Exhibit 1.01
Arcimoto Conflict Minerals Report
2020
Arcimoto, Inc. (‘Arcimoto’) presents this Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended 31 December 2020 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (the ‘Rule’) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘Exchange Act’).
The Rule applies to companies required to file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC’) under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if any of the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the product (‘in-scope products’).
As defined by the content requirements of SEC Form SD, ‘conflict minerals’ include columbite-tantalite (‘coltan’), cassiterite, wolframite and/or gold or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (each a ‘3TG metal’). Please refer to the requirements of SEC Form SD for definitions of many of the terms used in this report, including ‘Covered Countries’ (Democratic Republic of Congo (‘DRC’) or an adjoining country).
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Arcimoto, Inc. is a start-up electric vehicle company based in Eugene, Oregon with a mission to catalyze the shift to a sustainable transportation system. We believe this shift will happen only when we move away from oversized, overpriced, polluting vehicles to right-sized, ultra-efficient electric vehicles that everyone can afford. Arcimoto develops and manufactures electric vehicles having approximately one-third the weight and one-third the footprint of the average car. The Arcimoto platform’s purpose is to bring the joy of ultra-efficient, pure electric driving to the masses.
Consistent with this mission, Arcimoto is committed to an ethical, sustainable, and responsible supply-chain for the parts and materials in its vehicles. Arcimoto is proud to present its Conflict Minerals Report for the 2020 fiscal year. Of note, Arcimoto’s production operations were suspended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic for a portion of 2020. The Company restarted limited production and resumed deliveries to customers in the third quarter. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Arcimoto produced 117 model year 2020 vehicles, and delivered 97 vehicles to customers.
APPLICABILITY
Our products contain numerous components that may contain one or more 3TG metals. For example, tin is often used as a soldering material for electronic components, gold and tantalum are typically used in electronic components such as connectors or capacitors, and tungsten is added to increase the strength of gear teeth, bearings, and cages.
We conducted reasonable due diligence regarding the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in our products. Based on our efforts, we have reason to believe that some of the conflict minerals present in our supply chain may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or adjoining countries (collectively the “Covered Countries”). We are unable to determine with assurance the origin of all conflict minerals in our products at this time. For these reasons, we are required under the Rule to submit this Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) as an exhibit to Arcimoto’s Form SD.
REASONABLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INQUIRY
In accordance with the Rule, we carried out a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (‘RCOI’) and due diligence process to determine the origin of the 3TG metals used in our in-scope products.
The smelters and refiners (‘Smelters’) that produce 3TG metals and the mines from which the minerals are originally sourced are many steps away from Arcimoto in the supply chain. Therefore, we rely on our suppliers to provide information to support our due diligence efforts. In undertaking our RCOI, we conducted a targeted survey of our strategic direct material suppliers, utilizing the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) version 6.01. We reviewed the collected CMRTs to identify suppliers’ respective risk levels, determine country of origin and/or sourcing from recycled or scrap sources, and determine if due diligence is required.
As a start-up company that does not yet need material in large volumes that warrant or necessitate supplier relationships with larger, sophisticated OEM suppliers, we often work with small and specialty suppliers, many of whom were not aware of conflict minerals requirements before our RCOI. As this is Arcimoto’s first filing and the first time many of our suppliers had heard of conflict minerals or reporting requirements, information provided by many of our direct suppliers is incomplete and many of our suppliers were unable to confirm the country-of-origin information for 3TG metals in their products.
RCOI conclusion
Based on data collected from our suppliers for the year ended 31 December 2020, we have reason to believe that some 3TG metals contained in our products may originate from Covered Countries. As such, we have conducted due diligence as described below.
RESPONSIBLE MINERAL SOURCING
3TG metals come from many different Smelters in a complex and often opaque supply chain. Minerals are extracted from mines. Smelters then procure those minerals and process them into useable metals. These metals are then incorporated into components that go into the electric vehicles we produce.
We conduct due diligence to support our commitment to deliver sustainable transportation. To deliver sustainable transportation to our customers, we strive to source the materials that are used in our vehicles responsibly and to comply with all relevant disclosure regulations. Our objective is to ensure that none of the products or components we buy contain 3TG metals that have helped to fund conflict or have serious human rights abuses as defined in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (‘OECD’) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Third Edition) (‘OECD Due Diligence Guidance’).
