CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT for the year ending 31 December 2024

 

Introduction

 

Smith & Nephew plc, also referred to as “Smith & Nephew”, the “company”, “we”, “our”, and “us” is a global medical technology business. We have products in the following fields: Orthopaedic Reconstruction, Advanced Wound Management, Sports Medicine and Trauma & Extremities.

 

This Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) for the year ended December 31, 2024, is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Rule) and Form SD. The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issuers whose manufactured products contain certain minerals which are “necessary to the functionality or production” of their products. These minerals are cassiterite, columbite, tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (collectively, 3TG or Conflict Minerals). The Rule focuses on 3TG emanating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) region and nine adjoining countries (collectively the Covered Countries). If an issuer has reason to believe that any of the Conflict Minerals in their supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if they are unable to determine the country of origin of those Conflict Minerals, then the issuer must exercise due diligence on the Conflict Minerals’ source and chain of custody and submit a CMR to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.

 

This CMR relates to the process undertaken for Smith & Nephew products that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, during calendar year 2024 and that contain 3TGs. Third party products that Smith & Nephew sells but does not manufacture or contract to manufacture are outside the scope of this CMR.

 

Executive Summary

 

Whilst Smith & Nephew’s products may contain components or materials that utilize 3TG, Smith & Nephew does not purchase 3TG directly from mines, smelters, or refiners. The majority of Smith & Nephew’s suppliers and their upstream suppliers are not directly subject to the Rule issued pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Smith & Nephew is reliant on the provision of information by its suppliers to determine whether any 3TG in its products originated in the Covered Countries.

 

Smith & Nephew performed a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) on suppliers believed to provide Smith & Nephew with materials or components containing 3TGs necessary to the functionality or production of Smith & Nephew’s products. Smith & Nephew’s suppliers identified 341 valid smelters and refineries (smelters) in their supply chains. Of these 341 smelters, Smith & Nephew identified 49 as sourcing (or there was a reason to believe they may be sourcing) from the Covered Countries. Smith & Nephew’s due diligence review indicated that 34 of these smelters have been audited and recognized as conflict free by the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP). Risk mitigation was conducted on the remaining 15 smelters.

 

Company Management Systems

 

Smith & Nephew established robust management systems according to Step 1 of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Smith & Nephew’s systems included:

 

1 

 

·Step 1A - Adopt, and clearly communicate to suppliers and the public, a company policy for the supply chain of minerals originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.

 

oImplemented a conflict minerals policy.

 

oPolicy made publicly available:

 

§https://www.smith-nephew.com/en/who-we-are/sustainability/conflict-minerals

 

oPolicy communicated directly to suppliers as part of RCOI process

 

·Step 1B - Structure internal management to support supply chain due diligence.

 

oMaintained an internal cross functional team to support supply chain due diligence

 

oAppointed a member of the senior staff with the necessary competence, knowledge, and experience to oversee supply chain due diligence.

 

oApplied the resources necessary to support the operation and monitoring of these processes including internal resources and external consulting support.

 

·Step 1C - Establish a system of transparency, information collection and control over the supply chain.

 

oImplemented a process to collect required supplier and smelter RCOI and due diligence data. Full details on the supply chain data gathering are included in the RCOI and due diligence sections of this CMR.

 

·Step 1D - Strengthen company engagement with suppliers.

 

oDirectly engaged suppliers during RCOI process.

 

oReviewed supplier responses as part of RCOI process.

 

oAdded Conflict Minerals compliance requirements to new supplier contracts and Smith & Nephew’s Code of Conduct, Business Principles and Third Party Guide.

 

oImplemented a plan to improve the quantity and quality of supplier and smelter responses year over year.

 

·Step 1E - Establish a company and/or mine level grievance mechanism.

 

oRecognized the RMAP’s three audit protocols for gold, tin/tantalum, and tungsten as valid sources of smelter or mine level grievances.

 

oSmith & Nephew’s ethics violations reporting system allows employees to voice confidentially without any fear of retribution, any concerns with the violations of the Smith & Nephew’s Conflict Minerals policy.

 

RCOI

 

Smith & Nephew designed its RCOI process in accordance with Step 2A and 2B of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Smith & Nephew’s RCOI process involved two stages:

 

Stage 1 - Supplier RCOI (Step 2A of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance)

 

Stage 2 - Smelter RCOI (Step 2B of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance)

 

Supplier RCOI

 

Smith & Nephew designed its supplier RCOI process to identify, to the best of Smith & Nephew’s efforts, the smelters in Smith & Nephew’s supply chain in accordance with Step 2A of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Smith & Nephew’s supplier RCOI process for the 2024 reporting period included the following –

 

2 

 

Developing a list of suppliers providing 3TG containing components to Smith & Nephew.

 

Contacting each supplier and requesting the industry standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) including smelter information.

 

Reviewing supplier responses for accuracy and completeness.

 

Amalgamating supplier provided smelters into a single unique list of smelters meeting the definition of a smelter under one of three industry recognized audit protocols.

 

Reviewing the final smelter list (and compared it to industry peers) to determine if Smith & Nephew identified reasonably all of the smelters in its supplier’s supply chains.

