Conflict Minerals Report

For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

Introduction

This Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for the year ended December 31, 2020, is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”). The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“3TG” or “Conflict Minerals”). The reporting and disclosure requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the Conflict Minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.

Company Overview

This report has been prepared by the Company (herein referred to as “Ball,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The information provided in this CMR includes the activities of all our majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated.

 

Ball supplies innovative, sustainable packaging solutions for beverage and household products customers, as well as aerospace and other technologies and services primarily for the U.S. government. Our principal products include metal packaging for beverage and household products, as well as components related to aerospace and other technologies. We conducted an analysis of our products and found that some of our products contain Conflict Minerals that are necessary to their functionality or production.

 

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

In accordance with the Rule, we conducted, in good faith, a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) designed to determine whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”) or were from recycled or scrap sources.

 

We used the Responsible Business Alliance’s (“RBA”) conflict minerals reporting template (the “Reporting Template”) to obtain sourcing information from our direct suppliers. Our RCOI included assessing the responses we received from our suppliers in accordance with our due diligence framework.

 

Based on our assessment of the responses from our suppliers, we have reason to believe that some of the necessary 3TG used in our products may have originated in a Covered Country and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources.

Due Diligence

1.

Design of Due Diligence

Our due diligence program has been designed to conform in all material respects with the framework in 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, and the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”). Ball took the following steps in accordance with our due diligence program:


a.

Establish Strong Company Management Systems

The Company has adopted and made public a conflict minerals policy. Our policy can be found at http://www.ball.com/Ball/media/Ball/Global/Downloads/Ball_Conflict_Minerals_Policy.pdf. This policy is made available to employees through an internal company portal, is publicly available on the Ball website, and is also disseminated to suppliers during our RCOI process. In addition to our conflict minerals policy, Ball has a Ball Business Ethics Code of Conduct (“The Code”), which outlines expected behaviors for all of our employees. The Code addresses Ball’s commitment to compliance with all laws applicable to the way we do business and to social responsibility.

 

In order to strengthen engagement with suppliers, as part of establishing management systems, we have Supplier Guiding Principles, which are included as an exhibit to our form supplier agreements. The Supplier Guiding Principles, among other things, state our expectation that our suppliers will maintain ethical business practices, including compliance with laws related to human rights. We continued to include a Conflict Minerals certification as part of our form supplier agreements. Since many of our agreements are long-term, it will take several years for existing agreements to expire and for the Conflict Minerals certification to be included in all supplier agreements.

 

We utilized the Reporting Template as a tool to collect information from our suppliers regarding the smelters and refiners from which Conflict Minerals in materials and/or components that are supplied to us are derived. We also continue to engage our suppliers through follow-up to improve response quality pursuant to our due diligence program, which includes steps to review responses. Additionally, we work with a leading third party compliance company in order to more efficiently and effectively communicate with suppliers, collect information related to the source and origin of our products, and perform due diligence related to supply chain compliance.

 

Key management members and subject matter experts implement the due diligence program, including training new employees involved in the due diligence program and conducting Conflict Minerals Working Group meetings as deemed necessary. This group also implements procedures to review supplier responses, engage with suppliers and maintain records.

b.Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

We identified suppliers that potentially provide materials and/or components containing Conflict Minerals for our beverage or aerosol containers and the components manufactured by our aerospace division pursuant to the steps in our due diligence program.

 

In our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of any Conflict Minerals in our supply chain with the greatest possible specificity, we sent in-scope suppliers the Reporting Template, requesting information pertaining to the source of Conflict Minerals in their materials and/or components, including the source of Conflict Minerals contained in any recycled or scrap materials. Responses were tracked, accompanying information or documentation was reviewed, and additional requests for information were sent, as deemed necessary. Follow-up through the third party advisor’s compliance platform, through personal emails and phone calls, and otherwise, was performed pursuant to our due diligence program with non-responders and suppliers that provided incomplete responses, in an effort to obtain more detailed information. Any named smelters in the responses were reviewed against the Conformant Smelters and Refiners as part of the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) list of conflict free smelters to confirm conflict-free status.

c.

Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks

As described above, we utilize the Reporting Template to collect information from suppliers and identify risk. When a potential risk is identified, such as nonresponsive suppliers, incomplete Reporting Templates, or other potential risks, further inquiry takes place. The risk mitigation element of our due

2


diligence program is dependent on the unique circumstances of any issues that may arise. Senior management members of the Conflict Minerals Working Group are advised of any situation where a potential risk is identified. We will also contact any of our suppliers found to be sourcing from the Covered Countries through noncertified smelters or potentially high-risk smelters, and potentially seek to establish an alternative source for Conflict Minerals.

d.

Carryout Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

As part of our due diligence program, we rely on the information provided on the RMAP website and the third party compliance advisor’s database to determine if the smelters disclosed by our suppliers are certified as conflict free.

e.

Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

Our due diligence program includes filing our Form SD and CMR with the SEC on an annual basis, as well as making our CMR publicly available at https://www.ball.com/Ball/media/Ball/Global/Downloads/Ball-2021-Conflict-Minerals-Report.pdf as required by the Rule.

2.

Supplier Survey Results

Inherent Limitation on Due Diligence Measures

As a downstream purchaser of materials and components that may contain Conflict Minerals, Ball must necessarily rely, in good faith, on our direct suppliers to provide us with information about the source of Conflict Minerals contained in the materials and/or components supplied to us. We do not have direct relationships with 3TG smelters and refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain.

Results

As noted above, Ball supplies innovative, sustainable packaging solutions for beverage, food and household products customers, as well as aerospace and other technologies and services primarily for the U.S. government. The combined results of our due diligence are reported below:

 

We received responses from eighty-two percent (82%) of the suppliers surveyed. Fourteen percent (14%) of the suppliers that responded to our survey indicated in their responses that their products contained no 3TG; thus they were not in-scope. Eighteen (18%) of the suppliers surveyed did not respond to our initial survey request or the additional follow-up we conducted pursuant to our due diligence program.

3.

Description of Products, Facilities Used and Country of Origin of Necessary Conflict Minerals

Ball is a manufacturer of metal packaging products as well as aerospace hardware, which are produced in a network of manufacturing facilities around the world. Our aerospace hardware includes electronic components that contain tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold.

 

We have identified three hundred thirty-three (333) smelters from our combined business. This smelter information is provided in Exhibit A. Eight (8) smelters listed were not certified as conflict free under the RMAP as of the time we reviewed the RMAP list of certified conflict free smelters when our due diligence program was performed. It should be noted that, pursuant to RMAP rules and the certification process thereunder, some smelters may not have been compliant for the whole year, some may have failed their re-audit since our due diligence was performed and may be in the process of addressing relevant issues, or some smelters may have expired certifications since our due diligence was performed and a re-audit may or may not currently be in

3


process. Twenty-four (24) smelters on our list are “active” smelters, meaning they have not yet completed their first audit so it is not yet known if they are compliant or not. 

4.

Steps to be Taken to Mitigate Risk

We intend to continue to take the following steps to improve due diligence conducted regarding Conflict Minerals to further mitigate any risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

 

a.

We will continue to review our due diligence process to ensure all relevant suppliers are sent the Reporting Template, that information is adequately collected and reviewed, appropriate follow-up measures are taken, and that any documentation is centrally collected and maintained.

 

b.

We will continue tracking communication with suppliers, including through a compliance platform, to attempt to increase the response rate and improve the content and accuracy of the supplier Reporting Template responses.

 

c.

We will attempt to engage any of our suppliers found to be supplying us with 3TG from Covered Countries that support conflict to establish an alternative source of 3TG that does not support such conflict.

 

d.

We will continue to include a Conflict Minerals clause in new supplier contracts.
