CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
for the Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2019
Date: May 29, 2020
Introduction
EnerSys (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is, the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, manufactures and distributes reserve power and motive power batteries, battery chargers, power equipment, battery accessories and outdoor equipment enclosure solutions to customers worldwide. Motive power batteries and chargers are utilized in electric forklift trucks and other commercial electric powered vehicles. Reserve power batteries are used in the telecommunication and utility industries, uninterruptible power supplies, and numerous applications requiring stored energy solutions including medical, aerospace and defense systems. Outdoor equipment enclosure products are utilized in the telecommunication, cable, utility, transportation industries and by government and defense customers. The company also provides aftermarket and customer support services to its customers in over 100 countries through its sales and manufacturing locations around the world. With the recent Alpha Group acquisition (described hereinafter below), EnerSys provides highly integrated power solutions and services to broadband, telecom, renewable and industrial customers. Our business is highly decentralized with manufacturing locations throughout the world. Much of our manufacturing capacity is located outside the United States, and approximately 40% of our net sales were generated outside the United States. More specifically, we currently have significant manufacturing and/or distribution facilities outside of the United States, in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czechia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, the People’s Republic of China, Poland, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued final rules (the “Conflict Minerals Rules”) to implement Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which requires companies that file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including EnerSys, provide disclosures about conflict minerals that are “necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by the company.” “Conflict Minerals”, for purposes of these Conflict Minerals Rules, are defined by the SEC to be gold, columbite-tantalite (or coltan, as it is also called), cassiterite, and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to, by the SEC’s rule, tantalum, tin, and tungsten, that originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and certain adjoining countries (collectively with the DRC, the “Covered Countries”).
In accordance with SEC rules, the information in this report includes the activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries and entities that are required to be consolidated under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Furthermore, under the Conflict Minerals Rules, acquisitions are required to be included in the Company’s first filing that occurs no more than eight months after the acquisition date. Moreover, any businesses that were divested, sold or otherwise disposed of, during the reporting period were only included in our procedures through the transaction disposition date.
EnerSys announced on September 30, 2019, that we had completed our acquisition of all of the equity of N Holding AB, the parent company of NorthStar Battery Company (“NorthStar”). While the suppliers of NorthStar are generally aligned with those of EnerSys, we anticipate that full and complete coverage of the NorthStar products and supply chain will be included in the report filed with the SEC in 2021.
EnerSys previously announced our acquisition of Alpha Technologies, Inc. and Alpha Technologies, Ltd. (collectively, with their affiliates and subsidiaries, the “Alpha Group”). Consistent with the Conflict Minerals Rules and Instruction 3 to Item 1.01 on Form SD, EnerSys will begin reporting on the products manufactured by the Alpha Group for the calendar year 2020, with the details and results appearing in the report filed with the SEC in 2021.
These Conflict Minerals Rules require companies like EnerSys to undertake a three-step process. First, we need to determine if these rules apply by determining if Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of products that we manufacture or contract to be manufactured. Second, if the rules apply, we are required to conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine if the Conflict Minerals in our supply chain during the calendar year originated from the Covered Countries. Third, if we are unable to draw a conclusion from our RCOI, we are required to exercise due diligence on the Conflict Minerals’ source and chain of custody and to prepare a more detailed Conflict Minerals Report.
Determination of Applicability of Conflict Minerals Rules
We have determined that (a) tin (the “Battery Conflict Mineral”) is necessary to the functionality or production of our lead-acid batteries and (b) gold, tantalum and tin (the “Electronics Conflict Minerals,” and together with Battery Conflict Mineral, the “Subject Minerals”) are generic electronic components, for circuit boards, resistors, capacitors, and transformers, which we use in our battery chargers and accordingly are necessary to the functionality or production of our battery chargers.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Pursuant to the Conflict Minerals Rules, we conducted a good faith RCOI regarding the Subject Minerals to determine whether the Company had reason to believe that any of the conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of its products may have originated in the Covered Countries. The Company relied upon guidance from the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) (formerly, Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative) and used the RMI’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) as part of our RCOI process. After identifying relevant suppliers, the Company then conducted a supply chain survey, based on the current version of the CMRT. In addition, EnerSys cross-referenced our list of suppliers and smelters with the RMI RCOI data, as well as our review of publicly available information and we have identified the country of origin information of the Subject Minerals contained in our products. We believe that this inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether any of such minerals originated in the Covered Countries, or were derived from recycled or scrap sources. Based upon the inquiry undertaken, we were unable to conclude that the Subject Minerals did not originate in the Covered Countries or that the Subject Minerals are solely from scrap or recycled sources. Accordingly, as required by the Conflict Minerals Rules, because we were unable to conclude the country of origin of the Subject Minerals, we must exercise due diligence on their source and chain of custody.
