EXHIBIT 1.01

 

Conflict Minerals Report of ESCO Technologies Inc.
for Calendar Year 2022

 

This is the Conflict Minerals Report of ESCO Technologies Inc. (“ESCO”) for calendar year 2022 provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Conflict Minerals Rule”). The Conflict Minerals Rule requires ESCO to perform certain procedures and disclose information about the use and origin of “Conflict Minerals” which are necessary to the functionality or production of products ESCO manufactures or contracts to have manufactured. “Conflict Minerals” are defined for purposes of the Conflict Minerals Rule as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, their respective derivatives tin, tantalum and tungsten, and gold.

 

ESCO Technologies is a global provider of highly engineered products and solutions to diverse and growing end-markets that include the aerospace, space, healthcare, wireless, consumer electronics, electric utility, and renewable energy industries. During 2022, ESCO conducted its business in three operating segments, through a number of wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. These segments, together with the significant domestic and foreign operating subsidiaries within each segment during 2022, were as follows; more complete information about the Company and its subsidiaries is provided on the Company’s website and in its latest Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

 

Aerospace and Defense:

Crissair, Inc.

Globe Composite Solutions, LLC

Hi-Tech Metals, Inc.

Mayday Manufacturing Co.

PTI Technologies Inc.

VACCO Industries

Westland Technologies, Inc. 

 

Utility Solutions Group:

Doble Engineering Company

I.S.A.–Altanova Group S.r.l.

NRG Systems, Inc.

 

RF Shielding and Test:

ETS-Lindgren Inc.

 

ESCO’s products require a wide variety of components and materials, and Conflict Minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of ESCO’s products are common across its product portfolio. ESCO sources its components and subassemblies from a global supply base that includes distributors, value-added resellers, original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers.

 

 

 

 

ESCO’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

In accordance with the Conflict Minerals Rule, ESCO has performed a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (“RCOI”) on Conflict Minerals in its supply chain to determine whether these Conflict Minerals were sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) or adjoining countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.

 

As a result of its RCOI process, ESCO has concluded in good faith that during 2022:

 

Conflict Minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of many of the products ESCO manufactured or contracted to have manufactured; and

 

ESCO was not able to reach a conclusion as to all sources of the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the products it manufactured or contracted to have manufactured.

 

Description of ESCO’s Due Diligence

 

ESCO designed and performed its due diligence measures to conform in all material respects with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas (CAHRAs): Third Edition (the “OECD Guidance”) including related Supplements for each of the Conflict Minerals in addition to guidance provided by the SEC and Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). Although the updated OECD Guidance clarifies that the framework requires detailed due diligence as a basis for responsible supply chain management of all minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas, currently ESCO is focused on the SEC required 3TGs in the DRC and surrounding countries and in the future will expand the program to other CAHRAs or minerals as recommended by the SEC.

 

ESCO’s due diligence measures were based on the OECD Guidance. ESCO is many steps removed from the mining of Conflict Minerals and does not purchase raw ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals, the due diligence included extensive communications with its suppliers. ESCO, for the last eight years, has focused its efforts on its suppliers and contract manufacturers in an effort to continue to build Conflict Mineral awareness, assess the transparency of its supply chain and identify the smelters/refiners in its supply chain.

 

ESCO maintains a system of internal procedures and controls to identify and trace Conflict Minerals within its supply chain. A summary of ESCO’s activities, which are in line with the OECD Guidance, are outlined below.

 

Step 1: Establish strong company management systems

 

ESCO’s conflict minerals policy demonstrates the Company’s commitment to responsible sourcing as part of its larger Corporate Citizenship initiative and in conformance with the OECD Framework for conflict-affected and high-risk areas for minerals originating in the Covered Countries with the objective of helping companies to respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflict through their mineral sourcing practices and with the expectation that our suppliers will do the same. ESCO’s conflict minerals policy statement is available on the Company’s website at: https://www.escotechnologies.com/corporate-citizenship/.

 

ESCO maintains a governance model to oversee the implementation and ongoing management of its Conflict Minerals Compliance Program, including a Conflict Minerals Core Team consisting of representatives from each significant subsidiary, led by an Assistant General Counsel, to develop policies, standards and processes that relate to the identification of Conflict Minerals risk in its supply chain. The Core Team solicits the participation of leadership from the various ESCO business units to maintain a governance structure which enables sustainable compliance and actively mitigates the risk of not meeting regulatory requirements. The Core Team is responsible for developing policies and standards as well as developing and maintaining a project charter, compliance project plan, communication strategy, awareness training, project status report, and a standard retention policy.

ESCO maintains an annual process to evaluate parts and suppliers in its supply chain for potential Conflict Minerals risk, with some subsidiaries automating the collection of this information.

 

In alignment with the OECD Guidance, each of ESCO’s subsidiaries identifies and assesses the risks in its supply chain by conducting a risk-rated analysis of its products, parts, and suppliers.

 

Supplier agreements across the ESCO subsidiaries require suppliers to annually provide information on their use and source of Conflict Minerals.

 

ESCO continues to adapt its internal processes, procedures and systems to accommodate the capture, maintenance, retrieval and reporting of Conflict Minerals supplier and parts status, thereby improving transparency and the ability to certify its status in forthcoming years.

 

ESCO annually provides compliance training for at-risk suppliers.

 

ESCO engages with its suppliers to gain greater visibility into their supply chains, in order to make better sourcing decisions.

 

ESCO provides a feedback mechanism, managed by an ombudsman, on its website at www.escotechnologies.com which is available to all interested parties to provide information or voice their concerns regarding ESCO’s sourcing and use of Conflict Minerals in its products.

