Exhibit 1.01
Pentair plc
Conflict Minerals Report
For the reporting period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018
This Conflict Minerals Report for the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (the “Rule”). The Rule was adopted to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Rule imposes reporting obligations on Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registrants whose manufactured products contain certain minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their respective products.
If a registrant determines that any columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the “Subject Minerals”), are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by the registrant or contracted by the registrant to be manufactured, the registrant must conduct in good faith a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding those Subject Minerals that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Subject Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered County” or “Covered Countries”) or are from recycled or scrap sources.
If, following the completion of the RCOI, a registrant knows that any of the necessary Subject Minerals originated in a Covered Country and are not from recycled or scrap sources, or has reason to believe that any of its necessary Subject Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and has reason to believe that its necessary Subject Minerals did not come from recycled or scrap sources, then the registrant must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Subject Minerals that conforms to a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework and describe such due diligence in this separate Conflict Minerals Report.
In accordance with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition, the related supplements on tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold (the “Guidance”) and the Rule, this Conflict Minerals Report is available on the Company’s website at https://www.pentair.com/en/partner-supplier-info.html.
Consistent with the provisions of the Rule, the SEC’s Statement on the Effect of the Recent Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule, dated April 29, 2014; the SEC’s Order Issuing Stay, dated May 2, 2014; and the SEC’s Updated Statement on the Effect of the Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule, dated April 7, 2017, this Conflict Minerals Report has not been audited by a third party.
At Pentair plc, we believe the health of our world depends on reliable access to clean water. We deliver a comprehensive range of smart, sustainable water solutions to homes, business and industry around the world. Our leading and proven portfolio of solutions enables our customers to access clean, safe water. Whether it’s improving, moving or enjoying water, we help manage the world’s most precious resource.
At the end of calendar year 2018, the Company was comprised of three reporting segments:
| |
| • | The Aquatic Systems segment, which manufactures and sells a complete line of energy-efficient residential and commercial pool equipment and accessories including pumps, filters, heaters, lights, automatic controls, automatic cleaners, maintenance equipment and pool accessories. |
| |
| • | The Filtration Solutions segment, which designs, manufactures, markets and services innovative water solutions to meet filtration and separation challenges across residential, commercial, food and beverage and industrial applications. |
| |
| • | The Flow Technologies segment, which manufactures and sells products ranging from light duty diaphragm pumps to high-flow turbine pumps and solid handling pumps while serving the global residential, commercial and industrial markets. |
The Company previously maintained an operating structure consisting of two businesses: the Water business, which designed, manufactured, marketed and serviced innovative products and solutions to meet filtration, separation, flow and water management challenges in agriculture, aquaculture, foodservice, food and beverage processing, swimming pools, water supply and disposal and a variety of industrial applications, and the Electrical business, which designed, manufactured, marketed, installed and serviced high performance products and solutions that connect and protect some of the world’s most sensitive equipment, buildings and critical processes.
On May 9, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to separate its Water business and its Electrical business into two independent, publicly traded companies (the “Separation”). The Separation was completed on April 30, 2018, at which time the Company continued to operate the Water business and nVent Electric plc, an independent, publicly traded company initially owned by the Company’s shareholders, began operating the Electrical business. This Conflict Minerals Report includes products that were manufactured by both the Water and Electrical businesses during calendar year 2018.
The Company conducted an analysis of all of its products and its entire supply chain, and, accordingly, the Company did not limit its review to those products that may have contained Subject Minerals. This Conflict Minerals Report relates to all products (which are collectively referred to as the “Covered Products”): (i) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company; and (ii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2018. Based on its initial analysis:
| |
| • | For the Water business, the Company estimates that approximately 61% of its suppliers make use of one or more of the Subject Minerals with respect to the Covered Products. |
| |
| • | For the former Electrical business, the Company estimates that approximately 86% of its suppliers made use of one or more of the Subject Minerals with respect to the Covered Products. |
The Company has adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy that emphasizes the Company’s commitment to complying with the Rule and to identifying the source of the Subject Minerals contained in the Company’s products. The Company also indicates in its Global Supplier Guide (the “Supplier Guide”) that it expects all suppliers doing business with the Company to cooperate with the conflict minerals due diligence process. The Company also has participated in groups and forums focused on responsible sourcing of Subject Minerals, including the Responsible Minerals Initiative (the “RMI”) and industry association groups such as the Twin Cities Conflict Minerals Task Force.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to “Pentair,” the “Company,” and such words as “we,” “us,” and “our” include Pentair plc and its consolidated subsidiaries.

