[SID_295] Has the entity identified forced labour or child labour risks in its activities and supply chains related to any of the following sectors and industries

[SID_295] Please provide additional information on the parts of the entitys activities and supply chains that carry a risk of forced labour or child labour being used, as well as the steps that the entity has taken to assess and manage that risk
[SID_295] Electrical components utilized in manufacturing of devices represent the largest risk of forced or child labor in Aiphone Corporations supply chain
[SID_295] Companies who design components often have global footprints and utilize contract labor (whom often sub-contract) to meet their manufacturing needs
[SID_295] Many semiconductor devices and PCBs are manufactured in localities known to have recent incidents of forced and/or child labor
[SID_295] Aiphone Corporations exposure to end products manufactured from mined commodities also carries a risk of forced or child labor
[SID_295] Mining has historically been and continues to be one of the worst offending industries in utilizing forced and/or child labor
[SID_295] The U.S
[SID_295] Department of Labor estimates that at least 25,000 children are working in cobalt mines in the DRC today, for
[SID_295] examplei
[SID_295] Companies are incentivized to source commodities such as bauxite, iron ore, and tin ore from localities with the lowest cost to produce them, but the tradeoff is often that lower costs typically come with less robust institutional labor protections and more frequent instances of locally operating companies being involved in unethical labor practices
[SID_295] We do not have visibility on the full map of suppliers the smelters producing semi-finished metal (used by our vendors) utilize which presents a risk
[SID_295] Nearly every business involved with sourcing or manufacturing any electronic devices should list mined commodities as a risk for exposure to forced and child labor
[SID_295] Tin is the primary metal used for soldering
[SID_295] The worlds 3 largest tin-producing countries are Myanmar, Indonesia, and China-- these three nations produce significantly more tin than the rest of the world combined
[SID_295] The US government estimates there are over 100,000 Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities currently subjected to forced labor in Chinaii
[SID_295] Myanmar is enveloped in a civil war, nominally ruled by a military junta, where close to one in ten children are estimated to be involved in child laboriii
[SID_295] There is also a lengthy history of civil rights and forced labor abuses against the Rohingya people in Myanmar
[SID_295] Apple and Samsung have both conducted somewhat recent investigations as to whether tin produced using child labor sourced from Bangka Island in Indonesia ended up in their productsiv
[SID_295] Especially for commodities where most of the worlds output comes from regions with problematic historical records regarding child/forced labor, there will be risk of forced and child labor
[SID_295] Has the entity taken any measures to remediate any forced labour or child labour in its activities and supply chains? No 12
[SID_295] Please provide additional information on any measures the entity has taken to remediate any forced labour or child labour N/A 13
