 Conflict Minerals Report

 

 

This Report has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”) for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2015. The Company is a leading supplier of oilfield services, products, technology and systems to the worldwide oil and natural gas industry. The Company also provides industrial products and services to the downstream chemicals, and process and pipeline industries. The Company conducts our operations through subsidiaries, affiliates, ventures and alliances. The Company operates in more than 80 countries around the world and the corporate headquarters is in Houston, Texas.

 

The Company’s supply chain is both global and complex, and there are multiple tiers of suppliers between the Company and the original sources of minerals used in the Company’s products. Therefore, the Company relied on its direct suppliers to provide us information about the origin of conflict minerals in the raw materials and components we purchase for use in the manufacture of or contracts to manufacture products that we offer for sale.

 

The Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (each a “forward-looking statement”). The words “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “estimate,” “project,” “foresee,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “would,” “may,” “probable,” “likely,” and similar expressions, and the negative thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings available through the Company’s website at: www.bakerhughes.com/investor or through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system at: www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

 

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

Management Systems

 

The Company is committed to the responsible sourcing of raw materials and components necessary to the production or functionality of our products for sale, and we have publicly posted this policy. The policy, including the commitment to establishing a conflict-free supply chain, may be found at

 

http://www.bakerhughes.com/company/corporate-social-responsibility/human-rights-and-security/conflict-minerals.

 

In accordance with Rule 13p-1, the Company undertook a reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine the origin of the conflict minerals necessary to the production or functionality of the products we offer for sale for the reporting period. The Company undertook the following as part of that inquiry:

 

·created a Conflict Minerals Steering Council, composed of executive- and management-level representatives from Finance, Strategic Sourcing, Investor Relations, Global Supply Chain, Strategic Sourcing, Legal, Audit, Corporate Social Responsibility, Supplier Quality, and Global Trade Compliance;

 

·incorporated our Conflict Minerals policy in our Master Supplier Agreement template for use with new and renewed contracts with suppliers;

 

·utilized the Company’s existing mechanisms for reporting Conflict Minerals concerns, allowing contact by telephone, email, and online, for both the public and internal reportees;

 

·informed relevant suppliers of the Company’s expectations regarding supplier Conflict Minerals policy, due diligence processes, and responses to the Company’s requests for information;

 

·identified those products which we manufactured or contracted to manufacture that we reasonably believed contained one or more conflict minerals (defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold collectively, the “Conflict Minerals” or sometimes “conflict minerals” or ”3TGs”), by first eliminating those products which were clearly not subject to Rule 13p-1, including tool rentals, service-only, chemicals, and fluids;

 

 

 

·using lessons learned during the previous reporting period, we expanded our project scoping process to help ensure we have identified all relevant raw materials or components used in the manufacture or contract for manufacture of the products specifically identified in the step above;

 

·identified 2645 suppliers which provided the materials or components specifically identified in the previous step;

 

·engaged the services of a third-party conflict minerals service provider to create and maintain a supplier engagement portal;

 

·using the third-party conflict minerals service provider’s technology platform, contacted the identified suppliers;

 

·informed relevant suppliers of the Company’s conflict minerals policy and our expectation for compliance with that policy and their cooperation in developing conflict minerals data;

 

·requested these suppliers to determine which of the materials or components they provided to the Company contained one or more conflict minerals;

 

·requested these suppliers to in turn require their suppliers to comply with the Company’s conflict minerals requirements;

 

·requested these suppliers to develop a company policy and management system with respect to conflict minerals and to require their suppliers to in turn adopt similar policies and systems;

 

·informed these suppliers of the informational and instructional materials available on our third-party conflict minerals service provider’s Conflict Minerals Resource Center web page, pertaining to the conflict minerals regulation, the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) questionnaire, and due diligence guidelines;

 

·requested from these suppliers confirmation of the presence of every necessary conflict mineral in the raw materials or components they supplied to the Company, and information regarding the origin of those minerals;

 

·established a deadline of March 31, 2016 to provide the requested conflict minerals information and documentation;

 

·followed up with unresponsive suppliers to request compliance with the Company’s requests for information and documentation, until the stated deadline by sending up to three e-mailed messages by the Company’s third-party service provider, and attempting at least two phone calls by the third-party service provider in cases when e-mail contact was unsuccessful;

 

·reviewed the responses compiled for each responding supplier to determine existence of a Conflict Minerals policy, due diligence process and passed through requirements for successive supplier tiers;

 

·reviewed the responses compiled for each responding supplier to determine which Smelter or Refiner (“SORs”) were the source of necessary conflict minerals contained in the raw materials or components supplied to the Company;

 

·received completed questionnaires from 47% of the identified suppliers contacted by our third-party conflict minerals service provider;

 

·received completed questionnaires with part-level data pertaining to 56% of the identified materials or components, which represents an expansion of detail over reporting period 2014; and

 

·increased by 121% the identification of total SORs in the Company’s supply chain over reporting period 2014, and increased by 59% the identification of total conflict-free SORs over reporting period 2014, both increases due, in part, to the Company’s change in project scoping process using lessons learned during the previous reporting period.

