Conflict Minerals Report of Woodward, Inc.

For the reporting period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of Woodward, Inc. (the “Company,” “Woodward,” “we,” “us” or “our”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) and Form SD (“Form SD”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) for the reporting period January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Rule 13p-1, through Form SD, requires the disclosure of certain information if a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which certain conflict minerals (as defined below) are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. As defined in Form SD, and as used herein, “conflict minerals” means: (i)(a) columbite-tantalite (or coltan), (b) cassiterite, (c) gold and (d) wolframite, or their derivatives, which are currently limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten; or (ii) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an “adjoining country” as defined in Form SD (collectively, the “Covered Countries”).

Woodward’s Manufactured and Contracted-to-Manufacture Products

Woodward, including our consolidated subsidiaries, manufactures and sub-contracts for the manufacture of products for which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. We provide energy control and optimization solutions for the aerospace and industrial markets through the precise and efficient control of fluid and electrical energy, combustion, and motion. Within the aerospace market, we provide systems, components and solutions for both commercial and defense applications. Our key focus areas within this market are propulsion and combustion control solutions for turbine powered aircraft, and fluid and motion control solutions for critical aerospace and defense applications. Our aerospace segment designs, manufactures and services systems and products for the management of fuel, air, combustion and motion control. These products include fuel pumps, metering units, actuators, air valves, specialty valves, fuel nozzles, and thrust reverser actuation systems for turbine engines and nacelles, as well as flight deck controls, actuators, servocontrols, motors and sensors for aircraft. These products are used on commercial and private aircraft and rotorcraft, as well as on military fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft, guided weapons, and other defense systems. Within the industrial market, our key focus areas are applications and control solutions for machines that produce electricity, and fluid, motion, and combustion control solutions for complex oil and gas, industrial, power generation, and transportation applications. Our industrial segment designs, produces and services systems and products for the management of fuel, air, fluids, gases, motion, combustion and electricity. These products include actuators, valves, pumps, fuel injection systems, solenoids, ignition systems, speed controls, electronics and software, power converters, sensors and other devices that measure, communicate and protect electrical distribution systems.

The equipment on which our industrial products are found is used to generate and distribute power; to extract and distribute fossil and renewable fuels; in the mining of other commodities; and to convert fuel to work in transportation and freight (both marine and locomotives), mobile, and industrial equipment applications.

In 2018, Woodward extended its fuel injection systems product portfolio with the acquisition of L’Orange, a world class fuel injection systems technology company, from Rolls-Royce (“Woodward L’Orange”). The acquisition formally closed on June 4, 2018. Pursuant to Instruction (3) to Item 1.01 on Form SD, we do not report on Woodward L’Orange’s use of the conflict minerals, its due diligence, or other reporting requirements in this report. We intend to include Woodward L’Orange in our filing for the 2020 reporting period.


The Company’s Due Diligence Process

The Company’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform to the framework in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”), “OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas,” Third Edition, including applicable supplements thereto (the “OECD Guidelines”).

Woodward has implemented or is addressing each of the steps in the OECD 5-step due diligence framework as discussed or referenced below:

 

  1.

Establish strong company management systems

 

  A.

Company conflict minerals policy

Woodward has developed and adopted a conflict minerals policy, Policy 9-14, Conflict Minerals (the “Conflict Minerals Policy”). The Conflict Minerals Policy affirms that the Company takes our corporate responsibility with respect to responsible sourcing seriously and that it is the Company’s goal to only use in our products conflict minerals that are sourced responsibly. The Conflict Minerals Policy provides that Woodward will take appropriate measures to ensure participants in our global supply chain exercise due diligence and comply with reporting and other compliance requirements with respect to the items Woodward procures from them. The policy is publicly available and can be accessed at https://www.woodward.com/en/about/corporate-governance/compliance. The policy is formally reviewed at least annually to determine if any revisions or enhancements are required to maintain compliance with the letter and the intent of the law. No changes were made to Woodward’s Conflict Minerals Policy as the result of its review for 2019. Over time, we intend to update our Conflict Minerals Policy, our standard supplier terms and conditions, and our long-term agreements with suppliers to more clearly require our supply chain to use SORs that have passed or are in the process of completing an independent conflict-free sourcing protocol audit (such as RMI’s Responsible Mineral Assurance Process). We will also extend the aforementioned supplier terms and conditions and long term agreements to cover emerging minerals of interest beyond 3TG and to address Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas (as defined in the OECD guidelines) beyond the Covered Countries.

