Exhibit 1.01
Ford Motor Company
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2017
Ford Motor Company is a global company based in Dearborn, Michigan. With about 202,000 employees worldwide, the Company designs, manufactures, markets, and services a full line of Ford cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles, electrified vehicles, and Lincoln luxury vehicles. The principal products we sell are automobiles and automotive components and service parts.
1. Overview
Since 2014, public companies in the United States have been required to conduct due diligence to determine the origin of conflict minerals in their products and to report annually with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The disclosure rules are aimed at ending violent conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries. By shining light on where minerals are sourced from, the hope is that funds which otherwise might flow to armed groups that benefit from mineral trade in the region will be redirected to conflict-free sources both in the DRC region and outside the region.
The rules consider tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold to be “conflict minerals” regardless of where they are sourced from. We use the term “3TG” when discussing these minerals.
3TG is used in many auto parts and components, from engine assemblies to radio components. We work tirelessly to ensure that the 3TG we use in our vehicles is responsibly sourced. At the same time, we encourage responsible sourcing from the DRC region because responsible sourcing is important to the development of a conflict-free DRC region.
To help us achieve our goals and to comply with the relevant disclosure rules, the suppliers that provide us with components containing 3TG are expected to conduct due diligence to understand the origins of 3TG in their components, source 3TG responsibly, and not knowingly provide us with parts that contain 3TG that contribute to conflict. One of the best ways to provide transparency for the sources of 3TG is to disclose which 3TG smelters and refiners are reported by the supply chain. Smelters and refiners typically source minerals that they process into usable metals. For products supplied to us, our suppliers are encouraged to use smelters and refiners that have been validated as conformant to a 3rd party responsible mineral sourcing validation program.
The following report provides details on our efforts in 2017. Annex I to our report contains a list of validated smelters and refiners -- regardless of where they are located and regardless of where they sourced 3TG from -- who were included in the reports submitted by our suppliers.
In this report, “Ford,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar references mean Ford Motor Company, our consolidated subsidiaries, and our consolidated variable interest entities of which we are the primary beneficiary.
2. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”)
We have instituted conflict minerals reporting requirements as part of our suppliers’ contractual obligations through our Supplier Social Responsibility and Anti-Corruption Requirements Web-Guide, and we have encouraged our suppliers to extend the same obligations to their suppliers. Since are layers removed from the smelters and refiners in our supply chain, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide us with information concerning the origin of the 3TG contained in the automotive components and parts they supply to us. In most cases, our direct suppliers are unable to confirm 3TG country of origin information. Our direct suppliers often survey their suppliers who in turn are expected to continue the cascade of reporting requirements until all 3TG content and smelter or refiner information is identified. As a result of this process, information provided by our in-scope suppliers may in some cases be incomplete and in other cases be over inclusive.
1
For reporting purposes, we required our affected direct suppliers to complete the conflict minerals reporting template (“CMRT”) designed by the Electronics Industry Citizens Coalition and Global e-Sustainability Initiative. Suppliers were given the option to submit their completed CMRT via email or by uploading it to a specific website.
To determine our in-scope suppliers, we performed a risk-based assessment of all suppliers of components or parts to our assembly plants based on expected spend and 3TG content as reported through the International Material Data System (“IMDS”). In aggregate, our in-scope suppliers represent over 80% of our direct expenditures for components or parts. Through our analysis, we can confirm that over 50,000 parts in our automobiles contain some level of 3TG content. 3TG materials are found in parts from all of our major commodity groups including interior, exterior, electrical, and powertrain components. Of our in-scope parts, 99% contain tin, 11% contain tungsten, 17% contain tantalum, and 46% contain gold with many parts containing more than one of the 3TG materials. All of our automobiles include components containing 3TG.
For 2017, we received responses from 100% of the in-scope suppliers surveyed. We continue to work with our suppliers to improve the quality and completeness of their reports, and we provide feedback to suppliers if their reports are incomplete or inconsistent with information previously reported through IMDS.
3. Design of Due Diligence
Our due diligence measures have 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, Third Edition, 2016 (“OECD Guidance”) and the related supplements for 3TG.
