I.

Introduction

Rockwell Automation is a leading global provider of industrial automation power, control and information solutions. The Company has two operating segments: Architecture & Software and Control Products & Solutions. The Architecture & Software segment contains all of the hardware, software and communication components of our integrated control and information architecture.    The Control Products & Solutions segment portfolio includes electro-mechanical and electronic motor starters, motor and circuit protection devices, AC/DC variable frequency drives, push buttons, signaling devices, termination and protection devices, relays, timers and condition sensors.

For calendar year 2018, Rockwell Automation considers all products sold to be in-scope and include:

 

   

Controllers, electronic operator interface devices, electronic input/output devices, communication and networking products industrial computers and Logix controllers.

 

   

Rotary and linear motion control products, sensors and machine safety components.

 

   

Low and medium voltage electro-mechanical and electronic motor starters, motor and circuit protection devices, AC/DC variable frequency drives, push buttons, signaling devices, termination and protection devices, relays, timers and condition sensors.

 

   

Packaged solutions such as configured drives and motor control centers and automation and information solutions for manufacturing applications.

Rockwell Automation’s supply chain is complex and there are multiple tiers between the Company and the mine. Rockwell Automation relies on its suppliers to provide information on the origin of the tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) necessary to the functionality or production of components that are included in Rockwell Automation products. Many Rockwell Automation products contain at least one of the 3TG minerals.

Rockwell Automation’s due diligence processes have been designed in conformance with the due diligence related steps of 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: Second Edition (OECD 2013), and related Supplements for gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten (OECD Framework).


II.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

OECD Step 1 – Establish strong company management systems

The Company incorporated leading practices from multi-industry initiatives such as MAPI (Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation), EICC (Electronic Industry Citizen Coalition) and GeSI (Global e-Sustainability Initiative) and RMI (Responsible Minerals Initiative) as a part of the development and execution of Rockwell Automation’s conflict minerals compliance program.

Company Policies – Rockwell Automation communicated conflict minerals expectations to suppliers and the public via a Conflict Minerals Supply Chain Statement and a Supplier Code of Conduct, which encourage suppliers to source responsibly, and are available at the following internet website: https://www.rockwellautomation.com/global/about-us/overview.page?pagetitle=Global-Supply-Chain-and-Sourcing&docid=619b0006865a65219b764413903d04ca (File Name: Rockwell Automation Conflict Minerals Supply Chain Statement, Supplier Code of Conduct).

Internal Management Team Rockwell Automation utilized an executive steering committee and relevant staff functions and technical experts (e.g. Legal, Purchasing, Strategic Sourcing, Chemistry & Materials Engineering) to support the Company’s Conflict Minerals program managed by the Strategic Sourcing Compliance Team.

System of Controls and Transparency Rockwell Automation adopted a conflict minerals transparency contract with the expectation that suppliers provide information regarding the origin of their 3TG in purchase orders and new contracts. The transparency contract language is inserted into existing contracts as they are renewed.

Conflict Minerals documentation was retained based on existing Rockwell Automation process for record retention requiring a 10 year retention period for regulatory filings.

Rockwell Automation used a data management tool to maintain conflict minerals information provided by suppliers.

Supplier EngagementRockwell Automation educated its applicable suppliers by providing general conflict minerals information, Responsible Minerals Initiative information, and links to additional resources to highlight requirements, resources available and the importance of conflict minerals investigations during the annual request for information (RFI).

Grievance Mechanism – Anyone can report violations of Rockwell Automation’s policies at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/about-us/sustainability-ethics/ombudsman.page

A secure and confidential service is provided by a third party at https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/43130/index.html

RCOI list creation and data collection – (not an OECD step)

Due to the complexity and size of its supply chain, Rockwell Automation developed a risk-based approach that focused on direct suppliers that it believed were likely to provide Rockwell Automation with components and/or raw materials containing tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG).

The smelters and refiners are consolidation points for raw ore and are in the best position in the total supply chain to know the origin of the ores. Rockwell Automation engages its suppliers and encourages them to inform their suppliers and/or smelters and refiners of 3TG supply chain transparency requirements.


Rockwell Automation provided updated training materials on its conflict minerals policies to internal Rockwell Automation employees (e.g. supplier quality, corporate purchasing, strategic sourcing, and compliance personnel).

Rockwell Automation did the following to identify sources of 3TG in its products:

 

   

Conducted a supply-chain survey with all direct suppliers that it believed were likely to provide components and raw materials containing 3TG.

 

   

These suppliers were identified based on their alignment with commodities of parts they supply, their supplier status and annual spend.

 

   

Inquiries requested the use of the template managed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative, known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the CMRT), to identify smelters and refiners in their supply chain.

 

   

Customized RFI communications were sent to suppliers who did not provide a requested CRMT in the previous year to get a better response rate.

 

   

Used an internal data collection team who made initial supplier requests, forwarded responses and/or questions to the Strategic Sourcing Compliance Team and tracked supplier responses.

 

   

Used an escalation process to drive supplier responses when required.

 

   

If suppliers did not respond in a designated time frame, the contact with suppliers was escalated to the related Buyers, Sourcing Managers, and ultimately, it was escalated to Sourcing Directors until resolved.

 

   

Reviewed supplier responses for reasonableness and completeness, and, where appropriate, further inquired of these suppliers to explain their reason for certain answers.

Rockwell Automation received responses back from 100% of these suppliers in 2018 (100% in 2017). Of those responding, 80% indicated they had 100% of their information (72% in 2017).

