Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report
For the Year Ended December 31, 2016
This is the Conflict Minerals Report (this Report) of Powell Industries, Inc. (referred to herein as, Powell, the Company, we, us or our) for calendar year 2016 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Please refer to Section 13(p) of the Exchange Act and the general instructions to the Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD for definitions of certain terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein.
This Report for the year ended December 31, 2016 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Exchange Act (the Rule). The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 Dodd-Frank Act). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict Minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold. For the purposes of this Report, tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold shall be collectively referred to as the 3TGs. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.
Company Overview
We develop design, manufacture and service custom-engineered equipment and systems for the distribution, control and monitoring of electrical energy. Certain conflict minerals (as defined in Item 1.01(d)(3) of Form SD), specifically gold, tin, tungsten and tantalum are used in the production of our custom-engineered equipment. Accordingly, pursuant to the Rule, we conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) regarding such conflict minerals designed to determine whether any of such conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country (collectively, Covered Countries), or are from recycled or scrap sources.
Product Description
Our broad and complex product range may contain conflict minerals within the following components:
|
| |
• | Tantalum, used in capacitors, |
• | Tin, used in soldered components, |
• | Tungsten, used in coatings, alloys, heating elements and electrodes, |
• | Gold, used in circuit boards, electrodes and electronic components. |
Description of RCOI
In conducting the RCOI, Powell engaged Assent Compliance (Assent) to assist with the effectiveness of our conflict minerals program. We identified the scope of our inquiry by first completing a supplier list extraction from our preferred vendor list. This list was then filtered to remove service providers, indirect materials suppliers and inactive suppliers (minimum of one year since last purchase). This was intended to ensure that all suppliers surveyed provided items to Powell that were used in final products in the year 2016. Once the filtering was completed, we populated the list with contact information. This list, composed of 912 suppliers, was then provided to Assent for upload to their Assent Compliance Manager software system (the Assent Compliance Manager).
Assent conducted the supplier survey portion of the RCOI. The supplier survey utilized a template developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), and initiative by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition® and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (EICC/GeSI), called the Conflict Mineral Report Template (CMRT). The CMRT was developed to facilitate general disclosures and information regarding smelters that provide materials to the supplier. It includes questions regarding the supplier’s conflict-free minerals policy, the engagement process with its direct suppliers and identification of the smelters used by the supplier.
Non-responsive suppliers were contacted a minimum of three times by the Assent Compliance Manager and then were also managed by the Assent Compliance Supply Chain team in one-on-one communications. This included two to three follow ups from the supply chain team. After three months of non-responsiveness, suppliers were then contacted via email with Powell procurement team members copied, as an escalation to encourage their response to Assent.
Assent communications included training and education on the completion of the CMRT form as well as access to a Assent’s learning management system, Assent University. All in-scope suppliers were provided access to [a Conflict Minerals Training course as part of Assent University and this training was monitored and tracked in Assent's system for future reporting and transparency.
Due Diligence Process
Powell’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, with the framework in 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 and the related supplements for 3TG (collectively, the OECD Guidance), which generally consists of the following five steps: (i) Establish strong company management systems; (ii) Identify and assess risks in the supply chain; (iii) Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks; (iv) Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner's due diligence practices; and (v) Report annually on supply chain due diligence. In 2016, the due diligence process was aimed to help Powell assess and respond to risk in its supply chain by investigating the source of its products down the chain to the smelters and refiners and the strength of its suppliers’ conflict minerals programs. The following is a brief summary of certain aspects of our due diligence process.
|
| |
| A. | Step 1: Establish Strong Powell Management Systems |
In accordance with our due diligence framework and compliance efforts:
|
| | | |
| | • | | We have communicated to all of our in-scope suppliers our efforts to comply with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act pursuant to a compliance statement and other communications (together, the Compliance Statement). We requested that our in-scope suppliers provide a comprehensive conflict minerals declaration for all conflict minerals in the form of the CMRT v.4.10 or higher. We provide our Compliance Statement to all new suppliers and plan to provide annual related compliance statement communications to our entire supply base. |
| | • | | We implemented internal compliance efforts, including internal reporting requirements, to support our supply chain due diligence process. |
| | • | | We implemented a risk mitigation response plan to address business relationships with suppliers that are DRC conflict undeterminable (as defined in Item 1.01(d)(5) of Form SD). Our program includes continuous monitoring to adjust our strategies as sourcing data improves and new information is received. |
Powell has adopted a company policy with respect to conflict minerals which is posted on our website at www.powellind.com. Select the section entitled “Our Company”, then “Supply Chain.”
Internal Team
Powell has established a management system for conflict minerals. Our management system is sponsored by the Chief Financial Officer as well as executive-level representatives and a team of subject matter experts from relevant functions, such as our Supply Chain Director, Corporate Controller, Vice President of Research and Product Development, and Supply Base Manager.
The team of subject matter experts is responsible for implementing our conflict minerals compliance strategy and senior management is briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts.
