Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01

Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

This Form SD of II-VI Incorporated (“II-VI” or the “Company”) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Reporting Period”).

Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the “Conflict Minerals” or “3TGs”). The “Covered Countries” for purposes of the Rule are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

II-VI, a global leader in engineered materials and opto-electronic components, is a vertically integrated manufacturing company that develops innovative products for diversified applications in the industrial, optical communications, military, life sciences, semiconductor equipment, and consumer markets. Headquartered in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, with research and development, manufacturing, sales, service, and distribution facilities worldwide, the Company produces a wide variety of application specific photonic and electronic materials and components, and deploys them in various forms, including integrated with advanced software, to enable its customers. The Company is committed to compliant and ethical business conduct and to responsibly sourcing materials. As such, the Company has put into place a due diligence program to ensure its contributions to upholding human rights and responsible practices across the supply chain.

On September 24, 2019, the Company acquired Finisar Corporation (“Finisar”), a leading provider of optical subsystems and components, located in Sunnyvale, CA (“Finisar Acquisition”), and Finisar became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to its acquisition, and during the majority of the 2019 Reporting Period, Finisar was an independent reporting company pursuant to the Rule, maintaining its own conflict minerals program. Because the Finisar Acquisition occurred late in the 2019 Reporting Period, and because Finisar maintained its own conflict minerals program for the majority of the 2019 Reporting Period, II-VI is filing separate Conflict Minerals Reports for II-VI and for Finisar. The Conflict Minerals Report filed as Exhibit 1.01(a) hereto relates solely to the operations of II-VI for the 2019 Reporting Period, and the Conflict Minerals Report filed as Exhibit 1.01(b) hereto relates solely to the operations of Finisar for the 2019 Reporting Period Beginning with reporting year 2020, the Company will incorporate Finisar into its conflict minerals program and reporting.

For the 2019 Reporting Period, the Company conducted an internal survey of its divisions and required each division to disclose whether any products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by the division contained 3TGs and, if so, to identify the direct suppliers (“Tier 1 suppliers”) of such 3TGs. As a result of this internal survey, the Company determined that certain of its divisions manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products containing 3TGs which are necessary to the functionality or production of such products, as follows: (i) certain laser optics whose coatings contain gold, tantalum or tungsten, (ii) certain machined parts that may contain gold plating or tin solder, and (iii) various parts and components made of gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten that are incorporated into products offered by the Company (collectively referred to herein as the “Covered Products”).

Based upon the determination that the Rule applies to the above-referenced Covered Products, the Company undertook, with the assistance of Assent Compliance (“Assent”), a third-party service provider, a good-faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) designed to determine whether any of the 3TGs included in such Covered Products originated in the Covered Countries, and whether any of the 3TGs may be from recycled or scrap sources.

To implement the RCOI, the Company, with the assistance of Assent, conducted the following Tier 1supplier outreach and engagement:

 

   

An email was sent to Tier 1 suppliers describing the compliance requirements and requesting 2019 3TG information;

 

   

Following the introduction to the 2019 program and information request, several reminder emails were sent to each non- responsive Tier 1 supplier requesting survey completion; and

 

2


   

Tier 1 suppliers who remained non-responsive were contacted by phone and offered assistance in some cases. This assistance included further information about the Company’s Conflict Minerals compliance program, an explanation of why the information was being collected, a review of how the information would be used, and clarification regarding how the information could be provided.

The program utilized the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“EICC-GeSI Template”) for data collection. The EICC-GeSI Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and refiners that provide Conflict Minerals into a company’s supply chain. It includes questions regarding the origin of 3TGs included in a company’s products, including the identity of smelters and refiners, a company’s conflict-free policy, and a company’s engagement and due diligence with respect to its suppliers of 3TGs.

Tier 1 supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency, and gaps both in terms of which products were stated to contain or not contain necessary 3TGs, as well as the origin of those materials. Additional Tier 1 supplier contacts were conducted to address issues including: (i) implausible statements regarding no presence of 3TGs, (ii) incomplete data on EICC-GeSI Templates, (iii) responses that did not identify smelters or refiners, (iv) responses that indicated sourcing location without complete supporting information from the supply chain, and (v) organizations identified as smelter or refiners, but not verified as such through further analysis and research.

