Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report
Illinois Tool Works Inc. is a global manufacturer of a diversified range of industrial products and equipment with 84 divisions in 53 countries, and has prepared this Conflict Minerals Report for calendar year 2019 as provided for in Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (together referred to as the “Conflict Minerals Rule”). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Company,” “ITW,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Illinois Tool Works Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. “Conflict minerals” or “3TG” as used in this report, refers to cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite and their derivatives, tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold, without regard to their location of origin.
The Company’s operations are reported as the following segments: Automotive OEM; Food Equipment; Test & Measurement and Electronics; Welding; Polymers & Fluids; Construction Products; and Specialty Products. Each of our segments manufactures certain products that contain 3TG that are necessary to the functionality or production of the products (which we sometimes refer to herein as “in-scope” products). ITW’s in-scope products collectively contain all four 3TGs.
| |
| B. | Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence Overview |
As provided for in the Conflict Minerals Rule, we conducted a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (“RCOI”), designed in good faith to determine the origin of the 3TG that are contained in our in-scope products. See Section II. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry for a description of our RCOI process for 2019.
If the Company has reason to believe that any of the 3TG in our supply chain may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (with the DRC, the “Covered Countries”), or we are unable to determine the country of origin of the 3TG, we exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TG. We have included a description of our due diligence measures in this Conflict Minerals Report. On the basis of our RCOI, we have determined that some of the 3TG contained in our in-scope products may have originated from a Covered Country, and we are therefore submitting this Conflict Minerals Report, which describes the due diligence we have performed pursuant to the Conflict Minerals Rule and our related processes and procedures. This report is filed as an exhibit to our Form SD and is available on our website at http://www.itw.com/about-itw/suppliers/. Information contained on our website or otherwise actively linked to this Conflict Minerals Report is not part of or incorporated by reference into this Conflict Minerals Report or our Form SD.
| |
| C. | ITW’s Position in the Supply Chain |
ITW is a “downstream company” as defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Third Edition) (the “OECD Guidance”). Most of our businesses are many levels removed from 3TG mining, smelting and processing facilities, and we have no relationships with mines. We source materials and components from suppliers who in turn source their materials and components from sub-tier suppliers, and therefore, we require the cooperation of our supply chain to provide information on smelters and refiners (“SORs”) as well as the origin of 3TG contained in our products. Due to our position in the supply chain, we utilize 3TG source information provided by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (the “RMI”), whose stated mission is to provide companies with tools and resources to make sourcing decisions that improve regulatory compliance and support responsible sourcing from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. RMI also manages the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (the “RMAP”), which implements a risk-based audit program for SORs. We are a member of the RMI (member identifier = ITWI) and actively participate in its initiatives, as discussed later in this Conflict Minerals Report.
| |
| D. | Responsible Sourcing Commitment |
Through the efforts described in this Conflict Minerals Report, we seek to ensure that our suppliers responsibly source 3TG. Our responsible sourcing goes beyond compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule, however, and our Supplier Code of Conduct (which can be found at http://www.itw.com/about-itw/suppliers/page/en/supplier-code-of-conduct/) mandates humane
treatment and compliance with all laws, and in particular prohibits use of child labor, forced labor, and discrimination, and mandates compliance with safety rules, wage and hour laws, and anti-bribery laws.
| |
| E. | Smelter and Refiner and Country of Origin Information |
The Company’s in-scope products that contain 3TG that originated or might have originated from a Covered Country are described in Section IV. Product Information. For 2019, we have not found that any of the 3TG contained in our in-scope products directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in a Covered Country. However, we have not concluded that any of our products are “DRC conflict free.” Information about SORs relating to our in-scope products containing 3TG is described in Section V. Identified Smelters and Refiners and on Annex A.
The terms “adjoining country,” “armed group,” and “DRC conflict free” have the meanings contained in the Conflict Minerals Rule.
| |
| F. | 2019 Program Enhancements |
For 2019, we took the following actions to enhance our RCOI and 3TG due diligence and mitigate sourcing risk. These actions build on our insights after several years of engaging in this process and on the 2018 enhancements described in our Conflict Minerals Report for that year.
