Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals are defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), wolframite and gold, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (collectively “3TG”). Roper Technologies, Inc. (“Roper”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) evaluated its product lines and determined that certain products we manufacture contain 3TG necessary to the functionality or production of those products.

Annual surveys were initiated with relevant direct suppliers providing parts and materials for products we manufactured or contracted to manufacture during the 2022 reporting period to begin the reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”). The Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template was utilized as the basis for the RCOI.

Based on the RCOI, we determined that a portion of the 3TG reported by our suppliers originated, or may have originated, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, may not be from recycled or scrap sources, and that a portion of them have unknown origins. Therefore, we were required to exercise due diligence on the 3TG source and chain of custody following a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework. These details are provided in our Conflict Minerals Report, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Exhibit

Our Conflict Minerals Report is filed as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and is publicly available at www.ropertech.com.

II. REASONABLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INQUIRY (“RCOI”)
Roper conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) in good faith to determine whether any tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold (collectively, “3TG”) in its products originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, “Covered Counties”). Based on its RCOI, Roper believes certain products contain 3TGs that may have originated from the Covered Countries and, therefore, performed additional due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs in question in accordance with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (hereinafter referred to as “Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act” or “the Rule”) to determine whether the products are “conflict free or responsibly sourced.”
RCOI Design and Implementation
Our RCOI has been designed to conform in all material respects with the internationally recognized due diligence framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas
(“OECD Guidance”) as applicable for 3TG and downstream companies.
OECD Step 1 – Establish strong company management systems
Roper Policies – Roper has actively engaged with its customers and suppliers for several years with respect to the use of conflict minerals. We adopted and communicated company-wide policies and expectations articulating the conflict minerals supply chain due diligence process and our commitments to reporting obligations regarding conflict minerals. Our Conflict Minerals Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, and Purchase Order Terms and Conditions are publicly available on our website, https://www.ropertech.com/policies/. The Conflict Minerals Policy requires suppliers to adopt and implement policies, due diligence frameworks and management systems to support responsible minerals sourcing consistent with the OECD Guidance.
Internal Management Structure - Roper maintains an internal team to manage due diligence efforts for the conflict minerals program. The team is comprised of functional areas including engineering, supply chain, and procurement personnel from our relevant operating businesses. The team is led by a global program manager who provides guidance related to plan development, implementation, risk evaluation and potential mitigation measures, and preparation of reporting documentation. The global program manager reports directly to Roper’s Chief ESG Officer and Securities Counsel, Assistant General Counsel. Program effectiveness, compliance strategy and due diligence efforts are reported to Roper’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Roper’s Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.
We supplement internal resources with a third-party service provider to assist with evaluating supply chain information regarding 3TGs, identifying potential risks, and the development and implementation of additional due diligence steps, supplier communications, and capacity building.

Supply Chain Controls, Transparency and Traceability – The OECD Guidance specifies the requirements for compliance to reflect a company’s position in the supply chain. In particular, the OECD Guidance states the implementation of due diligence be tailored to a company’s activities and relationships and that the nature and extent of due diligence may vary based on a company’s size, products, relationships with suppliers and other factors. Due to practical difficulties associated with supply chain size and complexities, the OECD Guidance advises downstream companies to exercise due diligence primarily by establishing controls over their relevant first-tier suppliers. Accordingly, we rely on our relevant direct suppliers to provide information with respect to the origin of the conflict minerals contained in the components and materials supplied to us. Roper’s Conflict Minerals Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, and Purchase Order Terms and Conditions include a provision for responsible sourcing of conflict minerals and due diligence requirements. These policies apply to all first-tier suppliers and outline required behaviors, practices, and expectations.
We enhance our leverage by contributing to industry efforts to address conflict minerals and responsible minerals sourcing through our membership and involvement in the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”). We also utilize RMI’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) and member-only resources to engage and request information from our relevant suppliers regarding their supply chain due diligence practices and identification of upstream actors through surveys of their supply chain. The information


