Exhibit 1.01
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
This Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for the reporting period of January 1 to December 31, 2015, is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”).
COMPANY BACKGROUND
For more than a century, Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (“HII” or the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) has been designing, building, overhauling and repairing ships primarily for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard. We are the nation’s sole designer, builder and refueler of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, a builder of amphibious assault and expeditionary warfare ships for the U.S. Navy, the sole builder of National Security Cutters for the U.S. Coast Guard, one of only two companies currently designing and building nuclear-powered submarines for the U.S. Navy and one of only two companies that builds the Navy’s current fleet of DDG 51Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. We are the exclusive provider of Refueling and Complex Overhaul services for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, a full-service systems provider for the design, engineering, construction and life cycle support of major programs for surface ships and a provider of fleet support and maintenance services for the U.S. Navy.
We conduct most of our business with the U.S. Government, principally the Department of Defense. As prime contractor, principal subcontractor, team member or partner, we participate in many high-priority U.S. defense technology programs. We also provide a range of services to the energy and oil and gas industries, as well as government customers.
HII procures a large variety of products from many different suppliers. Some of the products HII procures from suppliers contain conflict minerals, which are also referred to as “3TGs” ( “conflict minerals” and “3TGs” are tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, as more specifically described in and covered by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s regulations and guidance). HII is a downstream purchaser and is a number of steps removed in the supply chain from the mining and smelting of 3TGs. As a result, HII relies on its suppliers to represent whether the products they are supplying to HII contain 3TGs.
This CMR relates to HII products that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, and delivered to customers during calendar year 2015 and that contain 3TGs. This CMR was not subjected to an independent private sector audit, which was not required as a result of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “Statement on the Effect of the Recent Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule,” dated April 29, 2014.
CONFLICT MINERALS POLICY
HII has adopted a conflict minerals policy and related procedures focused on HII’s commitment to sourcing components and materials from suppliers that share its ethical values and that support compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s regulations, as well as HII’s disclosure obligations related to conflict minerals. The conflict minerals policy and related procedures have guided HII’s development of internal systems, supply chain due diligence efforts and, ultimately, HII’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”).
Since October 2012, HII’s efforts related to conflict minerals have included: understanding, developing and implementing internal policies, procedures, practices, processes and systems designed to obtain information about 3TGs that may be incorporated into HII’s products and their origin; improving transparency through its product supply chain; and, more generally, providing knowledge to and
1
achieving engagement from its suppliers concerning the requisite conflict minerals issues. Additionally, HII belongs to and participates with several professional organizations that devote time and focus to understanding conflict minerals matters and how to appropriately design, improve and implement processes to better understand and obtain data about the sources of conflict minerals.
REPORTING YEAR ACTIVITY
For products completed and delivered by HII in 2015, which included vessels, vessel components, water and air tight doors, radiological shielding, remote operator panels and electrical distribution panels, HII conducted an RCOI as more specifically described below. The results of the RCOI led HII to conduct due diligence of a limited number of suppliers to two of the Company’s business units. The information provided by those suppliers indicated that some 3TGs contained in certain of their products supplied to HII business units may have originated in a Covered Country (Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola), hereinafter referred to collectively as the “DRC.” As further discussed below, some of these suppliers reported sourcing from smelters that may procure some 3TGs from the DRC, but upon further inquiry HII determined that such smelters have been verified by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) to procure 3TGs only from conflict-free sources that do not support armed conflict in the DRC. Other smelters identified by suppliers are in the process of being audited by CFSI to determine if they obtain 3TGs entirely from conflict-free sources, while information about other smelters and the origin of the 3TGs they provide is unknown.
REASONABLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INQUIRY
In addition to the efforts described above, HII’s RCOI was designed to determine whether the 3TGs in its relevant products originated in the DRC. In part, HII’s RCOI process included:
| • | maintaining a long-term conflict minerals working group comprised of representatives from HII’s operational, compliance, legal and supply chain functions (at both the corporate and business-unit levels), as well as external advisors with conflict minerals subject matter expertise; |
| • | evaluating the Securities and Exchange Commission’s conflict minerals regulations and guidance, adopting policies to support compliance with the regulations, reviewing and updating practices and providing information to suppliers to make them knowledgeable of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s conflict minerals regulations and guidance and, to the extent necessary, developing reasonable interpretations of the regulations and guidance to enable HII to apply the regulations and guidance to its specific operations and industry; |
| • | providing information to HII’s suppliers about, and linked access to, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s conflict minerals regulations and guidance, as well as other supporting publications; |
| • | requiring suppliers, as part of the purchase order process, to represent whether their products contain 3TGs and, if so, further requiring the suppliers to provide any of: a completed HII-issued questionnaire, a completed Global e-Sustainability Initiative Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) or some other form acceptable to us containing information about the type and origin of 3TGs in their products; |
| • | compiling data from supplier surveys and representations; |
| • | communicating with, and seeking information from, any major suppliers that did not timely respond to surveys or provided incomplete surveys; and |
2
| • | conducting periodic reviews with the Company’s conflict minerals working group and supply chain organizations to understand the data and information submitted by suppliers and additional steps that were taken to seek additional information from suppliers. |
DUE DILIGENCE MEASURES
HII has developed due diligence processes that are informed by and track to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas. These due diligence processes include:
Establish Strong Company Management Systems
| • | Publishing and maintaining a conflict minerals policy and related procedures to address HII’s commitment to comply with the Rule. In 2015, the conflict minerals working group engaged in a review and update of our procedures to ensure they reflect our current practices, ensure consistency with the program currently in place and capture best practices. HII’s policy is summarized on our website athttp://www.huntingtoningalls.com/about/ethics/conflictminerals. HII’s policy and procedures include commitments such as: |
| ¡ | To the extent practicable, and consistent with its contractual obligations to its customers, refraining from relationships that could knowingly result in: |
| • | aiding, directly or indirectly, armed groups operating in the DRC through sales of 3TGs; or |
| • | the willful concealment of information related to the transport of 3TGs from the DRC and their use in manufactured products. |
| ¡ | Sourcing components and materials from suppliers that share its ethical values. Our procedures outline the requirements to survey our suppliers and obtain necessary details to support compliance with the Rule. The procedures further identify the functional parties within the Company responsible for supporting the Rule and assessing the presence of any inconsistencies associated with supplier survey responses. |
| • | Obtaining and publishing for appropriate employees a web-based conflict minerals training course. |
| • | Establishing conflict minerals as an element in the 2015 Corporate Annual Compliance Plan, which covers HII’s risk management of conflict minerals. |
| • | Utilizing electronic databases to compile RCOI responses from suppliers. |
| • | Periodically briefing senior management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on the conflict minerals requirements and related company activities. |
| • | Maintaining communications with our supply chain through our business unit supplier websites, which include Frequently Asked Questions from the Aerospace Industries Association (“AIA”), as well as presenting information on conflict minerals disclosure requirements to HII’s significant suppliers at a conference hosted by HII. |
| • | Employing mechanisms for interested persons to voice concerns or grievances, including our pre-existing OpenLine as the tool to capture and track concerns or grievances regarding aspects of the Rule either internally or externally. The OpenLine is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be accessed through either a phone number or website (1-877-631-0020,https://hii-openline.alertline.com/gcs/welcome). |
Identify and Assess Supply Chain Risk
| • | Requiring suppliers as part of the purchase order process to represent whether their products contain 3TGs and, if so, further requiring the suppliers to provide a completed HII-issued questionnaire, a completed CMRT or some other form acceptable to us containing information about the type and origin of 3TGs in their products. |
| • | Including a purchase order clause that requires a supplier to provide HII an updated survey response if the status of any of their product(s) changes prior to final delivery. |
3
| • | Identifying suppliers that directly supply products to HII that may contain 3TGs, and following up with non-responsive suppliers to request submission of CMRTs or similar information by a specified date. |
| • | Conducting a targeted self-assessment to identify items with a higher risk of containing 3TGs if no CMRT had previously been submitted by the supplier. |
| • | Including a purchase order clause that allows HII to either withhold up to 10% of the purchase order price or terminate the purchase order if HII determines that any representation made by the supplier is inaccurate or incomplete in any respect, or if the supplier fails to timely submit the information required by the clause. |
Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Supply Chain Risks