 

  B.

Internal management structure

The Conflict Minerals Policy designates the Corporate Vice President of Global Supply Chain as responsible for ensuring our compliance with conflict minerals reporting requirements. Woodward’s Governance and Securities Counsel serves as an advisor on conflict minerals compliance. Conflict minerals have also been a topic of discussion and review at Board of Directors meetings since September 2012.

We assigned our Global Supply Chain group (“GSC”) with the responsibility for conflict minerals compliance to be overseen by the Corporate Vice President, Global Supply Chain. GSC has established an internal team led by a senior GSC leader to manage conflict minerals engagement with our suppliers (such team, the “Core Team”). Woodward is subject to numerous product material compliance regulations, including with respect to conflict minerals, which require enterprise-wide system and compliance processes and integrated process teams to achieve regulatory compliance requirements and social responsibility goals. The Core Team, together with other GSC members and with counsel from the Global Legal & Compliance Department, are the Company’s team of subject matter experts and implementers. GSC is responsible for reaching out to the Company’s supply base on an ongoing basis to collect information, including Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates (“CMRT”), regarding the presence and sourcing of conflict minerals in the products supplied to the Company. The Global Supplier Managers (commodity managers) within GSC have also provided focused support as required. These actions have aligned existing strategic and organizational structures to address the due diligence and reporting requirements of Rule 13p-1.

In addition, Woodward’s product material compliance activity, including conflict minerals, was chartered as a formal project in February 2015 to provide an established framework for the continuing evolution of an enterprise-wide set of material compliance processes and standard work. Woodward’s Corporate Vice President of Global Supply Chain, the Vice President of Information Technology, and the Corporate Vice President, General Counsel,


and the Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer all provide executive guidance and oversight of our product material compliance activities. The product material compliance project manager provides status updates and receives executive project guidance approximately once per quarter. As of 2018, the Core Team, our internal processes, the Assent Compliance Platform (“ACP”) software application, and the efforts of our solution provider, Assent, all achieved sufficient maturity for product material compliance to be considered as a standard element of Woodward’s workflow. Core Team leadership briefed GSC executive leadership during quarterly reviews held during the course of the 2019 campaign. Core Team leadership also kept the appropriate Woodward executive leadership members informed of operations, issues and progress. Additionally, during calendar year 2019, the product material compliance project manager kept business unit engineering leadership apprised of active campaigns and informed as to the status, progress and planned efforts of the campaigns on a weekly basis.

 

  C.

System of controls and transparency over the mineral supply chain

Our existing enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems, WISE and SAP, provide controls over our supply chain. The ERP systems currently provide:

 

   

Identification of the end item products we provide to each of our customers;

 

   

Shipping transaction history to assist in bounding our sales/shipments by calendar year as required by the Rule 13p-1 of the Exchange Act;

 

   

A bill of material identifying all of the components and materials in each of our end item products;

 

   

A purchasing history of each of our purchased components and raw materials and the identification of the suppliers used for these purchases;

 

   

A receiving inspection function that accepts or rejects purchased components and raw materials based upon whether the purchased items meet or do not meet the specification requirements (including specified material requirements) of the associated drawing or other specification documents. This is accomplished by a combination of direct measurements / inspections of the actual parts, or by reviewing the existence and completeness of formal supplier certifications to selected specifications, such as certifying proper use of specified aluminum or steel specifications.

We continued the implementation of ACP and the Assent services to automate much of the Company’s product materials compliance efforts. In addition, Woodward continues to maintain full membership with the Aerospace Industries Association (“AIA”), the IPC – the Association Connecting Electronics Industries, and the Responsible Materials Initiative (“RMI”).

