Hayward Holdings, Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For the Year Ended December 31, 2023
1.Introduction
Hayward Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Hayward,” “we,” “us” or “our”) has filed this Conflict Minerals Report as an exhibit to its Form SD as required by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (the “Conflict Minerals Rule”).
The Conflict Minerals Rule imposes reporting obligations on public companies, including Hayward, whose manufactured final products contain one or more “conflict minerals” that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. For purposes of the Conflict Minerals Rule and the related disclosures, the term “conflict minerals” is defined to include cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold.
Hayward uses conflict minerals in some of our products and is therefore required to perform a reasonable country of origin inquiry into the sources of necessary conflict minerals in our products and disclose the results of such diligence. The design of our due diligence, survey of our suppliers and related results for the reporting period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”) are described below.
2.Company Overview
Hayward is an industry-leading global designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad portfolio of pool and outdoor living systems. We offer a wide range of pool equipment, including single and high efficiency variable speed pumps, filters, robotic, suction and pressure cleaners, high efficiency gas heaters and heat pumps, LED illumination solutions, water features and landscape lighting, water sanitizers, salt chlorine generators, safety equipment and in-floor automated cleaning systems.
We maintain longstanding relationships with approximately 700 suppliers. We mainly purchase assembled components such as motors, metal parts, cables and extrusions from our suppliers. We also purchase raw materials, such as resins (ABS, PP, HDPE, PVC), metals (copper, steel, aluminum, titanium, ruthenium) and liner board (packaging).
For additional information about our business, including our business segments, products and services, customers, suppliers, and sales channels, refer to Hayward’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
3.Conflict Minerals Compliance Process
A.Compliance Framework Overview
Hayward utilized the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas Third Edition to frame our conflict minerals compliance process.
B. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
After a review of our business, Hayward determined that conflict minerals may be contained in certain of our products manufactured or contracted for manufacture during the Reporting Period. Because of this determination, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding those minerals, which was designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals in our products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or any adjoining country (each adjoining country or the DRC, a “Covered Country”).
We identified certain suppliers that potentially supplied us with products that had the potential to contain conflict minerals and asked those suppliers to complete the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), the industry standard reporting tool created by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”). Based on the responses received, we determined that certain of our products contained conflict minerals that may have originated in a Covered Country. Accordingly, we performed the following due diligence to determine the source of these necessary conflict minerals.
C. Due Diligence Performed
Hayward performed the due diligence measures presented below, which align with the five-step framework established by the OECD.
i. Establish Strong Company Management Systems
Hayward has taken steps to develop strong company management systems pertaining to the use of conflict minerals in our products and supply chain. We adopted a policy related to our sourcing of conflict minerals, which is available to the public on our Investor Relations website, at https://investor.hayward.com/resources/ESG-Policies/default.aspx. Additionally, we developed a cross-functional team to set Hayward’s conflict minerals strategy, enable timely implementation, and execute the due diligence program, which we refer to as our “conflict minerals team.” Our supply chain department has primary responsibility for program execution, with support by the financial reporting and legal departments. Senior management was briefed regularly about our due diligence efforts and findings along with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
We also partnered with a team of dedicated program specialists through our third-party service provider, Source Intelligence. Due to its position in the supply chain, Hayward does not have a direct relationship with conflict mineral smelters and refiners. We rely on the information provided by our suppliers, as part of the reasonable country of origin process conducted by Source Intelligence and our conflict minerals team to understand the sourcing and use of conflict minerals in our products.
ii. Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain
Hayward is a downstream user of conflict minerals, so, in general there are many third-parties between the mines or locations where the conflict minerals originate and the manufacturers that provide us with components used in our products. Hayward identified 251 suppliers as in-scope for conflict mineral regulatory purposes. In partnership with Source Intelligence, these suppliers were contacted as part of the reasonable country of origin process. Additional solicitation requests, including in languages other than English for our international partners, were sent to suppliers that did not respond or provide sufficient information. These suppliers were also escalated with the supply chain management team.
