Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
We conducted a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (an “RCOI”) regarding the conflict minerals by utilizing the conflict minerals reporting template (“CMRT”) developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”). We also performed due diligence work on the source and chain of custody of our conflict minerals using the OECD Framework, an internationally recognized due diligence framework. We primarily rely on the conflict-free smelter program designed and managed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) (formerly known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative) to conduct our risk assessment.
Determination
We were unable to determine that all of the conflict minerals contained in our products do not originate from the Covered Countries due to, among other things, the following:
•Many of our suppliers submitted responses that were declared on a company-wide basis (i.e ., representing the smelters and refiners associated with all product offerings of the supplier that contained conflict minerals) and not specific to the materials supplied to the Company. Therefore, in combination with multiple layers in our supply chain, we believe that these declarations might include smelters and refiners that do not provide the conflict minerals that are in our products.
•A number of our suppliers identified smelters/refiners that do not participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) or a similar program and other suppliers failed to identify any smelter/refiner in their responses to
us. Furthermore, we were unable to obtain responses from all of our suppliers and other suppliers provided incomplete or inconsistent data.
As a result, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the country of origin of all of the conflict minerals in our products and, if such conflict minerals did originate in the Covered Countries, whether such conflict minerals were from recycled or scrap sources or were from other conflict free sources. Accordingly, the Company conducted the due diligence measures described below.
Due Diligence
In accordance with Rule 13p-1, the Company performed due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody necessary to determine the presence of conflict minerals in the Company’s products. The Company designed its due diligence measures to conform in all material respects with the OECD Framework and related supplements for each of the conflict minerals.
The Company, as a purchaser, is many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals and does not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals. Identifying the presence and origin of conflict minerals cannot be determined with any certainty once the raw ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other conflict mineral-containing derivatives. Although the smelters and refiners are consolidating points for raw ore and are in the best position in the supply chain to know the origin of the ores, the Company focused its efforts on its suppliers in an effort to build conflict minerals awareness and assess the transparency of its supply chain and make initial identification, where possible, of the smelters/refiners in its supply chain.
The discussion below provides the applicable OECD Framework recommendation (in bold/italics ) followed by a summary of the Company’s activities in line with the OECD Framework.
1. Management Systems.
The Company adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy in 2013. The policy requires suppliers to perform due diligence and outlines the Company’s expectation of suppliers. During 2014, the Company revised and strengthened the policy. During 2020, the Company continued to communicate the policy to suppliers and the public through its website, letters sent to suppliers and customers and telephone calls.
Internal Management Systems.
The Company’s conflict minerals compliance program for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 was managed by a cross-functional team lead by procurement and including representatives from procurement, legal and finance. This team discussed conflict minerals compliance issues and reviewed the status of the diligence process. During 2020, the global procurement team continued to offer self-paced training modules for the Company’s commodities team.
Control System and Supply Chain Transparency
The Company implemented a process to evaluate commodities and suppliers in the supply chain for potential conflict minerals risk and an internal process map for the conflict minerals process that is subject to periodic reviews. Supplier agreement templates require suppliers and licensees to provide information on their use and source of conflict minerals. Given the size and complexity of the Company's global supply chain, the Company focused on its largest suppliers, ranked by the amount the Company spends with each such supplier, and suppliers that had the highest probability of supplying the Company with materials or components containing conflict minerals (the “Targeted Suppliers”). For 2020, this group represented, greater than 82% of the Company's in-scope suppliers by spend. The Company requested supply chain information from Targeted Suppliers utilizing templates developed by the EICC and GeSI. During 2020, the Company distributed the CMRT to Targeted Suppliers, tracked responses and followed up with unresponsive suppliers. The Company maintains records relating to its annual supplier survey.
Supplier Engagement
The Company's standard global terms and conditions include a conflict minerals clause. The Company's standard procurement contracts also contain a conflict minerals clause. In 2020, the Company maintained its preferred supplier program. In order to be designated as a preferred supplier of the Company, a supplier must supply any required conflict minerals information to the Company and comply with other required criteria.
Grievance Mechanism
The Company has an e-mail address for receiving conflict minerals communications internally and an external e-mail mechanism through the Company’s public website. The Company intends to treat grievances as red flags for purposes of the due diligence process.