Enhanced Smelter Outreach
| |
| • | We continued our active participation in the RMI’s due diligence practices, multi-stakeholder and plenary teams and smelter engagement team, contributing perspective and recommendations we believe to be of benefit to all members; |
| |
| • | We continued our active participation in the Automotive Industry Action Group’s (“AIAG”) Responsible Materials Working Group and joined their smelter engagement team, contributing Tier 1 perspective and insight; |
| |
| • | We sent tailored communications to smelters believed to be in our supply chain who are scheduled to undergo RMI re-audit, encouraging them to go through the re-audit process; |
| |
| • | We contributed to RMI’s Initial Audit Fund; |
General Process Enhancements
| |
| • | We benchmarked our 3TG compliance and disclosure against peer companies and other selected “best practice” customers and companies; |
| |
| • | We continued to strengthen, revise and simplify our written communications, reminders and instructions to our businesses regarding supplier selection and supplier red flag follow-up to enhance the effectiveness of our 3TG compliance program; in particular, we believe that our enhancements in 2019 relating to reminders resulted in part in an improvement in our supplier response rate, which increased by 10% from our rate in 2018; |
| |
| • | We continued providing compliance information and assistance at our global strategic sourcing conference, including a responsible sourcing training presentation covering 3TG, other materials of concern and modern slavery; |
| |
| • | We integrated, and will continue to integrate updates of, the results of our conflict minerals supplier surveys into our supplier risk assessment platform to assist our businesses in their supplier assessment processes; and |
| |
| • | We intend to continue our internal audit review of the operation of our 3TG compliance program and processes every three years. |
In addition, we have taken the following actions to continuously improve our sourcing processes beyond our 3TG RCOI and due diligence.
Further Continuous Improvement
| |
| • | We continued to revisit and enhance our internal responsible sourcing webpage, which is used to inform our businesses as to recent responsible sourcing developments, including relating to cobalt, upcoming European Union conflict minerals requirements and RMI resources available to our businesses as part of our RMI membership; |
| |
| • | We transferred our responsible sourcing newsletters, intended to inform our businesses as to bigger picture responsible sourcing developments, into a separate internal webpage, which we update regularly; and |
| |
| • | We are considering responsible sourcing risks relating to the principal minerals in our products (in addition to 3TG), including by reviewing third-party risk assessments. |
| |
| II. | Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry |
Our RCOI utilized management systems recommended by the first step of the OECD Guidance, and was conducted in accordance with the second step of the OECD Guidance. Selected elements of our program design and RCOI process are discussed below. However, these are not all of the discrete elements of the program that we have put in place in accordance with the steps of the OECD Guidance to help ensure that the 3TG contained in our products are responsibly sourced. The headings below conform to the headings used in the OECD Guidance for each of the first and second steps.
| |
| A. | Establish Strong Management Systems |
1. ITW Policies
ITW has adopted a company-wide Conflict Minerals Policy Statement (the “Conflict Minerals Policy”), which has been approved by ITW’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and is available in seven languages on our website at http://www.itw.com/about-itw/suppliers/page/en/conflict-minerals-policy-statement/. We also provide a copy of ITW’s Conflict Minerals Policy to potential suppliers participating in our online bid portal process whose products contain or may contain 3TG.
Our Conflict Minerals Policy, which was most recently updated in February 2019, states that:
| |
| • | We do not knowingly procure 3TG that originates from Covered Countries unless processed by SORs that are verified or in the process of becoming verified as “conflict free.” |
| |
| • | Our due diligence processes and efforts conform to the relevant portions of the OECD Guidance. |
| |
| • | Our due diligence requests to our suppliers are supported by our Supplier Code of Conduct, which is described below. |
| |
| • | If we discover that products procured by us contain 3TG from the Covered Countries that are processed by facilities that are not third party-verified or in the process of becoming verified, we will take steps to transition the product to other SORs that conform to the policy. |
| |
| • | We do not seek to embargo responsibly sourced 3TG from the Covered Countries as doing so could be detrimental to the legitimate economies and populations of those countries, and our suppliers are encouraged to continue support of SORs in the Covered Countries that are third party verified or in the process of becoming verified and to take similar measures with their supply chains. |
| |
| • | The information provided by our suppliers is used to conduct our due diligence and to inform our risk assessments and risk mitigation activities and in the development of our Conflict Minerals Report and Form SD. |
ITW’s Supplier Code of Conduct (which can be found at http://www.itw.com/about-itw/suppliers/page/en/supplier-code-of-conduct/) sets forth expectations for all ITW suppliers to adhere to the highest ethical standards in the conduct of their business. It also requires suppliers to adhere to specific standards and specifically prohibits certain behaviors and conditions associated with 3TG mining and processing, including use of child or forced labor, unsafe working conditions, corruption and bribery. The Supplier Code of Conduct also requires that, upon request, our suppliers determine whether any products provided by them contain 3TG
and to take such actions as necessary to provide the information requested by ITW to conduct its RCOI, as described below under B. Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain.