submitted by our suppliers includes information about the smelters and refiners identified in their own supply chains. Documentation is maintained for a minimum of five years.
Supplier Engagement – Roper requires compliance with our Conflict Minerals Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, and terms and conditions of our purchase orders and purchase agreements, as well as surveys and due diligence activities to identify upstream smelters and refiners. We further communicate these expectations and capacity building resources to our suppliers through our annual survey process.
We utilize a third-party SaaS platform for our annual survey that enables us to complete and track supplier communications as well as allow our suppliers to upload completed CMRTs directly to the platform for validation, assessment and management. The third-party platform provides functionality that meets the OECD Guidance process expectations by evaluating the quality of supplier responses and assigning a health score based on a supplier’s declaration of process engagement. Additionally, the metrics provided by suppliers, as well as the process for supplier engagement and upstream due diligence inquiries performed, are managed through this platform.
Grievance Mechanism – The RMI, of which we are a member, maintains a public Grievance and Complaints Mechanism for use by smelters, refiners, and other external stakeholders regarding the initiative itself, the audit program and protocols, related smelter and refinery operations, audit quality and auditor competencies, mineral supply chains and upstream and downstream initiatives. RMI partner initiatives with the London Bullion Market Association and the Responsible Jewelry Council also maintain public grievance mechanisms for the gold supply chain.
OECD Step 2 – Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
Roper businesses are downstream and far removed from mineral processing facilities, therefore, we engage with other industry peers through the RMI to support our efforts to identify and assess supply chain risks. Our businesses begin the process by identifying their relevant first-tier suppliers that furnish products, parts, or components that contain 3TG. Identified suppliers are then included in our annual survey and educational outreach.
Our third-party survey tool requests relevant suppliers complete RMI’s CMRT to confirm any 3TG, identify potential smelters and refiners, and gather due diligence information on the relevant supply chains of our businesses. Our suppliers are expected to obtain this same information from their suppliers continuing back through multiple tiers of the supply chain to identify upstream smelters and refiners.
Supplier representations are reviewed against expectations for management systems and due diligence. Data validation is performed to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers in the CMRT. Follow up emails or calls are made to nonresponsive suppliers, those with inaccurate responses, and those identifying smelters or refiners of concern to provide additional guidance on how to correct validation errors and facilitate the removal of high-risk processing facilities from the supply chain.
The 3TG smelters and refiners identified in the RCOI are reviewed and validated against the RMI member-only risk information, RMI Compliant and Active Smelter Lists, the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) Responsible Gold Refiner List, and the Responsible Jewelry Council (“RJC”) Chain-of-Custody List of Certified Entities. This process enables audits and spot checks of processing facilities and provides additional supply chain due diligence support, including mine of origin and transit route information.
Each facility that meets the definition of a smelter or refiner of 3TG is assessed according to red-flag indicators defined in the OECD Guidance. These factors include: geographic proximity to the DRC and covered countries, known mineral source country of origin, RMAP audit status, credible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing, peer assessments conducted by credible third-party sources and sanctions risks.
III. DUE DILIGENCE MEASURES
Due Diligence Design
Roper’s due diligence measures, like our RCOI measures, have been designed to conform in all material respects with the framework in the OECD Guidance, as applicable for 3TG and downstream companies. Our RCOI design includes OECD Steps one and two, whereas our Due Diligence design completes the five-step framework with OECD Steps three, four and five.


