Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report
ABB Ltd
For the year ended December 31, 2014
This Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) of ABB Ltd for the calendar year 2014 has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1” or the “Rule”). The Rule was adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, gold, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“necessary conflict minerals” or “3TG”). These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.
If a registrant can establish that their necessary conflict minerals originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country(1) (collectively the “covered countries”), or are from recycled or scrap sources, they must submit a Form SD which describes their determination and the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) performed.
If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the conflict minerals in their supply chain may have originated in the covered countries and are not from recycled or scrap sources, or if they are unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the registrant must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody. The registrant must submit a CMR annually to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.
Numerous terms in this report are defined in Rule 13p-1 and Form SD and the reader is invited to refer to those sources. The report presented herein is not audited. The content of any Web site referred to in this report is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Report.
Section 1: Due diligence framework
In accordance with Rule 13p-1, we undertook due diligence efforts, including the RCOI described in Form SD, to determine whether the 3TG in our products originated from sources (e.g. suppliers, smelters, refiners, mines) that did not or do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the covered countries. We designed our due diligence measures to be in conformity, in all material respects, with the internationally recognized due diligence framework set forth in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD, 2013) (the OECD Framework) and related supplements for tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.
Section 2: Due diligence measures undertaken
Our due diligence measures to identify the sources of 3TG contained in our products commenced in 2013. Our due diligence efforts for 2014 focused on maintaining the company-wide measures previously introduced while
(1) The Democratic Republic of the Congo and its adjoining countries (Angola, Burundi, Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, or Zambia).
expanding and enhancing our measures. Since commencing our due diligence efforts, we have taken the following five steps, consistent with the OECD Framework:
Step 1: Establish company management systems
We undertook the following measures to establish company management systems per Step 1 of the OECD Framework:
· maintained a cross-functional conflict minerals team, including representatives from supply chain, legal, technology, and finance, as well as from each of our five operating divisions, to direct the execution of our conflict minerals compliance program.
· maintained and updated our “ABB Policy on Conflict Minerals” with respect to the sourcing of 3TG and published this policy online at www.abb.com/conflict-minerals
· updated our “Supplier Code of Conduct” to require our suppliers to implement a policy regarding conflict minerals, to exercise due diligence to investigate the source of these minerals, and to respond in a timely manner to ABB’s requests for evidence of their compliance with these requirements.
· updated our “ABB General Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Goods” to require our suppliers to provide requested information regarding the use of 3TG in their products supplied to ABB. In addition (as described on our Web site), these updated terms and conditions require our suppliers to:
· work towards ensuring that they do not have 3TG sourced from conflict mines in products supplied to ABB,
· comply with the ABB Supplier Code of Conduct, including newly-updated sections relating to conflict minerals compliance,
· take the necessary steps to demonstrate that any 3TG contained in the products supplied to ABB do not originate from mines that support or fund conflict within the covered countries, and
· extend their search further down their supply chain, if necessary, to determine the source of specified minerals.
· clarified that our company-wide integrity reporting channels, such as the ABB Business Ethics Hotline, are available for the reporting of any violations of our Supplier Code of Conduct by our suppliers, including requirements related to conflict minerals. The hotline is maintained by an independent third party and can be used by ABB employees as well as parties outside ABB.
· invited suppliers involved in the RCOI, to take an ABB-specific web-based training course on conflict minerals that covered the highlights of the relevant law and the importance of ethical sourcing to the industry.
· developed ABB-specific web-based training courses customized for various ABB employee groups (management, buyers, engineering, research and development, product sales and other).
Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
To identify risks in the supply chain, we
· performed procedures to identify direct suppliers of materials which had a high likelihood of supplying products containing 3TG to us. Suppliers were determined based on MDF codes which identify the types of products purchased by ABB from each supplier.
· surveyed selected direct suppliers, based on the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, as part of the RCOI described in Form SD.
· utilized a dedicated team, responsible for reviewing supplier surveys and assessing “red flags” (as described in the OECD Framework). We engaged a specialist outsource provider (the “Outsource Provider”) to send and receive supplier surveys, follow up on non-responses, summarize survey results, and to provide the list of red flags to ABB for additional follow-up.
