Exhibit 1.02
Conflict Minerals Report
Introduction
Our subsidiaries manufacture, market and sell various specialty chemical product lines, including high-quality specialty paints, protective coatings, roofing systems, sealants and adhesives as well as cleaning and dehumidifying products focusing on the maintenance and improvement needs of both the industrial and consumer markets. Our family of products includes those marketed under brand names such as API, Carboline, DAP, Dri-Eaz, Sapphire, EUCO, Fibergrate, Flecto, Flowcrete, Grupo PV, Hummervoll, Universal Sealants, illbruck, Rust-Oleum, Stonhard, Tremco, Viapol, Watco and Zinsser. Our subsidiaries market products in approximately 150 countries and territories and operate manufacturing facilities in approximately 93 locations in the United States, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
After conducting a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) we do not have actual knowledge that any of our products contain any tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold (“3TG Minerals”) that originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or its adjoining countries (the “DRC Region”) or 3TG Minerals that were not from scrap or recycled sources. However, the smelters or materials identified by a few suppliers of direct materials for the manufacture of our carpet cleaning equipment, structure drying equipment, powder coating paints and concrete sealer products (the “Scoped Products”) raised questions as to whether those products could potentially contain 3TG Minerals that originated from the DRC Region. Therefore, in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1), we more closely scrutinized the supply chain of those products, and are therefore filing this Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) to describe the due diligence conducted to determine the origin of any 3TG Minerals in the Scoped Products.
Part I. Due Diligence
A. RCOI
In response to regulations under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its Conflict Minerals provisions (the “Regulations”), we developed a Conflict Minerals Policy (our “Policy”), which is publicly available at www.rpminc.com/worldwide-code-guidelines/ and instituted a RCOI whereby each of our operating companies identified to us all direct material suppliers who provided direct materials during calendar year 2013 that the operating companies believed might possibly contain 3TG Minerals.
We and/or our operating companies sent informational requests to all of the identified direct material suppliers. With the exception of thirteen suppliers who received requests directly from, and who responded directly to, one of our operating companies, all of the identified suppliers who had email addresses received their requests via email, and we submitted and tracked those email requests electronically via a computerized interface (our “IT Interface”) developed by our Information Technology Department. In accordance with our Policy, suppliers who did not have email addresses were contacted by the conflict minerals representative of the operating companies. Our IT Interface email requests directed each supplier to a web-based questionnaire to which each supplier would log-in using a discrete identifying number. Per our Policy, suppliers who were contacted directly by an operating company were asked to answer a questionnaire substantially similar to our web-based questionnaire. The questionnaires, regardless of form, were modeled after the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition’s (“EICC”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and were designed to ascertain from each supplier:
| ¡ | what products they supplied during 2013 to each respective operating company; |
| ¡ | which products, if any, contained any 3TG Minerals; and |
| ¡ | in the event that a supplier identified the presence of a 3TG Mineral, information as to where the 3TG Mineral originated or whether there was any reason to believe that the 3TG Mineral originated from the DRC Region. |
The questionnaires included questions about each supplier’s conflict minerals policy and inquired about each supplier’s RCOI or due diligence procedures related to conflict minerals sourcing. Furthermore, the questionnaire requested the identification of known smelters used to process any disclosed 3TG Minerals. Supplier responses, regardless of form, were tracked by us and are stored electronically.
From January 28, 2014 through May 15, 2014, over 4,900 initial requests were sent to suppliers to answer questionnaires, and non-responding suppliers were reminded via email approximately every 21 days to respond. Additionally, beginning in February 2014, periodic reports were sent to the conflict minerals representatives of each operating company. Those reports listed which of the respective operating company suppliers had not yet responded, and which had responded and identified any products reported by suppliers as either containing or being “unknown” for the presence of 3TG Minerals. On or about April 1, 2014, the conflict minerals representatives initiated more direct contact methods with their respective company’s suppliers who had not responded to prior email reminders. By May 15, 2014, responses to approximately 70% of the initial requests were submitted to us by suppliers either electronically or through separate correspondence. After a review of the responses, certain individual suppliers that submitted ambiguous or unclear responses were contacted in an attempt to clarify their answers.
We reviewed the responses to our RCOI from all suppliers who indicated the existence of, or provided an answer of “unknown” for the existence of, 3TG Minerals. Based upon this RCOI we determined that further due diligence was only required on the Scoped Products.
B.Due Diligence Conducted on the Scoped Products’ 3TG Minerals Chain of Custody
1.Framework
We referred to the Second Edition of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Due Diligence Framework”) and applied that internationally recognized framework to conduct our due diligence efforts. That framework incorporated and included the RCOI procedures.
