Exhibit 1.01
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL INC. FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015
INTRODUCTION
Philip Morris International Inc. (“PMI”, “Company,” “we,” “our”) is a Virginia holding company incorporated in 1987. Our subsidiaries and affiliates and their licensees are engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes, other tobacco products and other nicotine-containing products in markets outside of the United States of America.
This Conflict Minerals Report (the "Report") is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”) for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2015.
Conflict Minerals are defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite and gold, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (collectively, “3TG”). We contract to manufacture a precisely controlled heating device, commercialized under the brand name iQOS, into which a specially designed tobacco product is inserted to create an aerosol, as well as related accessories and parts (collectively, "Covered Products"). During the reporting period, we sourced the Covered Products from only one supplier. The electronic components of the Covered Products contain all 3TG; such 3TG are necessary for the functionality or production of the Covered Products. We began the commercialization of iQOS in 2014.
We have implemented policies, procedures and a due diligence process to determine whether any of the 3TG contained in the Covered Products are sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") or any of its adjoining countries ("Covered Countries") and finance armed conflict in the region. In order to support the economic activity in the region we do not discourage our suppliers from sourcing 3TG from the Covered Countries under our Conflict Minerals Policy (“Policy”). However, our Policy provides that we may not knowingly procure 3TG that originate from the Covered Countries, unless they are certified as "DRC conflict free."
We are far removed from the sources of ores from which the 3TG contained in the Covered Products are produced and the smelters and refiners that process those ores ("SORs"). Therefore, the efforts undertaken to identify the countries of origin for the 3TG reflect both (i) our position in the supply chain and; (ii) our particular circumstances, each in light of the limited amount of information available globally on the traceability and sourcing of these ores.
DUE DILIGENCE MEASURES
A. Design of Our Due Diligence Measures
Our Conflict Minerals due diligence was performed in accordance with the internationally recognized due diligence framework provided by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “OECD Guidance”), as applicable for 3TG and downstream companies (as the term ‘downstream companies’ is defined in the OECD Guidance). Our due diligence measures in relation to Covered Products included:
1. Establishing of Company management systems for Conflict Minerals supply chain due diligence and reporting compliance;
2. Identifying and assessing Conflict Minerals risks in our supply chain;
3. Designing and implementing strategies to respond to Conflict Minerals risks we have identified;
4. Encouraging the development of an independent third-party audit protocol for assessing the due diligence practices of SORs relevant to our supplier and Covered Products; and
5. Reporting on our supply chain due diligence activities, as required by Rule 13p-1.
B. Due Diligence Program Elements
1. Management Systems
Conflict Minerals Policy
We adopted our Policy and communicated it to our direct supplier to help achieve responsible sourcing of 3TG in our supply chain. While some suppliers may continue to source 3TG originating from the Covered Countries and not certified as DRC conflict- free, we are committed to operating with integrity and focused on responsible sourcing of 3TG applying a set of principles wherever we operate. Our Policy is subject to regular reviews, is attached to this Report as appendix A, and is publicly available on our website at:
http://www.pmi.com/eng/sustainability/conflict_minerals/Pages/conflict_minerals_report.aspx
Internal Team
Under the management of our Senior Vice President, Operations, we have established a cross-functional Conflict Minerals Team, with necessary expertise in sourcing, operations, sustainability, finance, corporate affairs and law.
As part of our organizational framework, our Product Regulatory Compliance Department verifies all ingredients and materials used in our Direct Materials. During this process, any issues regarding 3TG are escalated to the legal department, which analyzes the issues and, where necessary, involves other members of the Conflict Minerals Team to resolve them.
The Conflict Minerals Team has overall responsibility for developing and implementing our Conflict Minerals compliance strategy, as well as for reviewing the ongoing progress and effectiveness of the program. To achieve this aim, the Conflict Minerals Team is authorized to enlist help from specialists working in various functions throughout PMI whenever necessary.
Members of the team also interact on-site with our direct supplier to obtain relevant information and to further improve the quality of the respective due diligence processes.
Our senior management is periodically informed about the status and effectiveness of our due diligence efforts and issues related to it, if any.
Control System and Supply Chain Transparency
PMI´s system controls and transparency combines internal activities, collaboration with our direct supplier and reliance on information made publicly available by industry programs such as the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”).
We relied on the CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT") that was sent to our direct supplier to collect and retain the necessary information on the chain of custody of the 3TG contained in the Covered Products, including information about the SORs.
The CMRT is generally regarded as the most widely-used standard form to collect information about Conflict Minerals through the supply chain and was developed by several of the world’s leading consumer electronics companies.
Supplier Engagement
Our supply agreements relevant to the Covered Products include Conflict Minerals-related provisions requiring our supplier, among other things: (i) not to supply to us, without our prior consent, products that contain Conflict Minerals; (ii) to participate in industry-wide or material-specific supply chain mapping and certification efforts; and (iii) to provide to us upon request information on the origin of the products supplied to us and other information we might require.