 

  D.

Strengthen Company engagement with suppliers

The Company is committed to conducting business in a socially responsible manner and is determined to partner with suppliers who are similarly committed. Woodward has and continues to significantly enhance its engagement with its suppliers regarding conflict minerals requirements. Our purchase order and standard supplier agreement terms and conditions were modified in 2013 to require our suppliers to support our conflict minerals reporting. Woodward continues to enhance these terms and conditions to achieve improved supply chain transparency and responsible sourcing, with the ultimate goal of obtaining full material disclosure (substance, content-by-weight, raw material smelter sources) to increase the traceability of materials from each supplier.

By accepting a Woodward purchase order, a Woodward supplier:

“…warrants and certifies that it complies with Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act and the Conflict Minerals Regulations and Final Rules issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and any subsequent rules and regulations related thereto (“Conflict Minerals Regulations”), and has implemented compliant processes to ensure its suppliers are in compliance with the Conflict Minerals Regulations.

Where Seller does not have direct and formal reporting requirements under the Conflict Minerals Regulations, and upon request by Buyer, Seller agrees to provide due diligence and Responsible Country of Origin Inquiry


(“RCOI”) information under this Agreement to Buyer in support of Buyer’s reporting requirements (the “RCOI Requirements”). Further, Seller shall promptly comply with all requests by Buyer to provide documentation, and other substantiating data and assurances with respect to its compliance with Conflict Minerals Regulations and the RCOI Requirements as Buyer may deem necessary from time to time. In the event: (a) Buyer deems Seller is not in compliance with the Conflict Minerals Regulations or the RCOI Requirements, (b) Buyer is not satisfied with the outcome of any review of Seller documentation and/or data or otherwise, or (c) Seller does not provide the documentation, other data and/or other further assurances to Buyer as requested by Buyer, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Order or any portion thereof without penalty or further liability to Seller.”

Since 2016, Woodward has conducted one-on-one contact sessions with suppliers to address their inquiries and provide guidance where needed. Development of Woodward-specific formal supplier training courses continues, and we plan to host (jointly with Assent) our first supplier product materials compliance orientation and overview in 2020. Through our contract with Assent, our suppliers have access to an extensive suite of training videos, slide decks, how-to manuals and regulation guidance documents. Our suppliers also have access to online chat with an Assent specialist if they have difficulties or questions while preparing their responses. Since 2016 Woodward has annually participated in multiple Assent Compliance supplier summits and conferences, inviting our regional suppliers to these and providing additional guidance for our joint use of ACP in the campaign process.

 

  E.

Establish a company level, or industry-wide, grievance mechanism as an early warning risk-awareness system

Woodward has a comprehensive ethics awareness compliance policy, annual training and contact mechanisms for members’ concerns or ethics grievances. This allows and encourages members to either contact their leader, or anyone in a leadership position, Human Resources, the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, any other Company Officer, any member of the Company’s Board of Directors, or a hotline / ethics help line (both telephonic and web based) that is managed by an externally contracted agency, which allows for anonymous input if a reporting member so chooses. The details are described in Woodward Policy 01-14 – Woodward Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and in the annual member and leader ethics trainings. Investigations of alleged violations are handled by a Company level Business Conduct Oversight Committee and by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Direct suppliers to Woodward may contact their Global Supplier Manager at Woodward for resolution if they believe elements of Woodward direction may cause them to be noncompliant with Woodward’s stated social responsibility goals and compliance requirements. Woodward GSC members are also available to help our direct suppliers with compliance issues they may have with their suppliers regarding our flow down contract requirements. Suppliers’ conflict minerals representatives may also contact Woodward’s product material compliance project manager, who will facilitate the appropriate guidance or resolution regarding such issues. In 2018, the Woodward Core Team continued its assessment of the feasibility of incorporating social responsibility matters such as conflict minerals compliance into our existing ethics and compliance infrastructure. This assessment is taking an extended duration and will continue into 2019 due to the 2018 acquisition of L’Orange into Woodward and due to a number of changes in or retirements of senior leaders.