Our process has been designed to comply with the Rule and interpretive guidance and to conform with the internationally recognized framework set out in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.
DUE DILIGENCE DESIGN
Our due diligence process follows the five-step framework set out in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. As we are just now ramping up our company’s manufacturing process, we are also at the beginning stages of designing, implementing, and improving our due diligence process.
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
For Reporting Year 2020, Arcimoto has initiated the following company management systems concerning conflict minerals:
| ● | Conflict Minerals Policy. Arcimoto has developed a policy related to the sourcing of Conflict Minerals, and we expect that the Board will adopt the policy very soon. Upon adoption, the policy will be posted at https://www.arcimoto.com/corporate-governance. |
2
| ● | Internal Team. Arcimoto has established a team of subject matter experts that are responsible for implementing our responsible minerals program. Management oversight will include representatives from operations, supply chain, legal, and finance. |
| ● | Control Systems. Arcimoto is implementing a process into our quality systems responsible for assessing components and products for 3TG. |
| ● | Supplier Engagement. As we ramp up production, Arcimoto is changing the way in which we source components. Due to the relatively small quantities of parts we have purchased to date, we have been required to source components through the “Aftermarket Divisions” of our suppliers, which typically do not fall under conflict mineral reporting requirements, and therefore, have little familiarity with them. As we increase production, we will be able to purchase parts and materials through the “OEM Divisions” of our suppliers, which are more accustom to conflict mineral issues and reporting requirements. We will strive to enter into OEM agreements only with suppliers that commit to responsible sourcing and contractually agree to provide Arcimoto with an updated CMRT each year. |
| ● | Grievance Mechanism. Arcimoto is establishing a dedicated email address, conflictminerals@arcimoto.com, to receive supplier requests, communications, feedback, and questions. Grievances are anonymous and no employee raising issues will be subject to retribution for doing so. |
| ● | Maintain Records. Arcimoto uses our cloud storage system to retain relevant documents. All conflict minerals supplier responses and forms are uploaded into these information systems for easy reference. These records will be kept in accordance with our document retention policies for at least 5 years. |
Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
For direct suppliers indicating that they provide materials with tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold, we initiate our RCOI process which includes: a request for a completed CMRT; follow-up and escalation for non-responsive suppliers; review of the CMRTs we receive; and determination if further actions are needed based on the supplier’s response. We conduct an iterative verification process on each supplier’s CMRT that we receive to uncover inconsistencies or risk in the supplier’s response.
We also actively worked with our suppliers to identify other entities in our supply chain that are further upstream than our direct suppliers. For reporting year 2020, we conducted this survey process with 28 of our direct material suppliers. We rely on these suppliers to provide us with information about the source of conflict minerals contained in the components supplied to us. Of note, our suppliers are reliant upon information provided to them by their suppliers, just as we are reliant on our suppliers.
We work together with a specialist consultancy service provider, Responsible Trade LLC, to assist in tracking data, assessing risks, and preparing our reporting.
We have established a process to identify in-scope suppliers (as outlined in the Applicability section above).
Our direct suppliers are expected to extend a similar identification process to their own suppliers and cascade them down the supply chain until the origin of 3TG metals contained in the products supplied to us (either directly or indirectly) can be identified.
To the extent possible, we require our identified in-scope suppliers to report on their progress through the RMI CMRT, which we will ask them to complete on an annual basis. The CMRT is designed to identify the Smelters from which any 3TG metals are sourced for each in-scope product we procure from them.
We engage with in-scope suppliers to raise awareness of our processes and requirements and will help them understand how to meet the requirements of the Conflict Mineral contract clauses that we will begin to incorporate into supplier contracts. We also share best-practice advice on how to complete the CMRT. In addition, we provide a dedicated point of contact at Arcimoto to respond to suppliers’ questions regarding Conflict Minerals reporting.
3
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Our strategy to respond to identified risks includes a range of measures that form part of our due diligence process.
