Modine Manufacturing Company
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2018
1.
Overview

This report for the year ended December 31, 2018 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”). The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”).

This report has been prepared by management of Modine Manufacturing Company (herein referred to as “Modine,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The information includes the activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint ventures

Modine specializes in providing innovative thermal management solutions to diversified global markets and customers.  We are a leading provider of engineered heat transfer systems and high-quality heat transfer components for use in on- and off-highway original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) vehicular applications.  In addition, we are a global leader in thermal management technology and solutions for sale into a wide array of commercial, industrial, and building heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (“HVAC&R”) markets.  Our primary product groups include: i) powertrain cooling and engine cooling; ii) coils, coolers, and coatings; and iii) heating, ventilation and air conditioning.  Our primary customers across the globe include: automobile, truck, bus, and specialty vehicle OEMs; agricultural, industrial and construction equipment OEMs; commercial and industrial equipment OEMs; heating, ventilation and cooling OEMs; construction architects and contractors; and wholesalers of heating equipment.  Modine is a global company headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin (USA) with operations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

We conducted an analysis of our products and concluded that small amounts of tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold (“3TG”) are present in a portion of our products.  In particular, we concluded that 3TG are present in the following Modine products: vehicular heat exchangers and modules containing tin-plated materials or tin-based solder, and HVAC products or systems containing some or all of the 3TG materials, in electronic devices in particular.

Conflict Minerals Policy

We have adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy.  This policy is publicly available on our website at www.modine.com/web/en/policies.htm.
 
Supply Chain
 
Modine manufactures and assembles its products using both raw materials and purchased parts acquired through our competitive global supply process.  Modine has over 1,500 direct material suppliers across the globe, and there are generally multiple tiers between the 3TG mines and our direct suppliers.  Therefore, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us – including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers. Contracts with our suppliers are frequently in force for multiple years and we cannot always unilaterally impose new contract terms and flow-down requirements. As we enter into new contracts we are requiring suppliers to provide information about the presence of conflict minerals in the products supplied and about the smelter sources of the conflict minerals. Our Conflict Minerals Policy is published on www.modine.com/web/en/policies.htm, and our Modine Global Supplier Manual (available at http://www.modine.com/web/en/reference-documents.htm) outlines our expectations for conflict-free supply.  We have implemented a survey process for assessing our current products and the supply chain associated with these components and materials that go into these products.

1

As further described in Section 2.3 of this Conflict Minerals Report, our survey process started with those suppliers who provided parts or components we believed were reasonably likely to contain 3TG.  We then modified the list to remove suppliers with whom Modine spent less than approximately $5,000 in 2018 based upon spend data through September 30, 2018 and our conclusion that the data did not materially change between then and December 31, 2018. We assessed our industry as well as others and confirmed that this risk-based approach is consistent with how many peer companies are approaching the Rule.

We requested that all identified suppliers provide information to us regarding 3TG and smelters, using the template provided by the Responsible Business Alliance (“RBA”) and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”), known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”).  The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and refiners (“SORs”) that provide material to a manufacturer’s supply chain.  It includes questions about a direct supplier’s conflict-free policy, its due diligence process, and information about its supply chain such as the names and locations of SORs as well as the origin of 3TG used by those facilities.

Efforts to Determine Mine or Location of Origin

Because of our size, the complexity of our products, and the depth, breadth and constant evolution of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify actors upstream from our direct suppliers.  We have determined that requesting our suppliers to complete the CMRT represents our reasonable best efforts to determine the mine or locations of origin of 3TG in our supply chain.  We have reached this conclusion in part as a result of our active participation in various industry initiatives and groups.   As a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) we have had access to updated smelter due diligence to improve our Reasonable Country of Origin Investigation (“RCOI”).   This membership has been valuable in our smelter classification and supply chain due diligence processes.

Smelters or Refiners and Country of Origin of 3TG

The supplier CMRT declarations we received mentioned approximately 404 potential smelters or supply chain participants.  Of these 404 entities, 314 have been identified and are being monitored by the RMI.  The remaining 90 entities have not been classified and will be the subject of future due diligence.