We intend to evaluate the grievance process and mechanisms developed by RMI and to assess whether we can effectively incorporate them into our current processes and mechanisms for responsible minerals sourcing.

 

  2.

Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

Woodward is a downstream manufacturer. As such, Woodward does not control the origin or composition of many of the materials provided by our suppliers. Consequently, we ask our suppliers to inquire, identify, and conduct data collection and due diligence activities, which in turn are fundamental elements of our due diligence activities. Woodward conducts analyses of the data collected from our first-tier suppliers for accuracy and completeness in order to identify and assess risks in the Woodward supply chain. This includes:

 

   

The initial smelter checklist analysis contained in the CMRT

 

   

Assent validation of SOR lists in the supplier CMRTs, using an extensive database consisting of the RMI, Responsible Jewelry Network, and London Bullion Market Association validated SOR lists, and the results of Assent’s extensive internal and independent SOR validation efforts


   

The indirect analysis input that Woodward has acquired as a result of submitting interim roll-up CMRTs to our customers and receiving analysis results from the various software applications they use

In 2015, Woodward started (on a manual basis) to use both the publicly available RMI SOR list, and the RMI compliance and country of origin databases available through our RMI membership. Since then, we have continued that approach and have applied it to the roll-up Woodward CMRT that ACP generates from our valid supplier CMRTs. As it becomes available via RMI or ACP, Woodward intends to utilize the certification results of sources certified to the Fairtrade Standard for Gold and Precious Metals.

For suppliers’ smelter inputs that are still undetermined (i.e., the source has not been confirmed as a smelter, or its conflict-free sourcing status has not been identified through the above validation programs), ACP automatically provides a corrective action request to suppliers having such inputs. Assent and Woodward jointly work with suppliers needing additional assistance to correct or eliminate these undetermined inputs as appropriate.

There is significant overlap between our RCOI efforts and our due diligence measures performed. Our RCOI process is described in our Form SD.

 

  3.

Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

 

  A.

Report findings of the supply chain risk assessment, including conflict minerals compliance, to the designated senior management of the Company

In addition to the product material compliance project core team or its leader reporting to executive leadership and to Global Supply Chain as identified in 1B above, for 2019 Woodward, with significant Assent support, continued to conduct one-on-one supplier contacts and perform assessments on supplier-provided SOR data as described in the Woodward Calendar Year 2019 Due Diligence Results section of this Conflict Minerals Report.

 

   

Woodward conducts periodic supplier reviews by commodity grouping with the Corporate Vice President of Global Supply Chain and the commodity directors.

 

   

The periodic reviews conducted by each business group president include a review of supply chain issues for that business group.

 

   

Each year, senior GSC leadership engage in a strategic planning review and a mid-year review with senior management of the Company, including with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, to provide, at the highest level of management, strategic oversight of our supply chain strategies and performance.

 

  B.

Devise and adopt a risk management plan

Woodward has several formal procedures and tools relative to risk management that form a solid foundation for our planned improvement actions to incorporate specific conflict minerals aspects of risk management. These existing procedures include but are not limited to our supplier approval process, our purchasing procedures, our purchase order and supplier agreement terms and conditions (described in Due Diligence section 1D above), our supplier registration portal and our Parts Transition Process, as well as the evaluation of other existing and possible future software solutions. In addition, our Assent Compliance Platform and services perform a risk assessment and risk rating on each received supplier CMRT.

 

  C.

Implement the risk mitigation plan

Woodward is continuing to develop a risk management and mitigation plan providing for actions to be taken should Woodward determine if any conflict minerals are sourced from conflict-affected areas of Covered Countries. This started with Woodward co-signing, together with more than 40 other companies, an annual letter coordinated by Assent. Beginning in 2017, this letter was sent to every SOR that has not completed or that was not actively participating in an independent conflict-free sourcing practices audit, and was sent to enable the assessment of the use of conflict-free sourcing practices. We continue to participate in this annual letter and we intend to extend this risk mitigation practice by sending letters directly from Woodward to our supply chain.


