KVH Industries, Inc.

 

CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT

 

This Conflict Minerals Report of KVH Industries, Inc. (“KVH”, “we”, or “our”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

 

Rule 13p-1 and Form SD require companies to disclose certain information regarding products that they manufacture, or contract to manufacture, when: (a) those products contain one or more of the minerals gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, or wolframite, or their derivatives tantalum, tin, and tungsten (the “Conflict Minerals”); (b) those Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products; and (c) those Conflict Minerals originated, or may have originated, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or in a country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “Covered Countries”).

 

Section 1.  Product Review and Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

Section 1.1  Product Review

 

KVH conducted an analysis of its product lines and determined that Conflict Minerals are used in its system-level products and components.

 

Section 1.2  Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Conclusion

 

KVH’s international supply chain is complex.  KVH is several layers removed from the smelters in its supply chain, making it difficult to trace the origin of any Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of its products.  Due to the breadth and complexity of our products and supply chain, it will take time for many of our suppliers to verify the origin of all of the Conflict Minerals supplied to us.

 

For our 2015 reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), we reviewed our suppliers of direct materials, components and system-level products (collectively referred to as “Supplier Materials”). We generated internal reports analyzing all Supplier Material purchases for 2015 (“Total Supplier Spend”).  We then ranked each supplier based on the aggregate Total Supplier Spend.  We determined that suppliers with $50,000 or more in Total Supplier Spend accounted for 95% of Total Supplier Spend made by KVH during 2015, and determined that it would be reasonable to concentrate our RCOI efforts on this group of 70 suppliers. We refer to this group of suppliers as our “Primary Suppliers.”

 

We then elected to survey all our Primary Suppliers. For 2015, KVH did not exclude any suppliers based on the type of Supplier Materials sold to KVH. In taking this approach, the number of Primary Suppliers surveyed by KVH increased from 58 in 2014 to 70 in 2015.

 



 

In our 2015 RCOI, we surveyed our Primary Suppliers using the template circulated by KVH based upon the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) (the “Conflict Minerals Reporting Template”). KVH sent the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to all 70 Primary Suppliers and received 70 responses, which represented 100% of our targeted supplier group. Of the 70 responses received by KVH, 10 indicated that the Conflict Minerals used in Supplier Materials supplied to KVH came from “conflict-free” sources and furnished a list of their verified smelters; 36 confirmed that no Conflict Minerals were used in the Supplier Materials supplied to KVH; and 24 indicated that they were unsure of the origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Supplier Materials that they supplied to us.

 

Consequently, we concluded that for 2015, as in 2013 and 2014, we still do not have sufficient information from our suppliers or other sources to determine with specificity the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in our products or whether they are from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and are not from recycled or scrap sources.

 

Section 2.  Due Diligence

 

KVH’s due diligence efforts related 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 KVH; (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during 2015; and (iv) for which KVH was unable to form the basis for a reasonable belief that none of the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of those products originated in a Covered Country.  The products, which are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Covered Products,” include KVH’s mobile satellite communications products and components, as well as guidance and stabilization products and components.

 

Section 2.1  Design of KVH’s Due Diligence Measures

 

KVH designed its due diligence measures to conform to the framework set forth in the Organisation for 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”).

 

Section 2.2  Due Diligence Measures Performed by KVH

 

The due diligence processes followed by KVH are described below under sub-headings corresponding to the five-step framework of the OECD Guidance.

 

1.              Management Systems

 

We previously established and have maintained throughout 2015 internal processes for Conflict Minerals supply chain due diligence and reporting.  As part of that step, we implemented a Conflicts Minerals Policy Statement and related procedures to help support our supply chain due diligence efforts and communication processes designed to provide information, including our

 



 

Conflict Minerals Policy Statement, to our suppliers and to the public. In this regard, our supplier purchase contracts include terms and conditions and other contractual flow-downs requiring supplier cooperation and compliance with KVH’s due diligence efforts.  We also maintain a “Supplier Information” web page to facilitate supplier access to important documents, including but not limited to KVH’s Conflicts Minerals Policy Statement, Standard Terms and Conditions of Purchase and General Quality Clauses, each of which can be found on KVH’s “Supplier Information” page at http://www.kvh.com/suppliers.

 

For 2015, our efforts to identify smelters/refiners in our supply chain was facilitated through the use of due diligence tools created by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) founded by EICC and GeSI for independent third-party audit information, including the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. The information furnished by our Primary Suppliers was reviewed and analyzed by our internal team led by KVH’s Director of Global Supply Chain and retained within the company’s document retention system. The data obtained from our Primary Suppliers was vetted by our Global Supply Chain team and then used to generate a comprehensive list of all smelters/refiners that had been identified by our Primary Suppliers, which list was then cross-referenced against information from CFSI’s Conflict Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) to help use identify the compliant smelters/refiners and origin of minerals processed.

 

2.              Assessment of Risk in the Supply Chain

 

In order to determine the origin of Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products:

 

·                  We sent letters to our Primary Suppliers, explaining the rule and referring the suppliers to online training materials and instructions, and solicited survey responses using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.

