Conflict Minerals Report

Introduction

Our subsidiaries manufacture, market and sell various specialty chemical product lines, including high-quality specialty paints, protective coatings, roofing systems, sealants, adhesives and cleaners as well as nail polish, carpet cleaning, structure drying and dehumidifying hardware products focusing on the maintenance and improvement needs of both the industrial and consumer markets. Our family of products includes those marketed under brand names such as API, Carboline, CAVE, DAP, Day-Glo, Dri-Eaz, Euclid, EUCO, Fibergrate, Flecto, Flowcrete, Grupo PV, Hummervoll, illbruck, Mohawk, Rust-Oleum, Stonhard, TCI, Toxement, Tremco, Tuf-Strand, Universal Sealants, Viapol, Watco and Zinsser. As of May 31, 2016, our subsidiaries marketed products in approximately 164 countries and territories and operate manufacturing facilities in approximately 120 locations in the United States, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

After evaluating our diverse product lines, we have determined that the only products we manufacture that may contain conflict minerals are our carpet / hard surface floor cleaning, structure drying and dehumidifying hardware products and relatively small quatities of our nail polish products (“Scoped Products”). After conducting a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) of the relevant direct raw material suppliers of our Scoped Products and in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1), we are filing this Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”).

Part I. Due Diligence

A. RCOI

As part of our endeavors to improve efficiency and to continue to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its Conflict Minerals provisions (the “Regulations”), in May 2015 we revised our Conflict Minerals Policy (our “Policy”), which is publicly available at www.rpminc.com/ConflictMinerals/. Our Policy requires an initial procedure whereby all of our manufacturing companies must identify which direct raw material suppliers in their supply chains during the relevant reporting period may have supplied them with material containing one or more conflict minerals (“Relevant Suppliers”). A RCOI, as more fully described below, is then conducted on all relevant materials from such Relevant Suppliers and the suppliers’ responses are reviewed.

Requests for information were sent to all Relevant Suppliers by the responsible representatives associated with the Scoped Products. Through mid-May 2017, the responsible representatives associated with the Scoped Products ensured that follow-up email, and in some cases telephonic, reminders were sent to Relevant Suppliers who did not respond to initial inquiries, in order to help obtain maximum participation from all Relevant Suppliers. For most of our Scoped Products, we developed internally and used an Information Systems Interface (“IT Interface”) to track the requests for information submitted to our suppliers as well as any responses those suppliers provided. Through this method, suppliers were asked to provide responses using the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (hereinafter referred to as the “CMRT”). In many cases, the IT Interface allowed suppliers to upload a completed CMRT into the IT Interface. When that was not possible or preferred by the supplier, the responsible representatives associated with the Scoped Products received the CMRT or other information from the supplier via email and then uploaded that information into the IT Interface.

The CMRT includes questions about each supplier’s conflict minerals policy and inquiries about each supplier’s RCOI or due diligence procedures related to conflict minerals sourcing. Furthermore, the CMRT requests the identification of known smelters used to process any disclosed conflict minerals.

Due to the small number of relevant suppliers associated with nail polish, that business unit’s responsible representative did not require the use of the IT Interface and independently contacted the relevant suppliers and reported relevant information and responses back to RPM. We determined that the only releveant mineral that may be contained within our nail polish is gold.

 

1


Gold would have only been provided by one supplier, and any gold, if used, would only have been used in a relatively small number of nail polish products manufactured during calendar year 2016 and when and if used, only in extremely small amounts.

We reviewed the responses from all Relevant Suppliers.

B. Due Diligence Conducted on the Scoped Products’ 3TG Minerals Chain of Custody

 

  1. Framework

As in the past, we referred to the Second Edition of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Due Diligence Framework”) and applied that internationally recognized framework to conduct our due diligence efforts. That framework incorporated and included the RCOI procedures.

 

  2. Due Diligence Measures Performed

In accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Framework we incorporated the following measures during our due diligence of the Scoped Products:

 

  a) Policy: Based upon lessons learned after the Conflict Minerals process used for the calendar year 2013 and 2014 reporting periods, and based upon professional guidance received from subject-matter experts, in May 2015 we revised our Policy to more effectively identify whether (1) we may have any conflict minerals in any of our products, and (2) if so, to identify whether any conflict minerals contained in our products originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or its adjoining countries (“DRC Region”). A review of that policy during calendar year 2016 did not disclose any reason to modify said policy for the calendar year 2016 reporting period. This Policy is applicable to all of our subsidiaries and identifies the procedures each subsidiary must incorporate for internal communications, as well as communications with their suppliers and customers to ensure compliance with the Regulations. The Policy is publically available at www.rpminc.com/ConflictMinerals/.