2.Due Diligence Measures Performed
In accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Framework we incorporated the following measures during our due diligence of the Scoped Products:
| a) | Policy: We developed a Policy designed to identify whether any 3TG Minerals in any of our products originated from the DRC Region. This Policy is applicable to all of our subsidiaries and identifies the procedures each subsidiary must incorporate for internal communications as well as communications with their suppliers and customers to ensure compliance with the Regulations. The Policy is publically available at www.rpminc.com/worldwide-code-guidelines/. |
| b) | Internal Management Structure: Compliance with the Policy is supervised by RPM’s Director of Global Compliance and the Policy is administered and implemented by RPM’s Global Strategic Sourcing Team (“GSST”), a committee composed of the senior purchasing agents representing most of our subsidiaries. Details regarding the direct management and internal and external communication requirements under the Policy have been previously described in the Policy, which is publically available, and under the RCOI section above, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. |
| c) | Controls, Transparency, Engagement with Suppliers and Customers: Due to our decentralized operations, the Policy requires that each subsidiary company identify a person responsible to conduct the RCOI and due diligence for the subsidiary company and to communicate with that company’s suppliers and maintain close coordination with the GSST and RPM’s Director of Global Compliance regarding conflict minerals matters. To facilitate those efforts, starting in February through mid-May 2014, the individual responsible for our conflict minerals IT Interface submited periodic reports to each subsidiary company’s conflict minerals representative identifying which of that respective company’s suppliers had responded to questionnaires, which had not, and described relevant RCOI responses to the questionnaires. In order to ensure transparency and accurate reporting to our customers, the subsidiary company representatives are directed to communicate with and share the information received from their suppliers with the customer service, sales or other company employees who may be responding to customer inquiries regarding conflict minerals. |
| d) | Company Level Grievance Mechanism: As the Policy is applicable to all of our subsidiary companies, any violation of the Policy may be reported by anyone in accordance with our Values & Expectations of 168, which are adopted as our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”). Options for disclosure under the Code include, but are not limited to, contacting RPM’s Hotline where permitted by law. Additionally, the Policy requires the subsidiary company representatives to report any non-responsive suppliers to RPM’s Director of Global Compliance and to the GSST. The Code is publically available at www.rpminc.com/about-rpm/worldwide-code-guidelines/ and instructions for the Hotline are available at www.rpminc.com/hotline/. |
| e) | Identification and Assessment of Risk in the Supply Chain: Based upon the nature of the products manufactured by our companies, the de minimis quantities of any 3TG Minerals that would be necessary to the functionality and production and contained in any of our products, and the relatively small percentage of the global supply of 3TG Minerals originating from the DRC Region, particularly as applicable to tin which would be the most likely 3TG Mineral to be found in our products, we believe that the risk that any suppliers are providing any 3TG Minerals to us that benefit the conflict in the DRC Region is very remote. However, as a result of our varied and diversified product lines, the global supply chain from which we source, the small amount of 3TG Minerals in our products, and the numerous suppliers with which we transact, it is unduly cumbersome and cost prohibitive at this time for us to conduct risk assessments independently for each supplier providing materials for each product. Consequently, the Policy provides that unless previously approved, an RCOI will be conducted on all supplied direct materials during the year prior to the reporting date. During the RCOI process, all suppliers are simultaneously asked questions to determine whether they know from which smelters their 3TG Minerals have been processed and what, if any, conflict free policies and due diligence procedures they have in place. Questions related to smelters and to their due diligence procedures are required as part of applicable post-RCOI due diligence requirements, and are asked along with the RCOI questions in order to expedite due diligence and limit the volume of required communications with any individual supplier. |
| f) | Design to Respond to Identified Risks: Through various channels identified within the Policy, we have a system whereby responses from suppliers can be “flagged” either at the RPM or at the subsidiary company level if it rises to the level that causes someone to believe that a 3TG Mineral from the DRC Region is present in one of our products. When that occurs, review of the entirety of the due diligence portion of the questionnaire submitted to the relevant supplier is evaluated by an RPM representative or the relevant subsidiary company’s conflict minerals representative and if needed the supplier will be contacted in order to clarify answers and to further identify smelters, the chain of custody of the direct material, and to attempt to determine whether any mineral may have benefited the conflict in the DRC Region. Furthermore, in accordance with the Policy, any non-responsive suppliers may be considered by the GSST and the management of any applicable subsidiary for actions designed to mitigate any risks of non-compliant behavior by a supplier that is related to conflict minerals. |
| g) | Follow-up with Relevant Suppliers: During the RCOI process we received written responses from one or more suppliers of direct materials used to manufacture carpet cleaning equipment, structure drying equipment, powder coating paint and concrete sealer products that raised questions as to whether one or more 3TG Minerals contained within those products may have originated from the DRC Region. As a result, we used the due diligence measures described above with respect to these suppliers. Specifically, we further reviewed the answers to all questions from the original questionnaires answered by those suppliers. Moreover, when the due diligence section of the questionnaire was not clear, we asked additional and specific questions of suppliers in an attempt to identify any smelters used to process their supplied direct materials and to determine whether through their due diligence efforts the suppliers have been able to identify whether the sourced direct materials did in fact originate from the DRC Region, and if so whether they determined whether any sourced minerals benefited the armed conflict in the DRC Region. The additional questions did clarify previously given answers, but ultimately did not lead to a more detailed understanding of the full chain of custody for any of the materials. |
3.Independent Private Sector Audit
Based upon the SEC’s guidance provided in its April 29, 2014 Statement on the Effects of the Recent Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule, an independent private sector audit of the due diligence framework conducted by us is not required for this CMR.
4.Risk Mitigation/Future Due Diligence Measures
We are continuing to develop our IT Interface. Based upon lessons learned during this reporting period, we are considering modifying our IT Interface so that the data within it is directly available to each of the subsidiary companies’ conflict mineral representatives and the companies’ customer service representatives so that they will be able to personally access the information relating to their suppliers within the database. This will improve the transparency of the supplier information available to each subsidiary company and will streamline information flow thereby facilitating the ability of each purchasing agent to communicate with his or her suppliers. Additionally, we will disclose to the GSST the identity of all suppliers who were non-responsive to our questionnaires during this reporting period. With this information, the GSST will be able to identify which suppliers may require specialized training or consultation regarding our commitment to adherence with all U.S. and applicable foreign countries’ regulations pertaining to conflict minerals and the importance that those suppliers cooperate with us to comply with those regulations. The information will also facilitate the GSST’s ability to identify other mitigating factors and remedies in an effort to obtain full cooperation from all of our suppliers.