Due Diligence Performed
Our due diligence measures performed are described below according to the relative OECD Guidance Steps.
OECD Step 3 – Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Roper continues to participate in industry efforts to address conflict minerals through its membership and participation in the RMI due to the downstream position of our businesses and their limited insight into and leverage over the supply chain. We leverage and contribute to the many resources of the RMI, its working groups and details of the RMAP audits, including the LBMA and RJC validation schemes, to verify smelter and refinery practices, verify those that are conflict free, and identify risks and appropriate mitigation strategies. This engagement has helped develop standards, best practices and tools that benefit all companies working to end the link between 3TGs and conflict affected areas.
Risk mitigation activities are initiated whenever a supplier’s CMRT identifies facilities of concern. Through our third-party provider, suppliers with submissions that included any smelters of concern are provided with feedback instructing the supplier to take their own independent risk mitigation actions. Suppliers are given clear performance objectives within reasonable timeframes with the goal of progressive evolution or elimination of these smelters of concern from the supply chain. In addition, suppliers are guided to educational materials on mitigating the risks identified through the data collection process.
Escalated supplier responses are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the global program manager with the respective business. Roper has designed and implemented a strategy to respond to identified risks at the operating business level ranging from continued procurement to disengagement. The global program manager reports program findings to executive management.
OECD Step 4 – Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain
Due to our diverse businesses and supply chain size, the company level representations of our suppliers report a substantial proportion of the total smelter and refinery population. Therefore, we leverage our membership participation with the RMI to encourage all smelters and refiners participate in an audit program.
Roper relies on these third-party audits of processing facilities conducted as part of the RMAP, RJC, and or LBMA. The RMAP uses independent private-sector auditors, and audits the source, including the mines of origin, and the chain of custody of the conflict minerals used by smelters and refiners that agree to participate in the program.
Our third-party provider contacts processing facilities not currently enrolled in the RMAP to encourage their participation and gather information regarding each facilities’ sourcing practices on behalf of its compliance partners. Roper is a signatory of this communication in accordance with the requirements of downstream companies detailed in the OECD Guidance.
Through our membership with the RMI, smelters or refiners have been encouraged to participate in the RMAP. Any smelters or refiners that were reported by suppliers who are not part of the RMAP are also contacted by our third-party provider to encourage their participation in the RMAP.
The data on which we relied for certain statements in this declaration was obtained through publicly available and RMI member-only audit information and RCOI/country of origin (“COO”) report.
OECD Step 5 – Report annually on supply chain due diligence
As required under Section 13(p) of the Exchange Act, Roper reports annually by filing a Form SD, which includes this Conflict Minerals Report. The filing is made public on Roper’s website, https://www.ropertech.com/policies/, once that filing has occurred.
Roper has also considered impacts from the European Union Conflict Minerals Rule when disclosing details with regards to due diligence efforts. We will continue to expand efforts both for transparency through the data collection process and risk evaluation, as well as the disclosure of efforts through the form of public report.
An independent private sector audit of our Conflict Minerals Report is not required because Roper does not voluntarily label its products as being “DRC conflict free” as that term is defined in Form SD.


IV. DUE DILIGENCE RESULTS
Processing Facilities
CMRTs are sent to, and requested from, direct suppliers. Direct suppliers are then expected to conduct supply chain outreach in order to identify applicable smelter and refiner sources. Company level supplier responses to our annual survey identified 344 recognized smelter and refinery processing facilities. Due diligence results summarized herein are based on the RMI’s RCOI data as of April 6, 2023.
All smelters and refiners listed by suppliers in completed CMRTs, which appear on the RMI-maintained smelter list, are presented in Annex I of this Conflict Minerals Report. Due to difficulties in tracing materials to specific products, suppliers providing smelter and refiner data often list all smelters and refiners from which they purchase materials during the reporting period. As a result, the smelters or refiners listed in Annex I are likely to be more comprehensive than the list of smelters or refiners that actually processed 3TGs contained in the products of our businesses.
The following is a summary of the 2022 reporting year due diligence results as compared to the previous two reporting years:

Reporting year
202020212022

Smelters known to source outside the Covered Countries126125829225
V. CONCLUSION
Based on our due diligence, we found with respect to our products identified above, the information gathered lacked clarity with respect to the origin and chain of custody of all the conflict minerals contained in the products, nor did the data reveal whether the conflict minerals contained in the products may have directly or indirectly financed conflict in the Covered Countries.


Steps to Improve Risk Mitigation
Since the period covered by this Conflict Minerals Report, we continue to mitigate risk and improve our overall due diligence as follows:
-     continue to communicate our Conflict Minerals Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, and terms and conditions of our purchase orders and purchase agreements and other related expectations to suppliers;
-     continue to perform annual inquiries of relevant first-tier suppliers utilizing the RMI’s CMRT;
-     continue to engage with suppliers that provided incomplete responses, failed to respond, or reported high-risk smelters and refiners;
-     continue to provide training and educational resource links to our suppliers through the annual survey process;
-     continue to review our processes to improve suppliers’ effectiveness; and
-     continue our membership in the RMI, participation in working groups, and support of the RMAP industry initiative to support responsible supply chains.