 

  b) Internal Management Structure: Compliance with the Policy is supervised by RPM’s Director of Global Compliance, and the Policy is intended to be administered and implemented by RPM’s Global Strategic Sourcing Team (“GSST”), a committee composed of the senior purchasing agents representing most of our subsidiaries. Details regarding the direct management and internal and external communication requirements are described in the Policy, which is publically available, and under the RCOI section above, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Due to the limited amount of business units associated with the Scope Products for this 2016 reporting period RPM’s Director of Global Compliance assumed the functions normally resident with the GSST and administered and implemented the Policy directly with the responsible representatives of the Scoped Products.

 

  c) Controls, Transparency, Engagement with Suppliers and Customers: Due to our decentralized operations, the Policy requires each subsidiary company to first identify whether any of its direct raw material suppliers may have provided it with products containing a conflict mineral during the relevant reporting period. If so, then the subsidiary company must identify a person responsible to conduct the RCOI and due diligence for the subsidiary company and to communicate with that company’s identified suppliers and maintain close coordination with RPM’s Director of Global Compliance regarding conflict minerals matters. As the Scoped Products are finished products which are not used as direct raw materials by any of our known customers, follow-on engagement with relevant customers was not a factor during the 2016 reporting period.

 

  d) Company Level Grievance Mechanism: As the Policy is applicable to all of our subsidiary companies, any violation of the Policy may be reported by anyone in accordance with our Values & Expectations of 168, which are adopted as our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”). Options for disclosure under the Code include, but are not limited to, contacting RPM’s Hotline where permitted by law.

 

2


  Additionally, the Policy requires the subsidiary company representatives to report to RPM’s Director of Global Compliance any non-responsive suppliers if that information is not otherwise available to them. The Code is publically available at www.rpminc.com/about-rpm/worldwide-code-guidelines/ and instructions for the Hotline are available at www.rpminc.com/hotline/.

 

  e) Identification and Assessment of Risk in the Supply Chain: Based upon the relatively small number of Scoped Products as compared to the rest of our product lines, as well as the relatively small percentage of the global supply of conflict minerals originating from the DRC Region, we believe that the risk that any suppliers are providing any conflict minerals to us that benefit the conflict in the DRC Region is remote. However, pursuant to our Policy and as part of the RCOI process, we asked all Relevant Suppliers to respond to the CMRT questions. Therefore, during the RCOI process, all Relevant Suppliers are asked to answer questions designed to determine whether they in fact provide non-recycled/non-scrap tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold (“3TG Minerals”) to our subsidiary companies and if so, whether they know from which smelters their 3TG Minerals have been processed. All Relevant Suppliers are also asked to identify what, if any, conflict free policies and due diligence procedures they have in place. Questions related to smelters and to their due diligence procedures are required as part of applicable post-RCOI due diligence requirements, and are asked along with the RCOI questions in order to expedite due diligence process and limit the volume of required communications with any individual supplier who may have provided 3TG Minerals that may be contained in a Scoped Product.

 

  f) Design to Respond to Identified Risks: Through the IT Interface (for all Scoped Products other than nail polish), as well as direct communications between RPM’s Director of Global Compliance and subsidiary company responsible representatives of the Scoped Products, we established procedures whereby responses from Relevant Suppliers can be identified if a response rises to the level that causes someone to believe that a 3TG Mineral from the DRC Region could be contained in one of our products. When that occurs, review of the entirety of the due diligence portion of the questionnaire submitted by the Relevant Supplier is evaluated by an RPM representative or the relevant subsidiary company’s conflict minerals representative, and if needed, the Relevant Supplier will be contacted in order to clarify answers and to further identify smelters, the chain of custody of the direct material and to attempt to determine whether any mineral may have benefited the conflict in the DRC Region. Furthermore, in accordance with the Policy, any non-responsive suppliers may be ultimately considered by the GSST and the management of any applicable subsidiary for actions designed to mitigate any future risks of non-compliant behavior by a supplier that is related to conflict minerals.