2. Cross Functional Committee
ITW has a cross-functional responsible sourcing committee (the “Committee”). The Committee is headed by ITW’s Vice President of Global Strategic Sourcing & Environmental Health and Safety, who reports to ITW’s Vice Chairman, and includes dedicated strategic sourcing, sourcing risk, environmental, legal, internal audit, IT, trade compliance, corporate communications and selected personnel from various operations. Our compliance efforts are supplemented by specialist outside counsel. The Committee meets quarterly to discuss the 3TG compliance process, modern slavery, and related developments. Senior management is briefed on the results of our RCOI and due diligence efforts on a regular basis.
3. Internal Training
We maintain an internal responsible sourcing webpage, which contains resources, instructions and guidance on the RCOI and due diligence processes to be followed by our businesses that have or may have in-scope products. The site also contains step-by-step instructions for making supplier inquiries, including training videos regarding our RCOI and due diligence process, and can be accessed by all ITW businesses for reference. We continually encourage our businesses to watch the training videos prior to sending RCOI requests to suppliers. We also provide training to attendees of ITW’s global sourcing conference, which was most recently held in March 2020.
4. Supplier Engagement and Training
In addition to our Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct, ITW’s standard “Terms and Conditions” obligates our suppliers to take such actions as requested by ITW to enable us to comply with our conflict minerals disclosure requirements. We also include conflict minerals screening questions into incoming supplier bids.
ITW has an established protocol for its supplier inquiry process and uses a third-party software vendor whose role is to support our process for coordinating and tracking RCOI and due diligence interactions between ITW businesses, their customers and in-scope suppliers through use of a cloud-based 3TG tracking tool (the “CM System”).
Our supplier invitation letters are translated into eight languages. ITW educates key suppliers through presentations regarding our conflict minerals compliance program during supplier meetings and other interactions. The training is intended to help ensure the quality and completeness of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates (“CMRTs”) received from suppliers. We also encourage our businesses’ use of RMI’s eLearning Academy for supplier training in our responsible sourcing newsletter, post information and guidance for suppliers on our Company website and encourage our businesses to share relevant information with suppliers on the process for responding to our RCOI requests for information.
5. Records Retention
ITW retains its conflict minerals related records for at least five years. These records generally are maintained in an electronic format.
6. Grievance Mechanism
ITW maintains a web- and telephone-based reporting system (“Helpline”), providing employees with a confidential reporting mechanism by which they can communicate issues and concerns associated with violations of ITW’s Principles of Conduct, which requires all employees to comply with all applicable laws and Company policies, including the Conflict Minerals Policy. Web-based reporting is offered in 16 languages and telephone-based reporting is offered in more than 200 languages, both available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A link to the Helpline is included in our Conflict Minerals Policy and our Supplier Code of Conduct on our website to provide convenient access to external stakeholders, suppliers and other third parties to communicate issues and concerns regarding ITW’s supply chain. The contact information for our Helpline is http://www.itwhelpline.ethicspoint.com.
As an RMI member, we also support the use of the RMI’s grievance mechanism for reporting grievances relating to SORs and the RMAP.
B. Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
Our RCOI process was used to survey our potential in-scope suppliers to identify and assess 3TG sourcing risk in our supply chain for the 2019 reporting cycle.
For 2019, our 3TG working team, together with various members of our sourcing department, compiled a list of the Company’s “80” suppliers by segment (i.e., the most significant suppliers), with or likely to have 3TG in their products, and distributed the list to our businesses with products containing or likely to contain 3TG. Those businesses were asked to further refine the list by identifying their own “80” suppliers and were instructed to survey those suppliers (we refer to the surveyed suppliers for 2019 as the “Suppliers”). We asked our businesses to concentrate their outreach on their “80” suppliers because these suppliers are the most likely to be recurring suppliers and responsible for a significant portion of the 3TG in our products.
The purpose of the Supplier survey was to determine whether 3TG in the components, parts or products from the Suppliers originated or may have originated from a Covered Country and were not from recycled or scrap sources. Businesses were instructed to survey the Suppliers using the then latest version of the CMRT. The CMRT requests information regarding 3TG included in suppliers’ products, SOR identity and location, suppliers’ RCOI processes and other information about the suppliers’ 3TG policies and practices.
ITW has an established protocol for its supplier inquiry process and uses the CM System, a third-party software vendor whose role is to support our process for coordinating and tracking RCOI and due diligence interactions between ITW businesses, their customers and in-scope suppliers through use of a cloud-based 3TG tracking tool.