| 2. | Conflict Minerals Compliance Process |
| |
| 2.1 | Compliance Framework Overview |
The Company designed its due diligence measures to conform in all material respects to the Guidance.
| |
| 2.2 | Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry |
The Company designed its RCOI to provide a reasonable basis for it to determine whether the Company sources Subject Minerals from Covered Countries and whether any of the Subject Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources.
The Company began by analyzing its supplier base and designating certain suppliers as outside the scope of the RCOI process if they met one or more of the following criteria:
| |
| • | The supplier provides the Company with packaging only (excluding labels). |
| |
| • | The supplier provides the Company with items that are not included in our finished products, such as the equipment used to manufacture our products. |
| |
| • | The supplier is a test lab or other service provider. |
After removing these out-of-scope suppliers, the Company then conducted a survey of its remaining suppliers using the template maintained by the RMI, known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT Form”). The CMRT Form was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company’s supply chain. The CMRT Form includes questions regarding a direct supplier’s conflict minerals policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, origin of Subject Minerals included in its products, supplier due diligence and a listing of the smelters that the direct supplier and its suppliers use. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the tool are available on the RMI’s website. Many companies are using the CMRT Form in their RCOI and due diligence processes related to Subject Minerals.
The Company’s inquiry process for its Water business included multiple rounds of communication and follow-up, including mail, email and telephone calls, with over 4,000 direct suppliers spanning three enterprise resource planning systems. The Company received, reviewed and processed responses from 65% of the suppliers surveyed, which represented approximately 95% of total calendar year 2018 supplier expenditures for the Water business.
The Company’s inquiry process for its former Electrical business also included multiple rounds of communication and follow-up, including mail, email and telephone calls with over 150 direct suppliers, spanning three enterprise resource planning systems. The Company received, reviewed and processed responses from 86% of the suppliers surveyed.
The Company reviewed the responses against risk-based criteria developed to determine which responses required further engagement with the relevant suppliers. These criteria included inconsistencies within the data reported in the CMRT Form and other risk-based criteria. The Company worked directly with these suppliers to obtain a revised response and/or additional clarity regarding their submission.
As part of this year’s program, the Company also conducted automated data validation on all submitted supplier responses. The goal of data validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers provided by suppliers. Following the data validation process, the Company classified submitted forms as either valid or invalid and contacted suppliers regarding forms classified as invalid to encourage such suppliers to resubmit a valid form. As of May 10, 2019, for the Water business,
the Company still had 100 invalid supplier submissions that were not yet corrected, and for the former Electrical business, the Company still had five invalid supplier submissions that were not yet corrected.
Among the supplier responses received by the Company that were classified as valid, the Company received the following information for its Water business:
| |
| • | Approximately 78% of supplier responses indicated that such supplier did not use Subject Minerals in the materials and components that it supplied to the Company during 2018. |
| |
| • | Approximately 6% of supplier responses indicated that, to the best of such supplier’s knowledge, the Subject Minerals in the components and materials that it supplied to the Company during 2018 did not originate from a Covered Country. |
| |
| • | Approximately 5% of supplier responses indicated that, to the best of such supplier’s knowledge, the Subject Minerals in the components and materials that it supplied to the Company during 2018 may have originated in a Covered Country from sources verified as conflict-free by third parties such as the RMI and others. |
| |
| • | Approximately 10% of the Company’s suppliers indicated that the Subject Minerals in some of the components and materials supplied to the Company may have originated from a Covered Country, but those suppliers could not determine whether such Subject Minerals were conflict-free. |
| |
| • | Approximately 1% of the Company’s suppliers indicated that based on the components and materials supplied to the Company, they were out of scope. |
Among the supplier responses received by the Company that were classified as valid, the Company received the following information for the former Electrical business:
| |
| • | Approximately 19% of supplier responses indicated that such supplier did not use Subject Minerals in the materials and components that it supplied to the Company during 2018. |
| |
| • | Approximately 12% of supplier responses indicated that, to the best of such supplier’s knowledge, the Subject Minerals in the components and materials that it supplied to the Company during 2018 did not originate from a Covered Country. |
| |
| • | Approximately 14% of supplier responses indicated that, to the best of such supplier’s knowledge, the Subject Minerals in the components and materials that it supplied to the Company during 2018 may have originated in a Covered Country from sources verified as conflict-free by third parties such as the RMI and others. |
| |
| • | Approximately 25% of the Company’s suppliers indicated that the Subject Minerals in some of the components and materials supplied to the Company may have originated from a Covered Country, but those suppliers could not determine whether such Subject Minerals were conflict-free. |
| |
| • | Approximately 30% of the Company’s suppliers indicated that based on the components and materials supplied to the Company, they were out of scope. |
After reviewing the results of the RCOI, the Company could not conclusively determine that it had no reason to believe that Subject Minerals necessary for the functionality or production of its products may have originated from a Covered Country during 2018. The Company conducted its RCOI in good faith, and the Company believes that such inquiry was reasonable to allow it to make the determination. Accordingly, the Company proceeded to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Subject Minerals.