Control Systems
Controls include, but are not limited to, our code of conduct which outlines expected behaviors for all Powell employees and a conflict minerals policy which can be found on our website at www.powellind.com. Select the section entitled “Our Company”, then “Supply Chain.”
We rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us – including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers. Contracts with our suppliers are frequently in force for three to five years or more and we cannot unilaterally impose new contract terms and flow-down requirements. As we enter into new contracts, or our contracts renew, we are adding a clause to require suppliers to provide information about the source of 3TG and smelters. It will take a number of years to ensure that all our supplier contracts contain appropriate flow-down clauses. In the meantime, as described below, we are working with selected suppliers to ensure they provide the 3TG sourcing information until the contracts can be amended.
Supplier Engagement
With respect to the OECD requirement to strengthen engagement with suppliers, we have, through Assent, provided education on the conflict minerals regulation. We have leveraged the existing communications within the Company, specifically the procurement department, to encourage supplier interactions with Assent as well as to help suppliers understand the requirement for completion of their CMRTs. Feedback from this engagement has allowed us to enhance the training and focus and adapt it to each user’s needs. It has also allowed for our supplier communications to be more focused and to clarify expectations.
Grievance Mechanisms
We have multiple longstanding grievance mechanisms whereby employees and suppliers can report violations of Powell’s policies. Our emergency number can be found at www.powellind.com under the section entitled “Contact Us.”
Maintain Records
We have also adopted a policy to retain relevant documentation. Such documentation will be retained for minimum of five years.
|
| |
| B. | Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in Our Supply Chain |
We identified direct material suppliers to capture possible 3TG risk suppliers. As we progress, we expect that transparency in our supply chain will increase to allow for better risk assessment at more detailed levels of our supply chain. We intend to continue communicating with our suppliers regarding conflict minerals.
Based on assessed risks, our RCOI covered applicable suppliers.
Each facility that meets the CFSI definition of a smelter or refiner of a 3TG mineral is assigned a risk of High, Medium or Low based on 3 scoring criteria:
| |
| • | Geographic proximity to the DRC and Covered Countries; |
| |
| • | Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) audit status; |
| |
| • | Known or plausible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing. |
When a facility is reported on a CMRT by one of the suppliers surveyed, risk mitigation activities are initiated. Through our third-party vendor, Assent, submissions that include any reported facilities produce a receipt instructing the supplier to take their own risk mitigation actions, including submission of a product specific CMRT to better identify the connection to products that they supply to Powell. As per the OECD Guidance, risk mitigation will depend on the supplier’s specific context. In addition, suppliers are guided to the Assent University learning platform to engage in educational materials on mitigating the risk of smelters or refiners on the supply chain.
|
| |
| C. | Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks |
We believe that our RCOI was reasonably designed and executed in good faith to determine the existence and source of the 3TGs in our supply chain, including from recycled or scrap sources (as defined in Item 1.01(d)(6) of Form SD). We utilized the CMRT template v4.10 or higher for our RCOI. We conducted our effort to send surveys in good faith, utilizing up to three rounds of communications with our suppliers. We evaluated survey responses to identify: (i) the use and source of the 3TGs; and (ii) any warning signs indicating that conflict minerals may have come from one of the Covered Countries. We intend to make additional inquiries on a case-by-case basis during 2017 to clarify or obtain more information as necessary. We tracked results of our supply chain diligence process and periodically reported the results to our executive leadership team.
Because of Powell’s size, the complexity of its products, and the depth, breadth, and constant evolution of its supply chain, it is difficult to identify parties upstream from its direct suppliers. Powell continues to work with suppliers to identify the upstream sources of the 3TGs through the CMRTs, follow up on invalid responses on the CMRTs, use risk-based assessments of identified smelters and assess the conflict minerals programs of its suppliers, as described below in this Report. Information and findings from this process are stored in the Assent Compliance Manager, a database that can be tracked and audited.
Certain of the responses to the surveys included the names of facilities listed by the suppliers as smelters or refiners. We do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. We and our consultant compared these facilities listed in the responses to the list of smelters maintained by the CFSI and, if a supplier indicated that the facility was certified as “Conflict-Free,” we confirmed that the name was listed by CFSI.
In accordance with OECD Guidance, it is important to understand risk levels associated with conflict minerals in the supply chain. Smelters not being certified DRC-Conflict Free pose a significant risk to the supply chain. In the Assent Compliance Manager, risk is classified as High, Medium and Low based on the three scoring criteria outlined under "Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in Our Supply Chain."
Powell does not have a direct relationship with conflict minerals smelters and refiners and, as a result, does not perform or direct audits of these entities within its supply chain. Powell captured smelter and refiner information as part of the CMRT, as some suppliers provided
the names of facilities it used as smelters or refiners. Assent compared the facilities identified by the suppliers to the list of smelters maintained by the CFSI.