| • | Maintaining membership and participation in the Manufacturer’s Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (“MAPI”), National Association of Manufacturers (“NAM”), AIA and its conflict minerals working group, and CSFI, to both participate in the development, and keep abreast, of industry “best practices” for conflict minerals due diligence efforts. |
| • | Obtaining and reviewing published information about due diligence and the results of audits of smelters and refiners as performed and reported by the CFSI. |
| • | Analyzing supplier responses and evaluating information in a manner designed to provide the Company with a reasonable basis for conclusions disclosed in the 2016 Form SD and this Conflict Minerals Report, including evaluating the raw number of supplier responses and relative dollar value of purchased products represented by such responses, as well as focusing on suppliers relevant to the Reporting Period. |
| • | Supporting information-sharing systems within industry aimed at improving assessment of supplier due diligence in the supply chain of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas, such as comparing smelters or refiners identified by the HII supply chain with CFSI Conflict-Free Sourcing Program (“CFSP”) information. |
| • | Contacting selected smelters or refiners through a formal letter from HII management to encourage participation in the CFSP. |
Carry Out Independent Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain
| • | Due to the downstream nature of our business, HII does not have direct relationships with smelters or refiners and therefore does not perform audits of these entities. HII, however, supports supply chain auditing initiatives through its membership in CFSI, which conducts audits to confirm the conflict-free status of impacted smelters and refiners. |
Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
| • | This Conflict Minerals Report is HII’s public annual report on the due diligence efforts of our supply chain. |
| • | HII posts this report annually athttp://www.huntingtoningalls.com/about/ethics/conflictminerals. |
INFORMATION REGARDING COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
As noted above, in response to HII’s country of origin inquiries, a limited number of HII’s suppliers indicated that, due to a lack of definitive information from their supply chains, certain of their products may contain one or more 3TGs sourced from the DRC. None of those suppliers, however, reported finding any indication that such 3TGs may have been used to finance armed conflict in the DRC. Accordingly, HII believes that the results of its RCOI indicated that it was appropriate to conduct due diligence measures to obtain additional information, as described below.
4
HII engaged with each supplier that suggested possible sourcing of 3TGs from the DRC to obtain further supporting documentation for their statements. These suppliers responded with either (i) conflict minerals disclosure on a company-wide basis in which they were unable to verify whether the specific products sold to HII contained 3TGs sourced from the DRC, or (ii) additional information that indicated the names and locations of known smelters from which their 3TGs may have originated, but without additional information to verify whether the 3TGs in their products sold to HII originated from the DRC, or an indication that their RCOI was ongoing and not yet complete. Appendix A lists the smelters named by those suppliers, but the inclusion of a smelter in Appendix A does not indicate that HII products necessarily contain 3TGs processed by that smelter. Comparing the list of those smelters named in Appendix A to the Compliant Smelter Detailed Sourcing Information published by CFSI, as well as other publicly-available information, indicated the following:
| • | 214 of the listed smelters had been audited as part of the CFSI initiative and were determined to source their 3TGs only from either countries other than those in and adjoining the DRC, or from conflict-free sources; |
| • | 34 of the listed smelters are in the process of arranging for or are being audited to determine if they source their 3TGs only from either countries other than the DRC and adjoining countries or otherwise from conflict-free sources; and |
| • | 60 of the listed smelters do not appear on the CFSI list as being in the process of arranging for an audit to determine the source of their 3TGs. HII has insufficient information from or about these smelters to understand their sources for 3TGs. |
As described in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, the internationally recognized standard on which the Company’s processes are based, we support an industry initiative that audits smelters’ and refiners’ due diligence activities. That industry initiative is the CFSI. The data on which we relied for certain statements in this report was obtained through our membership in the CFSI, using the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry report for CFSI member HUNT.
ONGOING EFFORTS
HII is continuing its ongoing efforts to:
| • | Determine which supplier-provided products contain 3TGs; |
| • | Obtain additional information from direct suppliers, as well as others in or with knowledge of the supply chain, as to whether their products contain 3TGs and, if so, the origin of those 3TGs, as additional conflict minerals and smelter information becomes available to the supply chain; |
| • | Communicate knowledge and our expectations to suppliers about the type and level of detailed information needed by HII to understand the origin and source of 3TGs; |
| • | Remain actively involved in and participate with industry and other groups, including MAPI, AIA, NAM and the CFSI, to ascertain best and leading practices and to obtain and share information that may assist in determining whether purchased products contain 3TGs and, if so, the origin of those 3TGs and whether the 3TGs were sourced from conflict-free sources; |
| • | Support industry efforts to expand participation of smelters and refiners in conflict-free certification programs; and |
5
| • | Provide resources and information to non-issuer suppliers about the Securities and Exchange Commission’s conflict minerals reporting requirements, as well as information about the CFSI and other informative measures designed to educate about the importance of conflict-free sourcing. |