Therefore, the Company exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of 3TGs used in its Covered Products manufactured in calendar year 2019. Based upon the due diligence, including the RCOI results, the Company determined that the responses obtained were insufficient to form the basis for a reasonable determination as to the specific origin of all of the 3TGs used in the manufacturing process for the Covered Products. These due diligence efforts are described in the Conflict Minerals Reports provided as Exhibit 1.01(a) and Exhibit 1.01(b) to this Form SD.

The Company has developed a conflict minerals policy, which is publicly available on its website at https://www.ii-vi.com/csr/ to reflect a commitment to sourcing materials from companies that share its values on human rights, ethics and environmental responsibility. The Company expects its Tier 1 suppliers to develop internal conflict minerals policies, due diligence frameworks, and management systems which are designed to identify and ultimately eliminate from use in products sold to the Company any 3TGs that are known to come from sources funding armed groups in the Covered Countries.

This Form SD and the attached Conflict Minerals Reports for II-VI and for Finisar are publicly available on the Company website at https://www.ii-vi.com/csr/.

II-VI INCORPORATED

Conflict Minerals Report

For the reporting period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019

Overview

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of II-VI Incorporated (“II-VI” or the “Company”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019.

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite- tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the “Conflict Minerals” or “3TGs”). The “Covered Countries” for purposes of Rule 13p-1 are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”), the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

As further described in this Report, the Company has determined that certain of its divisions manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products containing 3TGs that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products.

Description of the Company’s Products Covered by this Report

This Report relates to products (i) for which 3TGs are necessary to the functionality or production of that product, (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company, and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2019.

These products, which are referred to in the remainder of this Report as the “Covered Products,” are as follows: certain laser optics whose coatings contain gold, tantalum or tungsten, certain machined parts that may contain gold plating or tin solder, and various parts and components made of gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten that are incorporated into products offered by the Company.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

To determine whether necessary 3TGs in products originated in Covered Countries, the Company retained Assent Compliance (“Assent”), a third-party service provider, to assist it in reviewing the supply chain and identifying risks. The Company provided a list composed of suppliers and parts associated with the in-scope products to Assent for upload to the Assent Compliance Manager (“ACM”). To collect data on the materials’ sources of origin procured by the supply chain, the Company utilized the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) version 5.12 or higher to conduct a survey of all in scope suppliers.

During the supplier survey, the Company contacted suppliers via the ACM, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform provided by Assent that enables users to complete and track supplier communications and allows suppliers to upload completed CMRTs directly to the platform for validation, assessment and management. The ACM also provides functionality that meets the OECD Guidance process expectations by evaluating the quality of each supplier response and assigning a health score based on the supplier’s declaration of process engagement. Additionally, the step-by-step process for supplier engagement and upstream due diligence investigations performed, are managed through this platform.

Through the ACM and Assent team, the Company requested that all direct suppliers (“Tier 1 suppliers”) complete a CMRT, as well as training, and education to guide them with regard to best practices and the use of the CMRT template. Assent monitored and tracked all communications in the ACM for future reporting and transparency. The Company directly contacted Tier 1 suppliers that were unresponsive to Assent’s communications during the diligence process and requested they complete the CMRT and submit it to Assent.

The Company’s program continues to include automated data validation on all submitted CMRTs. The goal of data validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers in the CMRT. This data validation is based on questions within the declaration tab of the CMRT which helps to identify areas that require further classification or risk assessment, as well as understand the due diligence efforts of the Tier 1 suppliers. The results of this data validation contribute to the program’s health assessment and are shared with the Tier 1 suppliers to ensure they understand areas that require clarification or improvement.

All submitted CMRTs are accepted and classified as valid or invalid so that data is retained. Tier 1 suppliers are contacted regarding invalid forms and are encouraged to submit a valid form. Tier 1 suppliers are also provided with guidance on how to correct these validation errors in the form of feedback to their CMRT submission, training courses and direct engagement help through Assent’s multilingual Supplier Experience Team. Since some Tier 1suppliers may remain unresponsive to feedback, the Company tracks program gaps to account for future improvement opportunities.

