully understands the importance of this issue to its customers and is committed to supply chain initiatives and overall corporate social responsibility and sustainability efforts that work towards a DRC Conflict Free supply chain. We encourage all of our suppliers to likewise support these efforts.

**RCOI**

Prior to conducting the Company's RCOI, the Company performed a risk-based assessment of its products for components and/or raw materials which were most likely to contain 3TG minerals. The Company required direct suppliers of those components and/or raw materials to complete a supply chain survey through a third-party compliance tool that uses the Responsible Minerals Initiative's ("RMI") Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to determine whether any of those components and/or raw materials originated in the DRC or adjoining countries, or were from recycled or scrap sources, and, if applicable, to enable the identification of smelters and refiners that process the 3TG minerals.

The Company's escalation process for suppliers who were delinquent in responding to the Company's survey by the specified date included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• System generated emails prior to the survey closing with an increasing frequency of reminders as the survey due date approached

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Direct communications via phone call(s) and/or email(s), as appropriate, from GSM supplier relationship owner and/or Conflict Minerals Working Group member

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Periodic response status updates between GSM supplier relationship owners and Conflict Minerals Working Group

Smelters and refiners identified in the survey responses were aggregated and then validated against the RMI's Standard Smelter List, and once validated, against the RMI's Active and Conformant Facilities List to determine conformance status with the RMI's Responsible Minerals Assurance Process or other equivalent assessments cross-recognized by the RMI (collectively referred to as "RMAP" in this report). Conformant smelters and refiners were then validated against the RMI's RCOI Data Document to determine country of origin information for the minerals being processed by the smelters and refiners.

Based on the suppliers' responses to the RCOI, the Company has reason to believe that some of the 3TG minerals used in the Company's products may have originated in the DRC or adjoining countries and may not have been from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, the Company exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TG minerals used in the Company's products.

**2.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Due Diligence**

**2.1**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Design of Due Diligence**

The Company's due diligence measures are designed to materially conform with the OECD Guidance.

**OECD Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems**

<u>Company Policy</u>

The Company has a Conflict Minerals Policy which is posted on its website at <u>www.stanleyblackanddecker.com/investors</u> under the Governance section.

<u>Internal Team</u>

The Company has a Steering Committee sponsored by the Company's Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer, as well as a Conflict Minerals Working Group. Members of the Steering Committee and Conflict Minerals Working Group are subject matter experts from relevant functions such as Global Supply Management, Sustainability, Finance and Legal. The Steering Committee is responsible for oversight of the Company's conflict minerals compliance strategy and due diligence process, monitoring the due diligence progress, ensuring that communication of critical information reaches employees and suppliers, and ensuring the timely and accurate filing of this report. The Conflict Minerals Working Group is charged with implementation of the Company's policy, conducting due diligence, communications to suppliers and others, and reporting its progress to the Steering Committee on a regular basis.

------

<u>System of Controls and Transparency Over the Supply Chain</u>

The Company surveys its supply chain utilizing a third-party compliance tool that models the RMI's Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the "CMRT"). The CMRT is a supply chain survey designed to gather information from a company's suppliers to determine whether any of the components and/or raw materials provided to the Company originated in the DRC or adjoining countries, or were from recycled or scrap sources, and, if applicable, to enable the identification of smelters and refiners that process the 3TG minerals.

<u>Supplier Engagement</u>

The Company's Conflict Minerals Policy is posted on its supplier portal for all suppliers to access. Additionally, the Company's supplier Master Purchase Agreements include a conflict minerals provision which requires its suppliers to provide information necessary to allow the Company and its customers to comply with the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and explicitly gives the Company the rights to audit the supply chain and terminate arrangements with suppliers who are unwilling or unable to comply. As the specific conflict minerals provision was introduced into supplier Master Purchase Agreements several years ago, the majority of the Company's agreements contain this provision. As older agreements come up for renewal, the conflict minerals provision is introduced into new agreements. While the Company cannot unilaterally impose new contract terms, including those that would compel its suppliers to support the Company's conflict minerals due diligence efforts, all Master Purchase Agreements contain a compliance with laws clause which provides for the Company's suppliers to abide by directives from the Company to be in compliance with applicable laws. The Company does not knowingly engage new suppliers who are not in compliance with the Company's Conflict Minerals Policy.

<u>Grievance Mechanism</u>

The Company has an established grievance mechanism for reporting violations of the Company's policies.

<u>Maintain Records</u>

The Company maintains conflict minerals related information in accordance with its record retention policy.

**OECD Step 2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain**

The Company performs a risk-based assessment of its products for components and/or raw materials which are most likely to contain 3TG minerals and surveys suppliers of those components and/or raw materials using the CMRT to determine whether any of those components and/or raw materials originated in the DRC or adjoining countries, or were from recycled or scrap sources, and, if applicable, identify smelters and refiners in the Company's supply chain. Identified smelters and refiners are aggregated and validated against the RMI's Standard Smelter List, and once validated, against the RMI's Active and Conformant Facilities List to determine conformance status with the RMAP.

The Company reviews responses to the survey for red flags in order to identify areas of potential risk such as incomplete responses, insufficient due diligence or potentially higher risk sourcing based upon criteria internally defined.

**OECD Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks**

Results of the supply chain assessment are reported to the Steering Committee which is responsible for monitoring any actual or potential risks identified in the supply chain and reporting findings to the Company's Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer.