OECD Step 2 – Identify and assess risk in the supply chain

Rockwell Automation evaluated and assigned the supplier risk based on responses, their completeness and reasonableness evaluation, and their smelter list. Rockwell Automation used the Responsible Minerals Initiative information and general public information to determine a smelter or refiner’s country of origin.

Rockwell Automation executives were kept informed of potential risks through the Product Compliance Council meetings sponsored by the Chief Technology Officer.

III. Due Diligence Design and Performance

Due Diligence Design

Rockwell Automation’s due diligence processes were designed in conformance with the due diligence related steps of the OECD 2013 and OECD Framework.

Due Diligence Measures Performed

OECD Step 3 – Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

Rockwell Automation defines identified risk as the potential for a smelter to source from mines that support armed forces in the DRC region. It is not our intent to refrain from sourcing 3TG from the DRC region.


Rockwell Automation identified risk in the supply chain by supporting the audit strategy of 3TG smelters and refiners conducted by third parties through its participation in, and payment of membership dues to, the Responsible Minerals Initiative. Rockwell Automation became a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative in 2014. (RMI Member identification: RKWL)

New suppliers to Rockwell Automation were subjected to a New Supplier Audit process to understand their conflict minerals engagement. New and existing suppliers were evaluated based on their smelter and refiner information obtained from CMRT declarations and assigned a risk. Rockwell Automation used the Responsible Minerals Initiative information and general public information to determine a smelter or refiner’s conflict minerals status.

Rockwell Automation executives were kept informed of risk management actions through the Product Compliance Council meetings sponsored by the Chief Technology Officer.

There was no instance where it was necessary to implement risk mitigation or any corrective actions to suppliers in 2018 based on the suppliers’ assigned risk. Rockwell Automation’s risk mitigation process includes the following steps if smelters or refiners were identified as supporting armed forces activity.

 

   

Identify the Rockwell components and product affected by this supplier.

 

   

Identify specific components Rockwell Automation purchased from that supplier’s conflict source to determine whether corrective action is necessary.

 

   

Establish specific correction actions for each supplier and track actions.

 

   

If corrective action would be required and the supplier refuses to take actions to change that relationship (through either changing their suppliers or driving their suppliers to source only from conflict free sources) the supplier would be the subject of additional risk mitigation, which could result in suspended trade or disengagement from Rockwell Automation.

OECD Step 4 – Carry out an independent third-party audit of the supply chain due diligence.

Rockwell Automation, as a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative, supported the audit of smelters and refiners and RMI’s efforts to identify the country of origin of the smelter and refiner 3TG, as described in RMI website http://www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org/. Rockwell Automation encouraged its suppliers to become members of RMI during our annual request for information.

Rockwell Automation provides the RMI with any unidentified smelter / refiner information received from suppliers for RMI analysis.

OECD Step 5 – Report on supply chain due diligence

Rockwell Automation files its Conflict Minerals Report Form SD annually with the SEC. Rockwell Automation also publishes its Conflict Minerals Report on its website annually at https://www.rockwellautomation.com/global/about-us/overview.page?pagetitle=Global-Supply-Chain-and-Sourcing&docid=619b0006865a65219b764413903d04ca (Rockwell Automation Conflict Mineral SD Form 2017)


IV. Smelter and Refiner Disclosures

Facilities and Country of Origin of 3TG

Schedule 1 lists the smelters and refiners on the Rockwell Automation CMRT. Rockwell Automation’s CMRT smelter list contains smelters and refiners that have and have not been evaluated by the Responsible Minerals Initiative. Any smelters and refiners on the Rockwell Automation CMRT identified as sourcing from the DRC region were found to be conformant with the RMI assessment protocol. The data collection was completed as of April 30, 2019. The Rockwell Automation CMRT list was updated to reflect the facilities confirmed in the RMI CMRT Smelter Reference List. Rockwell Automation cannot verify that all the smelters identified contributed to parts that ended up in Rockwell Automation products based on the information provided by suppliers.

Schedule 2 lists the country of origin (CoO) of the 3TG processed by smelters verified by the Responsible Minerals Initiative and identified by the Rockwell Automation supply chain. All smelters and refiners who source from the DRC region that have been audited by the Responsible Minerals Initiative are conformant with the Responsible Minerals Initiative assessment protocol. The data collection was completed as of April 30, 2019. Rockwell Automation cannot verify that any of the 3TG processed by smelters in any of the countries identified in Schedule 2 contributed to parts that ended up in Rockwell Automation products based on the information provided by suppliers.

V. Future Measures

Rockwell Automation will undertake the following steps during the next compliance period:

 

   

Continue to support the Responsible Minerals Initiative and smelter audits through our membership and participation in subcommittees.

 

   

Continue to share unidentified smelter lists with Responsible Minerals Initiative to assist in identifying legitimate smelters and refiners.

 

   

Continue to direct suppliers to the Responsible Minerals Initiative organization for information, and encourage them to support the Responsible Minerals Initiative efforts through membership.

Schedule 1

Schedule 1 contains Responsible Minerals Initiative smelters and refiners identified by Rockwell Automation Supply Chain. Smelters and refiners with an asterisk (*) are conformant with the Responsible Minerals Initiative assessment protocol as of May 15th, 2019. All other smelters are either working with RMI to meet the RMI assessment protocol or have either never been audited or have not renewed their audit.
