Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Woodward, Inc. (the “Company,” “Woodward,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Form SD pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the reporting period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 (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”). Our operations, including the operations of our consolidated subsidiaries, manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products for which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Woodward primarily serves the aerospace market and industrial market. Products we manufacture or contract to manufacture in the aerospace market 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 (auto throttles, rudder pedal assembles, flight control assemblies), actuators, servocontrols, motors and sensors for aircraft. Products we manufacture or contract to manufacture in the industrial market include power converters, actuators, valves, pumps, injectors, solenoids, ignition systems, governors, electronics and devices that measure, communicate and protect low and medium voltage electrical distribution systems. Woodward has determined that some of these products contain one or more conflict minerals, in particular:

 

   

All of the product families listed, except for valves, nozzles, injectors and some pumps, contain (or physically are) electronics, motors and/or sensors. These product families will contain, at a minimum, tin in the lead/tin solder that fastens electronic components to printed circuit boards and tantalum in certain families of capacitors used in printed circuit board assemblies within those product families.

 

   

Gold is used in the plating of connectors and contacts in many of the electronics within our product families.

 

   

Finally, items in all of Woodward product families use a variety of steels, which could contain very small amounts of tungsten as part of their material recipe.

As a result of these determinations, Woodward is required to conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) in accordance with Rule 13p-1.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

As noted above, some of the products Woodward manufactures contain one or more conflict minerals. Woodward does not purchase conflict minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners. Rather, the Company sources products containing conflict minerals from its suppliers. In accordance with the OECD


Guidelines (as defined below), the Company relies on its suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of conflict minerals included in supplied products, including, where possible, the smelters or refiners (“SOR”) of the conflict minerals. There is significant overlap between our RCOI efforts and the due diligence measures we perform. Our due diligence measures are described in our Conflict Minerals Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01.

General

Woodward developed its initial good faith RCOI process in calendar year 2013 (subsequent references to whole years refer to calendar years) and has continued to improve and refine that process in subsequent years. Our RCOI process conforms to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) framework, “OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas”, Third Edition (2016) (the “OECD Guidelines”). We have contracted with Assent to license the Assent Compliance Manager (“ACM”) and we utilize Assent’s support services to automate the supplier inquiry, data collection and data validation tasks essential for RCOI. We are members of the Responsible Materials Initiative (“RMI”), and we leverage RMI’s extensive database of SORs, SOR audit records, and country of origin data. We participate in a multi-company written request, facilitated by Assent, to each SOR that was not participating in, or had not completed, an independent audit program. This request is made to determine compliance to conflict-free sourcing protocols, and to encourage such SORs to participate in the audit program at the earliest practical opportunity.

Supplier Categorization

In connection with the preparation of the Form SD and associated Conflict Minerals Report, we create a master supplier list of direct suppliers who provide items or services directly used in items that Woodward manufactures or contracts to manufacture. Such suppliers are classified as either direct non-distribution suppliers, who fabricate custom designed items to either Woodward specification or supplier-engineered specifications, or direct distribution suppliers, who source items from multiple original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), typically in the nature of a commercial item or items manufactured to standard government specifications. Direct distribution suppliers do not manufacture or contract to manufacture, nor do they influence the functionality or content of the items they obtain from OEMs and provide to their customers. Woodward relies on the efforts and activities of professional societies, including RMI and its Responsible Minerals Assurance Process, to establish and maintain the principal mechanisms for obtaining OEM distribution component conflict minerals status from our first tier distribution suppliers. Woodward also utilizes Assent to contact OEMs directly for compliance status when Woodward is able to provide the OEM’s name and part number.

Suppliers that contribute items or services only for Woodward’s internal operations and infrastructure, and that are not incorporated into items that Woodward manufactures or contracts to manufacture, are not included in the Company’s conflict minerals reporting.

Applicable Supplier Identification

To identify the applicable Woodward suppliers , we generated reports within our enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems to identify the products that were shipped during 2022, using actual shipments from January through September, and forecasted shipments from October through December. We review this list and then exclude suppliers for which we know the parts they supply to us do not contain any 3TG.


