Exhibit 1.01

AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Conflict Minerals Report

For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

 

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of Agilent Technologies, Inc. (“Agilent,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”) for the reporting period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (“Reporting Year”). The report covers all Agilent majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are subject to the Rule.  

 

The Rule imposes certain due diligence and reporting obligations on US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registrants whose manufactured products (including products contracted to be made for each registrant) contain “conflict minerals” necessary to the functionality or production of those products.  The Rule defines “conflict minerals” to include cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite and their derivatives limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (collectively referred to as “3TGs”) regardless of their country of origin or whether they are used to finance or benefit armed groups.

 

Company Overview

Agilent is a leader in life sciences, diagnostics and applied chemical markets. Our company provides laboratories worldwide with instruments, services, consumables, applications and expertise.

 

Our products that could contain conflict minerals are: liquid chromatography systems; liquid chromatography mass spectrometry systems; gas chromatography systems; gas chromatography mass spectrometry systems; inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry instruments; atomic absorption instruments; microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometry instruments; inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry instruments; bioanalytical Instruments, microarray equipment, raman spectrometers and auto stainer, laboratory automation and robotic systems; vacuum pumps and measurement technologies.

 

Summary of Agilent’s Commitment to Responsible Sourcing

Agilent’s mission is to advance the quality of life and improve the human condition. To support our mission, we are committed to sourcing components and materials from organizations that share our values around human rights, ethics and environmental responsibility. Conflict Minerals is one of our 5 Key Policies. Agilent’s Conflict Minerals Policy is to support the goal of ending violence, human rights violations and environmental devastation in the Covered Countries. To ensure that these messages are easily accessible, Agilent maintains its Corporate Social Responsibility Report for 2018, Powered by Purpose, on its website.

 

Agilent’s commitment to responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals will be met when all the 3TGs used in our products are sourced from smelters or refiners that have been confirmed as conformant to or active in a third-party audit of their management systems and sourcing practices approved by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI).

 


 

 

Applicability

Agilent conducts an annual analysis of procurement and manufacturing activities to identify product categories likely to include products that contain conflict minerals.

 

We conducted reasonable due diligence regarding the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in our products. Based on our efforts, we have reason to believe that some of the conflict minerals present in our supply chain may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or adjoining countries (collectively the “Covered Countries”). We are unable to determine with assurance the origin of the conflict minerals in our products at this time and therefore cannot exclude the possibility that some conflict minerals may have originated in the DRC or Covered Countries.  For this reason, we are required under the Rule to submit this Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) as an exhibit to Agilent’s Form SD.

 

Reasonable Country Of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

Agilent has instituted Conflict Minerals reporting requirements as part of our suppliers’ contractual obligations through the requirement that they abide by the directives in Agilent’s Supplier Code of Conduct.  We expect that these obligations will cascade through our supply chain and that our direct suppliers will extend the same obligations on their suppliers to survey their suppliers.

 

Agilent typically does not purchase Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners.  Agilent’s supply chain is extensive and complex with many layers of suppliers positioned between us and 3TG raw material smelters or refiners (also known as “SORs.”).

 

For reporting purposes, we require our relevant direct suppliers to complete the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) designed by the RMI.  Suppliers are instructed to upload their CMRT to a specific website but if they are unable to do so, they are then requested to submit their completed CMRT to us via email.

 

Design of Due Diligence

Our Due Diligence measures have been designed to conform in all material respects, with the 5-step framework described 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, Third Edition, 2016 (“OECD Guidance”) and the related supplements for 3TG.

 

The OECD Guidance provides a framework for detailed due diligence to support responsible global supply chain management of minerals and is currently the only internationally recognized framework for raw material due diligence.

 

The OECD Guidance (including its Supplements) applies to each of the 3TGs and to Agilent as a “downstream company.”  

 

For the reporting year of 2020, we identified 142 direct suppliers whose products could possibly contain 3TG. We had a 75% response rate from them and accepted 47 CMRTs that passed our due diligence criteria.

 

All RMI smelter information used in this report was downloaded from the RMI website on February 3, 2021.

Due Diligence Framework

In accordance with the Rule, Agilent carried out a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) and Due Diligence process to determine the origin of 3TG metals used in its in-scope products.

Agilent has taken the following measures to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals in its products for this reporting period.

 

OECD Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems

Agilent has implemented programs that are in conformance with Step 1 of the OECD Framework.

 

Responsible Sourcing Policies

 

Established and communicated conflict mineral policy that applies to all direct materials suppliers.

 

Established and communicated Agilent’s Supplier Code of Conduct that includes the requirement to maintain compliance with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and applies to all suppliers.

