Johnson & Johnson
Conflict Minerals Report
For the Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2014
Introduction
This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Form SD (together, the “Rule”) and describes Johnson & Johnson’s due diligence framework and due diligence measures performed to determine the source and chain of custody of the “conflict minerals” in its supply chain. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission defines “conflict minerals” as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten, and gold. This report covers the period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
Company and Products Overview
Johnson & Johnson is the parent company of various consolidated subsidiaries engaged in the manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field (the “J&J Operating Companies”). In this report, references to the “Company” refer to Johnson & Johnson together with the J&J Operating Companies. The Company’s operations are organized into three business segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices.
All product lines manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by the Company throughout the Company’s three business segments were assessed to determine whether they potentially contained tin, tungsten, tantalum or gold (“3TG”). Product lines with known 3TG content, or a high likelihood of 3TG content, were flagged as being in-scope for further investigation. These product lines are referred to in this Report collectively as the “In-Scope Products.” Through the screening process, product teams determined, to the best of their knowledge, that the Company’s: (i) Pharmaceutical and Consumer segments had a small number of products containing electronic components that were deemed to be In-Scope Products, including pharmaceutical diagnostics products and consumer microdermabrasion devices and plug-in diffusers; and (ii) Medical Devices segment contained the vast majority of the In-Scope Products due to the presence of metal alloys and electronic components. The Medical Devices In-Scope Products encompass many categories of medical devices, including, but not limited to: orthopaedic, trauma and neurological products; general surgery and energy products; products to treat cardiovascular disease; diagnostic products; blood glucose monitoring and insulin delivery products; and infection prevention products.
The Company’s supply chains are complex and fragmented. As a “downstream” company, the Company is many tiers removed in the minerals supply chain from smelters or refiners (“SORs”) that process the metals found in its final products, and there are many intervening third parties between the original sources of conflict minerals and the Company. The Company, therefore, must rely on its immediate suppliers, with which it has business relationships, to provide information regarding the sourcing of necessary conflict minerals in the In-Scope Products. The Company’s immediate suppliers, in turn, typically are also many tiers downstream in the minerals supply chain and have similar challenges in achieving supply chain transparency. In addition, because the Company manufactures and sells highly regulated health care products, its existing suppliers have gone through lengthy, rigorous, and multi-level regulatory and quality assessments and approvals. Therefore, it can be very difficult to switch to another supplier if an existing supplier is not responsive to the Company’s conflict minerals program.
1
Conflict Minerals Program
The Company has taken the following steps to implement a conflict minerals compliance program (the “Program”):
Starting in 2013:
• | Adopted and published its Statement on Conflict Minerals, which can be found on the Johnson & Johnson website at: http://www.jnj.com/sites/default/files/pdf/Johnson-Johnson-Conflict-Minerals-Statement-April-2013.pdf, and which sets forth the expectation that the Company’s suppliers source materials from suppliers who also source responsibly, including from conflict-free mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. |
• | Formed a centralized, cross-functional conflict minerals governance team (the “Core Team”) to oversee the implementation of the Program, which includes representation from the following departments: Procurement; Legal; Finance; Internal Audit; Environmental, Health, Safety & Sustainability; and Corporate Citizenship. The Core Team periodically reports to senior management on Program developments and progress. |
• | Engaged a third-party vendor (the “Vendor”) with a recognized expertise in supply chain due diligence to facilitate supplier engagement activity and to assist the Company in collecting, analyzing, verifying, and storing supplier-provided data and performing due diligence for the Program. |
• | Members of the Core Team formed and had participated in industry groups, forums, and conferences focused on compliance with the Rule and responsible sourcing of conflict minerals. |
• | Began incorporating conflict mineral provisions into the standard terms of the Company’s Supply Chain master supply agreement template as new supplier relationships were formed and as existing suppliers renewed their contracts. Because most supply contracts have multi-year terms, it will take a number of years to integrate the appropriate conflict minerals-related provisions into all supplier contracts. |
• | Set up a dedicated conflict minerals electronic mailbox used for communications with suppliers. In addition, the Company has a hotline (www.CredoHotline.com) that provides a mechanism for anyone to anonymously report conduct they know or believe is in violation of Company guidelines or policies, including any concerns related to the conflict minerals supply chain. |
