9. Risk of not being Socially Responsible ?
4
Stock Price:
Risk: STERIS inventor base
is largely institutional.
Divestment of shares for
nonfinancial reasons would
increase stock volatility.
Constraints:
• Depth of supply chain
• Multiple ERP systems
• Little influence with suppliers
• Regulated devices, changing
suppliers has regulatory
implications.

23. • We are not a manufacturer of electronics parts and thus not
in a position to provide accurate information relating to
conflict Minerals….
• We distribute more than 555,000 products, it is our policy to
not distribute products from the DRC and under the terms
and conditions or our contracts our suppliers warrant they
are in compliance with this policy…
• We assume that our sub-suppliers purchase raw materials
from legal sources according to EU or national law. It is
not our part to investigate this fact….
• Dodd Frank is a US law, we have no plans nor obligations
to comply with this non EU law. We are in full compliance
with all EU laws…
