Non-financial information, such as that included in the Refiner’s red flags  assessment  report,  is subject to more inherent limitations than financial information,   given   the   more   qualitative characteristics of the subject matter and the methods used for determining such information. The methods used by Refiners to comply with the Guidance may differ. It is important to read the Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd. ’s supply chain policy available on Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd. ’s website http://jlnickel.com.cn/