Hayward’s conflict mineral due diligence inquiry ended with a response rate of 74%, with 185 suppliers responding with a CMRT version 6.22.
Supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency and gaps. Source Intelligence maintains a smelter and refiner database that contains known metal processors, known exclusive recyclers, the mine country of origin and conflict-free certification status. Source Intelligence collected and reviewed the data submitted by suppliers via CMRTs and compared it against its existing database. Supplier responses listing entities that were not verified smelters and refiners were flagged and suppliers were asked for further clarification. Smelters and refiners were each assigned a risk level based on whether (1) it has an indication of sourcing from a Covered Country or (2) it is physically located within the DRC.
iii. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
Our conflict minerals team identified suppliers who used high risk smelters and refiners. As part of the Company’s risk management plan, and to communicate the Company’s expectations with its suppliers, Hayward asked the following of these suppliers:
•What steps have you taken to ensure the proceeds are not funding violence?
•Have you requested the smelter become certified conflict-free?
•Are you attempting to remove this smelter from your suppliers?
•Would you be able to complete a part-level CMRT, confirming these smelters are not used in creating the parts and products we purchase if we provided you with a list of part numbers?
The responses from these suppliers are being reviewed.
iv. Independent Third-Party Audit
Consistent with Rule 13p-1 and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) April 29, 2014 statement1 relating to Rule 13p-1, this Report is not required to be accompanied by an independent private sector audit.
v. Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence
This Conflict Minerals Report constitutes our annual report on our conflict mineral supply chain due diligence and is available on our website at https://www.investor.hayward.com/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx, and is filed with the SEC.
4.Results of Review
Hayward identified 251 suppliers as in-scope for conflict mineral regulatory purposes. These suppliers were initially contacted by Source Intelligence as part of the reasonable country of origin inquiry process. The response rate was 74%, with 185 suppliers responding with a CMRT version of 6.22 or higher.
Of the responding 185 suppliers, 91 suppliers (49%) indicated one or more conflict minerals as necessary to the functionality or production of the products they may potentially supply to Hayward.
Based on the available data from Source Intelligence, those 91 suppliers sourced at least one of the conflict minerals from at least one of 342 verified smelters and refiners for the calendar year ending December 31, 2023. Of these 342 verified smelters and refiners, 49 smelters and refiners have an indication of sourcing from a Covered Country. Of these 49 smelters and refiners, five smelters, located outside of the DRC were identified as high risk as they are not certified conflict-free by RMI. Additionally, five smelters and refiners were physically located within the DRC, of which two smelters are identified as high risk as they are not certified conflict-free by RMI.
Attached as Annex I to this Conflict Minerals Report is a list of all the smelters and refiners identified by our suppliers in their completed CMRT forms that appear on the list of smelters maintained by RMI. Based on the information provided by the Company’s suppliers, smelters and refiners, as well as from RMI and other sources, Hayward believes the countries of origin of the conflict minerals contained in products manufactured by the Company or contracted by the Company to be manufactured include the countries listed in Annex II to this Conflict Minerals Report, as well as recycled and scrap sources.
As part of due diligence, Hayward identified the seven verified smelters and refiners, noted in Annex I, in its supply chain as having an indication of sourcing one or more conflict minerals from a Covered Country or being physically located within the DRC, and not certified conflict free. Hayward also identified that of the 91 suppliers that indicated one or more conflict minerals as necessary, 26 suppliers indicated sourcing from the seven high risk smelters and refiners.
5.Expected Future Actions
In compliance with the Conflict Mineral Rule, we have taken, and intend to take, additional steps to mitigate the risk that conflict minerals contained in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC. These include engaging in further dialogue with our suppliers, undertaking to improve our response rate to the supplier survey, identifying potential areas of risk, and seeking products and components that comply with our Conflict Minerals Policy.
