Beyond Conflict Materials for High Tech Companies: Turn Compliance into a Competitive Opportunity

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 1502, requires organizations to disclose the use of conflict minerals in their products or in the materials used in their manufacturing processes. By rule of the SEC, compliance is about disclosure. Capgemini and Pegasystems envision supply chain transformation far beyond mere compliance. This paper provides an overview of what is required for compliance and Capgemini’s vision to get you there and beyond.

The Law – SEC Disclosure Organizations are obligated to comply where:  Files with SEC under Exchange Act  Conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of a manufactured product STEP 1 Understand Obligation Where organizations establish an obligation for compliance, they must conduct country of origin inquiry to determine whether conflict minerals originated in DR Congo or adjoining countries  Where conflict minerals did not originate from DR Congo or adjoining countries, or originate from “Green” mines, organizations must: ‒ Disclose findings and methods for investigation in annual report ‒ Post disclosure on web site  Where conflict minerals did originated from DR Congo or adjoining countries or is unable to determine if minerals are conflict free: ‒ Disclose in annual report and web site. ‒ File Conflict Minerals Disclosure Report STEP 2 Investigate Origin Where conflict minerals did originated from DR Congo or adjoining countries or is unable to determine if minerals are conflict free:  Conduct supply chain due diligence.  Create and post on its Web site a Conflict Minerals Report , includes: ‒ Description of due diligence performed ‒ Description of the products manufactured and facilities where conflict minerals used ‒ Certified independent private sector audit report  Obtain an independent private sector audit (part of due diligence).  Furnish report as exhibit to annual report on Form 10-K  Disclose auditor‘s conclusion in annual report STEP 3 Disclose Conflict Minerals 5 The information contained in this document is proprietary.

Findings ‒ Initial Filings in 2014 Significantly fewer companies filed disclosures than either the industry or SEC anticipated: Costs higher than anticipated to implement SEC Rule: NGOs criticized broad failure of companies to determine conflict status of products: Most companies did not provide smelter information in their disclosures: Source: http://www.bdlaw.com/news-1637.html  1300 out of an estimated 6000 companies filed a For SD conflict minerals disclosures  1000 out of an estimated 4500 companies filed full Conflict Minerals Reports  The SEC anticipated that 75% or covered issues would require a Conflict Minerals Report  In practice this was closer to 80%  Fewer companies were able to avoid heighted due diligence based on a conclusion they had “no reason to believe” minerals were sourced from the covered countries than anticipated leading to higher costs  The SEC rule allows companies to describe their products as “DRC conflict undeterminable” for the first two years, from May 2014, while they develop and implement their reporting compliance programs  The SEC is still issuing guidance  The SEC rules keep changing  Only 25% of reporting companies supplied smelter information  The SEC (backed by the D.C. Circuit ruling) require that smelter information be provided 6 The information contained in this document is proprietary. Copyright © 2014 Capgemini. All rights reserved.