We sent 2,654 requests in eight languages to the Suppliers to provide us with a completed CMRT, as compared to 3,138 requests sent for 2018. The number of queried Suppliers decreased year-over-year due to the enhanced internal scoping. A number of our businesses source different products from the same Supplier, which means the total number of unique suppliers is less than the number of Suppliers queried. We received 1,639 completed CMRTs from the Suppliers surveyed, compared to 1,615 received for 2018. Since our earliest report in 2014, our supplier response rate has improved steadily year-over-year, increasing from 52% in 2018 to 62% in 2019.
The CM System issued automatic weekly follow-up reminders to non-responding Suppliers, and our businesses were given instructions regarding follow-up actions beyond the automatic reminders and in response to receipt of incomplete or incorrect CMRTs.
Our protocol also includes a follow-up process to investigate any CMRTs received that raised “red flags.” See Section III. Due Diligence for a description of the follow-up process.
Our Supplier responses identified 265 SORs verified by the RMI as Conformant. We determined that 44 of these Conformant SORs sourced in whole or in part from within the Covered Countries. Our determination was based on country of origin information the RMI has obtained through the RMAP that is made available to RMI members.
Our Supplier responses also identified an additional eight SORs that were listed as “Active” (as later defined in Section III.B.) by the RMI and 72 that were listed on the Smelter Look-up tab of the CMRT but were not Conformant or Active.
Based on the results of our RCOI, we were required to conduct due diligence, as described below.
ITW’s conflict minerals due diligence process is designed in conformance with the related third, fourth and fifth steps of the OECD Guidance.
| |
| B. | Due Diligence Activities |
Selected elements of our program design and implementation in furtherance of the third, fourth and fifth steps of the OECD Guidance are discussed below. However, these are not all of the discrete elements of the program that we have put in place pursuant to these steps to help ensure that the 3TG contained in our products are responsibly sourced. The headings below conform to the headings used in the OECD Guidance for each of the third, fourth and fifth steps. The actions taken by the Company to address the first and second steps of the OECD Guidance are described in Section II. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry. See also our 2019 program enhancements discussed in Section I. Introduction.
Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
The SOR information provided by Suppliers in response to the Company’s supplier survey described in Section II.B. was reviewed against the Smelter Look-up tab list in the CMRT. SOR information also was reviewed against the lists of Conformant, Active and other SORs not listed as Conformant or Active and country-of-origin information provided by the RMI and contained in the CM System. “Conformant” SORs have been audited and are conformant with the RMAP assessment protocols, including those listed as “re-audit in progress.” “Active” SORs are those that have committed to undergo an RMAP assessment.
CMRTs received from our Suppliers that indicated 3TG from a source within a Covered Country triggered a “red flag” in the CM System, and communications with the flagged Suppliers were escalated. Businesses and their respective flagged Suppliers indicating 3TG from a source within a Covered Country were asked to provide additional information, and our businesses were given written guidance and instructions for these Supplier communications. The escalated Supplier responses were evaluated on a case-by-case basis. For our 2019 compliance, we continued to revise and simplify our written communications and instructions to our businesses regarding supplier red flag follow-up to enhance program effectiveness.
In addition, we reached out directly to the SORs that were not listed as Conformant or Active by the RMI and asked them to become Conformant. Entities that the RMI has determined are either not SORs or not in operation were not addressed in our outreach efforts. To the extent that identified SORs are not Conformant, we also seek to exercise leverage over these SORs to become Conformant through our participation in and support of the RMI and its Smelter Engagement Team. We also utilize information provided by the RMI to its members to monitor SOR improvement. As a result of our due diligence activities in 2019, we have instructed certain of the Suppliers to remove a total of nine SORs from our supply chain that were not Conformant or otherwise fail to meet our supplier requirements.
Our 3TG working team reported the findings from its RCOI and due diligence process to our Vice President of Global Strategic Sourcing, and these results were in turn discussed with senior management.
Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain
The Company continued its membership in the RMI for 2019. Due to our location in the mineral supply chain, which is discussed earlier in this Conflict Minerals Report, we support and utilize the RMI’s RMAP to perform third-party audits of SORs.
Report annually on supply chain due diligence
We describe our supply chain due diligence efforts in this annual Conflict Minerals Report. We post this report on our website and file it with the SEC as an exhibit to our annual Form SD. Once filed, the Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report become available on our website at www.itw.com/about-itw/suppliers. We also refer to our efforts relating to conflict minerals in our annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which is available on our website at https://itw-csr.com/.