The 269 identified entities being monitored by the RMI can be categorized in the following manner:

We were unable to validate whether the 90 entities classified as Unidentified are smelters, refiners or intermediate supply chain companies.  We will continue our due diligence in 2019 to improve this unidentified classification.

Modine’s conflict minerals program has resulted in improved supply chain transparency to conflict minerals content and smelter sources.

3

The vast majority of suppliers from whom we requested information indicated in their responses that the information provided was at a company or divisional level as opposed to a product level.  We requested that the surveyed suppliers report at an aggregate company level, specifically with respect to any products sold to Modine.  We will continue to explore opportunities to engage in unique part number-level reporting in future years.

The Appendix to this report includes a list of countries of origin for 3TG reported to Modine.  The list is derived from the RMI analysis of potential countries of origin based on the information obtained through our due diligence.

Conclusion

We are unable with assurance to determine the origin of the 3TG in all of our products and therefore cannot exclude the possibility that some may have originated in the Covered Countries. For that reason, under the Rule we are required to submit to the SEC this Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) as an Exhibit to Form SD.

Due Diligence Process

2.1
Design of Due Diligence

Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, with the framework in The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) in the publication OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Second Edition, OECD Publishing (“OECD Guidance”) and the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten.

2.2
Management Systems

As described above, Modine has adopted a company policy relating to our sourcing of 3TG, which is posted on our website at   www.modine.com/web/en/policies.htm .

Internal Team

Modine’s management system for conflict minerals covering calendar year 2018 was sponsored by our Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, and Vice President, Global Operations, and was supported by a team of subject matter experts from relevant functions such as Operations, Purchasing, Engineering Systems and Services, Sales, Legal and Internal Audit. The team of subject matter experts was responsible for implementing our conflict minerals compliance strategy for calendar year 2018, and was led by the Vice President, Global Operations, who acted as the executive conflict minerals program manager. Senior management is briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts on a regular basis.

4

Control Systems

Since we do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG SORs, we are engaged and actively cooperate with other major manufacturers in our business sector and other sectors, through our own efforts and those organized by trade associations. We also participate in or actively monitor the following industry-wide initiatives to disclose upstream actors in the supply chain: RBA, RMI as well as several other manufacturing industry consortiums including the National Association of Manufacturers (“NAM”), the Automotive Industry Action Group (“AIAG”) and the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (“MAPI”).

Controls include, but are not limited to, our Code of Conduct (“Code”), which outlines expected behaviors for all Modine employees and third parties doing business with Modine, our Global Supplier Manual, our Conflict Minerals Policy, and our internal standard practices that govern our new product development processes.  We incorporate these controls into our standard supplier contract, the Modine Approved Supplier Agreement.

Supplier Engagement

With respect to the OECD requirement to strengthen engagement with suppliers, we have utilized the CMRT version 5.11 and the Assent Compliance Manager web-based reporting tool for collecting conflict minerals declarations from our supply base. The use of these tools has allowed us to assist our suppliers in understanding our expectations and requirements and increase the rate of responses we have received from our suppliers to our survey requests.  In this sixth year of conflict mineral reporting, we engaged Assent Compliance to assist with the training of suppliers and the collection of supplier CMRTs.  Assent Compliance has followed up with suppliers to ensure completion of CMRTs, and all communications with suppliers has been documented to reflect the degree of success of these efforts.

Grievance Mechanism

We have multiple, longstanding grievance mechanisms whereby employees and third parties can report violations of Modine’s policies. We have established a Global Policy regarding Reporting and Investigation, which is publicly available at www.modine.com/web/en/policies.htm . This policy establishes worldwide, consistent methods for employees and others to report any matters they believe may violate our Code or legal obligations, and for the investigation and resolution of all such reports.  Communication channels range from an employee’s immediate supervisor to a third-party-hosted Ethics Helpline to direct contact with Modine’s Business Ethics Committee.

Modine has included clear links to the Helpline and Code on our website, www.modine.com .  Through these mechanisms, third parties within our supply chain, or others related to or with knowledge of those third parties, can report any activities that could violate our Conflict Minerals Policy or the spirit of maintaining a conflict-free supply chain.

