CYNOSURE, INC.
Conflict Minerals Report
For the reporting period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014
This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of Cynosure, Inc. has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the reporting period January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals, which we collectively refer to in this Report as the “Conflict Minerals,” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries” for purposes of the Rule and the this report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.
Description of the Company’s Products Covered by this Report
This Report relates to products: (i) for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of that product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company; and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during the calendar year 2014.
These products, which are referred to in this Report collectively as the “Covered Products,” are the following: all laser and light-based systems manufactured by or for the Company.
The Company’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence Process
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
The Company has conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the Conflict Minerals. This reasonable country of origin inquiry was designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the Conflict Minerals are from recycled or scrap sources. Based on its reasonable country of origin inquiry, the Company has reason to believe that its products contain Conflict Minerals that may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not have originated from recycled or scrap sources. As a result, the Company also exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals.
Design of Due Diligence and Due Diligence Performed
The Company’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform to the framework in theOrganization for the Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas; Second Edition,including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”). These due diligence measures include the following:
The Company adopted a Conflict Minerals policy relating to Conflict Minerals (the “Company Policy”), which is available on its website athttp://governance.cynosure.com/, in accordance with the OECD Guidance. The Company Policy states:
Cynosure is committed to the ethical sourcing of minerals used in our products. Our goal is to refrain from purchasing Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries for our products except for those materials that are processed at a facility that has been certified by an independent third party as “conflict free”. We are assessing whether our products contain Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries; however, the global supply chain for Conflict Minerals is complex, and tracing the minerals in our products to their source is a challenge. Cynosure is working diligently with our suppliers and other stakeholders to improve and systematically address the process for sourcing minerals that are “conflict free.”
If you have questions or concerns contact us atConflict_Minerals@cynosure.com / (978) 256-4200.
The Company also established an internal team to manage the conflict mineral due diligence process. This team is comprised of members of our engineering, supply chain management (purchasing), manufacturing, quality, legal and executive teams.
In addition, as described below, the Company conducted a supply chain survey using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT 3.0”), requesting that in-scope suppliers identify smelters and refiners, as well as the countries of origin, of the Conflict Minerals in the products supplied to the Company.
The Company’s supply chain with respect to the Covered Products is complex, and there are many third parties in the supply chain between the ultimate manufacturer of the Covered Products and the original sources of the Conflict Minerals. In this regard, the Company does not purchase Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners. The Company must therefore rely on its suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of the Conflict Minerals that are included in the Covered Products. Moreover, the Company believes that the smelters and refiners of the Conflict Minerals are best situated to identify the sources of Conflict Minerals, and therefore has taken steps to identify the applicable smelters and refiners of Conflict Minerals in the Company’s supply chain. To make this identification, the Company engaged a third party company (the “Third Party”) to survey our suppliers. Using a list of suppliers provided by the Company, the Third Party provided a risk analysis and provided an analysis report that details the number of the Company’s suppliers that are out of scope, and the number of in-scope suppliers that match the Third Party current database. Approximately thirty-nine per cent (39%) of the Company’s suppliers were deemed out of scope.
The Third Party sent requests to each in-scope supplier via electronic mail to complete the CMRT 3.0 and requested suppliers who already provided the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “EICC Form”) in 2013 to resubmit in the latest CMRT format. To increase suppliers’ response rate and quality of survey data, the Third Party provided training material to all in-scope suppliers, including the SEC Final Rule on Conflict Minerals, Responsible Supply Chain Management information, and the latest Reporting Template – CMRT Form.
In many cases, the Third Party required additional communications with the supplier in order to complete the CMRT Form. Currently, many of the returned CMRT Forms remain incomplete despite multiple communications with the Third Party. In addition, in some cases, the suppliers did not respond to the survey. In these cases, the Third Party sent a second request by electronic mail two weeks following the first request and, as necessary, sent a third request by electronic mail a week later. Following these steps, the Third Party attempted to contact non-responsive suppliers by telephone. In certain cases, the Third Party initially lacked sufficient information to contact the suppliers to request that the CMRT Form be completed and contacted the Company for additional information in this regard.
For those responses received, the Third Party reviewed to determine whether the declarations were company level, division level or product family level. If the declaration was not deemed company level, the Company made a determination whether additional inquiries were required.
In addition, for each response received from a supplier, the Third Party examined the smelter declaration and made the following categorizations with regard to whether each smelter:
• | sourced from recycled or scrap only; |
• | mined from the Covered Counties or not; |
• | is located in the Covered Counties or not; |
• | is on the current compliant list developed by the Conflict Free Smelter “(CFS”) program. |
The Third Party then engaged in a comprehensive data verification process and examined the completeness of each response and identified any contradictions. The Third Party followed up with the suppliers as needed for clarification or correction of the issues and if no resolution was able to be reached, the Third Party would escalate the issue to the Company. The Company would then contact the supplier directly.
Results of Due Diligence
The Company was able to collect complete responses regarding smelters and refiners and the countries of origin of the Company’s necessary Conflict Minerals from 590 suppliers out of a total of 1152 suppliers, a substantial increase from 2013. The Company also received an additional 108 responses that, while providing some of the requested information, were deemed incomplete by the Third Party and Company. After reviewing these responses, the Company believes that the facilities that may have been used to process the Company’s necessary Conflict Minerals include the smelters and refiners listed in Annex A. In addition, based on the information received, the Company believes that the countries of origin of its necessary Conflict Minerals may include the countries listed in Annex B. Even with the information we were able to collect from suppliers, because suppliers often cannot trace Conflict Minerals in components sold to the Company to particular smelters and refiners, the Company is unable to connect the Covered Products to particular smelters and refiners. For this reason, as well as the lack of responsiveness from many of the our suppliers, the Company is not able to conclusively determine whether or not the Conflict Minerals contained in its Covered Products originated in Covered Countries.
Mitigation Steps
The Company expects to continue to work with the Third Party to improve its due diligence measures and to further mitigate the risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Company’s Covered Products benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. In this regard, the Company intends to continue working diligently with our current suppliers to assess whether Conflict Minerals contained in our products are from Covered Countries and if so, if they are “conflict free” as certified by independent third parties and, where such assessment cannot be confirmed, seek new suppliers who can confirm such assessment.
