Vertiv Holdings Co
Conflict Minerals Report
For the Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2020
This Conflict Minerals Report contains “forward-looking statements” that are based on our current expectations and assumptions. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Forward-looking statements include any statements that are not historical and includes the statements made under the heading “Risk Mitigation.” All forward-looking statements made in this Conflict Minerals Report are based on information available to Vertiv Holdings Co (“Vertiv,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) as of the date of this report. Vertiv undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from Vertiv’s historical experience and its present expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the continued implementation by Vertiv and our direct and indirect suppliers of satisfactory traceability and other compliance measures on a timely basis, or at all.
Vertiv has prepared this Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2020 consistent with the requirements of Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to conflict minerals (the “Rule”). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on Securities and Exchange Commission registrants whose manufactured products or products contracted to be manufactured contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. The term “conflict minerals” is defined in the Rule as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), wolframite, and their derivatives, tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“conflict minerals” or “3TG”); or any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) or any adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the DRC (the “Covered Countries”).
1.Company Overview
Vertiv is a global leader in the design, manufacturing and servicing of critical digital infrastructure technology that powers, cools, deploys, secures and maintains electronics that process, store and transmit data. We provide this technology to data centers, communication networks and commercial and industrial environments worldwide.
Vertiv is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio and has regional offices located in the United Kingdom, Italy, China, India and the Philippines. We have approximately 20,000 employees and sell products to customers worldwide. Our supply chain includes more than 10,000 vendor partners in 115 countries providing Vertiv with manufactured components, raw materials, software, professional services, logistics support and subcontracted services.
Vertiv’s supply chain is multi-tiered and we are typically many levels removed from mines, smelters and refiners. We do not purchase any 3TG directly from mines, smelters or refiners. Some of Vertiv’s products may contain 3TG either from recycled sources or in their processed form. We rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the existence of, and the origin of, any 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us, including the sources of any 3TG supplied to such direct suppliers from their lower-tier suppliers. Direct suppliers to Vertiv similarly rely on information provided by their suppliers.
Vertiv is committed to complying with the Rule and upholding responsible sourcing practices. As such, Vertiv has published a Conflict Minerals Statement and built a complex due diligence program to ensure responsible sourcing practices in its supply chain. Vertiv’s Conflict Minerals Statement is available at the following link: https://www.vertiv.com/en-asia/support/conflict-minerals-statement/
Vertiv has actively engaged with its customers, suppliers and other stakeholders on the use of conflict minerals and responsible sourcing since the Rule was enacted. Vertiv requires that all materials used in its products be preferably sourced from conflict-free smelters or refiners. Further, Vertiv is a member company of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and requires its suppliers to work with their supply chain to cease sourcing from smelters or refiners that are designated as non-conformant per the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Program or are otherwise identified as high-risk.
2.Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Vertiv determined that 3TG were necessary to the functionality and production of some of our products manufactured during the 2020 calendar year. Vertiv products that contain 3TG include Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), DC Power Systems, and Thermal Management Products. Accordingly, we conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry in good faith to determine whether the 3TG may have originated in the DRC or Covered Countries.
To assist with our country of origin inquiry, Vertiv retained Assent Compliance, a third-party service provider, to assist Vertiv with reviewing its supply chain and identifying risks. Vertiv provided to Assent Compliance a list of suppliers whose products possibly contain 3TG and Assent Compliance conducted a survey of such suppliers using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) version 6.1, maintained by the Responsible Minerals Initiative. For the reporting period covered by this report, the suppliers surveyed represented approximately 91% of our total direct materials expenditures for 2020.
Assent Compliance contacted the suppliers and requested that they complete the CMRT via its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, which facilitates communications and allows suppliers to upload completed CMRTs directly to the platform for validation, assessment and management. Assent Compliance assessed the quality of each supplier response and assigned a health score based on the supplier’s declaration. Vertiv and/or Assent Compliance contacted suppliers with potentially invalid or incomplete CMRTs and encouraged them to submit or resubmit a valid response, providing guidance on how to correct errors via feedback to the CMRT submission, training courses, and direct engagement by Assent Compliance’s multilingual Supplier Experience team. Assent Compliance monitored and tracked all supplier responses and communications for reporting and transparency.
Based on data collected through May 17, 2021, 61% of the surveyed suppliers, representing 70% of our total direct material expenditures in 2020, submitted a CMRT.
3.Due Diligence
Vertiv designed its due diligence measures to conform, in all material respects, to the framework in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, and the related supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”). Due diligence requires Vertiv to rely on data provided by direct suppliers and third-party audit programs. There is therefore a risk of incomplete or inaccurate data as the entire process is not, and cannot, be fully managed by
Vertiv. However, through continued outreach and process validation, Vertiv’s due diligence process aligns with industry standards and market expectations for downstream companies’ due diligence.