| |
| 2.3 | The Company’s Due Diligence Process |
Design of Due Diligence
We designed our due diligence measures to conform, in all material respects, with the framework in the Guidance. The Guidance describes the five aspects of a robust due diligence program and provides guidelines for implementing each aspect. We developed our due diligence process to address each of these five aspects, namely:
| |
| 1. | Establishing strong company management systems regarding conflict minerals; |
| |
| 2. | Identifying and assessing risks in our supply chain; |
| |
| 3. | Designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks in our supply chain; |
| |
| 4. | Utilizing independent third-party audits of supply chain diligence; and |
| |
| 5. | Publicly reporting on our supply chain due diligence |
We are a downstream supplier, many steps removed from the mines and companies that produce the Subject Minerals. A large number of suppliers, through multiple tiers of distribution, supply the components and materials integrated into our products. Furthermore, Pentair does not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals or make purchases directly from the Covered Countries. The origin of Subject Minerals cannot be determined with any certainty once the raw ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other Subject Mineral-containing derivatives. The smelters and refiners consolidate raw ore and therefore have the most direct knowledge of the origin of the Subject Minerals they procure.
The Guidance specifies that the requirements for compliance should reflect a company’s position in the supply chain. In particular, the Guidance states that the implementation of due diligence should be tailored to a company’s activities and relationships and that the nature and extent of due diligence may vary based on a company’s size, products, relationships with suppliers and other factors. Due to practical difficulties associated with supply chain complexities, the Guidance advises that downstream companies exercise due diligence primarily by establishing controls over their immediate suppliers. Accordingly, we rely primarily on our “tier 1,” or direct, suppliers to provide information with respect to the origin of the conflict minerals contained in the components and materials supplied to us.
| |
| 2.3.1 | Establish Strong Company Management Systems |
Internal Team
The Company developed cross-functional teams to set its conflict minerals strategy and ensure timely implementation and execution of the due diligence program. The Company’s Supply Chain Group has primary responsibility for program execution. Guidance on the overall strategy and implementation is provided by the Legal Department, Accounting Department and Internal Audit Department. Senior management is briefed about the results of the due diligence program on a regular basis.
The Company has developed internal training processes to educate anyone within the Company that is a potential contact point for suppliers or other external parties regarding the Company’s conflict minerals compliance efforts. In addition, the Company has either independently, or in cooperation with a third-party service provider, developed tailored training programs to train the Company’s employees with respect to the potential impact of conflict minerals.
Ethics HelpLine
The Company has long-standing grievance mechanisms, including an Ethics HelpLine, whereby the Company’s employees can report violations of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, policy or law, including its procedures related to conflict minerals and the conflict minerals reporting process.
Control Systems and Supplier Engagement
Due to its position in the supply chain, the Company does not have a direct relationship with Subject Minerals smelters and refiners. The Company engages with its suppliers and relies on information provided through the CMRT Form, version 5.11 or higher, to gather information on the source and chain of custody of the Subject Minerals in its products.
