CNH Industrial N.V.

Conflict Minerals Report

For The Year Ended December 31, 2018

 

I.

Overview

This report has been prepared by CNH Industrial N.V. (herein referred to as “CNH Industrial,” or the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). References to internet websites herein are provided only as required by the Rule and information available through these websites is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD.

We are a leading global capital goods company engaged in the design, production, marketing, sale and financing of agricultural and construction equipment, trucks, commercial vehicles, buses and specialty vehicles for firefighting, defense and other uses, as well as engines, transmissions and axles for those vehicles and engines for marine and power generation applications. We have industrial and financial services companies located in 44 countries and a commercial presence in approximately 180 countries around the world.

Our principal products include agricultural and construction equipment, commercial vehicles and engines, transmissions and axles. Tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“3TG”) can be found in all of our products.

Our products are highly complex, typically containing thousands of parts from many direct suppliers. We have relationships with a vast network of suppliers throughout the world. Many of our suppliers are located outside the United States and include foreign entities that are not subject to the Rule. In addition, there are generally multiple tiers between the 3TG mines and our suppliers. Therefore, we must rely on our direct suppliers to work with their upstream suppliers to provide us with accurate information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials purchased by us.

 

II.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”)

We conducted an inquiry of our suppliers to determine the country of origin of the components provided to CNH Industrial. Measures taken to make the determination were in accordance with Step 2 of the Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals From Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) and its supplements for tin, tantalum, and tungsten and gold (“OECD Guidance”). Our RCOI comprised identification of relevant suppliers and a survey of those suppliers.

Because of the scope and complexity of our supply chain, we developed a risk-based approach that focused on our major direct suppliers as well as direct suppliers that we believed were likely to provide us with components containing 3TG (collectively, the “Surveyed Suppliers”). Surveyed Suppliers represented approximately 85% of the purchases (by dollar value) that we made for goods from suppliers. For purposes of this report, the “Covered Countries” means the Democratic Republic of Congo (the “DRC”) and its adjoining countries.

We requested that all Surveyed Suppliers provide information to us regarding 3TG and smelters using the template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “Template”). The Template is a free, standardized reporting template that facilitates disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and refiners that provide 3TG to a manufacturer’s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a direct supplier’s conflict-free policy and its due diligence process, and requests information about its supply chain such as the names and locations of smelters and refiners as well as the origin of 3TG used by such smelters and refiners. The information we receive is submitted into an electronic database to facilitate information analysis.

OECD Step 1. Establish Strong Company Management Systems

Conflict Minerals Policy

We have adopted a conflict minerals policy that is publicly available on our website at

http://www.cnhindustrial.com/en-us/governance/policies_and_guidelines/Pages/sustainability_guidelines.aspx

Internal Team

We have established a management system to support supply chain due diligence related to goods that may contain 3TG. Our management system includes a cross-functional executive steering committee sponsored by senior legal and compliance staff, and a team of subject matter experts from functions such as purchasing, parts and service and internal audit. A working group, reporting to the Steering Committee, was formed to develop and implement a Conflict Minerals compliance program approved by the Steering Committee.

Control Systems

We do not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners; therefore, we rely on suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in the components and materials supplied to us. We are a member of RMI (RMI Member Code: CNHI). RMI serves as a resource for companies from a range of industries to help them make sourcing decisions that improve regulatory compliance and support responsible sourcing from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. RMI program initiatives include the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”), which identifies smelters and refiners that source minerals in conformance with RMAP, and the Template. We use the Template in our RCOI and RMAP data and information in our identification and assessment of risks in the supply chain.

Supplier Engagement

We have engaged our direct suppliers through direct communication, including multiple communications regarding the Rule. We provided the Surveyed Suppliers with instructions for responding to the Template and access to a conflict minerals compliance e-mail address, monitored by a member of the Conflict Minerals working group, which Surveyed Suppliers could use to seek assistance in interpreting and completing the Template. Our standard purchase order terms and conditions and purchase agreements require our suppliers to provide us with supporting information and documentation evidencing due diligence of 3TG in their respective supply chains. We have adopted and made available to our suppliers a Supplier Code of Conduct that requires, among other things, all suppliers to exercise due diligence, in accordance with the OECD Guidance, on its entire supply chain with respect to the sourcing of all 3TG to determine whether those metals are from the Covered Countries and, if so, to determine whether those metals directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups that are perpetrators of serious human rights abuses in the Covered Countries.

Grievance Mechanism

We have processes to collect and act on concerns expressed by employees and others about possible improper or unethical business practices, violations of company policies (including our Code of Conduct, the Supplier Code of Conduct and Conflict Minerals Policy) or applicable laws. This grievance mechanism is described in our Conflict Minerals Policy.

