Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report of Wabtec Corporation
In Accord with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
This is the Conflict Minerals Report of Wabtec for the calendar year 2015. Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1 and Form SD and the reader is referred to those sources and to 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 (August 22, 2012) for such definitions.
In accord with Rule 13p-1, Wabtec undertook due diligence to seek to determine whether the necessary 3TG in the Specialty Products and Electronics; Brake Products; Remanufacturing, Overhaul and Build; and Transit Products business segments originated from the DRC and adjoining countries. Wabtec designed its due diligence measures to be in conformity, in all material respects, with the recognized OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Framework”).
As a result of our due diligence efforts Wabtec has concluded in good faith that during 2015, with respect to any product manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by Wabtec; that Wabtec is unable to definitively determine whether or not the 3TG included in our products originated from the Covered Countries.
This Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.
Wabtec’s due diligence measures included:
• | Conducted a supply-chain survey with direct suppliers using the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to identify the smelters and refiners who contribute refined 3TG to Wabtec products. |
• | The identified smelters and refiners resulting from the supply chain survey were compared to the facilities found on the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) list published by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). |
• | Conflict minerals records are retained per our record retention protocol. |
• | Standard language regarding conflict minerals has been integrated into our supplier contracts ensuring due diligence participation and compliance. |
As a result of Wabtec’s due diligence efforts, we have identified and obtained sourcing information on 193 of the smelters, refiners and distributors who contribute to our Specialty and Electronic; Brake Products; Remanufacturing, Overhaul and Build; and Transit Products business segments. Of the 193 identified smelters, refiners and distributors, 150 are found on the CFSP as of May 31, 2016. The following is a summary of all supply-chain survey respondents.

On the basis of the due diligence measures described above, Wabtec is unable to definitively determine whether or not the 3TG contained in various components/materials which contribute to Specialty Products and Electronic; Brake Products; Remanufacturing, Overhaul and Build; and Transit Products business segments originated from the DRC or adjoining countries. Wabtec is making this determination because it does not have sufficient information from suppliers or other sources to conclude whether the necessary 3TG originated in the Covered Countries and, whether the necessary 3TG were from recycle or scrap sources.
Further, Wabtec as a purchaser is many steps removed from the mining of the conflict minerals; Wabtec does not purchase raw ore or unrefined tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold, and does no purchasing in the Covered Countries. The origin of 3TG cannot be determined with any certainty once the raw ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other 3TG containing derivatives. The smelters and refiners are consolidating points for raw ore and are in the best position in the total supply chain to know the origin of the ores.
Wabtec will undertake the following steps during the next compliance periods to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate the risk that its necessary 3TG do not benefit armed groups, including:
• | Increase supplier compliance by requiring answering the RCOI via Wabtec’s Supply Chain Compliance software which will increase the response rate and quality of the suppliers’ supply chain surveys; and aid in determining if further due diligence is required. |
• | Continue to compare RCOI results to information collected via independent conflict free smelter validation programs such as the CFSI Conflict Free Smelter program. |
• | When a supplier is found not to be utilizing a CFSI certified smelter or refiner, Wabtec will send a notification requesting the supplier to convert to a certified smelter or refiner. |