In 2014, the Company updated its Supplier Guide to address, among other things, the Subject Minerals and the requirement of its suppliers to provide information on their use of these minerals. The Company also continues to update its supplier contracts by including a requirement that the supplier comply with the Supplier Guide whenever a new contract is entered into or an outstanding contract is renewed. In 2016, Pentair’s Terms and Conditions were updated to include compliance with laws including a broad reference to all business integrity-related laws and regulations.
Beginning in 2016 and continuing this year, we have put a stronger emphasis on supplier education and training. To accomplish this, we utilized a third-party learning management system from Assent Compliance Inc. (“Assent”), known as Assent University, to provide all in-scope suppliers access to their Conflict Minerals training course. This training is tracked and evaluated based on completion. All suppliers are encouraged to complete all modules within this course.
In addition, the Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy is available on its website, and provides assistance to suppliers in their efforts to comply with the Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy, including video training, recorded training and written instructions as well as supplemental assistance through email and telephone contact as necessary. If the Company discovers that a direct supplier is not in compliance with the Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy, the Company may take certain actions to mitigate any potential risk, as described in Section 2.3.3, below.
Records Retention
The Company will retain documentation related to its conflict minerals compliance program according to the Company’s Document Retention Policy.
| |
| 2.3.2 | Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain |
The Company’s supply chain with respect to the Covered Products is complex. During 2018, the Company had over 4,400 direct suppliers with respect to the Covered Products, and there are many third parties in the supply chain between the ultimate manufacture of the Covered Products and the original sources of the Subject Minerals. In this regard, the Company does not purchase Subject Minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners. The Company must therefore rely on its suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of Subject Minerals that are included in the Covered Products.
Based on this information, and in an effort to conform its due diligence measures to the Guidance, the Company assesses the risk in its supply chain in several ways. For example, the Company considers the potential risk presented by the smelters or refiners in its supply chain, as reported by the Company’s direct
suppliers. Smelters or refiners that source the Subject Minerals from a Covered Country and are not certified as conflict-free by third-party audit programs such as the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) pose a significant risk.
The Company assesses the risk in its supply chain by reviewing its direct suppliers’ responses to the CMRT Form, including whether such suppliers have established due diligence programs with respect to the Subject Minerals. The Company uses its direct suppliers’ responses to the CMRT Form to determine the extent to which it may be necessary for the Company to allocate additional due diligence resources. Through Assent, the Company has also provided video and written training on compliance with the Rule, supply chain due diligence and the CMRT Form. This includes instructions on completing the CMRT Form, and one-on-one email and phone discussions with supplier personnel. In addition, suppliers are guided to the Assent University learning platform to engage in educational materials on mitigating the risk of smelters or refiners in the supply chain.
After the Company receives CMRT Forms completed by its direct suppliers, the Company, with the assistance of Assent, assesses each facility that meets the RMI definition of a smelter or refiner of a Subject Mineral and that is reported as being in the Company’s supply chain by the Company’s direct suppliers according to “red flag” indicators defined in the Guidance. Assent uses five factors to determine the level of risk that each smelter poses to the supply chain and reviews each for potential red flags:
| |
| • | The smelter or refiner’s geographic proximity to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the other Covered Countries; |
| |
| • | Known mineral sources in the country of origin; |
| |
| • | The smelter or refiner’s audit status with respect to the RMAP; |
| |
| • | Credible evidence of unethical or conflict-related sourcing practices associated with the smelter or refiner; and |
| |
| • | Peer assessments of the smelter or refiner conducted by credible third-party sources. |
Based on these factors, the Company has determined that the following smelter or refiner facilities, which were reported as being in the Company’s supply chain by the Company’s direct suppliers, have red flag risks (“Red-Flagged Facilities”):
| |
| • | Tony Goetz NV - CID002587 |
| |
| • | African Gold Refinery Limited (AGR) - CID003185 |
| |
| • | Kaloti Precious Metals - CID002563 |
| |
| • | Universal Precious Metals Refining - CID002854 |
| |
| • | Fidelity Printers and Refiners - CID002515 |
| |
| • | Sudan Gold Refinery - CID002567 |
Whenever a Red-Flagged Facility is reported as being in the Company’s supply chain, the Company implements risk mitigation activities that are described in specific detail in Section 2.3.3, below. Generally, in designing and implementing the Company’s strategy to respond to the supply chain risks that it has identified, the Company analyzed various third-party approaches and consulted with other companies in our industry. The Company has concluded that tracing the Subject Minerals back to their mine of origin directly is an exceedingly complex task, given the breadth and depth of the Company’s supply chain. Instead, the Company has determined that seeking information about smelters and refiners in the Company’s supply chain represents the most reasonable effort the Company can make to determine the mines or origin of the Subject Minerals in its supply chain. To this end, the Company has adopted methods outlined by the RMI’s joint industry programs and outreach initiatives, and the Company has required its suppliers to conform with the same standards and to report on their efforts using the CMRT
Form. Through these methods, the Company has made a reasonable determination of the origin of the Subject Minerals in its supply chain.
