I. | Introduction |
II. | Design of Conflict Minerals Program |
III. | Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) and Due Diligence Measures Performed by Drew |
a. | Conflict minerals team - Drew established a conflict minerals team that includes individuals from the appropriate business units and departments, including legal, finance, information technology and purchasing. The team was structured to ensure critical information reached relevant employees and suppliers regarding the required data collection and reporting processes. |
b. | Conflict minerals policy - Drew adopted and published a policy establishing the expectations of our suppliers. The policy can be found at http://drewindustries.com under the “Corporate Governance” subcaption of our “Investor Relations” page. It is periodically reviewed and will be updated, if necessary. |
c. | Supplier engagement - Drew engaged a consultant with expertise regarding conflict minerals reporting to assist with the due diligence and reporting process, and provided educational materials to our queried suppliers. Suppliers were provided information on the conflict minerals disclosure requirements as well as recommendations for developing, implementing, and documenting a conflict minerals compliance program. |
d. | Company level grievance mechanism - As recommended by the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, Drew updated its Whistleblower Policy to cover compliance with its Conflict Minerals Policy to provide a grievance mechanism as a risk-awareness system for conflict minerals issues. |
e. | Records management - Drew will maintain records relating to our conflict minerals program in accordance with the recommended record retention guidelines. |
a. | Identify products in scope - Our internal cross-functional conflict minerals team reviewed the products that are manufactured to determine those that should be deemed in-scope as described by the Adopting Release, and established a list of Tier 1 suppliers of materials and components used in such products. |
b. | Conduct Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) - Drew utilized the EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) to query our suppliers. We requested this information from our Tier 1 suppliers who provide material and components that are within the scope of the Adopting Release. We verified the completeness and reasonableness of the completed templates submitted by our suppliers, and evaluated the responses from the templates to determine our reporting obligation based on this RCOI. |
c. | Completed additional follow-up - Drew contacted direct suppliers that did not respond to our request for conflict minerals information by the requested date. We also allocated time to answering suppliers’ questions concerning conflict minerals, including questions related to Drew’s reporting requirement and the proper completion of the CMRT. |
d. | Identify smelters/processors - Drew has and will continue to collect a list of smelters/processors that are in our supply chain by utilizing the CMRT and other industry recognized methods/systems that may evolve. |
a. | Validate responses - Drew reviews the responses from our suppliers to determine that they are complete and provide the information necessary to identify the content and origin of minerals in our products. |
b. | Verify smelters - As part of the risk mitigation process, we compared the list of smelters/processors collected from suppliers and compared it to the conflict-free smelter lists published by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). |
c. | Provide progress reports to our senior management summarizing our risk mitigation efforts. |