· asked the selected suppliers to gather information about smelters/refiners in their supply chain and provide us with the names of smelters/refiners processing 3TG for those suppliers. Although the suppliers who responded to our survery were able to provide us with a list of the original smelters/refiners used to process 3TG contained in their products, many of our suppliers were unable to identify and represent which smelter/refiner was specifically used for 3TG in the products or materials supplied to ABB. To further assist in our supplier risk assessment, the names of the reported smelters/refiners were compared against a list received from the CFSI of known smelters/refiners, including their conflict status. The list of smelters/refiners we have identified to be processing or refining amounts of 3TG in our products is included below under Annex 1 to this CMR.
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Where suppliers did not respond to the initial survey request, the Outsource Provider made additional follow-up inquiries with the suppliers. The Outsource Provider also followed up on incomplete or inconsistent supplier responses, requesting additional information or clarification. In most cases it was necessary to involve ABB personnel, especially product buyers, to work with suppliers to try to resolve insufficient responses.
For identified red flags, including insufficient responses, we have determined the appropriate corrective action plan to be implemented. Ultimately, this could include the discontinuation of sourcing from a supplier. Our red flag review process reflects guidance from the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and the OECD Framework.
A management reporting dashboard was prepared regularly which summarized the content of survey responses and the status of our risk assessment process. The dashboard summarized the status of supplier responses, the types of red flags identified and any corrective action required.
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner due diligence practices
We are a downstream consumer of 3TG. Generally, we do not purchase raw minerals or ores, and are several steps removed from smelters/refiners within our supply chain. Therefore, we do not perform direct audits of those smelters/refiners. However, we do support the EICC and GeSI’s Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative which is a measure contemplated by the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, the internationally recognized standard on which our company’s
systems (described in Step 1 above) are based. The data on which we relied for certain statements in this CMR was obtained through our membership in the CFSI, using the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry report for member ASEA.
Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
This report and the associated Form SD are available online at www.abb.com/investorrelations under “Financial results and presentations”, “Quarterly results and annual reports”, “2014”, “SEC Filings”.
Section 3: Results of due diligence
Our supplier responses identified 311 smelters/refiners as being the source of 3TG in their products. The complete list of identified smelters/refiners is included in Annex I of this CMR. However, the suppliers only provided the country of origin of the 3TG in a limited number of cases. We obtained further sourcing information through our membership in the CFSI which allows us access to the names of the countries of origin for 3TG processed by certain smelters/refiners.

All of the identified smelters/refiners known to be sourcing from the covered countries are designated as conflict-free by the CFSI as they are currently in compliance with the relevant conflict-free smelter program assessment protocols issued by the CFSI.
We have not been able to determine the conflict status for all smelters/refiners used in our supply chain. However, we have not identified any smelters/refiners in our supply chain which are known to be sourcing 3TG that directly or indirectly finances or benefits armed groups in the covered countries.
As allowed by the Statement on the Effect of the Recent Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule, issued by the SEC on April 29, 2014, ABB has not described its products as “DRC conflict free”, “having not been found to be ‘DRC conflict free’” or “DRC conflict undeterminable”.
Section 4: Continuous improvement efforts to mitigate risk
During 2014, we continued to make progress in engaging our suppliers and obtaining information from them as to the country of origin of 3TG.
During 2015, we plan to take the following steps as part of our due diligence program:
· continue to include a conflict minerals clause in new or renewed supplier contracts that requires suppliers to provide us with necessary 3TG sourcing information,
· increase the number of suppliers who have taken our conflict minerals training to increase the supplier survey response rate and improve the quality of their responses,
· increase our participation in the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative and provide assistance to increase the number of smelters/refiners participating in the conflict-free smelter program,
· continue to follow the OECD due diligence guidance and be involved in relevant trade associations to define and improve best practices and encourage responsible sourcing of 3TG,
· invest in additional supply chain information systems to enhance our abilities to track conflict minerals in our products,
· expand the number of suppliers surveyed to increase the coverage of our supplier spend on necessary conflict minerals for the 2015 compliance period,
· engage key suppliers to improve the quality of the their survey responses and to help them better understand the importance of this initiative to ABB,
· increase the resources assigned to the supplier survey process to increase the response rate and to improve the quality and completeness of responses.
Section 5: Independent audit
As ABB has not elected to describe any of its products as “DRC conflict free”, this CMR does not require an independent private sector audit.
