Bruker Corporation

Conflict Minerals Report

For the Year Ended December 31, 2017

 

Introduction

 

This Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) of Bruker Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2017 has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Rule requires disclosure of certain information by a company that manufactures, or contracts to manufacture, products that contain minerals specified in the Rule as “conflict minerals” that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. For purposes of the Rule, “conflict minerals” include gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, and wolframite and their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, certain products described below for which conflict minerals are necessary to their functionality or production.

 

We have adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy, which is publicly available at www.bruker.com under “About Us” in “Investors/Corporate Governance/Conduct”. This Report describes our due diligence measures on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals necessary to the products we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture during 2017, our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the necessary conflict minerals, and, to the extent known to us, the facilities used to process the conflict minerals.

 

Products Covered by this Report

 

Bruker, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a developer, manufacturer and distributor of high-performance scientific instruments and analytical and diagnostic solutions that enable our customers to explore life and materials at microscopic, molecular and cellular levels. Many of our products are used to detect, measure and visualize structural characteristics of chemical, biological and industrial material samples. Our products address the rapidly evolving needs of a diverse array of customers in life science research, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, applied markets, cell biology, clinical research, microbiology, in-vitro diagnostics, nanotechnology and materials science research.

 

These products, which we collectively refer to in this Report as the “Products,” include the following: magnetic resonance systems; mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry, infrared and Raman molecular spectroscopy, radiological/nuclear detectors for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) detection, advanced X-ray instruments; atomic force microscopy instruments, advanced fluorescence optical microscopy instruments, analytical tools for electron microscopes and X-ray metrology; defect—detection equipment; handheld portable and mobile X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, spark optical emission spectroscopy systems; and metallic low temperature superconductors.

 

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

We conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the conflict minerals necessary to our Products’ functionality or production. As the initial step in our RCOI process, we reviewed parts and materials used in the manufacturing of our products to identify those that may include conflict minerals. Those parts and materials identified that may include conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the relevant product were then linked to the direct supplier, or suppliers, from which we purchased the applicable parts or materials. Our RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether such conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, or Zambia (collectively, the “Covered Countries”) or came from scrap or recycled sources.

 



 

Our supply chain with respect to the Products is complex, and we do not purchase conflict minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners.  We purchase parts and materials directly, or contract with others to manufacture parts, from a large number of suppliers. In most cases, there are multiple layers of third parties in the supply chain between us and the ultimate upstream source of the conflict minerals. Due to the breadth and depth of our supply chain, we focused on engagement with direct suppliers that accounted for approximately 80% of our purchases of parts and materials where conflict minerals may be included. We requested our direct suppliers to provide information regarding the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals included in the Products, including smelter and country of origin information. To provide this information, our direct suppliers inquired with their suppliers to attempt to identify the ultimate source and country of origin of the conflict minerals included in the Products. We received responses from approximately 75% of those direct suppliers from whom we requested information. The percentage of suppliers that completed the requested survey, as compared to some other form of response, represented a decrease from the 2016 reporting year.

 

Given the complexity of this multi-tiered process, many of our direct suppliers have been unable to identify, verify, and report to us the origin of conflict minerals contained in the Products manufactured in 2017. Based on our RCOI, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine all the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Products.  However, based on the information provided by our suppliers, we have reason to believe that some of the Conflict Minerals contained in the Products may have originated from Covered Countries and may not be from recycled or scrap sources.

 

Due Diligence Design and Process

 

Our due diligence process was designed to materially conform with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, including the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and the Supplement on Gold (“OECD Framework”), an internationally recognized due diligence framework.

 

Our due diligence process in 2017 included the following:

 

Step 1 — Establish strong company management systems

 

·                  We have a Conflict Minerals Policy, which is available on the Company’s website at www.bruker.com under “About Us” in “Investors/Corporate Governance/Conduct”.

 

·                  We have an internal team sponsored by our senior management. The internal team includes representation from corporate finance and the Company’s operating divisions on a cross-functional basis, including purchasing, manufacturing, quality management and research and development. The internal team’s responsibilities include developing and executing the Company’s due diligence process.

 

·                  We maintained a central electronic repository to store relevant documentation created or obtained during the due diligence process.

 

·                  We used a process document summarizing our RCOI and Due Diligence process as a guide to help in completing our procedures.