 

The Company has also participated in monthly Responsible Sourcing Network Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG) calls and periodic Oil and Gas Services Working Group (OGSWG) meetings, as well as attended various webinars and participation in two panel discussions at the 3rd Conflict Minerals Reporting & Supply Chain Transparency Conference, to enable us to consider best practices and to explore opportunities to participate in responsible sourcing and supply chain transparency.

 

The Company’s responding relevant suppliers identified 338 SORs believed to be the source of necessary conflict minerals contained in the raw materials or components supplied to the Company. Of those supplier-identified SORs, 57 potentially sourced minerals or ores from the DRC Region, requiring due diligence on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals. These SORs are more fully described in the table located in Schedule 2 below.

 

The due diligence undertaken is more fully described below.

 

1 

 

Design of Due Diligence

 

The Company’s due diligence was designed in conformance with the due diligence related steps of a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework, specifically, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Second Edition).

 

Due Diligence Measures Undertaken

 

Identification and Assessment of Risks in the Supply Chain

 

The Company determined that approximately 17% of the identified SORs in our global supply chain required due diligence on source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals ultimately provided to the Company, based upon the applicability of one or more criteria:

 

·reported sourcing conflict minerals from the conflict area;

 

·provided data on SORs that self-report sourcing from a mine located in the conflict area;

 

·provided data on SORs that were reported by independent entities to source from a mine located in the conflict area;

 

·indicated that the SOR named by the supplier passed materials through a known or suspected country for smuggling, export out of other countries, or the transit of materials containing conflict minerals; or

 

·provided information about an SOR indicating the origin of the materials was not from a country known to hold reserves.

 

Response to Identified Risks

 

The Company undertook the following measures in its exercise of due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals:

 

·independently verified all SOR information submitted by suppliers in their CMRTs, checking it against the third-party conflict minerals service provider’s independent smelter research, including:

 

omerged duplicate submissions following verification of overlapping company information;

 

oeliminated submissions with garbage characters and obvious misspellings;

 

ovalidated named entities as actual SORs; and

 

oconfirmed that each facility is a legitimate SOR of 3TGs;

 

·gathered information on legitimate SORs in the SOR databases from several sources, including without limitation the third-party service provider’s independent research, Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), the US Department of Commerce (DoC), and the US Geological Survey (USGS) (the “Third-Party Database”);

 

·if a supplier did not provide a proper identification number issued by a validating entity, such as CFSI or LBMA, we requested the supplier provide the following information:

 

othe metal processed by the facility;

 

othe city, province/state and country where the facility is located;

 

othe name and email address for the designated contact at the facility;

 

othe recycled and scrap status of metals, minerals or ores processed by the facility;

 

oif the facility sources all of its metals, minerals or ores solely from recycled or scrap materials, the country of origin of those materials; and

 

oif the facility does not source all materials solely from recycled or scrap providers, the location of mines from which the facility sources its metals, minerals or ores;

 

·labelled as “Valid” those SOR submissions from suppliers that match the Third-Party Database of legitimate SORs and performed additional verification:

 

owhether the SOR has been audited by one or more recognized certification entities, such as CFSI, LBMA, DMCC, or RJC, and if not, whether they undergo another form of an independent audit; and

 

2 

 

othose SORs that have not undergone a certification audit are asked if they plan to undertake a certification process in the future;

 

·labelled as "Invalid" those SORs submitted by a supplier that match the Third-Party Database list of facilities known not to be a legitimate facility, or a common erroneous or inoperative name;

 

·labelled as "Undetermined” those SORs submitted by a supplier that do not match either the legitimate or non-legitimate lists in the Third-Party Database;

 

·suppliers that submit SOR names determined to be Invalid or Undetermined are requested to correct or amend the pertinent information;

 

·for each Valid SOR, assigned a risk rating of Low, Medium or High, based on the following factors:

 

owhether the facility has or has not already successfully undergone a certification audit by a recognized entity;

 

owhether the facility is registered with a certification body, and if so, is progressing toward completing an audit process by that body;

 

owhether the facility is proximate to, conducts conflict mineral transactions with entities within, or transports materials through any of the following:

 

§a Level 1 country, with known active ore production and not identified as either conflict regions or plausible countries engaged in smuggling materials containing conflict minerals;

 

§a Level 2 country, known to or plausibly believed to be engaged in smuggling, export out of a Level 3 country, or as a transit for materials containing conflict minerals; or

 

§a Level 3 country, the DRC or one of its nine adjoining countries, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia, collectively referred to as "covered countries" in Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act;

 

·for each supplier, calculated a cumulative SOR risk, either low, medium, or high, summarizing the risk that the supplier poses to the Baker Hughes supply chain, based on the chances that the supplier furnishes 3TGs that may originate from non-conflict free sources:

 

oobtained the value of the cumulative SOR risk for each supplier by collecting the risk ratings of all SORs associated with the supplier, or in the case of parts-level responses, each product/part provided by the supplier; and

 

ofor each supplier, or, as applicable, each product/part, assigned the overall risk rating equal to the risk rating level with the most SORs at that level;

 

·will report above identified risks to appropriate senior management, including Legal, Procurement and Strategic Sourcing, for monitoring and determination of appropriate corrective action.