·                  We sent follow-up emails to the Primary Suppliers to remind them of the response requirement and deadline of September 30, 2015, covering Supplier Materials delivered through the reporting period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

·                  Having received responses from 40 of the 70 Primary Suppliers by the end of the third quarter of 2015, our Global Supply Chain team sent additional follow-up emails to all non-responsive Primary Suppliers on October 30, November 3, 25 and 30 and December 9, 2015.

·                  During the fourth quarter of 2015, we contacted all remaining non-responsive Primary Suppliers directly by telephone to inquire as to the expected completion date of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.

·                  By January 1, 2016, KVH had received responses from 65 of the 70 Primary Suppliers, and over the next 10 weeks, KVH’s Director of Global Supply Chain made weekly telephone calls to the remaining 5 Primary Suppliers, and, on March 4, 2016, KVH had received responses from all 70 of its Primary Suppliers.

·                  Having received responses from 100% of our Primary Suppliers, KVH then reviewed the responses in detail and followed up on any incomplete or ambiguous responses.

·                  KVH then compared the smelters/refiners identified by its Primary Suppliers against the list of facilities that have received a “conflict-free” designation from the CFSI’s CFSP, which designations provide country of origin and due diligence information on the Conflict Minerals sourced by such facilities.

 



 

·                  In cross-referencing the data we received from our Primary Suppliers against the information published by the CFSI, we were able to develop a risk-based approach designed to focus on the pool of Primary Suppliers that submitted incomplete data concerning their mineral sourcing, as these suppliers were deemed to constitute a higher risk.

 

3.              Strategies to Respond to Identified Risks

 

KVH’s due diligence efforts are an evolving process that we strive to improve by: (i) focusing on the reliability and quality of the information received from our Primary Suppliers; (ii) reviewing responses and following up on incomplete, inaccurate or ambiguous data; and (iii) maintaining internal processes designed to emphasize the importance of supplier cooperation and compliance with our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement through readily accessible policies and contractual flow-down clauses governing the business relationship, which not only provide us with leverage to promote compliance but also the flexibility needed to reassess and/or terminate certain relationships, as appropriate.

 

4.              Independent Third-Party Audits

 

As a result of KVH’s position in the supply chain, there are generally several tiers of suppliers between KVH and the smelters/refiners in our supply chain, and therefore we do not conduct or commission independent third-party audits of the smelters and refiners from which our Primary Suppliers source Conflict Minerals.  KVH has relied upon industry initiatives, including the CFSI, for independent third-party audit information.

 

5.              Reporting

 

With the preparation and submission of this Conflict Minerals Report, KVH has provided a public report of its due diligence measures with regard to the sourcing of Conflict Minerals.  A copy of this report is available at http://www.kvh.com/secfilings.

 

Section 3.  Results of Due Diligence

 

The response rate among our Primary Suppliers in 2015 was 100%. Among the responses, some of our Primary Suppliers were unable to identify any of the smelters or refiners used in the Supplier Materials supplied to us and certain responses also included names of smelters or refiners that we believe may have been incomplete or misidentified. Such names have not been included among the list of smelters and refiners identified by our Primary Suppliers in Annex 1 below. In total, we identified approximately 258 smelters as potential sources of Conflict Minerals that were reported to be in the supply chain at some point during the 2015 calendar year. The table below presents the total number of identified smelters or refiners for each mineral and the corresponding percentage of each group that we have been able to verify as conflict-free according to information provided on the CFSI website.

For the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products, KVH’s due diligence efforts failed to clarify whether the Conflict Minerals contained in those products may have originated in a Covered Country or came from recycled or scrap sources. Furthermore, we were unable to validate that any of the smelters or refiners identified by our Primary Suppliers are actually in our supply chain. KVH has therefore concluded that we do not have sufficient information to determine with specificity the country of origin of all of the Conflict Minerals in our Covered Products or whether they are from recycled or scrap sources. However, based on the information received from our Primary Suppliers, KVH believes that the facilities that may have been used to process Conflict Minerals in our Covered Products include the smelters and refiners listed in Annex 1 below.

 

Section 4.  Future Steps to Improve Due Diligence

 

In order to improve our due diligence process and compliance efforts for 2016, KVH intends to:

 

·                  Continue to gather additional information which will assist us in determining whether the Conflict Minerals we utilize benefit armed groups contributing to human rights violations;

·                  Continue to collect and evaluate supplier responses and follow-up with those suppliers that we have deemed to be a higher risk due to incomplete or ambiguous responses; and

·                  Continue to review, and, if necessary, reassess supplier relationships based on information and resources provided by third-party conflict minerals audit programs such as the CFSI’s Conflict Free Smelter Program and other industry initiatives promoting responsible mineral sourcing practices.

 

KVH will continue to expect our suppliers to reasonably assure us that the minerals in the products they supply are conflict free.

 

Section 5.  Forward Looking Statements

 

This report includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including for example statements regarding our due diligence processes with respect to Conflict Minerals. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. KVH assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.