In 2014,
• | Became a member of the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), a cross-industry effort to facilitate the validation of SORs and the participation of SORs in the Conflict-Free Smelter Program, which offers independent third-party audits of SORs to certify that the minerals they process originate from conflict-free sources. |
• | To promote more timely and accurate responses from suppliers, created a new internal training program that required all internal Supplier Relationship Managers (“SRMs”) who have direct relationships with the Company’s potential 3TG suppliers to participate in a training module to educate them on conflict minerals, the reporting requirements, and the Company’s Program. |
2
• | Based on learnings from the 2013 conflict minerals campaign, worked with the Vendor to enhance supplier survey and due diligence processes. Members of the Core Team actively monitored and provided input to the Vendor’s activities and analyses related to the responses received from the Company’s suppliers throughout the campaign. In addition, the Company conducted an on-site audit of the Vendor’s processes and due diligence activities to confirm contract compliance and data. |
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
The Company conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the 3TG in materials, components and finished goods supplied to the Company, including the following steps:
• | Utilizing version 3.02 of CFSI’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), the Company engaged its 471 potential 3TG suppliers to collect information regarding the presence and sourcing of 3TG in its products. |
• | The Vendor followed up with all unresponsive suppliers through a defined process via both email and telephone, including offering assistance and further information to suppliers about the requirements of the Rule and the Program. If after these outreach efforts a supplier still did not respond to the survey, the relevant Company SRMs were asked to directly contact those suppliers for a response. |
• | The Core Team risk stratified the Company’s list of potential 3TG suppliers to identify the suppliers that make up the top 80% of total spend with suppliers of In-Scope Products and focused direct Company engagement efforts toward suppliers within this group. |
• | The Vendor evaluated all supplier responses for completeness, plausibility, and consistency and, with oversight by the Company, followed up with the suppliers, as needed, to attempt to remedy any incomplete, invalid or inconsistent responses. |
• | For suppliers that responded that the materials or goods they supplied to the Company did not contain 3TG, Company SRMs and product stewards were asked to verify the responses, and only after such verification were those suppliers removed from the survey process. |
• | The Vendor verified, to the best of its knowledge, whether the metals processors identified by each supplier on its CMRT are actually SORs or recyclers of 3TG (“verified SORs”) by comparing the facilities reported by suppliers to CFSI's Standard Smelter List, the data gathered by the U.S. Department of Commerce and by conducting its own independent research. |
• | The Vendor researched and reviewed mine information for all verified SORs to determine the country of origin of the minerals processed by those SORs. This information was also compared to the country of origin data available to the Company as a member of CFSI. |
The Company received responses from approximately 67% of all surveyed suppliers. This is approximately the same level of response as last year. However, the comparability of our year-over-year supplier data is limited because there was significant impact to this year’s supplier survey pool due to acquisition and divestiture activity, including that: i) over 100 new suppliers were added to this year’s survey as a result of the timing of the acquisition of Synthes, Inc. and ii) as a result of the timing of the Company’s divestiture of its Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics business (“OCD”) in June 2014, the over 100 OCD-related suppliers were required to remain in this year’s survey even though they no longer had a business relationship with the Company.
3
Out of the suppliers that responded that they provide 3TG to the Company, many did not include the name of any verified SOR. Based on the responses received from the Company’s RCOI, which included thousands of alleged SOR names, a list was compiled of 306 verified, unique SORs, including information regarding associated countries of origin (the “unique smelter list”). The Company performed due diligence on the SORs on the unique smelter list that were known or reasonably believed to have sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country (the “DRC”) or that had unknown sourcing.
Due Diligence
Design of Due Diligence
The Company’s due diligence measures were designed to be in conformity, in all material respects, with the internationally recognized due diligence framework as set forth in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas; Second Edition, including the related supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten (“OECD Guidance”).
The design of the Company’s diligence measures took into account the OECD’s recommendations for “downstream” actors with no direct relationships with SORs. “Downstream” refers to the minerals supply chain from SORs to retailers and manufacturers, whereas “upstream” refers to the minerals supply chain from the mines to the SORs.
