Supply Chain Due Diligence Reporting

---

Preamble:
ISHTARA DIAMONDS BV has aligned its Supply Chain Due Diligence communication and reporting on RIC's Guidance for this subject (p. 65 of RJC COP 2019 Guidance Document, table 7.5.). As a result, this document recaps the reporting requirements for Tier 2 and downstream companies (ISHTARA DIAMONDS BV's position in the diamond supply chain).

Reporting:

• Management Systems:
  ISHTARA DIAMONDS BV has created a Supply Chain Policy document which has been sent to all its suppliers. The Management responsibility for the due diligence programme has been assigned to ISHTARA DIAMONDS BV's Managing Director, and adequate record-keeping systems and processes for information collection have been installed as per the Company's procedures for this subject.
• Risk Assessment:
  In preparation of its RJC Audit, ISHTARA DIAMONDS BV has engaged with all its suppliers by sending them its Supply Chain Policy and a Due Diligence Questionnaire, both accompanied by an explanatory letter on RJC's COP 7 and the Company's obligations in this respect. To date, the majority of suppliers have sent this questionnaire back, and the Company strives for 100% completion of supplier-response.
  To date, no risks (neither actual or potential) have been identified, but the Company will strive to obtain more detailed information (whether in a formal or in an informal way) from their suppliers.

Response:
To date, no specific risks have been identified in our supply chain, as such, no specific extra steps needed to be undertaken by the Company to manage risks, monitor and track performance of risk mitigation or to follow up any specific risk-areas.