Due Diligence
We designed our due diligence measures to conform to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, including the related supplements on tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (collectively, the “OECD Framework”). Consistent with the OECD Framework, we undertook a risk-based approach based upon our position in the supply chain for both the Battery Conflict Mineral and the Electronic Conflict Minerals.
The Company determined that a reasonable risk based approach was to conduct a survey of direct suppliers if the components and materials supplied suggested they were likely to contain Conflict Minerals. We also conducted interviews with suppliers and vendors and, as part of our normal course of business, conducted on-site due diligence. The Company’s due diligence processes are based on the data received from direct suppliers and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains. The Company determined that it was not practical to conduct a survey of all suppliers in its supply chain. However, as part of the process, any red flags identified were brought to the immediate attention of our Vice President of Global Procurement for remedial action. All of our suppliers and vendors are required to comply with our Code of Supplier Conduct, which covers Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries, and our purchasing department reviewed supplier and vendor compliance with the same. Our purchasing department continues to incorporate compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rules into its purchase orders and supply agreements. We believe that, as a result, we were able to identify and assess risk in our supply chain based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, annual spend and geographic location.
With respect to our Battery Conflict Mineral, most suppliers indicated that such tin originated from scrap or recycled sources. Additionally, in order to further improve the due diligence of our Battery Conflict Mineral, we intend to continue, among other things:
• | to monitor the sourcing of our supply chain; |
• | to encourage our suppliers to use tin from either scrap or recycled sources; and |
• | to increase the response rate of suppliers and any identified smelters. |
As a result of our due diligence efforts, with respect to the Electronics Conflict Minerals used, many of our electronics component suppliers were unable to assist EnerSys in tracing those relevant component parts to their original manufacturer or processor. Based upon the due diligence we undertook, we note that we did not receive any information that indicated such Electronics Conflict Minerals originated from the Covered Countries. Many of the key electronics distributors have provided statements that they support the initiatives and are seeking all their suppliers to be “conflict-free”. In order to further improve the due diligence of our Electronics Conflict Minerals, we are, among other things:
• | improving our supplier communication program involving our purchasing department; |
• | requiring additional training for our suppliers and employees; |
• | auditing key high risk suppliers, including more on-site visits; |
• | considering requiring non-conflict minerals be used in the electronic circuit boards used in our battery chargers; and |
• | endeavoring to increase the response rate of suppliers. |
Product Description
The relevant products covered by this report are:
Lead-Acid Batteries. Our lead-acid batteries are used as energy storage solutions for:
• | reserve power products, which are used for backup power for the continuous operation of critical applications in telecommunications systems, uninterruptible power systems, or “UPS” applications for computer and computer-controlled systems, and other specialty power applications, including medical and security systems, premium starting, lighting and ignition applications, in switchgear, electrical control systems used in electric utilities, large-scale energy storage, energy pipelines, in commercial aircraft, satellites, military aircraft, submarines, ships and tactical vehicles; and |
• | motive power products, which are used to provide power for electric industrial forklifts used in manufacturing, warehousing and other material handling applications, as well as mining equipment, diesel locomotive starting and other rail equipment. |
All smelters identified as processing our Battery Conflict Mineral are conformant with the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP, formerly the Conflict-Free Smelter Program) assessment protocols.
Battery Chargers. Our battery chargers are used with both reserve power products and motive power products, as each are described above. As a downstream consumer of electronics components and due in large part to the complexity of the electronics supply chain, our suppliers were unable to provide us with information to enable us to identify the source, whether recycled or scrap, of, or facilities that process, the Electronics Conflict Minerals that are present in the electronic circuit boards we use for our battery chargers. Accordingly, we cannot identify the country of origin of such Electronics Conflict Minerals.
Enclosures. Our cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries are used with reserve power products as described above. As a downstream consumer of electronics components and due in large part to the complexity of the electronics supply chain, our suppliers were unable to provide EnerSys with information to enable us to identify the source, whether recycled or scrap, of, or facilities that process, the Electronics Conflict Minerals that are present in the electronic circuit boards we use for our enclosures. Accordingly, we cannot identify the country of origin of such Electronics Conflict Minerals.
Determination
Based on the information obtained during our due diligence through December 31, 2019, we believe that the facilities that may have been used to process the Subject Minerals in our lead-acid batteries and battery chargers include the smelters listed in Annex I.
Based on these due diligence efforts, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of the Subject Minerals in our products or whether the Subject Minerals in our products are from recycled or scrap sources. However, based on the information obtained during our due diligence, we believe that the countries of origin of the Subject Minerals contained in our products include the countries listed in Annex II attached, as well as recycled and scrap sources.
As permitted by the Conflict Minerals Rules, because we were unable to determine the countries of origin of the Subject Minerals, this report is not required to be audited.
We have provided information as of the date of this report. Subsequent events, such as the inability or unwillingness of any suppliers or smelters to comply with our requests or due diligence may affect our future determinations under Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