We also engage with our direct supplier through our own employees who periodically visit the supplier's sites to (i) convey to our supplier our expectations related to our "DRC conflict-free" supply chain commitment and our Conflict Minerals policy, (ii) work closely with our supplier to obtain relevant information from its suppliers and raise awareness of the Conflict Minerals regulation in its supply chain, and (iii) foster efforts to improve due diligence processes (as described in Section D below). Our supplier's Conflict Minerals Policy states that it engages with its supply chain partners to help ensure compliance with the standards on Conflict Minerals promulgated by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition by requiring them to comply with its Policy and to undertake reasonable due diligence with their supply chains necessary to assure that 3TG used in the products that they manufacture are "DRC conflict-free."
Grievance Mechanism
We have a grievance mechanism that allows employees to report any suspected compliance violation of PMI´s principles and practices to the senior management or the Compliance Department. Reports can be made through face-to-face discussions or via email if the employee prefers to remain anonymous. We maintain both a dedicated email address: PMI.Compliance@pmi.com, and an independently operated and confidential Compliance Helpline, that operates a phone line and a Webline. Concerns can also be reported confidentially or anonymously via our website.
Maintain Records
We have a records retention policy applicable to Conflict Minerals-related documentation that provides for the retention of relevant records for prescribed periods.
2. Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
We reviewed the answers to the CMRT received from our direct supplier and assessed their completeness, clarity and consistency. We worked with our supplier to understand its due diligence process, confirmed that it had published a conflict minerals policy, and obtained a list of SORs in its supply chain. We required our direct supplier to provide clarifications where needed. To the extent we received responses indicating that 3TG contained in Covered Products may have originated from the Covered Countries and may not be from recycled or scrap sources, we followed up with an additional information request to obtain the necessary details to better assess the reliability of the responses and risks in the supply chain.
3. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks
We designed a strategy to respond to risks. When the Conflict Minerals Team becomes aware that the due diligence of our direct or indirect suppliers needs improvement we will provide them with the appropriate feedback, ask clarifying questions and demand corrective actions where necessary. We will also provide information or training to help build their capacity and will determine appropriate follow-up actions, if any, to mitigate such risks. Follow-up actions may include, but are not limited to, finding alternate sources of supply or terminating existing supplier relationships, as appropriate. We have encouraged our direct supplier to further implement, and require its suppliers to implement, the due diligence standards reflecting the OECD guidance. Further steps to improve the accuracy of the due diligence process are described in Section D below. For the year 2015, we found no instances where it was necessary to find replacement sources of supply or terminate a supplier relationship.
4. Carry Out Independent Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain
We rely on the CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program for the performance of third-party audits of SORs. We validate whether any 3TG sourced from the Covered Countries is "DRC conflict-free" based on the information provided by our direct supplier and on the information available on the CFSI’s website. We encourage our suppliers to support industry organizations' efforts to ensure that smelters’ due diligence sourcing practices are audited by independent third party auditors.
Our direct supplier confirmed that some of the SORs in its supply chain may source 3TG from the Covered Countries and that the 3TG may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, we continued our risk assessment as follows: in order to verify whether these SORs were validated as “conflict-free,” we compared the SORs identified by our direct supplier against the list provided by the CFSI and its Conflict Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) as well as the list provided by the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”). For the ones that were not part of the CFSI list or equivalent audit, we carried out further due diligence measures by using publicly available information to verify whether these SORs sourced 3TG that directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in a Covered Country. For the year 2015, we could not ascertain that any of these SORs sourced 3TG that were not “DRC conflict free”.
5. Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
This Report and our Form SD will be filed with the SEC and are publicly available at http://www.pmi.com/eng/sustainability/Pages/conflict_minerals.aspx.
C. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry ("RCOI") and Due Diligence on the Source and Chain of Custody
We do not directly manufacture Covered Products but contract to manufacture them with our direct supplier that in turn uses several hundred indirect suppliers. As a downstream company, we do not purchase 3TG directly from mines, smelters or refiners. Therefore, we are far removed from both the sources of ores from which the 3TG contained in the Covered Products are produced and the smelters and refiners that process those ores. For these reasons, we believe that the smelters and refiners of the 3TG contained in the Covered Products are best situated to identify the sources of such 3TG. Consequently, we relied to a large extent on our direct supplier to provide information regarding the origin of 3TG contained in the Covered Products through the use of the CMRT, while at the same time engaging with our supplier to strengthen the due diligence efforts as described above.
1. RCOI
We asked our direct supplier to provide answers to the CMRT in order to ascertain whether the 3TG contained in Covered Products originated from Covered Countries. We reviewed the information received and assessed the completeness and consistency of the representation that our direct supplier has made. We required our direct supplier to further examine the responses throughout its supply chain to provide clarifications where needed. We in turn reviewed and followed up on such responses.
After we had received and processed these follow-up responses, we reviewed our RCOI process. We determined that our RCOI process was reasonably designed to obtain information required by Rule 13p-1 and was performed in good faith. We noted, however, the steps needed to improve the process (as further described in Section D below).
Based on the evaluation of our supplier´s responses to the CMRT, we have reasons to believe that some of the 3TG in the Covered Products manufactured in 2015 may have originated in the Covered Countries and were not entirely from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, we conducted further due diligence on the source and chain of custody of 3TG contained in the Covered Products supplied by our direct supplier.
