BlackBerry Limited has filed its Specialized Disclosure Report (Form SD) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, detailing its due diligence on the sourcing of Conflict Minerals in its products. The report, covering the period from January 1 to December 31, 2023, states that BlackBerry's Transportation and Asset Tracking hardware products contain Conflict Minerals necessary for their functionality or production. The company acknowledges that some of these minerals may originate from conflict-affected regions, including the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. BlackBerry has conducted a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) using information from component manufacturers and compared it against the Responsible Minerals Initiative's Conformant Smelter Sourcing Information report to determine the source of the minerals. The company's Conflict Minerals Report, which includes findings from the RCOI and further due diligence, is publicly available on its website. The report was signed by Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary Phil Kurtz on May 13, 2024.