The Company’s Conflict Mineral Due Diligence Framework

The Company conformed its due diligence efforts to the guidance for downstream companies provided by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Second Edition, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”). Furthermore, the Company has adopted a policy relating to Conflict Minerals (the “Conflict Minerals Policy”). This policy reflects the Company’s commitment to sourcing materials from companies that share its values on human rights, ethics and environmental responsibility. The Conflict Minerals Policy is publicly available on the Company website at https://www.ii-vi.com/csr/.

The Company’s Due Diligence Process

Based upon the RCOI results, the Company determined that the responses obtained from its Tier 1 suppliers were insufficient to form the basis for a reasonable determination as to the specific origin and conflict status of all the 3TGs used in the Covered Products. This determination was based upon the following:

 

   

Responses from certain Tier 1 suppliers indicating that the 3TGs they had supplied to the Company did originate in the Covered Countries, but lacking additional substantive information as to their conflict status; and

 

   

A lack of substantive responses from a subset of remaining Tier 1 suppliers that would allow the Company to make a determination of origin with respect to each category of Covered Products.

As discussed further below, the Company undertook due diligence efforts in an attempt to clarify the following with respect to the 3TGs: (i) country of origin, (ii) whether the 3TGs financed or benefited armed groups in those countries, and (iii) whether the 3TGs came from recycled or scrap sources.

The Company does not purchase 3TGs directly from mines, smelters, or refiners, and instead relies on a complex global supply chain. There are many third parties in the supply chain between the original sources of 3TGs and the Company’s manufacturing of the Covered Products. Therefore, the Company relies on its Tier 1 suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of the 3TGs that are included in its Covered Products.

The Company requested all of its Tier 1 suppliers of 3TGs to identify the SORs that they use, and whether they have been validated as conformant in accordance with the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) audit program. The Company also asked its Tier 1 suppliers whether they (i) had a policy in place that includes DRC conflict-free sourcing and requires their direct suppliers to be DRC conflict-free; (ii) had implemented due diligence procedures for conflict-free sourcing; and (iii) request names of SORs from their suppliers.

The Tier 1 Suppliers that identified specific smelters of concern on their CMRT were contacted in accordance with the OECD Guidance to inform them of the potential for risk, and to evaluate whether these smelters could be connected to the Company’s products. The Tier 1 suppliers were asked to complete a user-defined or product-level CMRT specific to the materials, products or piece parts purchased by the Company, rather than a company-level CMRT, to better identify the connection to products that they supply to the Company. Other Tier 1 suppliers were evaluated internally to determine if they were in fact still active Tier 1 suppliers. If not, they were removed from the scope of data collection.

For those SORs that were identified by the Company’s Tier 1 suppliers and that are known or thought to be sourcing from the Covered Countries, additional investigation was undertaken to determine the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs that they supply. Assent conducted research and direct outreach in order to determine sourcing practices of facilities that may source from the covered countries Assent compared the list of smelters and refiners provided in the Tier 1 suppliers’ responses to the lists of smelters maintained by the RMI.

In addition, it was also determined whether such SORs had been certified under the following internationally accepted audit standards: the RMAP, the London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery Program, and the Responsible Jewellery Council Chain-of-Custody Certification. If an SOR was not certified by these internationally-recognized schemes, attempts were made to contact the SOR to gain more information about its sourcing practices, including countries of origin and transfer, and whether it has in place any internal due diligence procedures other processes to track the chain of custody on the source of its mineral ores.

 

2


Information reviewed includes: whether the SOR has a documented, effective and communicated conflict-free policy, an accounting system to support a mass balance of materials processed, and traceability documentation. Internet research also was performed to determine whether there are any outside sources of information regarding the SOR’s sourcing practices.

Based on the results of the above-described efforts, after conducting the RCOI and subsequently exercising the required due diligence, the Company was unable to definitively determine for each of the Covered Products the country of origin and conflict status of all 3TGs contained in the Covered Products.