2. Due Diligence on the Source and Chain of Custody
We requested our direct supplier to further inquire as to the origins of 3TG contained in the Covered Products. Through the CMRT, our supplier informed us that: (i) 100% of its suppliers provided adequate responses to the CMRT; (ii) 3TG contained in Covered Products may have originated from the Covered Countries; (iii) 3TG contained in Covered Products are not entirely from recycled or scrap sources; and (iv) 100% of the SROs supplying 3TG contained in Covered Products and their locations were identified and reported.
Our supplier's survey data identified 261 3TG SORs in its supply chain. Of these 261 SORs:
• | 198 (75%) are “DRC conflict-free” according to the CFSP and/or the LBMA lists; |
• | 6 have not yet received a “conflict free” designation but have agreed to participate in the CFSP audit and are actively engaged in such audit; and |
• | With respect to the remaining 57 SORs, we conducted due diligence measures to verify whether during 2015, they sourced 3TG that directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in a Covered Country. We reviewed publicly available information about these SORs, including investigation reports from non-governmental organizations and international organizations that have conducted investigations on individuals and companies, and we have not become aware that these SORs sourced 3TG that directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in a Covered Country. |
We have also asked our direct supplier to take additional steps to identify the country or mine of origin of the 3TG sourced from these SORs. However, even after additional efforts, our direct supplier indicated that it was unable to provide this information. Accordingly, we do not know as of this reporting date: (i) all of the facilities used to process 3TG contained in the Covered Products manufactured and sold in 2015 or (ii) the country of origin for all 3TG in our Covered Products.
Supporting supply chain transparency, we disclose in Appendix B of this Report the list of SORs identified by our direct supplier as part of our supply chain. The SORs are listed within three categories: table A indicates the ones that are CFSI and/or LBMA-compliant; table B indicates the ones that have agreed to participate in the CFSP audit and are actively engaged in that audit process; and table C indicates the SORs that are not CFSI and/or LBMA-compliant and are not engaged in the audit process.
D. Steps to Improve Due Diligence
We expect that more SORs will become validated as “DRC conflict free” through the CFS Program and similar programs, which will increase overall transparency and accessibility to information on geographic location of SOR mines of origin.
In order to mitigate the risk that the 3TG contained in the Covered Products benefit armed groups, and to improve our conflict minerals due diligence measures in the following year, we plan to concentrate on the following steps:
•Encourage our direct supplier to further strengthen due diligence efforts consistent with the OECD guidance, thereby improving the quality and completeness of supply chain information available to us;
•Encourage our direct supplier to continue to enforce its Conflict Minerals policy and share the relevant information of such enforcement efforts with us;
•Continue to communicate our Policy, grievance mechanism, compliance expectations and information requirements to our current direct supplier, any future direct suppliers and down the supply chain to their suppliers. We also encourage such suppliers to continue to implement responsible sourcing consistent with our Policy;
•Continue to engage with our direct supplier to get more SORs validated as conflict-free through the third-party validation mechanisms available, in order to increase the number of SORs on the list of DRC conflict-free SORs;
•Continue to support the development and implementation of independent third party audits of SORs sourcing through our Policy and pursue procurement practices that encourage suppliers to purchase Conflict Minerals from audited SORs;
•Continue our commitment to implement sustainability measures, working with suppliers who themselves commit to respecting our principles and practices, including efforts towards responsible sourcing of our products; and
•We have become a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and are incorporating the Global Compact´s Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption as part of our strategy and day-to-day work.
E. Independent Private Sector Audit
Pursuant to Rule 13p-1, an independent private sector audit is not required for this Report.
Appendix A - Conflict Minerals Policy
Philip Morris International Inc.
Conflict Minerals Policy
The U.S. Congress enacted section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act that addresses the concern that the exploitation and trade of conflict minerals by armed groups is helping to finance conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) region. The DRC region consists of: The Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Burundi, The Central African Republic, The Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires a company to disclose the use of conflict minerals (Gold, Tin, Tungsten and Tantalum) if they are used in products manufactured by that company (Conflict Mineral Rules).
Philip Morris International takes its obligations under SEC and other regulations seriously and is committed to comply with both the letter and spirit of the Conflict Minerals Rules. To the extent possible, Philip Morris International will refrain from, directly or indirectly, knowingly taking or supporting any action which contributes to the financing of armed groups that are committing human rights abuses in the DRC and other covered countries. While not discouraging suppliers from sourcing Gold, Tin, Tungsten and Tantalum originated from the DRC region in order to support the economic activity in the region, Philip Morris International will:
•not knowingly procure Gold, Tin, Tungsten and Tantalum that originates from the DRC region, unless it is certified as “conflict free”; and
•ask its direct suppliers to comply with our Conflict Minerals Policy and to undertake reasonable due diligence with their supply chains to assure that they do not knowingly procure Gold, Tin, Tungsten and Tantalum that originates from the DRC region unless it is “conflict free.”
To help ensure compliance with our Conflict Minerals Policy, we have designated an internal due diligence framework to conform, in all material aspects, to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development´s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals.