Vertiv integrated the five steps recommended by the OECD Guidance as follows:
a.Establishment of Company Management Systems
Vertiv established a cross-functional team to implement and manage our conflict minerals compliance program. The team, led by our global procurement organization, includes representatives from our product development, supply chain, legal, and Environmental, Health and Safety departments. The team is responsible for implementing conflict minerals compliance strategies and briefing senior management about the results of our due diligence measures.
In addition, Vertiv has implemented the following:
i.As noted above, Vertiv adopted and published on its public website a Conflict Minerals Statement that articulates Vertiv’s support for efforts to end the human suffering and environmental impact that have been associated with mining in the DRC and Covered Countries.
ii.Vertiv’s contracts with direct suppliers require the suppliers to trace and disclose information about the country of origin of minerals used in goods supplied to Vertiv.
iii.Vertiv actively enforces its Code of Ethics and Supplier Code of Conduct, which outline expected behaviors for our employees, officers, directors and suppliers. All suppliers are expected to act in accordance with such documents and comply with product-related requirements, including conflict minerals reporting. Vertiv’s Code of Ethics and Supplier Code of Conduct are available on our website at: https://www.vertiv.com/en-us/about/ethics--compliance/
iv.Vertiv established a helpline that allows employees and suppliers to report any suspected violations or concerns, including any suspected violation or concern regarding our conflict minerals program, Code of Ethics or Supplier Code of Conduct.
v.Vertiv engaged Assent Compliance to assist with evaluating supply chain information regarding 3TG, identifying potential risks, and developing additional due diligence steps that Vertiv may undertake with suppliers. Assent Compliance’s dedicated program specialists support Vertiv’s conflict minerals program and provide frequent updates to Vertiv. Each member of Assent Compliance’s Customer Success team is trained in conflict minerals compliance and understands the intricacies of the CMRT and conflict minerals reporting, as well as Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
vi.Vertiv, in cooperation with Assent Compliance, organized a training webinar where all suppliers in scope for Vertiv’s conflict minerals program were invited and trained on the OECD Due Diligence and 5 Step Framework principles, Vertiv’s conflict minerals policy and responsible sourcing requirements, and supplier obligations under Vertiv’s conflict minerals program.
vii.Non-English-speaking suppliers are included in Vertiv initiatives and have access to multilingual help desk support and other resources via Assent Compliance. This
permits all suppliers worldwide to access Vertiv’s platform for CMRT uploads and correspondence.
viii.In response to specific customer requests, Vertiv engaged directly with specific suppliers to obtain valid conflict-free CMRT reports and documentation.
b.Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain
As stated above, Vertiv is a member of RMI and has adopted the RMI’s approach to identifying and assessing risks in its supply chain. In applying this approach, we conducted due diligence to trace the origin of 3TG provided to us by identifying in our supply chain smelters, refiners or recyclers and scrap supplier sources.
Vertiv, through Assent Compliance, verified the information provided by our suppliers for completeness and consistency of responses. Where we identified inaccuracies, we required the suppliers to correct the errors and submit an updated CMRT or to provide additional information.
Assent Compliance confirmed the validation status of the smelters and refiners reported by our suppliers by determining if such entities had been audited against a standard in conformance with the OECD Guidance, such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP). Smelters and refiners that have completed an RMAP audit are considered DRC-conflict free. Assent Compliance followed up with suppliers reporting smelters or refiners that have not been audited against the RMAP standard or that are considered non-conformant by RMAP.
Each facility that meets the definition of a smelter or refiner of a 3TG was assessed according to red flag indicators defined in the OECD Guidance. Assent Compliance used several factors to measure sourcing risk, including:
•Geographic proximity to the DRC and Covered Countries
•Known mineral source country of origin
•RMAP audit status
•Credible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing
•Peer assessments conducted by credible third-party sources
In response to specific customer requests, Vertiv initiated risk mitigation efforts where a supplier’s CMRT reported facilities of concern, including instructing the supplier to undertake its own independent risk mitigation actions and asking the supplier to submit a product-specific CMRT to Vertiv identifying the connection, if any, between the facilities of concern and 3TG supplied to Vertiv. Vertiv provided suppliers with clear performance objectives within reasonable timeframes with the ultimate goal of progressively eliminating facilities of concern from Vertiv’s supply chain.