OECD Step 2. Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

Our method for determining the country of origin of 3TG contained in our products was to conduct a supply-chain survey with Surveyed Suppliers using the Template. We have implemented a third-party software solution to collect and manage supplier CMRT data. We use this third-party solution to track communications with suppliers, analyze the CMRT data provided by suppliers, aggregate the supplier CMRT data for our reporting, and follow up with any supplier whose CMRT data we identified to contain incomplete or potentially inaccurate data. We rely on our suppliers to provide information on the origin of 3TG contained in the components and materials supplied to us. These suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers. Smelters and refiners identified by a supplier in response to our supply-chain survey are compared against the RMI list to identify and assist in assessing the risk that the 3TG used in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries.

III.

Due Diligence Design and Performance

Design of Due Diligence

Pursuant to the Rule, we performed due diligence on the source and country of origin of 3TG in our products, including the goods we purchase from suppliers. Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform with the due diligence framework presented in the OECD Guidance.

Due Diligence Performed

The due diligence measures we performed are presented below according to the five-step framework established by the OECD.

OECD Step 3. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

 

   

The Steering Committee is periodically briefed about our due diligence efforts.

 

   

We have adopted a conflict minerals policy.

 

   

Suppliers are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct that requires, among other things, all suppliers to exercise due diligence, in accordance with the OECD Guidance, on its entire supply chain with respect to the sourcing of all 3TG to determine whether those metals are from the Covered Countries and, if so, to determine whether those metals directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups that are perpetrators of serious human rights abuses in the Covered Countries.

 

   

We follow-up with the Surveyed Suppliers that provide incomplete or inconsistent responses.

 

   

We follow up with Surveyed Suppliers who listed non-compliant or uncertified smelters or refiners in their CMRT.

OECD Step 4. Carry Out Independent Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence At Identified Points In The Supply Chain

We support audits of 3TG smelters and refiners conducted by third parties through our participation in RMI. RMI developed the RMAP, which uses an independent third-party audit to identify smelters and refiners that have management systems and sourcing practices in place to conform with RMAP protocols and global standards.

OECD Step 5. Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

This Conflict Minerals Report constitutes our annual report on our 3TG due diligence, is available in our website http://www.cnhindustrial.com/en-us/investor_relations/regulatory_filings/Pages/SEC_filings.aspx    and is filed with the SEC.

 

IV.

Due Diligence Results:

Survey Responses

We reviewed the Surveyed Supplier responses, including those not provided on the Template, to determine whether further engagement was necessary. When reviewing the Surveyed Supplier responses, we focused on incomplete responses as well as inconsistencies within the data reported by those suppliers. We worked directly with such suppliers in an effort to secure revised responses.

The vast majority of the responses received provided data only with respect to the supplier’s overall 3TG sourcing, without specifying if the 3TG was used in the specific goods supplied to us. Consequently, we cannot be certain that the smelters or refiners identified by the vast majority of our Surveyed Suppliers supplied 3TG to us rather than to other customers of that Surveyed Supplier.

 

3


A minority of responses listed specific smelters or refiners. Such responses collectively identified 294 unique facilities as identified by the RMI, of which 253 were included on the RMAP Conformant Smelters and Refiners List. We also identified 40 smelters or refiners that may be sourcing from the Covered Countries and may not have been from recycled or scrap resources. All 40 of these processing facilities have been validated as compliant with RMAP protocols. Please see Attachment A for a list of smelters and refiners reported to us by the Surveyed Suppliers that listed specific smelters or refiners. The smelters or refiners listed in Attachment A may have processed the 3TG necessary for our products, but we do not have sufficient information to determine that is the case. While there have been improvements in the systems of transparency and control for the sourcing of necessary 3TG, these results are not unexpected, especially given our downstream position as a manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment, commercial vehicles and engines.

Efforts to Determine Mine or Location of Origin

We requested our suppliers complete the Template, which includes questions regarding the locations of smelters and refiners or origin for the minerals. When a supplier cannot directly obtain information beyond smelter or refiner name, we consult the RMI to determine the country of origin and whether the smelter or refiner has been validated as RMAP conformant.

Expected Future Actions

Going forward, we intend to build on our efforts in 2018 and continue working with our suppliers to improve the quality of the information provided. We also intend to continue to participate in RMI meetings in order to gather best practices and collaborate with industry peers.

Attachment A

The processing facilities listed in the table below represent the smelters and refiners provided by the Surveyed Suppliers that provided a list of smelters or refiners. The smelters or refiners may have processed the 3TG necessary for our products, but we do not have sufficient information to determine with certainty that is the case. Additionally, we are unable to conclusively determine the country of origin information for our necessary 3TG, but based on the data gathered from RMI, we believe that the sources may include the countries listed following the table.