 

Structured Internal Management to Support Supply Chain Due Diligence

 

Established a cross-functional working level team to oversee Agilent’s Conflict Minerals Program.  The working level team includes members of the Legal, Enterprise Regulatory Affairs and Global Supply Chain functions.

 

The CFO was accountable for the implementation of the policy in 2020.

 

Executive management is briefed on a quarterly basis about the results of Agilent’s due diligence efforts before reviewing potential opportunities to improve it and to mitigate risk.

 

Established a System of Controls and Transparency Over the Mineral Supply Chain

 

Agilent has established a process to identify in-scope suppliers.

 

Agilent has established a supplier-compliance process for its supply chain.  As part of this global process, suppliers receive a written communication regarding our supplier compliance requirements (including those relating to conflict minerals).  

 

Agilent has put in place the necessary controls to promote compliance with the SEC Rule.  Controls include, but are not limited to, our Standards of Business Conduct, which outlines expected behaviors for all Agilent employees and contractors and the Agilent Supplier Environmental and Social Responsibility Code of Conduct.

 

Agilent requires direct materials suppliers to report on their source and use of conflict minerals using the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT).

 

Strengthened Engagement with Suppliers

 

The tone of all communications with our suppliers is positive and supportive reflecting Agilent’s values.

 

Agilent’s Conflict Minerals Program Manager has an open-door policy for all suppliers and offered support to suppliers who lacked the knowledge necessary to provide Agilent with a correctly researched and generated CMRT.

 

Agilent’s Supplier Relationship Owners responsible for purchasing products from our suppliers worked directly with their accounts.  If their account’s products contained 3TGs, they were directed to obtain a correctly prepared CMRT. If the account’s products sourced by Agilent did not contain 3TGs, they were requested to submit CMRT to portal

or go to portal and answer “I am declaring that the products Agilent sources from my company do not contain 3TG.”

 

Provided a Company-level Grievance Mechanism

 

Agilent is committed to providing an anonymous grievance reporting mechanism for our employees, suppliers and other stakeholders who may be impacted by our operations.

 

We have put in place multiple mechanisms whereby employees and suppliers can report violations of Agilent’s policies, including an anonymous reporting hotline

 

 

OECD Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

Agilent is a member of the RMI.  We use the RMI List of All Operational 3TG Smelters, the RMI Smelter Revision History List, The RMI List of Conformant Smelters and the RMI List of Active Smelters as reference authorities for identifying risk in our supply chain. These online tools are critical inputs to help us identify risk in our supply chain.

 

We rely on the RMI to determine if smelters and refiners reported by our suppliers are Conformant with Responsible Minerals Assurance Program (RMAP) Conflict-Free management sourcing standards. These audit standards have been developed by the RMI to assess if smelters or refiners have management systems in place to support responsible sourcing practices.

 

We took the following steps to identify and assess supplier conflict mineral sourcing risk during this reporting year:

From mid-September 2020 through December 2020 Agilent’s Supplier Relationship Owner sent emails to these in-scope suppliers explaining the importance to Agilent of correctly surveying our supplier base and requesting that they provide us with their accurately prepared CMRT.

Our supplier survey followed OECD Guidance as tailored for Agilent’s role as a downstream company. The CMRT form includes questions regarding the supplier’s raw material due diligence policies and procedures, its practices for engaging with its upstream suppliers, SORs from which its 3TGs were sourced, and the origins of 3TGs contained in its acquired products.

We reviewed all supplier CMRT submissions to validate their accuracy and to identify red flags or errors. If issues were identified, a follow-up due diligence email was sent to the supplier requesting assistance on understanding the problem.

 

We compared the smelters listed by our Suppliers’ in their CMRT Smelter List with the RMI’s List of All Operational 3TG Smelters as of February 3, 2021, maintained on-line by the RMI. CMRTs with smelters or refiners found to not be included in the RMI All Operational 3TG Smelters list were returned to the supplier for corrections.

 

Agilent accepted 48 supplier CMRTs that were used as the basis for generating Agilent’s updated CMRT Version 6.01. Eighty-three percent of responses received provided data at a company or division level. In some cases, based on CMRT responses, we were unable to determine the specific smelters or refiners used for components, material or assemblies supplied to us. Therefore, we are unable to determine whether the conflict minerals reportedly in use by the suppliers were contained in components, parts or assemblies supplied to us.

Areas that were at risk were the following:

4

 


 

 

Suppliers that did not respond to our request for their CMRT.

 

Suppliers that did not submit a CMRT but instead provided a declaration letter stating that their products were conflict free.