 

For the 2024 reporting period, Smith & Nephew’s RCOI process was executed by Claigan Environmental Inc., a third-party contractor. Smith & Nephew’s suppliers identified 341 smelters in their supply chains. The specific list of smelters is included in the “Smelter and Refineries” section at the end of this CMR.

 

Smelter RCOI

 

Due to the overlap between smelter RCOI and smelter due diligence, the smelter RCOI process is summarized in the due diligence section of this CMR.

 

Due Diligence

 

Smith & Nephew’s Due Diligence Process was designed in accordance with the applicable sections of Steps 2, 3, and 4 of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

 

Smelter RCOI and Due Diligence

 

Smith & Nephew’s smelter RCOI and due diligence process were designed to:

 

Identify the scope of the risk assessment of the mineral supply chain (OECD Step 2B).

 

Assess whether the smelters/refiners have carried out all elements of due diligence for responsible supply chains of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas (OECD Step 2C).

 

Where necessary, carry out, including through participation in industry-driven programs, joint spot checks at the mineral smelter/refiner’s own facilities (OECD Step 2D).

 

Smith & Nephew’s smelter RCOI and Due Diligence Process included the following -

 

For each smelter identified by its suppliers:

 

oSmith & Nephew attempted direct engagement with suppliers to determine whether or not the smelters identified source from the Covered Countries.

 

oFor smelters that declared directly (e.g. email correspondence, publicly available Conflict Minerals policy, or information available on their website) or through their relevant industry association that they did not source from the Covered Countries, and were not recognized as conflict free by the RMAP, Smith & Nephew reviewed publicly available information to determine if there was any contrary evidence to the smelter’s declaration. The sources reviewed included:

 

§Public internet search (e.g., Google) of the facility in combination with each of the Covered Countries.

 

§Review of specific NGO publications. NGO publications reviewed included:

 

·Global Witness

 

·SWISSAID

 

3 

 

·Radio Okapi

 

·Southern Africa Resource Watch

 

·The Business and Human Rights Resource Centre (BHRRC)

 

§Publications by the U.N. Groups of Experts concerning the DRC

 

For smelters whose status could not be confirmed by direct engagement with suppliers, Smith & Nephew reviewed publicly available sources to determine if there was any reason to believe that the smelter may have sourced from the Covered Countries during the reporting period.

 

oSmith & Nephew reviewed the same sources as those used to compare against smelter sourcing declarations.

 

For high-risk smelters (smelters that are sourcing from or there is reason to believe they may be sourcing from the Covered Countries), Smith & Nephew sought to identify whether such smelters have been audited and recognized as conflict free by the RMAP.

 

oFor high-risk smelters that have not been audited and recognized as conflict free by the RMAP, Smith & Nephew communicates the risk to a designated member of senior management (OECD Step 3A) and conducts risk mitigation on the smelter according to OECD Step 3B.

 

Smith & Nephew’s suppliers identified 341 valid smelters and refineries (smelters) in their supply chains. Of these 341 smelters, Smith & Nephew identified 49 as sourcing (or there was a reason to believe they may be sourcing) from the Covered Countries. Smith & Nephew’s due diligence review indicated that 34 of these smelters have been audited and recognized as conflict free by the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP). Risk mitigation was conducted on the remaining 15 smelters.

 

Risk Mitigation

 

Smith & Nephew conducted risk mitigation on 15 smelters that were not recognized as conformant to the RMAP. Smith & Nephew’s risk mitigation was designed in accordance with Step 3B of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and was reported to Smith+Nephew’s Sr. Director, ESG Regulations and Reporting, in accordance with Step 3A of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

 

As part of Smith & Nephew’s risk mitigation process, additional due diligence was performed to determine if there was any reason to believe the relevant smelters directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries. Notifications were issued to relevant suppliers regarding engaging smelters, either directly or through any necessary upstream suppliers, to promote participation in the RMAP. Suppliers were requested to consider removal of non RMAP conformant smelters from their supply chains, if smelters are unwilling or unable to participate in the RMAP.

 

Smith+Nephew will continue to engage with its suppliers on an ongoing basis with regards to these efforts and to ensure appropriate risk mitigation.

 

Improvement Plan

 

Smith & Nephew has a global, multi-tier, significantly complex and highly regulated supply chain. Supply chain changes carry long lead times and the necessity for extensive quality and safety related due diligence checks, as well as in certain instances, the obtaining of approvals from regulators. Smith & Nephew therefore works collaboratively with suppliers to educate and manage change on an ongoing basis and to ensure conformance with Smith & Nephew’s Conflict Minerals Policy.

 

4 

 

Smith & Nephew is taking and will continue to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals in Smith & Nephew’s products could directly or indirectly benefit or finance armed groups in the Covered Countries:

 

a)Including Conflict Minerals compliance requirements in all new and renewing supplier contracts potentially in scope.

 

b)Continuing to drive its suppliers to obtain current, accurate, and complete information about the smelters in their supply chain.

 

c)Engaging with suppliers regarding smelters sourcing from the Covered Countries to be audited and certified to a protocol recognized by the RMAP.

 

d)Follow up in 2025 on smelters requiring risk mitigation and implement corrective and preventative actions where risks cannot be appropriately mitigated.