5

Maintain Records

We have adopted a policy to retain relevant documentation for a period of 5 years, consistent with the OECD requirement. Relevant documentation is collected and stored using a variety of methods, including, without limitation, an e-mail address designated for this purpose (conflictminerals@na.modine.com), a database maintained by Assent Compliance containing information provided by Modine’s supply chain, and an internal drive maintained by Modine for purposes of storing materials related to our conflict minerals due diligence and compliance.

2.3
Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

Because of our size, the complexity of our products, and the depth, breadth, and constant evolution of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify actors upstream from our direct suppliers. Accordingly, we participate in a number of industry-wide initiatives as described above.

In order to assess the risk of the presence of 3TG in the parts and materials Modine purchases, we first considered where, logically, 3TG necessary to functionality or production of our products might reside.  To accomplish this, we implemented a multilevel analysis that included the following:

1.
We reviewed material specifications (“M-Specs”) to identify those where 3TG is specifically called out as a necessary ingredient in the material.

2.
We queried the International Material Data System (“IMDS”), the automotive industry's material data system, which has become a global standard used by almost all of the global original equipment manufacturers for the tracking of material content in parts supplied to automotive industry.   IMDS provided another level of detail that might not be captured in our internal M-Specs.

3.
Using the information from steps 1 and 2, we queried our company enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems to identify suppliers who provided the materials containing 3TG in the 2018 calendar year.

4.
We utilized our purchasing global material group code spend analytics data to identify suppliers who provided electronic devices (e.g., wiring, motors, controls, sensors, etc.) that we considered to be at risk for containing 3TG.   We built on our learning from the previous years of conflict minerals due diligence and included suppliers determined to be at-risk for supplying product that may contain any conflict minerals.  Due to the nature of our supply chain, which includes distributors of electronic components, we engaged with several Tier 2 sub-suppliers to improve the reporting to our direct supplier distributors.

The multi-level analysis above yielded a list of 344 direct material suppliers that are supplying parts or materials to Modine that reasonably may contain 3TG. We rely on these suppliers to provide us with information about the existence and source of conflict minerals contained in the parts or materials supplied to us. Our direct suppliers similarly rely upon information provided by their suppliers.

We calculate supplier risk based on the chances that a supplier provides 3TG that may originate from non-conflict free sources. The value of this risk is calculated based on the risk ratings of the SORs declared by that supplier on their CMRT.

Additionally, suppliers are evaluated on program strength (further assisting in identifying risk in the supply chain). Evaluating and tracking the strength of the program can assist in making key risk mitigation decisions as the program progresses. The criteria used to evaluate the strength of the supplier’s program are:


Does the supplier have a policy in place that includes the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) conflict-free sourcing?


Has the supplier implemented due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing?


Does the supplier verify due diligence information received from its suppliers?


Does the supplier’s verification process include corrective action management?

When a supplier meets these criteria, the supplier is deemed to have a strong program. When a supplier does not meet these criteria, the supplier is deemed to have a weak program.

Assent provided each supplier a copy of the RBA reporting CMRT to complete for purposes of conflict minerals tracking. Assent and/or members of the Modine supply chain team made at least three follow-up inquiries to each supplier that did not respond to our initial survey, either by phone or email or both. The Assent software platform automatically reviewed the responses against criteria developed to determine which responses required further engagement with our suppliers. These criteria included incomplete responses as well as inconsistencies within the data reported in the CMRT. Assent worked directly with those suppliers to provide revised responses.

Once surveys were returned, Assent reviewed and attempted to match each verified SOR identified in the completed surveys to available lists of SORs that have been validated as conflict free under internationally-recognized schemes such as the RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process – “RMAP.”

6

If an SOR was not validated by RMAP, Assent either attempted to contact the SOR to gather more information about its sourcing practices or conducted Internet research to determine whether there are any additional publicly available sources of information regarding the SOR’s sourcing practices.

