CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF
DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM
JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2014

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I.
Introduction
This is the Conflict Minerals1 Report of Drew Industries Incorporated (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Drew,” or the “Company”) prepared for calendar year 2014 (except for conflict minerals that, prior to January 31, 2013, were located outside of the supply chain) in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1 of the Act and Form SD and the reader is referred to those sources, and also to Release No. 34-67716 (August 22, 2012) of the Act (the “Adopting Release”) for such definitions.
From 41 factories located throughout the United States and Canada, Drew, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc., supplies a broad array of components for the leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent supplies components for adjacent industries including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; modular housing; and factory-built mobile office units. Drew’s products include steel chassis; axles and suspension solutions; slide-out mechanisms and solutions; thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products; windows; manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer and leveling systems; chassis components; furniture and mattresses; entry, luggage, patio and ramp doors; electric and manual entry steps; awnings and slide toppers; other accessories; and electronic components.
In accordance with Rule 13p-1, we undertook efforts to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals in our products were or were not “DRC conflict-free.” We designed our efforts in conformity with the internationally recognized due diligence framework in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas2 (“OECD Due Diligence Guidance”) and related Supplements.
The statements below are based on the activities performed to date and in good faith by Drew and are based on the infrastructure and information available at the time of this filing. There are factors that could affect the accuracy of these statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier data or available smelter data, errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters, evolving definition and confirmation of smelters, incomplete information from industry or other third-party sources, continuing guidance regarding the SEC final rules, and other issues.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1 The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (a “Covered Country”).

II.
Design of Conflict Minerals Program

The Company designed its conflict minerals program to conform, in all material respects, with the five-step framework of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum, and Tungsten, and the Supplement on Gold, specifically as they relate to our position in the minerals supply chain as a “downstream” company:
Step 1:     Establish strong company management systems
Step 2:     Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
Step 3:     Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Step 4:    Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner's due diligence practices
Step 5:     Report annually on supply chain due diligence.
We relied upon multi-stakeholder initiatives that provide verification processes for conflict-free minerals from smelters or refiners who may provide those minerals to companies in our supply chain. The Company, as a purchaser of component parts, is many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals; the Company does not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals, and conducts no purchasing activities directly in the Covered Countries.
Drew also engaged Crowe Horwath, an international accounting and consulting firm, to assist in the design and implementation of our program. We utilized Crowe Horwath’s technology platform to communicate with our supply chain, collect Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates, and validate key information from our suppliers.
III.
Due Diligence Measures Performed by Drew
The following describes the measures taken to reasonably determine the country of origin and to exercise due diligence in the mineral supply chain in conformance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
a.
Conflict minerals team - Drew established a conflict minerals team that includes individuals from the appropriate business units and departments, including legal, information technology and purchasing. The team was structured to ensure critical information, including the Company policy, reached relevant suppliers.
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 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 establish a grievance mechanism as a risk-awareness system for conflict minerals issues. Stakeholders can communicate directly and confidentially with the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee.
e.
Records management - Drew will maintain records relating to our conflict minerals program in accordance with the recommended record retention guidelines.
Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
We performed the following steps as part of our risk assessment process:
a.
Identify products in scope - Our conflict minerals team conducted a detailed review of the products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period to identify products that should be deemed in-scope as described by the Adopting Release.
b.
Conduct Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) - Drew utilized the industry-developed Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) to query our suppliers for conflict minerals information. We requested this information from the Tier 1 suppliers who provide material and components for the products deemed in-scope by our conflict minerals team. We evaluated the responses from the templates submitted by our suppliers 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 worked to clarify and validate the information provided by our suppliers.
d.
Identify smelters/processors - Drew collected a list of smelters/processors that are in our supply chain by utilizing the CMRT. The Company reconciled this list to the list of smelter facilities designated by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict-Free Smelter Program. We have provided that list in this report.

Exhibit 1.01


Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
We performed the following steps as part of our risk management process:
a.
Designed and implemented a plan - Drew used established risk rating criteria to evaluate suppliers based on the responses provided within their CMRT as well as any additional documentation furnished to support those responses. The resulting risk ratings will be used to develop specific supplier outreach and education to address the identified risks.
b.
Verify smelters - As part of the risk mitigation process, the Company reconciled the list of smelters collected from suppliers to the list of smelter facilities designated as “conflict-free” by the CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program.
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner's due diligence practices
Drew is relying on the CFSI’s published lists to verify the conflict-free status of smelters/processors that source from Covered Countries.
Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
Drew has determined that a portion of the conflict minerals used to manufacture our products originated from the Covered Countries. Accordingly, this Conflict Minerals Report has been filed with the SEC and is available on our website at www.drewindustries.com (under the “SEC Filings” subcaption of our “Investor Relations” page).

IV.
Product Determination
On the basis of the measures described above, the Company has determined that all of our products manufactured as of December 31, 2014 are considered to be DRC conflict undeterminable.

V.
Product Description; Processing Facilities
Products - From 41 factories located throughout the United States and Canada, Drew, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc., supplies a broad array of components for the leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent supplies components for adjacent industries including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo; modular housing; and factory-built mobile office units. Drew’s products include steel chassis; axles and suspension solutions; slide-out mechanisms and solutions; thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products; windows; manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer and leveling systems; chassis components; furniture and mattresses; entry, luggage, patio and ramp doors; electric and manual entry steps; awnings and slide toppers; other accessories; and electronic components.

VI.
Future Due Diligence
We will continue to communicate our expectations and information requirements to our direct suppliers. Over time, we anticipate that the amount of information globally on the traceability and sourcing of these ores will increase and improve our knowledge. We will continue to make inquiries to our direct suppliers and undertake additional risk assessments when potentially relevant changes in facts or circumstances are identified. If we become aware of a supplier whose due diligence needs improvement, we may continue the trade relationship while that supplier improves its compliance program. We expect our suppliers to take similar measures with their suppliers to ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.
In addition to those above, the Company will undertake the following steps during the next compliance period:
•
Continue to collect responses from suppliers using the CMRT.
•
Monitor and track performance of risk mitigation efforts.
•
Compare and validate RCOI results to information collected via independent conflict-free smelter validation programs such as the CFSI.
•
Continue to allow verified conflict-free material from the region to enter our supply chain.