Woodward Conflict Minerals Data Requests and Supplier Responses

See “Woodward Calendar Year 2022 Due Diligence Results” in our Conflict Minerals Report for a description of our 2022 conflict minerals campaign, a summary of supplier responses, and the results of our supplier and country of origin due diligence.

Supplier Response Assessment

The Assent services team and ACP provided to Woodward an extensive and comprehensive supplier Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) assessment and validation of supplier responses using a due diligence process conforming to the 5-step due diligence process specified in the OECD Guidelines. We discuss this diligence process further in our Conflict Minerals Report. Assent validated the SOR input provided in supplier CMRTs using an extensive database consisting of the RMI, Responsible Jewelry Council, and London Bullion Market Association validated SOR lists and the results of Assent’s internal independent SOR validation efforts. The CMRTs that passed the assessment process were automatically combined by ACM into a Woodward company level CMRT. Those CMRTs that did not pass were returned to the supplier with discrepancies identified and a corrective action request. Woodward, using its RMI membership and access to the RMI SOR audit records and country of origin data, completed its RCOI down to the mine country of origin level to the degree of accuracy and discrimination available in the RMI database. See “Smelter or Refiner Mine Country of Origin Results” in our Conflict Minerals Report for a summary of our country of origin findings. RCOI Results

Based on our reasonable country of origin inquiry, Woodward has found that some of its suppliers use smelters whose conflict minerals were acquired from mines in the Covered Countries. As a result of our due diligence process and findings to date, the Company has determined to file a Conflicts Minerals Report, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD. Our Conflict Minerals Report is also publicly available as a document link at: https://www.woodward.com/en/about/corporate-governance/compliance.

Exhibit 1.01

Conflict Minerals Report of Woodward, Inc.

For the reporting period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022

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, 2022 to December 31, 2022 (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. Please see (i) our Form SD for a detailed description of our products, including those products that we believe are likely to contain one or more conflict minerals, and (ii) Item 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 for a more detailed description of our business, markets, services and product applications.

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 (2016), 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 adopted a written conflict minerals policy (the “Conflict Minerals Policy”). The Conflict Minerals Policy affirms the Company’s commitment to responsible sourcing of minerals from conflict affected and high-risk areas. The policy is publicly available and can be accessed at https://www.woodward.com/en/about/corporate-governance/compliance. The policy was most recently updated in May 2022 and is regularly reviewed to determine if any revisions are appropriate.


  b.

Internal management structure

Pursuant to the Conflict Minerals Policy, the Corporate Vice President, Global Sourcing is responsible for ensuring our compliance with conflict minerals reporting requirements. Senior Global Sourcing leadership oversees the day-to-day conflict minerals program activities, and they provide regular updates on the conflict minerals program to the Corporate Vice President, Global Sourcing. Woodward’s Director of Governance and Securities serves as an advisor on conflict minerals compliance. When appropriate, conflict minerals and our conflict minerals program are a topic of discussion and review at meetings of our Board of Directors.

Global Sourcing 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. Others within Woodward provide 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.

 

  c.

System of controls and transparency over the mineral supply chain

Our enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems 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 Rule 13p-1;

 

   

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 continue to use the Assent Compliance Manager (“ACM”) and other Assent services to automate many of the Company’s product materials compliance efforts, including our RCOI efforts and our due diligence measures. In addition, Woodward maintains full membership with the Responsible Materials Initiative (“RMI”).


  d.

Strengthen Company engagement with suppliers

Woodward is committed to conducting business in a socially responsible manner and is determined to partner with suppliers who are similarly committed. We continue to engage with our suppliers regarding conflict minerals requirements. Our purchase order terms and conditions and our standard long-term supplier agreement (collectively, our “supplier terms”) require our suppliers to support our conflict minerals reporting. Woodward reviews the conflict minerals provisions in our supplier terms on a regular basis. We desire 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 Final Rule issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and any subsequent rules and regulations related thereto issued by the United States Government and, where identified by Woodward, other governments and/or authorities in regions that Woodward provides its products (“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 Buyer.”

Woodward conducts one-on-one contact sessions with suppliers to address their inquiries and provide guidance where needed. 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.