4. Due Diligence Measures Performed
4.1 Management Systems
Our conflict management system includes the following action:
• | Established an Executive Steering Team for conflict minerals compliance led by our Vice President, Global Vehicle Purchasing. The team includes the following members: |
• | Group Vice President, Government and Community Relations |
• | Group Vice President and General Counsel |
• | Group Vice President, Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering |
• | Vice President, Communications |
• | Vice President, Vehicle Component and System Engineering |
• | Vice President, Strategy |
• | Established a cross-functional working level team to manage conflict minerals compliance. The working level team met biweekly and held biannual meetings with the Executive Steering Team to review our conflict minerals compliance status, strategy, continuous improvement objectives, performance to metrics, and legislative updates |
• | Developed training modules to ensure our suppliers understand our reporting and due diligence requirements and to assist them in their continuous improvement efforts to increase reporting transparency |
• | Instituted supplier report cards measuring conflict mineral reporting compliance |
• | Integrated supplier conflict minerals performance into sourcing decisions through the use of supplier report cards and business unit review with key suppliers |
• | Established and communicated our conflict minerals sourcing policy on our public website available by clicking here or http://corporate.ford.com |
2
• | Our conflict minerals policy is: |
To the extent tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold are contained in our products, it is Ford’s goal to use DRC conflict free minerals while continuing to support responsible in-region mineral sourcing from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries. As defined in Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), “DRC conflict free” means that a product does not contain conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of that product that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
Our suppliers are expected to conduct due diligence to understand the source of the conflict minerals used in Ford products, source responsibly, and not knowingly provide products containing minerals that contribute to conflict as described in the Rule. Suppliers are required to comply with Ford’s annual conflict minerals reporting requirements as published in our Social Responsibility and Anti-Corruption Requirements Web-Guide and are encouraged to source responsibly and use smelters and refiners that have been validated as conformant to a 3rd party responsible mineral sourcing validation program.
• | Instituted performance metrics to track the number of supplier responses received as well as the quality of the responses. The metrics are tracked and reported using our Business Plan Review process. The metrics are reported monthly to the Purchasing Vice President responsible for supply chain sustainability and are integrated into our human rights program |
• | Instituted conflict minerals reporting requirements as part of our suppliers’ contractual obligations through our Supplier Social Responsibility and Anti-Corruption Requirements Web-Guide |
• | Developed and cascaded training materials to relevant employees outlining our supplier reporting requirements, reporting process, and time line |
• | Maintained the use of our publicly available compliance mobile app, The Right Way, that provides a convenient grievance mechanism for employees, suppliers, or other stakeholders to report concerns related to our conflict minerals program - or any human rights issue - from anywhere in the world. The app contains our policies and commitments to human rights. It is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and is available in seven languages. Training is given to employees to make them aware of the app |
4.2 Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
We reviewed in-scope supplier CMRTs for:
• | Completion of all required reporting elements |
• | Consistency between the expected 3TG metals reported as being intentionally added to the supplier’s products and the metals reported in IMDS |
• | Presence of a smelter list that includes expected metals based on IMDS reporting |
We compared our smelter list to the CMRT Smelter Reference List, and for those smelters that appear on both lists, we were able to determine their audit status using information published on the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) (formerly Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”)) website.
3
We developed a database to aid in the analysis of supplier report data and to create tailored corrective actions to aid suppliers in improving the quality of their reports. We have dedicated resources and a cross-functional team managing our conflict mineral compliance and responsible sourcing efforts.
4.3 Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risk
We have instituted the following process to respond to identified risks in the supply base:
• | Established an escalation process to notify the Executive Vice President, Global Purchasing of risks when identified |
• | Established a procedure for risk mitigation including monitoring, tracking, and reporting progress to the Executive Vice President, Global Purchasing |
As part of our risk mitigation process, entities that are reported by our suppliers but that have not been validated as a smelter or refiner are reported to RMI for validation and assessment.
We directly contact smelters and refiners to request their participation in the RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”). The RMAP uses an independent 3rd party audit of smelter/refiner management systems and sourcing practices to validate conformance with RMAP protocols and current global standards. The audit employs a risk-based approach to validate smelters’ company level management processes for responsible mineral procurement.
We are an active member of the Public Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade (“PPA”) and our membership fees as well as our active participation help to develop traceability solutions for responsibly sourced minerals from the Covered Countries.
4.4 Carry Out Independent 3rd Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices
Due to our position in the supply chain, we rely on the RMI program to determine if smelters and refiners reported by our suppliers are conformant with audit standards. The audit standards have been developed by RMI to assess if companies have management systems in place to support responsible sourcing practices. We are an active member of various RMI workgroups, and we contribute to the development of RMI tools and processes used to support our program. We use the RMI audit status and RCOI information as key inputs to help us manage risk in our supply chain. In addition, we actively review and assess other information such as publicly available incident reports, NGO reports, and government published information to help us assess risk in the supply base.
4.5 Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence
This is our fifth Conflict Minerals Report and we plan to report annually. Our conflict minerals policy is available by clicking here and both our policy and our report are available on our website at http://corporate.ford.com.
5. Facilities Used to Process the Conflict Minerals in Products, if Known
We have surveyed our in-scope suppliers in an effort to identify the facilities used to process the 3TG contained in our products. The majority of our in-scope suppliers have provided a company-level completed CMRT that does not identify the smelters or refiners used for a particular part, component, or business customer. In cases where suppliers provided a part-level report, the identification of the smelters and refiners that support our specific products could not be determined due to lower tier suppliers reporting on a company basis. Therefore, we are unable to identify with certainty the specific facilities used to process the 3TG in our products. However, 315 RMI eligible 3TG smelters and refiners have been reported by our in-scope suppliers. 79% of the 315 smelters and refiners have deemed conformant to the RMI audit protocol by a 3rd party audit. These 315 smelters and refiners may have been used to process the 3TG in our products and are identified in Annex I below. Of the 315 smelters
4
and refiners, 39 have been identified through the RMI audit data as having sourced 3TG from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or its adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”). All 39 of the smelters or refiners that have been identified as sourcing from the Covered Countries were deemed conformant to the RMAP standard as of December 31, 2017.