 



 

Step 2 — Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

 

·                  We conducted a survey of suppliers determined to be in-scope for RCOI in the 2017 reporting year, using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”).

 

·                  We reviewed the surveys, and any other documentation, received from suppliers to validate if parts or materials provided to us include conflict minerals, and if so, to attempt to identify the smelter and country of origin. We reviewed responses for completeness and reliability based on a defined set of red flags criteria developed to help facilitate the review.

 

·                  We compared the smelter information provided by suppliers against the standard smelter list in the CMRT. For those smelters included in the CMRT, we reviewed whether they are currently Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) Conformant or Active.

 

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

 

·                  We used escalation procedures in an effort to obtain responses from all suppliers to which a survey was sent.

 

·                  We classified red flags identified into categories based on the process document noted above, with follow-up procedures performed based on the red flag category. The follow-up procedures included sending a communication to the supplier to either request additional information or validate certain information provided, or performing additional internal review procedures.

 

·                  We held periodic status updates with the internal team to discuss survey response results.

 

·                  We briefed senior management on the status of our compliance obligations and due diligence efforts on a periodic basis.

 

Step 4 — Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices

 

·                  We do not have a direct relationship with the smelters and refiners used to process the conflict minerals necessary to the Products and do not perform audits of those smelters and refiners. We rely on industry efforts, such as the RMI, to influence smelters and refineries to become certified as part of RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process.

 

Step 5 — Report annually on supply chain due diligence

 

·                  We have filed publicly a Form SD, which includes, as needed, a Conflict Minerals Report on an annual basis. This Report is available on the Company’s website at www.bruker.com under “About Us” in “Investors/ Corporate Governance/Conduct”.

 

Due Diligence Results

 

We received responses from approximately 75% of those direct suppliers from whom we requested information. The responses identified potential smelters around the world from which our direct suppliers directly or indirectly source conflict minerals. In the majority of cases, the responses from direct suppliers noted that not all smelters had been identified and did not completely list all the smelters used in their supply chain. In addition, most survey responses were provided on a company-wide basis and did not differentiate as to parts and materials sold to us. Of the potential smelters

 



 

provided in the responses, 332 were included in the standard smelter listing with the CRMT. As of May 22, 2018, 251 of the 332 smelters, or 76%, were verified as RMAP Conformant according to information published by RMI, with an additional 9 verified as an Active smelter. See Exhibit A for a listing of the standard smelters provided from responses received, including smelters verified as RMAP Compliant or Active as of May 22, 2018.

 

As noted above, our supply chain is complex and contains many layers for which many of our direct suppliers have been unable to identify, verify and report to us the origin of conflict minerals. For 2017, based on survey responses from our suppliers, we did not find that any of the necessary conflict minerals contained in the Products directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups in the Covered Countries. However, we did not have sufficient information to conclude that any of our products were “DRC conflict free.”

 

Future Due Diligence Considerations

 

We intend to incorporate the following measures, among others, to further develop our due diligence program and to mitigate any risk that the necessary conflict minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. Development of the due diligence program is expected to include:

 

·                  Re-examining our scoping approach to ensure we have surveyed a significant amount of our supplier spend where conflict minerals may be included.

 

·                  Continuing to engage with our suppliers to increase the survey response rate and to improve the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to us on the survey responses.

 

·                  To the extent any products or materials are reasonably determined to not be conflict free, encouraging our suppliers to implement responsible sourcing practices and obtain their products from smelters and refiners recognized as conflict free by a recognized program such as the RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process.

(1)         As noted in the Due Diligence Results section of this report, most survey responses from direct suppliers were provided on a company-wide basis and did not differentiate as to parts and materials sold to us. In addition, many of the responses noted that not all smelters had been identified and did not completely list all the smelters used in their supply chain.

 

*                 Verified as a Conformant smelter as of May 22, 2018, meaning the smelter is listed as compliant with the RMAP assessment protocols, including through mutual recognition, or is listed as “Re-audit in process” by the RMI.

 

**          Verified as an Active Smelter as of May 22, 2018, a RMAP designation meaning that the smelter is listed as having submitted a signed Agreement for the Exchange of Confidential Information, Auditee Agreement, and a Due Diligence Checklist.