Additionally, suppliers are evaluated on program strength (further assisting in identifying risk in the supply chain). At this stage in conflict minerals compliance it is well-known that many companies are in the middle of the process and do not have many answers beyond “unknown”. The criteria used to evaluate the strength of the program are:
A. Do you have a policy in place that includes DRC conflict-free sourcing?
E. Have you implemented due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing?
H. Do you verify due diligence information received from your suppliers?
I. Does your verification process include corrective action management?
When suppliers meet or exceed those criteria (Yes to at least A, E, H, I) they are deemed to have a strong program. When suppliers do not meet those criteria, they are deemed to have a weak program.
We believe that the inquiries and investigations described above represent a reasonable effort to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TGs in our applicable products, including (1) seeking information about 3TG smelters and refiners in our supply chain by requesting that our suppliers complete the CMRT, (2) verifying those smelters and refiners with the expanding CFSI lists, (3) conducting the due diligence review and (4) obtaining additional documentation and verification, as applicable. As mentioned above, our existing policy related to relevant documentation of our conflict mineral compliance process requires that documentation will be retained for a period of at least five years.
|
| |
| D. | Step 4: Implement Targeted Independent Third-Party Due Diligence |
We engaged Assent to assist in the RCOI, data collection and survey process. Assent supports industry associations that administer independent third-party smelter and refinery audit programs and encourages targeted suppliers and/or facilities to participate in comparable due diligence validation activities.
|
| |
| E. | Step 5: Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence |
We have responded to various customer requests for information regarding our conflict minerals determination.
Powell reports annually on supply chain due diligence by filing a Form SD and a Conflict Minerals Report with the SEC. We also disclose our company policy with respect to conflict minerals on our website at www.powellind.com. Select the section entitled “Our Company”, then “Supply Chain.”
Due Diligence Results
For the 2016 reporting year, Powell received CMRT forms from 72% of the suppliers surveyed. All submitted forms are accepted and classified as valid or invalid in order to retain all data. Suppliers were contacted if they submitted invalid forms and were encouraged to resubmit a valid form. As of April 28, 2017, there were 43 invalid supplier submissions.
While due diligence is ongoing and the information received continues to improve in quantity and quality, the majority of the responses received provided data at a company or divisional level or did not specify the smelters or refiners used for materials specifically supplied to us. We have decided to disclose validated smelters provided to us by our supply chain. However, we cannot definitively determine whether any of the 3TGs reported by the suppliers were contained in materials supplied to us or to validate that any of these smelters or refiners are actually in our supply chain. As a result, we are unable to identify all smelters and refiners as well as all the countries of origin of the 3TGs that are contained in the applicable products
As of April 28 2016, Powell validated 317 smelters or refiners identified within its supply chain. If a supplier indicated that the facility was certified as “conflict-free,” such status was confirmed by Assent if the facility was listed by the CFSI as certified.
Many suppliers within Powell’s supply chain are still unable to provide the smelters or refiners used for products supplied. Furthermore, many of the suppliers provided responses at the company or division level and indicated an “unknown” status in terms of determining the origin of the 3TGs. The CMRTs submitted by suppliers that do not list at least one smelter for each 3TG claimed on the CMRT are
considered invalid and Assent follows up on these, urging suppliers to resubmit with increased smelter information. There are still suppliers unable to provide the smelters or refiners used for materials supplied to us.
In cases where any high-risk smelters were reported on a CMRT by a supplier, risk mitigation activities were initiated. Through Assent, the suppliers were asked to submit a product-level CMRT to better identify the connection between the smelters or refiners they listed and the products they provide to us. Suppliers were also guided to Assent University where they were provided with educational materials on mitigating the risk of smelters or refiners in the supply chain.
Appendix I lists the smelters and refiners that the suppliers we surveyed reported as being in their supply chains. We have not listed in Appendix I any smelters or refiners that we have not been able to validate. Appendix I also includes an aggregated list of the countries of origin from which the reported facilities collectively source conflict minerals, based on information provided by suppliers and CFSI. Powell supports the refinement and expansion of the list of participating smelters through our membership in the CFSI program.
The large majority of the responses received either provided data at a company or subsidiary level and chose not to provide information at the component level, or did not specify the smelters or refiners used for components supplied to Powell. Accordingly, we are unable to determine, in those cases, whether any of the 3TGs reported by the suppliers were contained in components or parts supplied to us, or to validate that any of the smelters or refiners identified are actually in our supply chain.
Steps to Improve Future Due Diligence and Supply Chain Risk Mitigation
Powell intends to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary conflict minerals in its products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
| |
| • | Include a conflict minerals flow-down clause in new or renewed supplier contracts. |
| |
| • | Continue engagement with suppliers and direct them to training resources to increase the response rate and improve the content of the supplier survey responses. |
| |
| • | Engage any suppliers found to be supplying Powell with conflict minerals to establish an alternative source of conflict minerals that does not support the conflict in the Covered Countries. |
| |
| • | Define and improve best practices and build leverage over its supply chain in accordance with the OECD Guidance. |
Based on its due diligence process as of the date of this Report, Powell has found no instances where it was necessary to terminate a supplier contract or to find a replacement supply of any conflict minerals.