 

Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

 

On an annual basis, ESCO performs due diligence to identify the parts within each of its subsidiary’s active bills of materials (“BOMs”) that are known or are likely to contain Conflict Minerals using a risk-based approach and to further identify the supplier(s), and when able the manufacturers, from who those parts are sourced.

 

ESCO requests that its suppliers complete a survey at the part level, providing information found on RMI’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT).

 

ESCO reviews survey responses received from suppliers for completeness, validates for sufficiency and follows up with any supplier that did not complete the survey, through an intensive outreach program including emails and telephone calls.

 

ESCO reviews aggregated supplier survey responses and reports key RCOI metrics as part of bi-weekly Conflict Minerals reporting with each ESCO subsidiary.

 

ESCO conducts a review of summary smelter information to determine if each smelter was certified as conformant or active, or if supporting information presents a “red flag” as defined by the OECD Guidance, such as sourcing from a non-conformant smelter in the DRC or surrounding countries.

 

ESCO disseminates the summary due diligence results and corresponding smelters to subsidiary customer-facing personnel who in turn respond to customer inquiries in the form of subsidiary level CMRTs.

 

Page 3

 

 

Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

 

Annually, ESCO completes the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) Downstream Assessment, the RMI and OECD Due Diligence Guidance Expectations for Downstream companies, at the conclusion of its due diligence and provides a summary of the identified risks and gaps to senior management with recommended action plans to reduce risks and close gaps.

 

ESCO maintains a risk mitigation strategy with the goal of systematically reducing the extent of exposure to Conflict Minerals risks and the likelihood of their occurrence.

 

Conflict mineral reporting requirements are integrated into ESCO’s broader Corporate Citizenship initiative and internal control procedures.

 

ESCO continues to integrate its policies, procedures and systems modifications in a systematic and deliberate manner that will make them integral to ESCO’s business and establish the capability to routinely obtain, maintain, and retrieve the key data required to demonstrate reasonable efforts for compliance for both regulatory requirements and customer inquiries.

 

ESCO’s subsidiaries continue to make progress in integrating conflict minerals into ERP systems to include the identifying the Conflict Minerals Status of supplier parts as a field within the master part list identifying the status as Conformant, Non-Conformant, Undeterminable or Out of Scope.

 

As ESCO reviews supplier responses to the RCOI, any risks identified will be evaluated, and opportunities to mitigate risks will be addressed.

 

ESCO will address unresponsive suppliers and determine options for corrective actions. ESCO subsidiaries continue to assertively outreach to unresponsive suppliers.

 

ESCO submits written warnings to suppliers based on their use of non-Conformant Smelters and Refiners requesting they change their sourcing of materials provided to ESCO to include only Conformant sources of 3TG.

 

Additional fact finding, risk assessments, and changes in circumstances will take place as part of ESCO’s annual review of its Conflict Minerals compliance program.

 

Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelters’/refiners’ due diligence practices

 

ESCO cooperates and participates with industry associations to enhance transparency and traceability in the supply chain and supports independent third-party audits of smelters’/refiners’ due diligence by independent industry associations who perform these audits.

 

Given the nature of ESCO’s businesses, their positions in the supply chain, the associated cost, and the current lack of transparency in the supply chain, ESCO is not in a position to audit smelters/refiners directly.

 

Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence

 

ESCO performs due diligence on its conflict minerals supply chain annually, maintains a process to summarize, review, and approve compliance results and completion of the Form SD and the Conflict Minerals Report and assure timely filing of these documents with the SEC.

 

Page 4

 

 

Continuous Improvement of Supply Chain Due Diligence

 

ESCO will continue to improve its due diligence efforts through increasingly focused efforts including (but not limited to) the following:

 

ESCO continues to direct its subsidiaries to automate the process of identifying the parts and suppliers engaged with during the reporting year, as well as the storage and dissemination of results for customer reporting.

 

ESCO engages with suppliers to obtain more current, accurate and complete information about our supply chain to ensure that any 3TG materials are not sourced from the Covered Countries, to identify the 3TG contained in the products they supply, and on an annual basis to provide current, accurate and complete information on the smelters and refiners used in the manufacture of parts supplied to ESCO.

 

In an effort to improve supplier response rates for parts purchased from third party distributors, ESCO has started and will continue to identify and survey the manufacturers of those parts.

 

ESCO will continue to integrate newly acquired subsidiaries into the ESCO Conflict Minerals program and ensure that all new subsidiaries perform the required risk identification and due diligence to identify the smelters in their supply chain.

 

Determination

 

Based on the process described above, ESCO received responses from 640 direct material suppliers, representing 54% of total suppliers surveyed and 48% of the active parts surveyed that were used in its 2022 manufactured goods.

 

ESCO saw a 25% decrease in supplier survey response rates from 2019 to 2021, we believe due to the impact of COVID, but is seeing a return toward pre-COVID response rates with an 11% increase response rate from 2021 to 2022.

 

Based on the information provided by ESCO’s suppliers utilized during 2022, ESCO believes that the facilities that may have been used to process 3TGs in ESCO’s products include the smelters and refiners listed in Appendix I to this Report. The supplier responses included Conformant, Active (in the process of a RMI audit), Known (previously identified as a Smelter or Refiner by RMI or CFSI) and Unknown smelters, but based on the absence of reliable information on the Unknown smelters, only the Conformant and Active and Known smelters have been included.

 

Supplier responses were primarily at a company level, rather than at a product-specific level. For this reason, we cannot say with certainty that the smelters and refiners identified on the CMRTs processed the 3TG contained in ESCO finished goods. Based on the due diligence efforts and the absence of full supply chain visibility throughout the supply base, ESCO is unable to determine the source of origin of the conflict minerals and does not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of 3TGs contained in ESCO’s products.
