Conflict Minerals Report of FLIR Systems, Inc.
for the Year Ending December 31, 2019
The following should be read in conjunction with the definitions contained in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form SD and related rules.
This report for the year ended December 31, 2019 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Rule was adopted by the SEC to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to “conflict minerals” as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The term “conflict minerals” is defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten. For the purposes of this report, tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold will collectively be referred to herein as the 3TGs. The Rule requires each SEC registrant to provide certain disclosures about 3TGs which are necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured by such registrant.
Description of Company
FLIR Systems, Inc. (“FLIR,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a world leader in developing technologies that enhance perception and awareness. We design, develop, market, and distribute solutions that detect people, objects and substances that may not be perceived by human senses and improve the way people interact with the world around them. We bring these innovative technologies into daily life in ways that help save lives and livelihoods. FLIR technologies include thermal imaging systems, visible-light imaging systems, locater systems, measurement and diagnostic systems, and advanced threat-detection solutions.
Founded in 1978, FLIR is a pioneer in advanced sensors and integrated sensor systems that enable the gathering, measurement, and analysis of critical information through a wide variety of applications in commercial, industrial, government, and commercial markets worldwide. We offer the broadest range of infrared, also known as thermal, imaging solutions in the world, with products that range from professional-use thermal camera smartphone accessories to highly advanced aircraft-mounted imaging systems for military and search and rescue applications, with products in between serving a multitude of markets, customers, and applications.
Products Overview
We offer a wide array of sensor products, including infrared imaging cameras and systems, detector cores, visible-light cameras, CBRNE threat detectors, test and measurement instruments, radars, maritime electronics, and related products and solutions. We have evolved our product suite over time, expanding our reach into markets that are adjacent to thermal imaging, with the intent of expanding the adoption and channel development for thermal imaging technology. Examples of this evolution include our entrance into the visible-image security and surveillance market, the industrial machine vision market, and the traffic monitoring and signal control market. We intend to continue this evolution as we continue to lower the cost of advanced sensing products. As the cost to own thermal technology continues to decline, the application of these sensors is expanding beyond imaging to areas such as data acquisition where thermal sensors can provide important data that can be used for a wide variety of applications. For further information about our products, please see Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019.
We conducted an analysis of our products and found that 3TGs can be found in the products described above. Therefore, substantially all the products that we manufacture are subject to the reporting obligations of the Rule.
Due Diligence Process
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
With respect to 3TGs necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured by us, or contracted by us to be manufactured, and required to be reported on Form SD for 2019, we conducted in good faith a country of
origin inquiry that we believe was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the 3TGs originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or an adjoining country (collectively the “Covered Countries”) or were from recycled or scrap sources.
First, we identified all component suppliers and analyzed the bills of materials to identify any 3TGs that may be contained in the components provided by these suppliers. To achieve greater control and transparency over our supply chain and help identify the risk that our products contain any 3TGs that may be financing or benefiting armed groups in any Covered Country, we utilized a reporting template, the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template version 5.12 or higher (“CMRT”), and data gathered by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) of the Responsible Business Alliance (“RBA”) and the Global E-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”). We identified and compiled a list of our suppliers from whom we needed to request information about their sourcing of 3TGs, and we requested that such identified suppliers provide us with information regarding their supply chain using the CMRT.
To gain insight into the country of origin, chain of custody, and whether they directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in any Covered Country (the “Conflict Status”) of our 3TGs in our products, we relied primarily on the data reported by suppliers via the CMRT and the data from the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”). RMAP is a voluntary program in which an independent third party evaluates smelter and refiner procurement activities and determines whether the smelter or refiner demonstrated that all the materials it processed originated from conflict-free sources. Pursuant to our Conflict Smelter Policy and our Supplier Code of Conduct, we require all suppliers to complete a CMRT and disclose the smelter and refiner facilities that are linked to the development of their parts and products.
Based on the information we received from our suppliers (as described below), we have reason to believe that some of the 3TGs contained in our products may have come from recycled or scrap sources.
To the extent we determined from our suppliers’ responses that the 3TGs originated (or may have originated) in the Covered Countries and may not have been from recycled or scrap sources, we exercised further due diligence as required by the Rule. In exercising due diligence, we were not able to determine whether the 3TGs that originated (or may have originated) in the Covered Countries directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups.
Despite our good faith effort to determine the countries of origin and chain of custody of the 3TGs contained in our products, we have not been able to determine the exact country of origin of all of the 3TGs used in our in-scope products. For the 3TGs whose country of origin has become known to us, we have been unable to determine whether such 3TGs directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in the Covered Countries.