 

  e.

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

Woodward has a comprehensive Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) and employees receive regular training on a variety of ethics and compliance topics. Woodward also has robust reporting mechanisms for employees’ ethics concerns and grievances. All Woodward employees have the right and responsibility to promptly report concerns, including but not limited to suspected or known violations of applicable law or regulation. Any person may choose to report any such concerns to their leader or any Company leader, Human Resources, Legal & Compliance, any member of Woodward’s Business Conduct Oversight Committee, any Company Officer, or any member of the


Company’s Board of Directors. Additionally, Woodward has established an Ethics Help Line, facilitated by a third party, that employees and other third parties can contact to report concerns, anonymously or with attribution at the employee’s election. The reporting mechanisms are set forth in the Code, and the concepts are reinforced during employee trainings. Investigations of alleged violations are handled by a Company-level Business Conduct Oversight Committee and overseen by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Woodward suppliers are encouraged to contact their Woodward point of contact or the Ethics Help Line 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 team, who will facilitate the appropriate guidance or resolution regarding such issues. Further, Woodward has adopted a Supplier Code of Conduct, which can be found at https://www.woodward.com/en/about/supplier-overview/supplier-code-of-conduct.

 

  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 smelter or refiner (“SOR”) lists in the supplier CMRTs, using an extensive database consisting of the RMI, Responsible Jewelry Council (“RJC”), and London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) validated SOR lists, and the results of Assent’s extensive internal and independent SOR validation efforts; and

 

   

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.

We use both the publicly available RMI SOR list and the RMI compliance and country of origin databases available through our RMI membership, and we apply them to the roll-up Woodward CMRT that ACM generates from our valid supplier CMRTs.

We use supplier CMRTs to identify the parent companies of our suppliers (if any), parent company contact data (if applicable), and whether the supplier reported conflict minerals data at the parent company level or at the affiliate level. The information we gather using this approach enables us to improve the targeting of future campaigns.

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), ACM 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 and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

In 2022, Woodward continued to work closely with Assent to perform assessments of supplier-provided SOR data as described in the “Woodward Calendar Year 2022 Due Diligence Results” section of this Report. Both of our business segments also conduct periodic reviews of supply chain issues for the segment, including conflict minerals and product materials compliance. Additionally, each year, senior Global Sourcing leadership engages in a strategic planning review and a mid-year review with senior management of the Company to provide strategic oversight of our supply chain strategies and performance.

 

  b.

Devise and adopt a risk management plan

Woodward has several formal procedures and tools that form the foundation of the conflict minerals aspects of our risk management plan. These procedures and tools 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, Assent and ACM enable us to perform a risk assessment of, and assign a risk rating to, each supplier CMRT we receive.

 

  c.

Implement a risk mitigation plan

Together with more than 200 other companies, Woodward co-signs an annual letter coordinated by Assent. This letter is sent to every SOR that has not completed or that was not actively participating in an independent conflict-free sourcing practices audit. The purpose of the letter is to encourage participation in an independent third-party audit program and the use of conflict-free sourcing practices, and to leverage the collective influence we may have on the SORs. We also send letters directly from Woodward to our suppliers who do not adequately respond to our initial data requests.

In 2022, 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.

 

  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 is an RMI member and leverages the RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process and the resulting audit data from that program.


  5.

Report annually on supply chain due diligence

The Form SD is posted as one of our many required SEC filings at https://ir.woodward.com/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx. This Report and Woodward’s Conflict Minerals Policy can be found at https://www.woodward.com/en/about/corporate-governance/compliance. The Report will be posted within one business week of the filing of these documents with the SEC. 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 at https://www.woodward.com/en/about/social-responsibility.

Woodward Calendar Year 2022 Due Diligence Results

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

We initiated our 2022 campaign for applicable Woodward suppliers in November 2022 by sending CMRT requests. We sent CMRT requests, at the part level, to 91% of the suppliers we campaigned, and we sent CMRT requests, at the company level, to the other 9% of suppliers. If suppliers were unable to provide part-level CMRTs, then we accepted company-level CMRTs. To eliminate ambiguity in our requests to suppliers, we provide each applicable supplier a complete list of the specific parts that Woodward purchased from them that were incorporated into our calendar year shipments.