2. Identify and assess risk in the supply chain.
The Company works with its commodity team and engineering team as appropriate to review the commodities necessary for the manufacture of its products to determine the associated level of risk of containing conflict minerals focusing its due diligence efforts on commodities at the highest risk.
Following the identification of the commodities, the Company requires Targeted Suppliers to complete a survey using the EICC-GeSI template at a company and parts level. The Company reviews survey responses for completeness and compiles aggregate survey responses. The Company follows up with suppliers when responses are incomplete or other questions are raised by the responses. The Company tracks response rates and red flags as part of its conflict minerals reporting process.
3. Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks.
The Company developed a strategy to systematically reduce the extent of exposure to certain risk and the likelihood of its occurrence. Steps taken include communicating a policy to Targeted Suppliers noting that suppliers must thoroughly document their efforts to determine the source of any conflict minerals or derivatives and be prepared to provide the Company with evidence of the origin of any conflict minerals contained in products supplied to the Company. The strategy uses a documented escalation process for suppliers who fail to respond, which may result in termination of the supplier’s relationship with the Company and/or failure to be considered for future projects with the Company.
The Company has created a standard due diligence process, has engaged in a gap analysis regarding its conflict minerals process, and has monitored and tracked responses to its conflict minerals requests as well as its escalation efforts. Senior management is updated as needed. Additional fact finding, risk assessments and evaluations of changes in circumstances take place as part of the Company’s annual review of processes and procedures.
4. Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain. Companies at identified points in the supply chain should have their due diligence practices audited by independent third parties.
In 2014, the Company engaged an independent third party to provide a review of the Company’s conflict minerals compliance program including review of its existing conflict minerals policy and due diligence process. The Company implemented enhancements to the program in 2014 and 2015 as a result of this review. In 2020, the Company continued its membership in the RMI. The Company continued to implement steps using information from the RMI to conduct a review of summary smelter information to determine if the smelter is certified as conflict free or presents a “red flag” as defined by the OECD Guidance as part of its diligence related to 2020 supplier survey responses.
5. Report on supply chain due diligence.
The Company has complied with its SEC filing requirement regarding its conflict minerals program and due diligence by the filing of this report. The Company has made this report available on its external website at https://www.tranetechnologies.com/en/index/company/doing-business-with-us/conflict-minerals.html and has included its conflict minerals policy and other resources at that web address. The Company continues to refine and improve its conflict minerals policy, questionnaire and processes, and to expand awareness regarding its conflict minerals policies.
Results of Due Diligence
After performing the due diligence described above, we are unable to determine that all of the conflict minerals contained in the products described above did not originate from the Covered Countries. For the reasons stated in this report, we also do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the country of origin of all of the conflict minerals in our products described below and, if such conflict minerals did originate in the Covered Countries, whether such conflict minerals were from recycled or scrap sources or were from other conflict free sources.
We have provided this information as of the date of this report. Subsequent events, such as the inability or unwillingness of any suppliers, smelters or refiners to provide us with complete information, may affect our future determinations under the Rule.
Information on Smelters or Refiners
The CMRT requested that the Targeted Suppliers provide the Company with information on the smelters or refiners that the Targeted Suppliers and its suppliers use to supply conflict minerals to the Company. Because the Company does not typically have a direct relationship with the facilities used to process conflict minerals, we must rely on information provided by the Targeted Suppliers. Some responses from the Targeted Suppliers indicated that they were unable to provide smelter or refiner information at this time. Other Targeted Suppliers provided information on all smelters or refiners used by the Targeted Supplier but could not provide information linking specific smelters or refiners used to process conflict minerals with products provided to the Company. Some Targeted Suppliers provided names that the suppliers described as “smelters” but such names could not be linked to smelters on the RMI list, and may not, in fact, be smelters. Based on the information provided by the Targeted Suppliers, the Company has identified 379 smelters from the RMI list, of which 285 have been validated as audited and found conformant with the relevant RMAP standard. These smelters are included in the list attached as Annex 1 to this report.
Steps to Improve Due Diligence
The Company continues to identify opportunities to improve its due diligence and mitigate risk relating to conflict minerals. Below are some of the steps that the Company is considering taking:
•Continuation of supplier engagement;
•Continuation of company membership in RMI;
•Continuation of our supplier engagement and training and encouraging suppliers to use training resources available through industry associations and the RMI; and
•Encouraging supplier and other company membership and participation in RMI.
