    diligence in our supply chain. This policy has been presented to our supply chain partners. Along
    with this policy we have a Supply Chain Due Diligence Procedure which gives us a framework
    to assess risk.

    working environment for our employees.

    systematically follow a 4-step process of identifying and assessing risk, acting upon the findings of
    risk assessments, tracking responses and monitoring follow up and communicating resolutions. It
    is designed to help identify and resolve any adverse human rights impacts that MTC of NY might
    have through cause, contribution or linkage.

    request information from our Supply chain partners. This information is requested through a

    risk.
  3. Monitoring this information is done by Diana Caicedo (Finance Dept) and results are communicated
    to Francesco Chirco, Chief Compliance Officer.

MTC of NY has not identified any potential or actual risks, however, we will continue our due diligence to
monitor any possible human rights violations that we or our customers and supply chain may be impacting
with annual risk assessments being conducted.

    traceability, KYC procedures and AML compliance and following up where needed to gain as much
    information as possible as to the source of materials purchased by us. The gathering of information
    was centered around an electronic Smartsheet form. This is completed online by our supplier. As

Diligence procedures, we have assessed our current suppliers by requesting information from them. The

by our suppliers. Requested information included both material traceability to help identify any red flags on
the origin of materials they supply to MTC of NY from CAHRA’s and business identity information to verify
the identity of businesses and business owners (KYC) and AML compliance. As and when we establish
business relationships with additional suppliers, we will use this same procedure.

assessment was consideration of the OECD Annex II risks.

continue our due diligence to monitor any possible supply chain red flags with annual risk assessments
being conducted.

Management Plan and Procedure. This document is available upon request