In 2019, Woodward continued to engage in additional fact finding and risk assessments to identify risks requiring mitigation or after a change in circumstances. These activities are described above. The enhanced inquiry and assessment activities discussed for RCOI in our Form SD also provide additional and refined findings for risk identification and assessment. These activities are discussed in the RCOI Improvement Actions Continuing or Planned section at the end of our Form SD.

 

  4.

Carry out independent third-party audits of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain

Woodward is significantly downstream in the supply chain from smelters and refiners. In order to obtain SOR information, Woodward seeks information from our upstream suppliers and from third party data aggregating services. Woodward joined what is now known as the Responsible Business Alliance’s Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) in late 2015 to leverage the RMI Conflict Free Smelter audit program, the subsequent RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process and the resulting audit data from that program. We will also leverage any equivalent audit data that may be obtained through Woodward’s memberships in the AIA and IPC.

 

  5.

Report annually on supply chain due diligence

The Form SD is posted as one of our many required SEC filings as a document link at https://ir.woodward.com/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx. The Conflict Minerals Report, when required, is also posted as a document link at https://www.woodward.com/en/about/corporate-governance/compliance. These postings are completed within one business week of the filing of these documents with the SEC. Also in compliance with the SEC Final Rule, Woodward’s Conflict Minerals Policy, Policy 09-14, is posted as a document link at https://www.woodward.com/en/about/corporate-governance/compliance. Woodward has published a Sustainability Report, which summarizes our Conflict Minerals Policy and provides the context of conflict minerals compliance and objectives within our overall sustainability goals, initiatives and practices. The Sustainability Report is available as a document link at https://www.woodward.com/en/about/social-responsibility.

Woodward Calendar Year 2019 Due Diligence Results

Woodward Conflict Minerals Data Requests and Supplier Responses (the Due Diligence in Acquiring Supplier Data)

Woodward initiated its 2019 campaign via ACP with a campaign alert letter to new suppliers on January 28, 2020, followed by CMRT requests to our suppliers on February 20, 2020, requesting both part level CMRTs and updated contact data. The campaign was initiated later than anticipated due to the effort required to support other urgent Woodward material compliance campaigns. This is the third reporting year that Woodward has requested part-level CMRTs if they are readily available or producible. If suppliers cannot provide part-level CMRTs, then we would continue to accept company level CMRTs. We are using the suppliers’ CMRTs to identify if they had a parent company, their parent company contact data if applicable, and whether their conflict minerals reporting was from a corporate or business group level. This is to further improve our inquiry approach in future reporting years. Follow-up inquiries were sent to current non-respondents via ACP on March 05 and 23. Escalation follow-ups were sent as personalized e-mails from our Assent Supplier Engagement Team on March 30, April 8 and April 14, 2020. As part of the escalation, Assent separated those suppliers who reported a “no 3TG” status for 2018 into a separate simplified campaign, asking them if they could confirm their “no 3TG” status for 2019. Follow-up with suppliers submitting incomplete or incorrect CMRTs began March 11, 2020. Woodward’s supplier CMRT response status as of April 28, 2020 was:

Total # of Supplier records – 2,205 for 2019 versus 1,823 for 2018

Total # of emails sent – 6 separate inquiries on an approximately 2-week interval to non-responsive suppliers

Total # of CMRTs received – 1,060 (52.3%) for 2019 versus 1,163 (63.8%) for 2018

Total # of valid CMRTs received – 975 (44.2%) (“valid” indicates an Excel file CMRT with no checker-tab-indicated errors) versus 1,038 (56.9%) for 2018.