Steps Taken and Planned to Be Taken to Mitigate Risk

In 2019 or earlier, the Company took the following steps to mitigate the risk that its necessary 3TGs benefit armed groups in Covered Countries:

 

   

Continued to display its policy regarding 3TGs on the Company website;

 

   

Continued to contract with Assent to provide enhanced assistance with the Company’s RCOI and due diligence processes;

 

   

Continued to improve reporting of conflict minerals due diligence findings and supply chain risks to supply chain leaders and senior management;

 

   

Continued to utilize the Assent’s extensive resources to enhance engagement with its Tier 1 suppliers. This included online learning resources and 24 hour access to Compliance experts;

 

   

Filed the Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In 2020, the Company plans to take the following steps necessary to mitigate the risk that its 3TGs benefit armed groups:

 

   

Continue to review and improve the Company’s conflict minerals program;

 

   

Continue to engage with Tier 1 suppliers and direct them to 3TG training resources;

 

   

Continue to monitor conflict minerals laws, regulations, and rules and update our related policy and processes as appropriate.

Finisar Corporation

Conflict Minerals Report

For the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2019

Introduction

This Conflict Minerals Report (this “Finisar Report”) of Finisar Corporation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13p-1 and Form SD promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (collectively, the “Rule”) with respect to the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2019.

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a registrant manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals, which are collectively referred to in this Finisar Report as “Conflict Minerals,” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of the Rule and this Finisar Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“the DRC”), the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. For purposes of this Finisar Report, reference to “Finisar,” “we,” “our” or the “Company” mean Finisar Corporation and its subsidiaries. As further described in this Finisar Report, certain of the Company’s operations manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products for which certain Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.

The Company and its Products

The Company is a leading provider of optical subsystems and components that are incorporated by its customers into larger systems used in a variety of data communication and telecommunication applications.

Subsystem Products: The Company’s optical subsystems provide the fundamental optical-electrical, or optoelectronic, interface for interconnecting the equipment used in wireline and wireless communication networks, including switches, routers and servers. These products rely on the use of semiconductor lasers and photodetectors in conjunction with integrated circuits, or ICs, and optoelectronic packaging to provide a cost-effective means for transmitting and receiving digital signals over fiber optic cable at speeds ranging from less than 1 gigabit per second, or Gbps, to more than 100 Gbps, over distances of less than 10 meters to more than 2,000 kilometers. These optical subsystems include the following products:

 

   

Transmitters which use a laser plus direct or indirect modulation to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber optics;

 

   

Receivers which incorporate photodetectors and convert incoming optical signals into electrical signals;

 

   

Transceivers which combine both transmitter and receiver functions in a single device;

 

   

Transponders which include a data serializer-deserializer function that would otherwise reside in the customer’s equipment if a transceiver were used; and

 

   

Active Optical Cables that combine two transceivers and a fiber optic cable that are built into an integrated cable assembly.

The Company’s optical subsystem products support a wide range of network protocols, transmission speeds, fiber types, wavelengths, transmission distances, physical configurations and software enhancements.

 

1


The Company also offers products known as wavelength selective switches, or WSS. In long-haul and metro networks, each fiber may carry 50 to 100 different high-speed optical channels, each with its own specific optical wavelength. WSS are switches that are used to dynamically switch network traffic from one optical fiber to multiple other fibers without first converting the optical signal to an electronic signal. The wavelength selective feature means the WSS enable any wavelength or combination of wavelengths to be switched from the input fiber to the output fibers. WSS products are sometimes combined with other components and sold as line cards that plug into a system chassis referred to as a Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM).

Component Products: The Company manufactures a number of active and passive optical components including vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs), Fabry-Perot (FP) lasers, distributed feedback (DFB) lasers, tunable lasers, positive intrinsic negative (PIN), detectors, fused fiber couplers, isolators, filters, polarization beam combiners, interleavers, splitters and amplifiers. Most of these optical components are used internally in the manufacture of the Company’s optical subsystems. Some of these components are also sold in the so-called “merchant market” to other subsystems manufacturers.

Covered Products: This report relates to products: (i) for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2019. These products, which are referred to in this Finisar Report collectively as “Covered Products,” consist of all of the Company’s subsystem products and component products.