For the suppliers that provided country of origin information for 3TG, we confirmed the listed countries of origin for each smelter and refinery if the information was available from RMI. Some suppliers identified missing information from their supply chains and therefore could not provide a complete list of their upstream smelters and refiners.
i.Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
Vertiv’s strategy to respond to identified risks is to enforce our Supplier Code of Conduct and Purchase Order Terms and Conditions. Both documents communicate to our suppliers our expectations and requirements relating to the use and sourcing of 3TG. Specifically, Vertiv’s Terms and Conditions of
Purchase require our suppliers to trace and declare the country of origin of minerals used in all materials and to promptly provide Vertiv with relevant CMRT reports upon request.
Suppliers that are either non-responsive or provide incomplete or inconsistent responses to Vertiv’s solicitations for information are escalated within Vertiv’s procurement organization for follow-up and receive email communications reminding them of Vertiv’s expectations relating to the use and sourcing of 3TG.
The Global Procurement Compliance team regularly reports to Vertiv’s procurement leadership and Chief Compliance Officer on its efforts to collect CMRTs, the conflict-free status of suppliers, and the findings of the supply chain risk assessment.
ii.Independent Third-Party Audits of Supply Chain Due Diligence
As a downstream company, Vertiv does not have a direct relationship with smelters or refiners and we do not perform or direct audits of smelters or refiners. Vertiv relies on third-party audits of smelters and refiners conducted as a part of the RMAP and results of such audits made available by RMI. Assent Compliance followed up with suppliers reporting smelters or refiners that are considered non-conformant by RMAP and smelters and refiners that have not been audited against the RMAP standard to encourage their participation and gather information regarding each facilities’ sourcing practices.
e.Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
Vertiv reports annually on its conflict minerals due diligence program in this Conflict Minerals Report, which is filed annually with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
4.Results of Our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence
For the reporting period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, Vertiv solicited 1,903 in-scope suppliers to gather detailed information regarding the existence of 3TG in components and materials sold to us, as well as the origin and chain of custody of such 3TG. Based on the information provided by our suppliers and our own due diligence efforts through May 17, 2021, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin or chain of custody of all 3TG in our products. We have provided in Annex A to this Report a list of smelters and refiners that may have been used to process 3TGs in Vertiv’s supply chain and in Annex B a list of countries of origin of these 3TGs, based on information provided through the CMRT data collection process, from direct smelter outreach and the RMAP.
The tables below summarize the quantity of smelters and refiners and source of 3TG reported in the CMRTs submitted by Vertiv´s suppliers who responded to our Conflict Minerals campaign for reporting year 2020:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Conflict Mineral | RMAP Conformant | RMAP Active | Non-enrolled | Non-Conformant | Total |
| Tin | 54 | 12 | 9 | 4 | 79 |
| Tantalum | 37 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 38 |
| Tungsten | 38 | 5 | 3 | 0 | 46 |
| Gold | 108 | 6 | 54 | 4 | 172 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Source of 3TG | RMAP Conformant | RMAP Active | Non-enrolled | Non-Conformant | Total |
| 3TG sourced from DRC or adjoining country | 25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 25 |
| 3TG not sourced from DRC or adjoining country | 112 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 112 |
| Unknown | 100 | 24 | 66 | 8 | 198 |
5.Risk Mitigation
Vertiv intends to continue evaluating its Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and due diligence processes in accordance with the provisions of the Rule to mitigate the risk that 3TGs necessary to our products benefit armed groups. In particular, we intend to:
i.Engage with suppliers to improve the quantity and quality of information received during our due diligence processes;
ii.Contact suppliers that submitted potentially unreliable or unacceptable responses;
iii.Review the criteria used to select suppliers to direct our efforts at the most relevant subset of our supply base;
iv.Request suppliers to source 3TG only from smelters and refiners that are Conformant or Active in the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process;
v.Expand our involvement in the RMI and participation in its initiatives; and
vi.Continue engagement with suppliers, providing information about the importance of conflict-free sourcing for Vertiv and directing suppliers to information and training resources regarding responsible sourcing of 3TGs.
ANNEX A
Table 1 below lists smelters and refiners from Vertiv’s 3TG country of origin inquiry. Please note that some of the listed smelters and refiners may not actually provide 3TG to be used in Vertiv products because the smelters and refiners may have declared 3TG only as part of a company-level CMRT submission, rather than a CMRT specific to the products supplied to Vertiv. However, Vertiv is listing these smelters and refiners in the interest of presenting a complete list.

ANNEX B
Table 2 below is an aggregate list of countries of origin from which the reported facilities collectively source 3TGs, based on information provided through the CMRT data collection process, direct smelter and refinery outreach, and the RMAP. As stated above, some smelters and refiners may have been declared as part of a company-level CMRT submission, rather than a CMRT specific to the products supplied to Vertiv. Therefore, Table 2 may list more countries than those which are the actual sources of 3TG for Vertiv products.