We received 103 fewer CMRTs this year, and our total supplier count increased by 382, which directly contributed to the lower percent response. 140 (14%) of our supplier CMRT responses at the Woodward-requested part or part-family level, compared to 202 (18%) last year. Woodward believes that three factors contributed significantly to the reductions we saw in our 2019 CMRT response rate. First, supplier interest in responding to CMRT requests and the general conflict minerals scheme appeared to wane in 2020 for the Reporting Period as compared to the responses in 2019 for the 2018 reporting period, as reflected in supplier responses to many of our CMRT requests. Second, also based on a number of supplier responses, it appears that some upstream suppliers believe they only need to provide information related to sales made during the current reporting year. However, Woodward and other downstream customers in many cases use components purchased in prior years within the products they introduce into the stream of commerce during the current reporting year. This results in a need from Woodward and other downstream suppliers for CMRT data from prior timeframes that can be challenging to acquire. The third factor, of particular impact to the response rate for the Reporting Period, is the global coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. Woodward’s supplier inquiry campaign for the Reporting Period began nearly three weeks earlier than our campaign for the prior year period, and as such we hoped to capitalize on supplier CMRT completion for customers that had inquired even earlier. However, our campaign overlapped the massive impact of COVID-19 and the resulting stay-at-home orders in many locations. Numerous Woodward suppliers have ceased operations, suspended operations, or are otherwise dealing with severe economic conditions that we believe resulted in deprioritizing CMRT responses.

Supplier Response Assessment (Smelter Determination Due Diligence)

ACP generated an integrated roll-up CMRT from all valid supplier CMRTs received as of April 28, 2020. This resulted in the 307 SOR (compared to 321 SOR for 2018) with RMI identification numbers listed in the table below who provide through our supply chain conflict minerals used in Woodward’s products

We then used RMI’s SOR compliance status and mine country of origin data available to Woodward as a RMI member with the following summary results based on both Woodward’s campaign data as of April 28, 2020 and the


RMI compliance and mine country of origin data as of April 1, 2020: of the 307 identified SORs we identified, all 307 were eligible for RMI audit. 235 of the SORs were determined by RMI to be “Conformant” (meaning the SOR follows DRC Conflict Free protocols as determined by audit or by a specific membership), 7 are designated as “Active”, and 51 other SORs are in communication, in vetting or awaiting outreach with RMI for audits. Mine country of origin data was not available for one of the 235 Conformant SORs. One gold refiner was audited by the Responsible Jewelry Council but its mine country of origin determination was not disclosed to RMI. 65 of the conformant SORs had their mine country of origin data provided by the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) on an aggregate basis to RMI. RMI found 7 SORs on Woodward’s list to be non-conformant, as compared to 6 in the prior year; we intend to conduct further investigations to identify the suppliers using these SORs to the extent possible and determine if that use relates to any items we procure from those suppliers. The Woodward due diligence process via ACP and Assent services have also identified specific suppliers that source from one or more of 5 different SORs that are categorized as “high risk” based on their sourcing practices and relationships. Woodward will conduct an outreach to these suppliers via Assent to request that they encourage these SORs to participate in a third party audit program, and/or to encourage and facilitate these suppliers’ migration to alternate, acceptable SORs. Finally, Assent services teams acting on behalf of Woodward identified suppliers who listed one or both of two SORs which are on trade sanctions lists. Both of these sanctioned SORs ceased operations prior to January 2019; therefore, 3TG was no longer available for purchase from them during the current reporting year.

Concluding Statement

Woodward continues to make significant year-over-year progress relative to supplier conflict minerals risk analysis, SOR identification and mine country of origin through improvements in our due diligence activity, our greater use of the ACP and other Assent services, and our association memberships. The combined availability of RMI and LBMA audit results provided Woodward the most comprehensive mine country of origin data to date. However, because: (i) Woodward has not yet achieved a 100% supplier response rate; (ii) virtually all of our supplier responses are still at a company level and not yet focused on Woodward specific parts; and (iii) complete SOR conflict status and mine country of origin data is not yet available from centralized sources specializing in the collection and assessment of such data, Woodward does not have sufficiently complete or discriminating data at this time to confirm the conflict-free or may-not-be-conflict-free status of any of its product families or individual products. We have also found that significant number of our supplier respondents have supply chains using SOR categorized as high risk, and we will continue to actively address this issue to mitigate and eventually eliminate such usage. Woodward is continuing its efforts and progress on the improvement actions described above.