As part of each campaign, two follow-up inquiries were sent to non-respondents and, where suppliers had still not responded, we followed up with three further “escalation” inquiries. As part of the escalation, Assent separated those suppliers who reported a “no 3TG” status in 2021 into a separate simplified campaign, asking them if they could confirm their “no 3TG” status for 2022. Additionally, Woodward twice followed-up with suppliers that returned incomplete or invalid CMRTs with corrective action requests.

Summary results for our 2022 campaign, as of April 28, 2023 are as follows:

 

   

We campaigned 1,774 suppliers (compared to 2,544 suppliers in 2021)

 

   

We received CMRTs from 1,041 suppliers for a response rate of 59% (in 2021, we received CMRTs from 1,364 suppliers for a 54% response rate)

 

   

971 suppliers, or 55% of the suppliers we campaigned, returned valid CMRTs (compared to 1,253, or 49%, in 2021)

 

   

139, or 14%, of our supplier CMRT responses were made at the Woodward-requested part or part-family level (compared to 165, or 12%, of CMRT responses last year)

The primary difference in our 2022 campaign as compared to 2021 is that we made significant improvements in identifying suppliers who do not supply parts to us that contain 3TG, which enabled us to engage in a more direct campaign with targeted suppliers. However, despite this more targeted campaign, we saw only a modest increase in our supplier response rate. Additionally, based on the nature of certain supplier responses, it appears that some upstream suppliers continue to believe they only need to provide information related to sales made during the current Reporting Period. 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 Period.


This results in a need from Woodward and other downstream suppliers for CMRT data from prior timeframes that can be challenging to acquire.

Supplier Response Assessment (Smelter Determination Due Diligence)

ACM generated an integrated roll-up CMRT from all valid supplier CMRTs received as of April 28, 2023. This resulted in 345 SORs with RMI identification numbers who provide, through our supply chain, conflict minerals used in Woodward’s products. See Exhibit A to this Report for a list of these 345 SORs. Woodward conducts no direct transactions and has no contractual relationship with these SORs or their sources of ore.

We used RMI’s SOR compliance status data and the results of our 2022 campaign, in each case as of April 28, 2022, to evaluate the 345 SORs with respect to RMI compliance. The summarized results are as follows:

 

   

224SORs were determined by RMI to be “conformant”, meaning the SOR has been verified as having completed a responsible mineral sourcing validation program

 

   

8 SORs are designated by RMI as “active”, meaning the SOR has begun participating in a responsible mineral sourcing validation program

 

   

89 SORs had other RMI designations

 

   

24 SORs are designated by RMI as “non-conformant” (compared to 17 in the prior year)

We have identified 24 SORs in our supply chain that are categorized as “high risk” based on the sourcing practices and relationships of the applicable SOR. Woodward will conduct an outreach via Assent to our suppliers who utilize one or more of the 24 high risk SORS and to encourage these suppliers to (i) request that the applicable SORs participate in a responsible mineral sourcing validation program, and/or (ii) find alternative sourcing relationships with conformant SORs.

Smelter or Refiner Mine Country of Origin Results

Mine country of origin data was available for all 224 of the conformant SORs. Of these 224 SORs, the mine country of origin data for 59 were provided on an aggregate basis to RMI by the LBMA. See Exhibit B to this Report for our country of origin findings as of April 28, 2022.

Concluding Statement

Woodward continues to refine our supplier conflict minerals risk analysis, relevant supplier identification, SOR identification, and mine country of origin through improvements in our due diligence activity, our use of the ACM and other Assent services, and our association memberships. However, because (i) Woodward has not yet achieved a 100% supplier response rate; (ii) a significant majority 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 many supplier respondents have supply chains using SORs that were not conformant to a responsible mineral sourcing validation program, and we will continue to actively address this issue to mitigate such usage through targeted supplier outreach enabled by our use of ACM and other Assent services. Woodward is continuing our efforts and progress on the improvement actions described above.