In accordance with OECD Guidelines, it is important to understand risk levels associated with conflict minerals in the supply chain. Smelters not being certified DRC-Conflict Free pose a significant risk to the supply chain. Each facility that meets the RMI definition of an SOR of a 3TG mineral is assigned a risk of high, medium or low based on 3 scoring criteria:


Geographic proximity to the DRC and covered countries;

RMAP audit status;

Known or plausible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing.

Per these criteria, the following facilities have been identified as being of highest concern to Modine’s supply chain:


Tony Goetz NV - CID002587

Kaloti Precious Metals - CID002563

Universal Precious Metals Refining Zambia - CID002854

Fidelity Printers and Refiners - CID002515

Sudan Gold Refinery - CID002567

African Gold Refinery Limited (AGR) - CID003185

When these facilities were reported on a CMRT by one of the suppliers surveyed, risk mitigation activities were initiated. Through Assent Compliance, submissions that include any of the above facilities immediately produce a receipt instructing the supplier to take their own risk mitigation actions, including submission of a product-specific CMRT to better identify the connection to products that they supply to Modine, up to removal of these high-risk smelters from their supply chain.

As per the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, risk mitigation will depend on the supplier’s specific context. Suppliers are given clear performance objectives within reasonable timeframes with the goal of progressive elimination of these risks from the supply chain.

In addition, suppliers are guided to the Assent University learning platform to engage in educational materials on mitigating the risk of SORs on the supply chain.

2.4
Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks

In response to this risk assessment, Modine continues to update and utilize a risk management plan, through which the conflict minerals program is implemented, managed and monitored.

7

As part of that risk management plan, updates to this risk assessment are provided regularly to senior management.

As described above, we participate in the following industry-wide initiatives to disclose upstream actors in the supply chain: The RMI, as well as several other manufacturing industry consortiums including NAM, AIAG, and MAPI.

As part of our risk management plan, to ensure suppliers understand our expectations, we have posted pertinent materials on our website, communicated directly with suppliers (orally and in writing), and included relevant information in our Global Supplier Manual.

In the event we have reason to believe any of our suppliers are supplying us with 3TG from sources that may support conflict in the DRC or any adjoining country, we would engage with any such suppliers and assist them to establish an alternative source of 3TG that does not support such conflict, as provided in the OECD guidance. We have found no instances where it was necessary to terminate a contract or find a replacement supplier due to possible violation of our Conflict Minerals Policy or the spirit of a conflict-free supply chain.

2.5
Carry Out Independent Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

We do not have a direct relationship with 3TG SORs nor do we perform direct audits of these entities.  However, we do rely upon various industry efforts to influence SORs to undergo audits and become certified, as appropriate.

Assent Compliance conducts outreach to all SORs that are not enrolled in the RMAP on behalf of Modine. The purpose of this outreach is to encourage participation in the RMAP and to inquire about the facility’s sourcing practices and infrastructure.

2.6
Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

In addition to this report, see our website at http://www.modine.com/web/en/supplier-policies.htm for further information about our supply chain due diligence and policies and practices.

3.
Due Diligence Results

Utilizing the process outlined above, we received responses from 75% of the 344 suppliers surveyed, and the results are reflected in the table titled “Smelter RMI Analysis Metrics” in Section 1, above.  We reviewed the responses to determine where further engagement with our suppliers was warranted. We considered untimely or incomplete responses as well as inconsistencies within the data reported in the template in making this determination.

8

4.
Steps To Be Taken To Mitigate Risk

We intend to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary conflict minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries:

 
a)
Continue to direct suppliers to training resources provided by Assent Compliance, including Assent University, to attempt to increase the response rate and improve the content of the supplier survey responses.
 
b)
Work with the OECD and relevant trade associations to define and improve best practices and build leverage over the supply chain in accordance with the OECD Guidance.
 
c)
Continue to encourage suppliers to provide part-level information.
 
d)
In the event that any of our suppliers are found to be providing Modine with products containing 3TG from sources that support conflict in the Covered Countries, work with them to remove such sources from the supply chain.
 
e)
Continue to invest in conflict minerals due diligence tools, such as Assent Compliance and the resources it provides.