 

Independent Audit of SOR Due Diligence Practices

 

·The Company expects to become a participating member of the Conflict Free Smelter Initiative (CFSI) in June, 2016, and to thereby support efforts by the CFSI to promote smelter and refiner registration, audit and verification of conflict status.

 

·Following due diligence efforts undertaken in reporting period 2014, the Company, along with OGSWG peer members, identified nine SORs that were in common, and which were not listed by any independent verification entity:

 

oOGSWG members, including the Company, engaged a third-party to directly contact the identified unverified SORs and encourage them to register with an independent validating and auditing body; and

 

othree of the identified SORs did not reply, 3 responded that they did not smelt the named conflict mineral, 1 indicated it would work toward becoming compliant, and 2 indicated they did not actually process the named mineral.

 

Annual Report on Supply Due Diligence

 

The Company annually reports on our global supply chain due diligence and makes the current and every historical report available on our public website at the following weblink:

Independent Private Sector Audit

 

The Company is not subject to an independent private sector audit of the Report.

 

Results of Due Diligence Undertaken and Processing Facilities

 

Based on the Company’s due diligence efforts to date, the Company does not have sufficient information to fully determine each processing facility utilized to produce the conflict minerals used in each of the Company's relevant products. However, Schedule 2 below lists the processing facilities which source minerals from the DRC, for which the Company has been able to confirm the information provided by our suppliers.

 

Based on the Company’s due diligence efforts to date, the Company does not have sufficient information to fully determine the country of origin of the conflict minerals in each of our relevant products, or whether the conflict minerals in each of our products were from recycled or scrap sources. However, Schedule 1 below lists the countries of origin, by pertinent mineral, for which the Company has been able to confirm the information provided by our suppliers.

 

The efforts to determine the origin of conflict minerals are more fully described in the section entitled “Due Diligence Measures Undertaken.”

 

Risk Mitigation

 

With respect to those products the Company manufactures or contracts to be manufactured for sale that contain necessary conflict minerals, the Company plans to undertake the following steps to mitigate the risk that our necessary conflict minerals could unintentionally benefit armed groups:

 

·improve processes to identify the presence of necessary conflict minerals in those of our products we manufacture or contract to be manufactured and offer for sale by:

 

oseeking to increase our supplier response rate to 50% in reporting period 2016, although response rates will depend on supplier cooperation,

 

oseeking to increase our supplier parts-level response rate to 60% in reporting period 2016, although response rates will depend on supplier cooperation, and

 

oincorporating a flow-down clause on all new or renewed Master Service Agreements, creating a contractual obligation on the part of suppliers to comply with the Company’s conflict minerals requirements and to in turn require policy and systems implementation by successive supply chain tiers;

 

·continue to assess the presence of necessary conflict minerals in our relevant supply chain;

 

·continue to perform due diligence on the necessary conflict minerals supplied to us, to determine their origin;

 

·continue to clearly communicate to suppliers our expectations with regard to compliance with the Company’s stated policies, performance, transparency and responsible sourcing practices;

 

·engage with our suppliers to properly identify and obtain relevant information from “Invalid” or “Undetermined” SORs in our supply chain;

 

·engage with our suppliers to encourage that they source from conflict-free SORs or mines, and that they obtain from their applicable SORs or mines conflict-free designations from recognized certification programs;

 

·continue to engage our suppliers that did not respond to our request for conflict minerals information for reporting period 2015 conflict minerals information, ultimately seeking to engage as many of those suppliers as possible, to determine for reporting year 2016:

 

othose suppliers’ use of necessary conflict minerals,

 

othe country of origin of those conflict minerals,

 

othe use of scrap or recycled sources of those conflict minerals, and

 

othe source and chain of custody of those conflict minerals originating in the conflict area and not obtained from scrap or recycled sources;

 

·follow up with all high and medium cumulative risk suppliers in order to assist them in understanding their risk level and the future implications their risk level could have on the Company’s conflict minerals program;

 

·become a member of and actively participate in the Conflict Free Smelter Initiative beginning June 2016 to improve and expand engagement of SORs by independent certifying organizations;

 

4 

 

·monitor the activities, initiatives and programs of DRC regional governments and agencies, international bodies, and non-governmental organizations which are aimed at minimizing or eliminating the benefit to relevant armed groups derived from conflict minerals, and, where practicable, to support or implement those activities, initiatives or programs;

 

·seek, where practicable, alternative suppliers that responsibly source necessary conflict minerals, which may include sources within the conflict area that do not benefit armed groups; and

 

·continue to participate in local and national industry groups, as well as non-governmental organizations, such as the Responsible Sourcing Network Multi-Stakeholder Group and the Oil and Gas Services Working Group on conflict minerals, to develop best practices regarding responsible sourcing and supply chain transparency.