 

  g) Follow-up with Relevant Suppliers: During the RCOI process we received written responses from many Relevant Suppliers of direct materials used to manufacture our Scoped Products. We used the due diligence measures described above with respect to these suppliers. Specifically, we reviewed the answers to all questions from the original questionnaires answered by those suppliers. Moreover, when the due diligence section of the questionnaire was not clear, we asked additional and specific questions of suppliers in an attempt to identify any smelters used to process their supplied direct materials and to determine if through their due diligence efforts the suppliers determined whether the sourced direct raw materials did in fact originate from the DRC Region, and if so if they could conclude whether any sourced minerals benefited the armed conflict in that region. A few suppliers identified smelters they believed may source from the DRC Region, however, often it was difficult to determine whether the response from these suppliers was product-specific and exclusively covered products purchased by us, or whether it applied to the full spectrum of products they manufacture or sell. Therefore it was not possible to determine whether the declarations of possible sourcing from the DRC Region were connected to any of our Scoped Products. Additionally, as was the case last year, many suppliers listed smelters of which we have been unable to determine whether those smelters source from the DRC Region.

  3. Independent Private Sector Audit

Based upon SEC guidance, an independent private sector audit of the due diligence framework conducted by us is not required for this CMR.

 

  4. Risk Mitigation/Future Due Diligence Measures

As previously mentioned for the 2016 reporting period, we chose to terminate our use of a third party provider and refined the internally created IT Interface first used for the 2013 reporting period. As previously stated the business unit that manufactures nail polish did not use the IT Interface this year, but that business unit will be required to use that interface for the 2017 reporting period if any of their products may contain 3TG Minerals during that period. We found the internally created IT Interface to be better suited to the needs and processes RPM has adopted in its Policy. However, as has been historically demonstrated since the 2013 reporting period, the information gathering process and the consolidation of collected information from suppliers is difficult and obtaining meaningful and relevant answers from suppliers is a cumbersome process. Therefore, we continue to evaluate all options to gain greater flexibility and efficiencies. We believe that the current IT Interface facilitates the ability of subsidiary company responsible personnel on both the customer and supplier side to personally review the data collected from Relevant Suppliers and that it is a positive step towards increasing transparency and engagement with suppliers and customers, and thus currently this is a capacity that we seek to maintain for the 2017 reporting period.

A recurrent issue that we continue to attempt to mitigate is that many suppliers continue to be overburdened with the type, detail and number of inquiries, and therefore they continue to provide a “company-wide” response to specific inquiries (i.e., they provide responses that cover all of their products combined rather than specific responses for the distinct products sold to our subsidiary companies). Consequently, these suppliers have difficulty and are often reluctant to address specific questions related to a particular product purchased from them. For these suppliers, many of which are distributors and not manufacturers, responses indicating that 3TG Minerals are present and may have come from the DRC region only identify that one or more of their products may have Conflict Minerals implications, but such responses do not identify whether any one or more of the materials they supplied to us contains 3TG Minerals. In effect, these suppliers “over report” the existence of a 3TG Mineral and often identify smelters that may have no connection to direct raw materials we purchased from them. Therefore, such responses are not very informative or helpful. As in the past we continue to educate these suppliers and engage the purchasing representatives from our subsidiary manufacturers who have Relevant Suppliers to facilitate that education. However education alone may be insufficient. In some instances these suppliers are not located within the U.S. and may feel as though the law is wholly inapplicable to them, are not manufacturers, deal with hundreds of suppliers and manufacturers themselves, and/or are unfamiliar with the reporting obligations of publicly traded companies in the U.S.

1  On or about September 2014, the United States Department of Commerce published what it categorized as the “most comprehensive list to date of all known processing facilities [including smelters and refiners] in the world.” Department of Commerce Reporting Requirements Under Section 1502(d)(3)(C) of the Dodd-Frank Act World-Wide Conflict Minerals Reporting Facilities. That list identifies the following approximate number of processing facilities for each metal: 139 Gold, 68 Tantalum, 132 Tin, and 95 Tungsten. In response to our inquiries, Relevant Suppliers listed smelters that are not included within the list created by the United States Department of Commerce. However, in this CMR we list all reported “smelters” by our Relevant Suppliers that could potentially be pertinent to our Scoped Products regardless of whether those “smelters” were identified by the United States Department of Commerce.