Additionally, the Company evaluates its suppliers on the strength of their own compliance programs (which further assist the Company in identifying risk in its supply chain). Evaluating and tracking the strength of the Company’s suppliers’ compliance programs is recommended by the Guidance and can help the Company to make key risk mitigation decisions. The criteria the Company uses to evaluate the strength of a supplier’s program is based on the following four questions in the CMRT Form:
| |
| • | Have you established a conflict minerals sourcing policy? |
| |
| • | Have you implemented due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing? |
| |
| • | Do you review due diligence information received from your suppliers against your company’s expectations? |
| |
| • | Does your review process include corrective action management? |
When a supplier meets or exceeds those criteria (by answering “yes” to all four questions), the Company considers that supplier to have a strong compliance program. Conversely, the Company believes that a supplier that does not satisfy all four criteria has a weak compliance program. At this time, 277 of our 2,963 responsive suppliers, or 9%, have been identified as having a weak program.
| |
| 2.3.3 | Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks |
In conjunction with the Company’s risk assessment process, the Company has developed a risk management plan for responding to risks identified in its supply chain, including Red-Flagged Facilities. Through the Company’s due diligence process, the Company attempts to determine the source and chain of custody of the necessary Subject Minerals the Company knows, or has reason to believe, originated in a Covered Country. Since the Company does not have a direct relationship with smelters and/or refiners, most of the work toward this aspect of the Guidance is carried out indirectly through the Company’s suppliers or through the Company’s involvement with industry working groups/coalitions. Due to its position in the supply chain, the Company largely focuses on the accuracy and quality of the representations the Company’s direct suppliers make regarding the source and chain of custody of their Subject Minerals. The Company evaluates its direct suppliers’ responses to RCOI and due diligence inquiries based on the risk or likelihood that they are giving an incorrect response or that a non-response may indicate the supplier is purchasing from a known conflict source and does not wish to disclose this fact.
With respect to the Red-Flagged Facilities, upon receiving a CMRT Form from a direct supplier that identifies a Red-Flagged Facility as being present in the Company’s supply chain, the Company immediately initiates risk mitigation activities. Through a third-party vendor, the Company directs any supplier reporting a Red-Flagged Facility to implement its own risk mitigation actions. These actions include submitting a product-specific CMRT Form to the Company, to better identify the connection between the Red-Flagged Facility and the materials or components the Company purchases from the supplier, and requesting that the supplier begin the process to remove any Red-Flagged Facility from the supplier’s supply chain.
As per the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, specific risk mitigation procedures depend on the suppliers’ specific situation. Suppliers are given clear performance objectives within reasonable timeframes with the ultimate goal of progressive elimination of these risks from the supply chain.
As part of the Company’s risk management plan, and to ensure its suppliers understood the Company’s expectations, the Company has provided video training, recorded training and documented instructions to its direct suppliers through Assent. The Company also provided additional direct assistance to suppliers that required further clarification on the Company’s expectations. The Company then provided each supplier with a copy of the CMRT Form to complete as part of the Company’s due diligence process. Furthermore, as described above, the Company reviewed responses with specific suppliers where the responses suggested inaccuracies, inconsistencies or otherwise warranted further inquiry.
Finally, in accordance with the Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy, the Company engages any of its suppliers that it has reason to believe may be supplying the Company with Subject Minerals from sources that may support conflict in any of the Covered Countries to request that such suppliers establish an alternate source of Subject Minerals that does not support armed conflict in the Covered Countries.