Manufacturing and Supply Chain

We manufacture most of our optical subsystems at our production facilities in Ipoh, Malaysia and Wuxi, China. We manufacture short wavelength parallel optical transceiver products and certain passive optical components used in our long wavelength transceiver products, as well as ROADM line cards products and WSS assemblies, at our facility in Shanghai, China. We also manufacture WSS products at our facility near Sydney, Australia. We conduct a substantial portion of our new product introduction activities at our Sunnyvale, California, Horsham, Pennsylvania, and Sydney, Australia facilities. We also conduct a portion of our new product introduction operations at our Ipoh and Shanghai facilities. We conduct wafer fabrication operations for the manufacture of VCSELs used in short wavelength transceiver products at our facility in Allen, Texas. We conduct wafer fabrication operations for the manufacture of long wavelength FP and DFB lasers at our facility in Fremont, California. We conduct wafer fabrication operations for the manufacture of VCSELs used in 3D facial recognition, automotive in-cabin sensing and automotive LIDAR at our facility in Sherman, Texas. We conduct wafer fabrication operations for the manufacturing of tunable lasers and photonic integrated circuits (PICs), in our facility in Järfälla, Sweden. We use contract manufacturers for a portion of our manufacturing needs, primarily printed circuit board assemblies.

Supply chain management is coordinated from our Sunnyvale, California facility and our international purchasing office in Shenzhen, China. Our supply chain is complex. The majority of the commercially available off-the-shelf components used in our products are purchased through distributors. As such, the Company may not have a direct relationship with the supplier(s). Our component suppliers and their respective sub-tier suppliers are principally responsible for the procurement of the raw materials used in the manufacture of the components used in our Covered Products. Raw materials purchased by our direct and indirect suppliers contain minerals, including Conflict Minerals, obtained from smelters or refiners that, in turn, source those minerals from brokers and/or traders who procure minerals from various countries. Because we do not purchase materials directly from these smelters and refiners, we have relied on our suppliers, and on information available from industry sources, for purposes of this Finisar Report.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

Beginning in 2011, we have conducted an annual, good faith Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) regarding the Conflict Minerals used in, or in connection with, the production of the Covered Products. The RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any Conflict Minerals may have come from recycled or scrap sources. This investigation uses the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (RMI, www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org ) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) for gathering data from our suppliers.

The Company’s supply chain spend data consistently shows that 90% of our supply chain spend is with our top 100 suppliers as ranked by total spend. Accordingly, the top 100 suppliers were established as the starting point for the scope of the conflict minerals RCOI survey.

 

2


Expanding the survey effort to cover 100% of spend increases the scope to ~900 suppliers. The scope is adjusted to include those suppliers who may have been in the top 100 in a prior year—and are now ranked below 100. Suppliers may be removed from the database if: they cease operations, are purchased by another organization, or if the level of the Company’s business with them falls so low, there is no value in keeping that supplier active in the survey Additionally, a few of the top 100 rankings are claimed by component distributors. Therefore, the Company expands the survey to include those suppliers whose components are purchased through any distributor in the top 100.

For 2019, our seventh year of supply chain surveys regarding conflict minerals, the survey covered 122 active suppliers.

In 2019, all suppliers provided company-level conflict minerals declarations. We also saw an increase in the number of suppliers who were able to provide more focused, product-level conflict mineral declarations, which improves the overall data accuracy for the Company’s consolidated report. For those suppliers who provide, company-wide reports, such reports do not identify which smelters specifically are used in the sourcing for the specific products supplied to the Company. Therefore, the Company reports all smelters, as being potentially in our supply chain, with any minerals originating in the conflict region as potentially supplied to the Company. The results of our RCOI, program metrics, and due diligence efforts consider these limitations. By preferring a company-level CMRT whenever possible, our conflict minerals reporting addresses the status of our supply chain, even as the specific components sourced from each supplier may change throughout the year.