We review supplier responses to the CMRT and follow up with suppliers to request clarification or more complete responses where necessary. If risks are identified, we engage with suppliers and request their commitment to corrective actions to manage these risks, including a commitment to improve data quality.
We have established a communication and escalation process to notify and engage, if required, our senior materials management where any potentially significant risks are identified.
When our in-scope suppliers identify Smelters within our supply chain that are RMAP (Responsible Minerals Assurance Process) Non-Conformant, we will ask them to encourage these Smelters to participate in the RMAP process. If our suppliers will not do so, we will begin considering alternate sourcing arrangements.
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audits of Smelter due diligence practices
We do not have direct relationships with Smelters with respect to 3TG. We do not directly purchase raw minerals, ores, or 3TG metals. We are many steps removed from the mines and Smelters that supply the minerals, ores, and 3TG metals contained in our products.
We do not perform or direct Smelter audits of companies within our supply chain, but like many other companies, rely upon the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) RMAP for meeting Step 4. Please see Annex 1 for a list of Smelters, their conformance status and Country-of-Origin information.
Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
In accordance with the Rule and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, this report is publicly available on our website.
DUE DILIGENCE RESULTS
2020 was the first year that we surveyed our suppliers regarding their source and custody of 3TGs. Therefore, we focused our due diligence efforts on our 3TG suppliers we determined provide the most strategic components, specifically the Motor, Braking System, and Steering Assembly.
These suppliers did not provide product level responses to the RCOI, but rather reported in aggregate by company. As such we do not know how many of the Smelters reported by these suppliers relate specifically to our supply chain. As we do not directly purchase raw minerals, ores, or 3TG metals, we rely on our direct suppliers to gather information about Smelters in our supply chain.
These suppliers have reported to us more than 96% of the Smelters in the world (as recognized by the RMI). We do not believe that all of these facilities are contributing to the production of Arcimoto vehicles. The potential over-reporting of Smelters is a function of our products containing components several steps removed from the 3TG processing facilities and of intermediate suppliers failing to provide customer- or product-specific CMRTs to our direct suppliers.
4
Efforts to Determine Mine or Location of Origin
We requested that our suppliers complete the CMRT, which includes the completion of all necessary Smelter identification information. This information will enable the validation of these Smelters as well as the tracing of the 3TGs to their location of origin. We have determined that seeking this information regarding Smelters in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TG in our supply chain.
Responses from our suppliers confirmed that there remain significant challenges in finding information about the country of origin of 3TG metals and the Smelters from which 3TG metals were sourced, as this information is often unavailable, incomplete, or potentially erroneous. We will continue engaging with suppliers to improve the completeness and quality of information they provide to us.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS TO MITIGATE RISK
We are taking a range of steps to enhance the due diligence process and further mitigate any risk that Conflict Minerals used in the company’s products may benefit armed groups.
We are in the process of implementing legal and contractual mechanisms to obligate our suppliers to comply with relevant regulations.
Arcimoto aims to ensure minerals used in our supply chain do not fund conflict or contribute to gross human rights abuses. At the same time, Arcimoto desires to continue supporting local economies in Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, including the Covered Countries, by allowing the use of materials those areas that have been processed by Smelters verified by third-party assurance programs, such as the RMI RMAP.
Arcimoto will continue to improve our conflict minerals program by:
| ● | Including Conflict Minerals clauses in supplier contracts and requiring suppliers to conduct due diligence to identify the origin of 3TG metals in the components or products they sell to us and to ensure that the minerals or elements are not from a source which directly or indirectly finances or benefits armed groups. |
| ● | Encouraging suppliers to put a Conflict Minerals policy in place and report their source and custody of conflict minerals or improve their existing Responsible Minerals program. |
| ● | Improving the completeness and quality of information we ask of them, particularly in relation to the identification of Smelters and the country of origin of 3TG metals and in providing CMRT information on Smelters at product level. |
| ● | Seeking our suppliers’ commitment to implement further improvements in relation to due diligence processes, including asking them to reach out to RMAP Non-conformant Smelters identified as being within our supply chain to either encourage them to undergo a RMAP audit or remove them from the supply chain. |