As discussed above, as a downstream company, the Company does not have a direct relationship with any SORs, and therefore does not perform direct audits of the due diligence practices of these entities. The Company instead relies on internationally-recognized validation schemes that facilitate independent third-party audits of SORs and validate that an SOR has met the requirements of the OECD Guidance, such as the CFSI Conflict-Free Smelter Program. The Company supports this program through membership and participation in CFSI.
Due Diligence Measures
Accordingly, the Company undertook the following measures to assess the due diligence practices of the SORs listed on its unique smelter list that were known or reasonably believed to have sourced from the DRC or that had unknown sourcing:
• | The Vendor attempted to match each SOR on the unique smelter list to available lists of SORs that have been certified by internationally-recognized validation schemes, such as the CFSI Conflict-Free Smelter Program, the London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery program (“LBMA”) and the Responsible Jewellery Council Chain-of-Custody Certification program (“RJC”). |
• | If an SOR was not certified by an internationally-recognized scheme, the Vendor attempted to contact the SOR to gather more information about its sourcing practices. In addition, internet research was also performed to determine whether there are any additional publically available sources of information regarding the SOR’s sourcing practices. |
Determination
Based on the above-described due diligence efforts, the Company does not have conclusive information regarding the country of origin of, or facilities used to process, the necessary conflict minerals in the In-Scope Products for the 2014 reporting period. Annex A includes the list of the 306 verified, unique SORs that the surveyed suppliers reported as being in their supply chains. Although the Company requested information at a product level, almost all supplier responses provided information at a company or division level, but not at a product level, and therefore, the information provided was not necessarily limited to SORs confirmed to be in the Company’s supply chain. In
4
addition, many of the supplier responses were still incomplete as all minerals supply chain participants continue to map their upstream supply chains. As a result, the Company is unable to validate whether the facilities listed in Annex A in fact contributed conflict minerals to its In-Scope Products. Based on information provided by suppliers, CFSI’s country of origin data and the Vendor’s research, Annex B includes an aggregated list of the countries of origin from which the SORs listed in Annex A are believed to have sourced conflict minerals, in addition to recycled and scrap sources.
Of the SORs which had an indication of DRC sourcing based on supplier survey responses, CFSI’s country of origin data and the Vendor’s research, all but one are certified as processing minerals from conflict-free sources. The remaining SOR’s sources are unknown. This SOR was reported in the CMRTs of 21 of the Company’s suppliers, who supply to multiple businesses across the Company’s Medical Devices segment.
The Company’s efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the necessary conflict minerals in the In-Scope Products with the greatest possible specificity consisted of the implementation of the Program and due diligence measures described in this Report.
Risk Mitigation Steps
With the conflict minerals regulatory regime in its infancy, it will take time for the various supply chain and industry participants to institute programs and agreed processes to gather verifiable information on conflict minerals sourcing and chain of custody. Accordingly, the Company’s due diligence program is an iterative process and progress is expected to be incremental over time.
The Company plans to take the following steps to improve its due diligence processes and work toward further mitigating the risk that the necessary conflict minerals in its products could finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC:
• | Continue to Expand and Improve Supplier Engagement. With the goal of increasing the response rate and quality of survey responses, the Company will continue to reach out to suppliers, support education and training, and seek to integrate expectations regarding the Program into new supplier contracts and those coming up for renewal. |
• | Continue to Enhance and Refine Due Diligence Measures. Based on learnings from the 2014 supplier survey process, the Core Team will continue to work internally and with its third-party vendor to enhance its supplier survey and due diligence processes. The Company also plans to refine its due diligence practices and framework as industry practice expands and evolves. |
• | Coordinate Efforts to Encourage SOR Participation in Third-Party Audits. As described above, there was one uncertified SOR that was reported to be in the Company’s supply chain and to source from the DRC. The Company will work with CFSI and, where possible, the suppliers that included that SOR in their respective CMRT responses to encourage the SOR to participate in CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program or another recognized third-party SOR audit scheme. |