Our ability to determine the origin and chain of custody of 3TGs and the Conflict Status is limited. Our supply chain for 3TGs is complex. In most cases, we are several steps removed from the mining and smelting or refining of 3TGs. Out of necessity, we depend on information from suppliers that may themselves purchase 3TGs from persons other than the miner, smelter or refiner of 3TGs.
Due to the breadth and complexity of our products and respective supply chain, it will take time for many of our suppliers to verify the origin of all the 3TGs they procure. By using our supply chain due diligence processes, driving accountability within the supply chain by leveraging the industry standard RMI/RMAP program and continuing our outreach efforts with suppliers, we hope to enhance the transparency within our supply chain regarding 3TGs.
Design of Due Diligence Measures
During 2019, we followed our management systems and due diligence procedures for 3TGs that we established in 2013 (our “CM Process”) with the intent to conform with 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, Third Edition, 2016 (“OECD Guidance”) and the related Supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten. The Guidance identifies five steps for due diligence that should be implemented and provides guidance as to how to achieve each step. We developed our due diligence process to address each of these five steps, as outlined below.
OECD Guidance Step 1 - Establish Strong Internal Management Systems
| |
| • | We have adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct, which is available on our web site at https://www.flir.com/corporate/supplier. |
| |
| • | We have an internal team comprised of those employees who have responsibility for SEC reporting and compliance, and a system to notify the team of information that is relevant to supply-chain due diligence. This team is led by our Accounting and Legal departments. |
| |
| • | We use a third-party service provider to assist us with supply-chain outreach and CMRT collection as well as with due diligence activities related to same. |
| |
| • | This year, we continued to put a strong emphasis on supplier education and training. To accomplish this, we utilized our third-party service provider’s Learning Management System to provide all in-scope suppliers access to Conflict Minerals training courses and learning material that includes understanding the conflict minerals regulation, filling out the CMRT, and using our third-party service provider’s online portal for submission. |
Our employees may anonymously report suspected violations of our Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct using our hotline which is hosted by EthicsPoint, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Company has adopted a policy to retain relevant documentation for a period of five years. Through our third-party service provider, we retain all conflict minerals-related documents, including supplier responses to CMRTs. All of this information and findings from this process are stored in a database that can be audited by internal or external parties.
OECD Guidance Step 2 - Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
| |
| • | We require all suppliers of in-scope products or parts that may contain 3TGs to complete a valid CMRT to collect information about the smelters of 3TG used in our products. |
| |
| • | We analyzed the suppliers’ template responses for completeness and internal consistency and followed up with suppliers in an effort to resolve any discrepancies or incomplete answers that we identified. |
| |
| • | We relied on representations from suppliers that we considered reasonable. Our third-party service-provider also has automatic validation to flag CMRTs that contain conflicting responses or missing information. If such a CMRT was submitted, the supplier received an automated email response indicating the issues with the CMRT they provided. |
| |
| • | In some instances, we worked with suppliers to contact the manufacturer of products supplied to them. We considered warning signs or other circumstances that, in our view, indicated responses to the CMRT were unreliable or that the 3TGs came from a Covered Country and were not from recycled or scrap sources. |
Based on the smelter lists provided by our suppliers via CMRT, we have identified 307 smelters or refiners that are on the RMI Standard Smelter List that accompanies CMRT version 5.12. Of these, 235 have a been identified as conformant by the RMI through the RMAP.
Each facility that meets the RMI definition of a smelter or refiner of a 3TG mineral is assessed according to red flag indicators defined in the OECD Guidance. Our third-party service provider uses five factors to determine the level of risk that each smelter poses to the supply chain by identifying red flags:
1.Geographic proximity to the DRC and covered countries;
2.RMAP audit status;
3.Known mineral source country of origin;
4.Peer assessments conducted by credible third-party sources; and
5.Credible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing.
Based on the above criteria the following facilities have been identified with red flag risks in the supply chain:
•Tony Goetz NV - CID002587
•African Gold Refinery Limited (AGR) - CID003185
•Kaloti Precious Metals - CID002563
•Sudan Gold Refinery - CID002567
•Fidelity Printers and Refiners - CID002515
When these facilities were reported on a CMRT by one of our suppliers, risk mitigation activities were initiated. Through our third-party service provider along with the FLIR site supply chain organizations, suppliers that included any of the above facilities were immediately contacted and requested to take their own risk mitigation actions, including reviewing products sold to FLIR, advising in writing if minerals from any of these smelters were used in FLIR products and, if so, working towards removal of these red-flag smelter(s) from their supply chain.