Considering the 122 suppliers in the CY2019 database, suppliers’ responses to Question 2 from the CMRT Declaration, “Does any 3TG remain in the products?” reveal that:

 

   

88 of our direct suppliers confirmed the use of gold, tin, tantalum, or tungsten in the products supplied to The Company;

 

   

34 of our direct suppliers reported that the products supplied to The Company do not include any gold, tin, tantalum, or tungsten;

Table 1, below, summarizes our suppliers’ responses to Question 5 from the CMRT Declaration, (What percentage of relevant suppliers have provided a response to your supply chain survey?)

In total, our suppliers identified 240 legitimate smelters (by RMI identification number, or CID) who reported ore country of origin locations in 94 countries. A list of the identified smelters is included in Annex A to this Finisar Report. Table 2 below summarizes the findings from our 2019 Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry, based on unique CID. Smelter status was updated to reflect the information listed in the RMI database as of 8th May 2020.

At the end of CY2014, in an effort to drive improvement through the supply chain, we established internal goals for improving the “percent compliant” position of each mineral, with the aim of driving more smelters to achieve RMAP compliance, and for our supply chain to source more material from RMI-compliant smelters. The CY2019 goals were met or exceeded for Gold, Tungsten, and Tantalum.

Due Diligence Process

On the basis of the findings in our RCOI, we conducted a broader due diligence investigation regarding the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals used in the Covered Products. The Company’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform to the framework in the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”). The OECD Guidance specifies a five-step framework for risk-based due diligence for responsible supply chains of minerals sourced from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.

Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems.

The first step in the OECD framework is to establish strong internal systems, including record-keeping and chain of custody tracking and/or traceability systems. To implement Step 1, we have taken the following actions:

 

   

In April 2011, we adopted our Conflict Minerals policy, which was revised in 2012, 2014 and 2016. The October 2014 revision clarified our corporate policy to not purchase from known conflict sources, and our expectation that our suppliers abide by the same standard. Further, this policy established the corporate goal to purchase from only responsible, conflict-free sources, as validated by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (the “RMI”);

 

   

We established a cross-functional Conflict Minerals Working Group under the direction of our Global Quality System Director and including representatives of our Legal, Finance, Global Supply Chain, and Internal Audit Departments. This group reports its activities to our executive management at quarterly-scheduled meetings and bi-annually to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors;

 

   

We adopted our Conflict Minerals Due Diligence and Reporting procedure in 2013 to receive inquiries and grievances regarding our conflict minerals programs and practices. This procedure was refined in February 2014 to define the requirements regarding follow-up investigations after the report of alleged suspect conflict sources, and in October 2014 to incorporate best-practices identified from the September 2014 RMI member workshop. The July-2016 update to our procedure incorporated feedback learned through the RMAP peer-review program offered by RMII’s Due Diligences Practices team following the May-2016 filing deadline;

 

   

We communicated the Company Policy to our direct suppliers and requested that they conduct their own RCOI and return a completed RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. In 2014, we added the topic of Conflict Minerals to our Supplier Assessment process in our supply chain to better understand and assess our suppliers’ RCOI and due diligence efforts regarding Conflict Minerals.

 

4


Step 2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain.

The second step in the OECD framework requires an assessment of conflict-related risks in the supply chain. To implement Step 2, we have taken the following actions:

 

   

Following the process designed in 2012, we compiled a list of our top 100 suppliers based on FY19 spend data. Each of these suppliers received a request for a current assessment using the CMRT to report the up-stream smelters and refiners for tin, tungsten, tantalum, and/or gold. Suppliers, were sent follow-up inquiries if survey answers were inconsistent or incomplete, or if the accompanying smelter list required review and clarification;

 

   

The supplier responses for smelter and mine data were de-duplicated to develop a single smelter list. We used our suppliers’ responses to identify smelters, refiners and country of origin data;

 

   

We followed the guidelines established by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (www.responsibleminerals.org), and referenced the RMI master smelter database to confirm compliance status for each smelter reported from our supply chain. This database is queried periodically to update smelter status for follow-up reports and due diligence efforts; and,

 

   

We established a follow up investigation procedure to respond to customers’ or other interested parties’ inquiries regarding potential suspect suppliers. If we become aware of concerns about suspect mineral sourcing, we require the supplier purchasing from the suspect source to investigate and conduct traceability of materials, implement corrective actions if necessary, and provide assurance of a conflict-free supply chain.