The Company has a risk mitigation plan to manage its non-conformant suppliers towards conformity with the Company's Conflict Minerals policy. GSM is responsible for taking appropriate actions up to and including suspension or termination of the Company's relationship with non-conformant suppliers. The Company does not knowingly engage new suppliers who are not in compliance with the Company's Conflict Minerals Policy.

The Company supports the RMAP which audits smelters' and refiners' due diligence activities. The data on which the Company relies for certain statements in this report is obtained through the Company's membership (member "SBDI") in the RMI, using the reasonable country of origin inquiry report for the Company, or based upon the information publicly available on the RMI's website.

------

The Company's new product introduction process includes a step to assess new products for the presence of 3TG minerals. The Company has also revised its new product specifications to ensure that the use of 3TG is limited solely to the product's functionality.

The Company also integrates any new acquisitions into its due diligence processes described herein.

**OECD Step 4: Carry Out Independent Third Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner's Due Diligence Practices**

The Company supports the efforts of the RMAP to audit the due diligence practices of the smelters and refiners, through its active membership in the RMI. The Company utilizes information on the RMI's website (<u>www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org</u>) to determine which smelters and refiners are conformant.

**OECD Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence**

This report is the Company's annual report on its due diligence, is filed along with Form SD with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is publicly available on the Company's website (<u>www.stanleyblackanddecker.com/investors)</u> under the Financial Information section.

**2.2**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Due Diligence Performed**

The Company performed the following due diligence for the reporting period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Identified suppliers of components and/or raw materials which were most likely to contain 3TG minerals and surveyed those suppliers using a third-party compliance tool that utilizes the latest published CMRT. Those suppliers were engaged through direct communication from GSM.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Identified suppliers providing 3TG minerals from the DRC or adjoining countries and compiled an aggregate list of smelters and refiners identified by those suppliers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Utilized a third-party compliance tool to validate those smelters and refiners against the RMI's Active and Conformant Facilities List.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compared those validated smelters and refiners against those identified as conformant or active and for those that are conformant, against the RMI's RCOI Data Document to determine country of origin for the 3TG minerals processed by those smelters and refiners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Utilized a third-party compliance tool to identify non-responding suppliers and provide reports to GSM for follow-up, including direct communications via phone call(s) and/or email(s), as appropriate, from GSM supplier relationship owner and/or Conflict Minerals Working Group member, as well as periodic response status updates between GSM supplier relationship owner and Conflict Minerals Working Group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reported status of due diligence progress, including identification of red flag suppliers, to the Company's Steering Committee and to the Company's Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Supported the RMAP through maintenance of an active membership in the RMI.

**3.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Due Diligence Results**

The Company received responses from 58% of its suppliers surveyed, representing 70% of the supplier spend surveyed. The percentage of supplier spend represented by survey responses received decreased year-over-year, primarily due to non-responses from certain larger spend suppliers. However, many of these larger spend non-responding suppliers, representing approximately 10% of supplier spend surveyed, had previously reported through the Company's 2024 due diligence process that their products did not contain 3TG minerals.

The Company's suppliers are generally several tiers removed from the origin and smelters of their raw materials, and are therefore faced with similar challenges in performing their due diligence. In some instances, the information provided by the Company's suppliers is incomplete or not verified, and the Company is therefore unable to verify with certainty the source and chain of custody of all the 3TG minerals in the Company's supply chain.

The Company identified 337 smelters and refiners, as reported by the Company's suppliers, as potentially having processed the 3TG minerals contained in the Company's products for the reporting period. Some of the Company's suppliers responded at a company-level rather than product-level; therefore, there may be more smelters and refiners included in the Company's results than those that actually processed the 3TG minerals contained in the Company's products. The Company has only included in its results those smelters and refiners that have been validated as smelters and refiners appearing on the RMI Standard Smelter List as of May 20, 2026. Other processing facilities were reported in the Company's supply chain; however, they are not

included in these results, as they have not yet been validated by the RMI. The identified smelters and refiners are further broken out as follows:

**4.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Steps to be Taken to Mitigate Risk**

The Company intends to take the following steps to mitigate the risk that 3TG minerals contained in the Company's products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continue to encourage the Company's suppliers to improve response rates and the content of responses, including names, country of origin and mine or location of origin.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continue to use and encourage the Company's suppliers to use the Conflict Minerals Resources Center and other publicly available tools from the RMI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Engage suppliers to request their smelters and refiners to participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process or other equivalent assessments cross-recognized by the RMI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continue to provide non-validated processing facilities to the RMI for validation and potential participation in these assessments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continue to support the RMI's efforts to support the responsible sourcing of minerals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Encourage the Company's suppliers to consider alternative sources for the 3TG minerals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continue to integrate Conflict Minerals contractual language in the Company's new or renewed supplier contracts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Determine an appropriate course of action which may include, but is not limited to, the suspension or termination of the Company's relationship with a non-conformant supplier.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Avoid engaging with new suppliers who are not in compliance with the Company's Conflict Minerals Policy.

The Company recognizes that due diligence is a dynamic process and requires on-going risk monitoring. After implementing these risk mitigation strategies, the Company will reassess the effectiveness of its risk management plan, and may adapt further strategies or refine existing strategies to ensure effective risk mitigation. Furthermore, future acquisitions will be integrated into the Company's due diligence processes.
