Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2023
This Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, is submitted by Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. (“Accelerate” or the “Company”) as required by Section 13(p) of, and Rule 13p-1 under, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Conflict Regulations”).
1.Company Overview
This report has been prepared by management and supply chain personnel of the Company. The information includes the activities of all subsidiaries that are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accelerate is an in vitro diagnostics company dedicated to providing solutions that improve patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs through the rapid diagnosis of serious infections. Microbiology laboratories need new tools to address what the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”) calls one of the most serious healthcare threats of our time, antibiotic resistance. A significant contributing factor to the rise of resistance is the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, which is exacerbated by a lack of timely diagnostic results. The delay of identification and antibiotic susceptibility results is often due to the reliance by microbiology laboratories on traditional culture-based tests that often take two to three days to complete. The Company’s technology platforms are intended to address these challenges by delivering significantly faster testing of infectious pathogens in various patient sample types.
2. Product Overview
During 2023, the Company manufactured and sold four categories of products: (1) its Accelerate Pheno® system instrument, (2) Accelerate PhenoTest® BC Kit consumables, (3) its Accelerate Arc™ system instrument, and (4) Accelerate Arc BC Kit consumables (each, a “Product” and collectively, the “Products”).
Accelerate Pheno
The Accelerate Pheno system is the Company’s rapid diagnostic platform. The Accelerate PhenoTest BC Kit is indicated as an aid, in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings, in the diagnosis of bacteremia and fungemia, both life-threatening conditions with high morbidity and mortality risk. The device provides identification (“ID”) results followed by antibiotic susceptibility testing (“AST”) for certain pathogenic bacteria commonly associated with
or causing bacteremia. This test kit uses genotypic technology to identify infectious pathogens and phenotypic technology to conduct AST, which determines whether live bacterial cells are resistant or susceptible to a particular antimicrobial. This information can be used by physicians to rapidly modify antibiotic therapy to lessen adverse events, improve clinical outcomes, and help preserve the useful life of antibiotics.
Accelerate Arc
The Accelerate Arc instrument and Accelerate Arc BC Kit is the Company’s system for automating the clean-up and concentration of microbial cells from positive blood culture samples.
Mass spectrometry, and particularly the Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight version (“MALDI-TOF”), is an ID technology receiving wide attention. These systems require a pure strain isolate for analysis and enrichment culturing to produce enough material to analyze. MALDI-TOF systems require extensive organism enrichment and purification, which can be provided by the Company’s Accelerate Arc system.
The Company conducted an analysis of its Products and determined that tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold can be found in its Products.
3. Due Diligence
Based on the Company’s reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), the Company was unable to reasonably conclude that all of its conflict minerals did not originate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (“Covered Countries”) or come from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, the Company performed due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in its Products. Conflict minerals are obtained from sources worldwide, and the Company does not desire to eliminate those originating in the Covered Countries. While the Company is committed to conflict free sourcing of minerals from its supply chain, the Company also recognizes the importance of supporting responsible mineral sourcing from the Covered Countries so as not to negatively impact the economies of those countries.
Design of Due Diligence Measures
The Company’s due diligence measures were designed to conform in all material respects with the due diligence framework 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 2016) and the related Supplements on tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (collectively, the “OECD Guidance”).
Due Diligence Measures Performed
Due diligence measures performed for reporting year 2023 consisted of the following:
•OECD: Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
◦A team of Company personnel from its legal, supply chain, and research and development departments with relevant expertise performed an assessment of its Products and Product components and the role that relevant suppliers play throughout the Company’s manufacturing and Product delivery processes.
◦The conflict minerals team oversaw all aspects of the Company’s conflict minerals processes and its diligence on conflict minerals sourcing.
•OECD: Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
◦The Company supported ethical sourcing and the use of only conflict-free minerals (that is, minerals that do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups (as defined in the Form SD instructions) in the Covered Countries) in its Products. The Company defined the scope of its conflict minerals due diligence by identifying, contacting, and requesting relevant information from its direct suppliers that provided components or materials for Products manufactured by the Company in 2023 that were likely to contain conflict minerals.
◦The Company used the conflict minerals reporting template (“CMRT”) standardized by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”). The Company requested that each of its relevant suppliers provide the information included within the CMRT, which elicits information relating, among other things, to the following:
▪whether the smelters in their supply chains source conflict minerals from a Covered Country;
▪whether such minerals come from a recycler or scrap supplier;
▪whether the applicable supplier requests and has received completed CMRTs from all of its sub-suppliers;
▪whether the supplier has identified all the applicable smelters it and its sub-suppliers use to supply components or materials to the Company, and, if so, the identity of such smelters;
▪whether the supplier has a policy in place that addresses responsible sourcing;
▪whether the supplier requires its sub-suppliers to source from smelters whose due diligence practices have been validated by an independent third party audit program;
▪whether the supplier has implemented due diligence measures for responsible sourcing; and
▪whether the supplier reviews the due diligence information received from its suppliers, and, if so, whether this process includes corrective action management.