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

The third step in the OECD framework is the development of a strategy to mitigate and regularly monitor risks in the supply chain. To implement Step 3, we have taken the following actions:

 

   

We have developed procedures for sending supply-chain inquiries to our top 100 suppliers on an annual basis, reviewing their responses, consolidating the information in a central database, and conducting follow-up inquiries and/or action items to address any incomplete or inconsistent responses;

 

   

We continue to follow and consult the RBA guidelines, RMI, and other industry-sponsored programs, events, and best practices. In September 2014, the Company became a member of RMI in order to leverage the research and data analysis available to member companies as part of our Conflict Free RCOI and due diligence efforts. Additionally, we began participating in an informal working group comprised of several similarly situated Silicon Valley companies. The aim of this group is to share insights and best practices regarding RCOI, data management, and due diligence efforts around issues of supply chain transparency and ethical sourcing, including conflict minerals;

 

   

We report information on the sources and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals used in our products to our executive management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors;

 

   

We require our suppliers to conduct investigations of any smelters identified as high-risk and work with our suppliers to address compliance issues and to transition their processing to RMAP compliant smelters; and

 

   

We will take appropriate action, including the discontinuation of the supply relationships, when we determine that our suppliers are not adhering to the Company Policy.

 

5


Step 4: Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence.

The fourth step in the OECD framework is to obtain audits of due diligence practices employed by smelters and refiners supplying minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. Because we do not source Conflict Minerals directly from smelters or other processing facilities, we rely on third parties, including the RMI, to coordinate and conduct third-party audits of these facilities. We rely upon the published results of these third-party audits to validate the responsible sourcing practices of the smelters and other processing facilities in our supply chain.

Step 5: Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence.

The fifth step in the OECD framework requires companies to publicly report on their supply chain due diligence policies and practices. To implement Step 5, have taken or intend to take the following actions:

 

   

We will file this Finisar Report as an exhibit to the Report on Form SD filed by II-VI Incorporated with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC);

 

   

We will make this Finisar Report available on II-VI’s website.

Conflict Minerals Smelters and Refiners

Based on the CY2019 information reported by our direct suppliers, the top five smelter locations by country, consolidated for all four minerals, were: China, Japan, United States, Germany and Brazil.

Country of Origin of Conflict Materials in the Covered Products

Based on the information provided by our direct suppliers, and otherwise obtained to date through the due diligence process described above, we cannot conclusively establish that all Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products did not originate from the Covered Countries. Although at this time we cannot give any firm assurance, based on the findings from our RCOI, the Company is not aware of any of its products containing Conflict Minerals whose mining, smelting, or refining has benefited armed conflict and other human rights or environmental abuses in any of the Covered Countries.

Further Steps in Our Due Diligence Process

For 2020, the Company plans to take the following steps, among others, to improve its due diligence process and to further mitigate the risk that the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products benefits armed conflict and other human rights or environmental abuses in any of the Covered Countries:

 

   

We will continue to engage with our direct suppliers and, in partnership with those suppliers, engage with their supply chain, smelters and processing facilities, to obtain current, accurate and complete information regarding our Conflict Mineral sources;

 

   

We will continue to encourage our direct suppliers to adhere to the Company’s Ethical Souring and Conflict Minerals Policy, to refine their own due diligence program, and to encourage smelters in the supply chain to obtain a “conflict-free” designation from an independent, third-party audit program;

 

6


   

We will advise our suppliers that we intend to cease doing business with suppliers who continue to source Conflict Minerals from smelters that are not confirmed as “conflict-free” or actively engaged with RMAP, with a clear roadmap and timeline to become compliant;

 

   

For CY2020, we will continue our annual survey of all active suppliers surveyed in a prior year and the current year’s top 100 suppliers, based on the framework described in Step 2. This survey will leverage the recently updated CMRT version 6.0 and its updated smelter identification look-up tables. Additional due diligence inquiries will be based on a supplier’s answers to survey questions, and the smelters / countries named in their declaration; and,

 

   

Our on-going follow-up efforts will continue toward on improving the “percent compliant” position for each of the four minerals.