For 2019, our in-scope products that contain 3TG that originated or might have originated from a Covered Country included products in each of the categories below:
|
| |
| Adhesive tapes | Industrial equipment |
| Air delivery equipment | Industrial ovens |
| Arc welding and cutting equipment and consumables | Industrial warewashers |
| Automotive components | Inspection equipment |
| Commercial cooking equipment | LED lamps |
| Commercial food equipment | Measuring equipment |
| Commercial refrigerators | Mixers |
| Disposers/Waste Treatment Equipment | Motors |
| Drills | Power sources |
| Electrical devices | Printers and dispensers |
| Electrical enclosures | Production equipment |
| Electronic components | Sealants |
| Electronic equipment | Sealing equipment |
| Fasteners | Solder products |
| Fastening tools | Switches, capacitors and electronics |
| Flow control meters | Testing equipment |
| Ground support equipment | Welding hardware |
| Industrial cleaning equipment | Wire assembly |
V. Identified Smelters and Refiners
As stated above, our Supplier responses identified 265 SORs that were on the RMI Conformant lists, eight that were listed as Active with the RMI and 72 that were on the Smelter Look-up tab list of the CMRT but not listed as Conformant or Active by the RMI. Those facilities are listed on Annex A. The information on Annex A includes only information regarding the SORs identified by our Suppliers that were on the Smelter Look-up tab list contained in the CM System as of February 10, 2020. Entities identified by our Suppliers that are not on Annex A have been submitted to the RMI to support their ongoing effort to identify and audit all 3TG SORs.
Due to our position in the supply chain, which is discussed earlier in this Conflict Minerals Report, we rely on our Suppliers for accurate SOR information, and our RCOI and due diligence measures cannot provide absolute certainty regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary 3TG contained in our in-scope products. The information that we received from most of our Suppliers was made at a company or user defined level, rather than at a product level, meaning that such Suppliers provided information on all of their products that contained 3TG, not just the products that were sold to us. Therefore, our list of SORs disclosed on Annex A may contain facilities that did not process the 3TG contained in our products. In addition, the identified SORs may not include all SORs present in our in-scope product supply chain, because we did not obtain a response from all Suppliers surveyed, some Suppliers were unable to identify all of the SORs in their supply chain, and we surveyed only the larger suppliers of products containing or potentially containing 3TG.
Annex A includes information concerning the locations of the SORs listed. We utilized the information made available to RMI members regarding the potential countries of origin of the 3TG processed by these SORs and did not find for 2019 that any of our in-scope products contained necessary 3TG that directly or indirectly financed or benefited an armed group in a Covered Country.
| |
| VI. | Additional Risk Mitigation |
In addition to the actions described elsewhere in this Conflict Minerals Report, we intend to take or continue the following steps in respect of our 2020 compliance to mitigate the risk that the necessary 3TG in our in-scope products benefit armed groups:
| |
| • | Continue to analyze and review our current processes to improve their effectiveness and efficiency; |
| |
| • | Continue to enhance supplier communications and training to improve RCOI and due diligence data accuracy and completion; |
| |
| • | Continue to seek to influence non-Conformant SORs in our supply chain to obtain a Conformant designation; |
| |
| • | Continue our membership in the RMI and active participation in its Plenary, Multi-Stakeholder, Due Diligence and Smelter Engagement Teams and support the RMAP; |
| |
| • | Continue our membership and active participation in the AIAG Responsible Materials Working Group; and |
| |
| • | Continue to submit to the RMI facilities identified by our suppliers that have not yet been identified by the RMI as SORs, to support the RMI’s ongoing effort to identify and audit all 3TG SORs. |
| |
| VII. | Forward Looking Statements |
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include expectations concerning the Company’s future actions to identify improvements to our due diligence processes, to engage with our suppliers, and to take other actions regarding our product sourcing. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, incomplete information from industry or other third-party sources, continuing guidance regarding the Conflict Minerals Rule and the enactment of laws and rules in other jurisdictions, decisions to make changes to our continual improvement efforts and delays or difficulties in engaging suppliers and/or transitioning sources of product containing 3TG.

Country of Origin Information
The countries of origin of the newly-mined 3TG processed by the Conformant SORs listed above may have included the countries listed below, as well as possibly other countries. We did not determine the possible countries of origin of the 3TG processed by any other SORs listed on this Annex A. The listed countries of origin are derived from information made available by the RMI to its members, which includes London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery List information. Because the RMI generally does not indicate individual countries of origin of the 3TG processed by Conformant SORs, we were not able to determine the countries of origin of the newly-mined 3TG processed by the listed Conformant SORs with greater specificity. According to information made available by the RMI to its members, some of the listed SORs processed 3TG originating solely from recycled or scrap sources and others processed both recycled and scrap content and newly-mined content from one or more of the countries indicated below.