The Company's global supplier development team to respond to suppliers that may potentially expose the Company to unacceptable risks, due to unacceptable responses to the Company’s inquiries or a refusal to respond. If the global supplier development team determines that a supplier is non-responsive, or is not satisfied with a supplier’s risk mitigation efforts, the global supplier development team may ultimately recommend that the Company take steps to find replacement suppliers as soon as is practicable.
| |
| 2.3.4 | Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain |
The Company does not have a direct relationship with Subject Minerals smelters and refiners and does not perform or direct audits of these entities within the Company’s supply chain. The Company supports audits by engaging its partners who are closer to the source and, as a member of the RMI, by promoting the smelter and refiner verification procedures and protocols of the RMAP.
Assent also directly contacts smelters and refiners that are not currently enrolled in the RMAP to encourage their participation and gather information regarding each facility’s sourcing practices on behalf of its compliance partners. The Company is a signatory of this communication in accordance with the requirements of downstream companies detailed in the Guidance.

| 2.3.5 | Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence |
This Conflict Minerals Report is being filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Company’s specialized disclosure report on Form SD and is available on our website at https://www.pentair.com/en/partner-supplier-info.html.
Due Diligence Results
Attached as Annex I to this Conflict Minerals Report is a list of all of the smelters and refiners listed by our suppliers in their completed CMRTs that appear on the list of smelters maintained by the RMI. Because most of the CMRTs we received were made on a company- or division-level basis, rather than on a product-level basis, we are not able to identify which smelters or refiners listed on Annex I actually processed the Subject Minerals contained in our products. Therefore, our list of processing smelters and refiners in Annex I may contain more facilities than those that actually processed the Subject Minerals in our products. The Company does not have sufficient information, with respect to the Covered Products, to conclusively determine the country of origin of the Subject Minerals in the Covered Products or to conclusively determine whether the Subject Minerals in the Covered Products are from recycled or scrap sources. However, based on the information provided by the Company’s suppliers, smelters and refiners, as well as from the RMI and other sources, the Company believes the countries of origin of the Subject
Minerals contained in the Covered Products include the countries listed in Annex II to this Conflict Minerals Report, as well as recycled and scrap sources.
After reviewing the information provided by its suppliers, the Company identified 327 legitimate smelters and refiners of the Subject Minerals in the Covered Products as being present in its supply chain for the calendar year 2018. The Company determined that the same group of smelters and refiners was present in its supply chain for the former Electrical business as was present in its supply chain for the Water business. Of the 327 legitimate smelters and refiners present in the Company’s supply chain for the calendar year 2018, 24 were identified as having sourced Subject Minerals from a Covered Country, all of which were verified as conformant with the RMAP. Of the remaining 303 legitimate smelters and refiners, the Company identified 232 as conformant with the RMAP and another 8 that were active with the RMAP (but not yet conformant). After following up with the relevant suppliers, to the best of its ability, the Company found that the remaining 63 valid smelters and refiners in its supply chain had not yet substantively engaged with the RMAP or other industry groups, but the Company found no reasonable basis to conclude these smelters and refiners may have sourced Subject Minerals from a Covered Country, that directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups.
| |
| 3. | Conflict Minerals Compliance Process |
During calendar year 2018, the Company took the following steps to improve the quality of its due diligence:
| |
| • | Continued our work with our suppliers to help them understand our expectations regarding the Subject Minerals in our supply chain and our suppliers’ due diligence of their own supply chains, including their ability to confirm the conflict-free status of identified smelters and refiners. |
| |
| • | Continued to emphasize to suppliers our expectation that they move toward sourcing exclusively from conflict-free smelters and refiners verified by the RMAP. |
| |
| • | For suppliers unable to immediately source from conflict-free smelters and refiners verified by the RMAP, requested that those suppliers develop, share and implement a mitigation plan to source exclusively from conflict-free smelters and refiners. |
| |
| • | Continued our engagement with industry groups, including the RMI, that support the adoption and improvement of relevant programs, tools and standards. |
During calendar year 2019, the Company plans to continue to refine the implementation of its 2018 initiatives to further improve the quality of its due diligence.