In accordance with OECD Due Diligence Guidance, risk mitigation will depend on each supplier’s specific context. Suppliers are given clear performance objectives within reasonable timeframes to remediate the issue with focus on elimination of these risks from the supply chain.
OECD Guidance Step 3 - Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
| |
| • | Supplier terms and conditions require, whenever possible, compliance with FLIR’s Supplier Code of Conduct, which requires suppliers to certify as to whether supplied products are or are not free of Conflict Minerals (“CMs”). FLIR’s standard Supplier Terms and Conditions includes language which states suppliers are required to adhere to our conflict minerals policy. |
| |
| • | We notify our direct suppliers of conflict minerals reporting requirements and our policy. |
| |
| • | We are in the process of cross-referencing the smelter and refiner information provided by suppliers this year with the data made available by RMAP concerning the country of origin of the conflict minerals processed by those facilities and their Conflict Status. |
OECD Guidance Step 4 - Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audits of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain
| |
| • | We rely on the RMAP initiative described above to identify smelters or refiners who are conformant with their assessment protocols, in satisfaction of the OECD framework requirements. Any smelters or refiners that were reported by our suppliers on their CMRTs who were not part of the RMAP were contacted directly by our third-party service provider to encourage them to participate in the RMAP. |
OECD Guidance Step 5 - Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
| |
| • | We publicly report the results of our due diligence by publishing a Conflict Minerals Report annually. Our reports are accessible on our website at https://www.flir.com/corporate/supplier. |
Due Diligence Results
Survey Results
We received information from approximately 77% of our suppliers, including information on materials supplied directly to us and contained in products that we contracted to have manufactured by third parties. All final CMRT submissions were reviewed and validated to ensure no inaccuracies or inconsistencies were found. 24 suppliers did not submit a new CMRT when advised of such inaccuracies or inconsistencies and as such are still listed as invalid submissions as of May 11, 2020.
Smelters and Refiners
A majority of the responses we received from our suppliers provided aggregate data for their global supplier list on a company-wide basis. However, some of the responses we received were incomplete or stated that the supplier had no knowledge regarding the source of the 3TGs in their products supplied to FLIR because they had merely purchased such products from a source further down the supply chain. Some suppliers who responded were able to identify smelters or refiners used by sub tier suppliers in their supply chains but not at a component level. However, their responses indicated that their own supply chain due diligence was less than complete. A minority of our suppliers provided product level CMRTs but were unable to tie individual smelters or refiners to the specific components that were delivered to us and are contained in our end products. We are therefore unable to definitively (i) determine whether any of the 3TGs reported by our suppliers were contained in our end products or (ii) validate which of the smelters and refineries included in the CMRTs of our suppliers actually supplied 3TGs for specific components used in our end products. Due to this, our list of smelters or refiners may contain more facilities than those that processed the 3TGs contained in our products.
We are continuing our review of all responses to correlate, identify and resolve the inconsistencies and missing information related to each supplier’s responses. Our continuing efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the 3TGs follow the steps outlined in the OECD Guidance described above.
Risk Mitigation and Future Due Diligence Measures
We have taken, or will take, the following steps since the period covered by this Report to mitigate the risk that our 3TGs financed or benefitted armed groups in the Covered Countries:
| |
| • | Increased the response rate of suppliers to our information requests by continuing to refine our data collection process. |
| |
| • | Ensure ongoing compliance with our conflict minerals procedure and policies. |
| |
| • | Carry out requirements outlined in FLIR’s Conflict Mineral Policy Statement to identify non-compliant suppliers and take action to require suppliers remediate the issue or risk corrective action up to and including (1) FLIR establishing alternative sources from conflict free suppliers and (2) escalation to senior management to advise of suppliers using high risk sources. |
| |
| • | Encourage suppliers to increase the participation rate of smelters and refiners in the RMAP. |
| |
| • | Require new suppliers to commit to comply with our Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct before placing any orders with the supplier. |
| |
| • | Improve our supply chain due diligence by increasing awareness internally and externally regarding our Conflict Minerals Policy. |
We will also continue to engage with the RBA and other key industry groups as part of a wider industry collaboration to develop best practices for the global supply chain and address the ongoing issue of conflict minerals.
In accordance with the Rule, a copy of this Report will be posted on the Company’s website at www.flir.com/corporate/supplier.