 

CMRTs that were out of date as indicated by an effective date older than 15 months.

 

Suppliers who provided inconsistent answers.

 

Suppliers who declared that there were 3TGs in their products but did not provide a smelter list or provided an incomplete list.

 

A due diligence letter was sent to these suppliers requesting them to remediate the problems and re-submit an updated CMRT.

 

Annex 1 to this report contains a list of confirmed smelters and refiners who were included in the reports submitted by our suppliers.

 

Step 3 Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

Our strategy to respond to identified risks includes a range of measures that form part of our due diligence process. Measures taken by Agilent to design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks as part the company’s due diligence process include:

Reviewing supplier responses to the CMRT and following-up with suppliers to request clarification or more complete responses, where necessary.

Mapping suppliers against the smelters that they reported in their CMRT to identify what suppliers must remove non-conformant smelters from our supply chain. If in-scope suppliers identify Smelters within our supply chain that are RMAP Non-conformant, we ask them to encourage these Smelters to participate in the RMAP process.

 

 

Step 4: Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter(S) and Refiner(S) Due Diligence Practices

We rely on the RMI to determine if smelters and refiners reported by our suppliers are Conformant with the RMI RMAP responsible conflict-free management sourcing standards.

 

 

Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

Agilent complies with this step through this report filing and its related Form SD to the SEC and making it publicly available on the SEC website.

 

 

Determination

As we do not directly purchase raw minerals, ores or 3TG metals, we rely on our direct suppliers to gather information about Smelters in our supply chain.

 

We received CMRT responses for the year ended December 31, 2020 from 48 in-scope suppliers. All RMI reference data and supplier information were based on data received as of February 3, 2021.

 

Based on supplier responses for the year ended December 31, 2020, we have identified 313 Smelters that are on the RMI list of known Smelters. Of these, 79% were either RMAP Conformant or Active: 235 are certified as RAMP Conformant and 14 are Active. The remaining 64 Smelters were identified as RMAP Non-Conformant.

  

5

 


 

 

We will engage with the in-scope suppliers that have identified the Non-conformant Smelters as being within their supply chain to encourage the Smelters to become RMAP Conformant or remove them from the supply chain.

 

The data provided by suppliers continues to improve with additional Smelter details being included in suppliers’ responses. However, there are still gaps in the information provided where suppliers further down the supply chain have failed to provide details for all components.

 

Responses from suppliers showed that there are still significant challenges relating to information about the country of origin of 3TG metals, and the Smelters from which 3TG metals were sourced, as this information is often unavailable, incomplete, or potentially erroneous.

 

Based on the RCOI enquiry and due diligence efforts described above, we have determined that some conflict minerals contained in our in-scope products originated in Covered Countries. As a result of the incompleteness of some suppliers’ responses received so far through our ongoing due diligence program, we are unable to determine the origin of all conflict minerals contained in all our in-scope products. Nonetheless, we have made a reasonable, good-faith effort to collect and evaluate the information concerning Smelters based on the information provided by our suppliers.

 

We have surveyed our in-scope suppliers in an effort to identify the facilities used to process the 3TG contained in our products. The majority of our 48 suppliers provided a company-level or user-defined CMRT that does not identify the smelters or refiners used for a particular part, component, or business customer. In cases where suppliers provided a part-level report, the identification of the smelters and refiners that support our specific products could not be determined due to lower-tier suppliers reporting on a company basis. Therefore, we are unable to identify with certainty the specific facilities used to process the 3TGs in our products and whether the 3TGs in our products was obtained from recycled or scrap sources.

 

By comparing our in-scope suppliers’ smelters and refiners lists to the RMI Smelter Database, 313 RMI-validated 3TG smelters and refiners were reported by our in-scope suppliers.

 

Based on information provided by RMI and our suppliers, Annex 2 contains the Country of Origin list for the RMI conformant smelters and refiners in our supply chain.

 

Continuous Improvement Efforts to Mitigate Risk

To enhance the due diligence process and further mitigate any risk that conflict minerals used in the company’s products may benefit armed groups, Agilent is taking the following steps:

 

engaging with suppliers (for example, through written communication, meetings and presentations) with the aim of continuously improving the completeness and quality of information provided, particularly in relation to the identification of smelters and refiners and the country of origin of 3TG metals, and in providing CMRT information on smelters and refiners at product level;

improve CMRT response completeness from in-scope direct suppliers through Agilent’s review and feedback to those suppliers using the most current SOR information.

remain aware of developments in Conflict Minerals due diligence apply that knowledge to Agilent’s risk assessment and mitigation actions.