◦The Company reviewed the information provided by its direct suppliers to determine completeness, assess reasonableness, and attempt to identify inconsistencies and inaccuracies.
◦The Company compared the smelter information provided by its direct suppliers against the standard smelter list in the CMRT. For those smelters included in the CMRT, the Company reviewed whether such smelters were listed as Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) Conformant or Active.
•OECD Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
◦The Company supports industry initiatives to encourage a conflict-free supply chain and seeks to develop and establish supply arrangements with companies that exercise reasonable measures to ensure the components and materials they supply to the Company do not support armed conflict within the Covered Countries. The Company continued to evaluate its supply chain strategy to (a) support the objective of preventing the use in Company products of conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups (as defined in the Form SD Instructions) in the Covered Countries, (b) minimize the knowing procurement of materials that are not conflict-free (if conflict-free sources are reasonably available), and (c) further communicate to its direct suppliers the Company’s expectations and systems that are designed to accomplish this goal.
◦The Company seeks to establish and maintain long-term relationships with its key suppliers. However, the Company carefully evaluates any supply arrangements that it determines may finance or benefit armed groups through the sourcing of conflict minerals within the Covered Countries. In such instances, the Company may request the supplier to commit to devise and undertake appropriate corrective action to move to a conflict-free source, or it may consider other appropriate sources for the supplier’s components or materials.
•OECD Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices
◦The Company does not have a direct relationship with the smelters and refiners used to process the conflict minerals necessary to its Products and does not perform audits of those smelters and refiners. The Company relies on industry efforts, such as the RMI, to influence smelters and refineries to become certified as part of RMAP.
◦The RMAP independently audits the source, including mines of origin and chain of custody, of the conflict minerals used by smelters and refiners that agree to participate in the RMAP. The smelters and refiners that are found to be RMAP Conformant are those for which the independent audit has verified that the smelter’s or refiner’s conflict minerals originated from conflict free mines.
•OECD Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
◦The Company does not obtain conflict minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners. The Company is an indirect purchaser of conflict minerals, as these minerals are contained in components and materials used in its Products that the Company acquires from its direct suppliers, and its due diligence measures provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in its Products. The Company relies on its direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in components and materials supplied to the Company, including sources of conflict minerals that are supplied from lower-tier suppliers. The Company seeks data from its direct suppliers of components and materials and those suppliers seek similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the conflict minerals. The Company may also rely from time to time on information collected and provided by independent third-party audit programs or other sources that it deems reliable. Such sources of information may produce inaccurate or incomplete information and may be subject to fraud. In addition, because of the Company’s location within the supply chain, its ability to verify the accuracy of information reported by suppliers is limited.
◦The Company prepares and files a Form SD to the SEC on an annual basis. This report is made available and posted publicly on the Company’s website at http://ir.axdx.com/governance-documents.
4. Results of Due Diligence
In order to understand the sources of conflict minerals used in its complex and multi-tiered supply chain, the Company implemented a survey program capitalizing on industry standards set by the RMI. The Company requested all direct suppliers of components or
materials containing conflict minerals used in its Products to conduct due diligence of their supply chains down to the smelters and refiners and report the results to the Company on a CMRT. In this regard, the Company surveyed all direct suppliers that contributed components or materials that contained conflict minerals to its Products manufactured in 2023. The Company received responses from 100% of the direct suppliers surveyed.
A. Facilities Used to Process Conflict Minerals
The Company’s direct suppliers identified smelters and refiners that may have been used to process the conflict minerals in its Products, and such smelters and refiners are listed in Table 1. The Company’s direct suppliers have provided it with information at the “company” level. Declarations at the “company” level do not limit the information provided on smelters and refiners to those specific to the components or materials that the supplier provides to the Company. Accordingly, the list of smelters and refiners in Table 1 is likely to contain more facilities than those that processed or refined the conflict minerals actually contained in the Company’s Products. The potential over-reporting of smelter and refiner facilities is a function of such Products containing components or materials that are several steps removed from such facilities, as well as the lack of specificity, in certain cases, with respect to the information that respondents provide to the Company or to its direct suppliers.
B. Countries of Origin of the Company’s Conflict Minerals
None of the Company’s direct suppliers provided any country of origin information. The Company is continuing to evaluate the information provided by its direct suppliers, and its efforts to diligence its supply chain and obtain country of origin information regarding the conflicts minerals used in its Products are ongoing.
C. Efforts to Determine Mine or Location of Origin
The Company has determined that the most reasonable effort it can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of its conflict minerals is to seek information from its direct suppliers and ask its direct suppliers to make the same inquiries from their suppliers. However, none of the Company’s direct suppliers provided any mine or location of origin information.
5. Steps Taken and Being Taken to Mitigate Risk and Improve Due Diligence
During 2024, the Company intends to provide additional background and educational information to its direct suppliers when it believes it is necessary to improve their ability to respond to the CMRT.