6. Country of Origin of the Conflict Minerals in Products, if Known
Through our leadership efforts as well as our due diligence actions, we have increased the transparency within our supply chain. However, due to our position in the supply chain, we are unable to identify with certainty the specific facilities used by our suppliers to process the 3TG in our products or whether the 3TG in our products are from recycled or scrap sources. Based on the information provided by our suppliers as well as from the RMI, we believe that the countries of origin of the 3TG contained in our products may include the Covered Countries listed in Annex II.
7. Efforts to Determine the Mine or Location of Origin with the Greatest Possible Specificity
In an effort to determine the mine or location of origin with the greatest possible specificity, we have taken the following actions:
• | Conducted RCOI to determine which suppliers manufacture products containing 3TG and surveyed those suppliers using a risk-based approach that focused on in-scope suppliers |
• | Analyzed completed CMRTs from our suppliers for consistency with the 3TG content reported by suppliers in IMDS |
• | Analyzed completed CMRTs from our suppliers for completeness, consistency, and for identification of smelters and refiners sourcing conflict minerals from the Covered Countries |
• | Compared reports from our suppliers with the expected responses and when the information was incomplete or inconsistent with our conflict minerals policy or data expectations, we directly contacted our suppliers to obtain additional or clarifying information |
• | Assessed the information provided by our suppliers with the RMI members only smelter database to obtain country of origin information |
8. Steps We Have Taken or Will Take, if Any, to Mitigate the Risk that Conflict Minerals in Our Products Benefit Armed Groups, Including Any Steps to Improve Our Due Diligence
Ford’s policy is to source responsibly. We recognize, however, that strict avoidance of a given mineral or mineral origin could have unintended consequences, including the loss of livelihood for a local population. Ford supports responsible sourcing from the Covered Countries.
We review suppliers’ conflict minerals policies for alignment with our expectations. When suppliers’ policies indicate a ban on materials from the Covered Countries, we contact them to inform them of our expectation and the potential negative consequences of banning material from the Covered Countries.
Our goal is to improve the transparency of mineral sourcing within our supply chain while improving the capacity of DRC conflict free smelters. Specifically, we set goals to: (i) obtain a 100% response rate from in-scope suppliers, and (ii) increase the number of suppliers that provide a smelter list. We have taken the following actions in support of these goals:
• | We made conflict minerals reporting a contractual requirement for our suppliers and we encourage our suppliers to use audited DRC conflict free smelters and refiners |
• | We are an active member of RMI (member ID FORD) and participate in cross-industry smelter outreach efforts to identify true smelters and to encourage smelter participation in the RMAP |
5
• | We served on the RMI Steering Committee to provide downstream automotive perspective and guidance |
• | We served on the OECD Multi-Stakeholder Group as a representative of the automotive industry |
• | We attended the OECD conference on the Responsible Sourcing of Minerals and Ford served as a panelist on Gender Issues and Women’s Rights in the Mining Industry |
• | We conduct on-site 3rd party audits to assess suppliers’ performance to sustainability expectation including human rights, health and safety, and environmental |
• | We issued over 500 supplier Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs) to aid us in assessing risk in our supply chain. Responses to the SAQs served as one of several inputs into our risk assessment used to determine candidates for on-site audits |
• | We directly contacted 51 smelters and encouraged them to participate in the RMI audit program. In addition, we participated in AIAG’s outreach efforts to encourage smelter participation in RMI’s audit program |
• | We achieved a supplier conflict minerals reporting response rate of 100% for the third year in a row. We continue to work with our suppliers to improve the quality and completeness of their reports |
• | Since 2013, we have served on the Governance Committee of the Public Private Alliance for Responsible Mineral Trade (PPA), a multi-sector and multi-stakeholder initiative to support supply chain solutions to conflict minerals challenges in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes Region of Central Africa. Over the past 5 years, our membership fees as well as our active participation have contributed to the following PPA grants aimed at improving conditions for miners and building capacity of conflict free minerals supply from the Covered Countries: |
Provided financial support to IMPACT (formerly Partnership Africa Canada) to initiate due diligence systems in the Great Lakes Region of Central Africa
Provided funding to Save Act Mine to develop and distribute a graphic manual to educate miners, traders, and other upstream actors on the importance of due diligence
Provided a grant to IPIS to develop a model for gold trade monitoring in Mambasa
Provided funding, recruitment, and placement support to establish the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region (“ICGLR”) ombuds function for the ICGLR Regional Certification System
Supported in-region alignment meetings along with ICGLR member states, civil society, and other supply chain actors to identify and resolve tough challenges related to conflict free minerals trade
