Introduction

 

Company Overview

 

Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (“FMC-AG & Co. KGaA,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a German partnership limited by shares, is the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, based upon publicly reported revenue and number of patients treated. We provide dialysis care and related services to persons who suffer from End-Stage Kidney Disease (“ESKD”) as well as other health care services. We also develop, manufacture and distribute a wide variety of health care products. Our health care products include hemodialysis machines, peritoneal dialysis cyclers, dialyzers, peritoneal dialysis solutions, hemodialysis concentrates, solutions and granulates, bloodlines, renal pharmaceuticals, systems for water treatment, and acute cardiopulmonary and apheresis products. We supply dialysis clinics we own, operate or manage with a broad range of products and also sell dialysis products to other dialysis service providers. We sell our health care products to customers in around 150 countries and we also use them in our own health care service operations. Our other health care services include value and risk-based care programs, pharmacy services, vascular, cardiovascular and endovascular specialty services as well as ambulatory surgery center services, physician nephrology and cardiology services and ambulant treatment services.

 

Overview of Our Responsible Minerals Sourcing Program

 

In connection with its reporting under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 13p-1, the Final Rule on Conflict Minerals and in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2017/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 laying down supply chain due diligence obligations for Union importers of tin, tantalum and tungsten, their ores, and gold originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas (“the EU regulation”), the Company designed a program to capture the required data within our supply chain for analysis and disclosure (“Responsible Minerals Sourcing Program” or the “Program”). The Program also includes feedback and communication functions to ensure that the Responsible Minerals Sourcing Program enhances our knowledge of the suppliers to ensure that we continually evaluate the compatibility of their business practices with our established practices. The Program was designed to conform, and continues to conform, in all material respects to the criteria set forth in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, 3rd Edition and related Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold (“OECD Guidance”). The OECD Guidance contains the following five-step framework:

 

1.Establish strong company management systems

 

2.Identify and assess risks in our supply chain

 

3.Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

 

4.Support the development and implementation of independent third-party audits of smelters’ and refiners’ sourcing

 

5.Report on supply chain due diligence

 

Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy

 

We have updated our Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy (“Policy”) as part of the Company’s commitment to, and implementation of, the OECD Guidance and its requirement for on-going Program assessment. Our Policy governs the sourcing of raw materials, including those materials identified as sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and “adjoining countries” (defined by the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as countries having an internationally recognized border with the DRC), as well from the Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas identified by the EU Regulation. These countries are identified in Item 1.01, below (collectively, the “Covered Countries”). We also source components, or other materials, that may potentially contain an identified conflict mineral. Our Policy is publicly available at:

 

https://www.freseniusmedicalcare.com/en/about-us/sustainability/supply-chain

 

 

 

 

Description of Supply Chain

 

We operate modern research and development, production and distribution facilities worldwide to meet the demand for our dialysis products and other health care products. We have invested significantly in developing proprietary processes, technologies and manufacturing equipment resulting in a competitive advantage in manufacturing our products. Production facilities and distribution centers are strategically located to reduce transportation costs and facilitate the distribution of products to our customers.

 

We produce and assemble hemodialysis machines and peritoneal dialysis cyclers in our Schweinfurt, Germany, Concord, California, U.S. and Tijuana, Mexico facilities.

 

The Global Manufacturing, Quality & Supply (“GMQS”) division manages the procurement of raw materials and semi-finished goods as well as the manufacturing and distribution of health care products. This center-led approach enables us to:

 

enhance the efficiency of our processes,

 

optimize cost structures,

 

improve returns on our capital invested in manufacturing,

 

respond quickly, and

 

fulfill our commitment to meeting high quality and safety standards.

 

Our procurement policy combines worldwide sourcing of high-quality materials with the establishment of long-term supplier relationships. Additionally, we have processes in place to ensure that purchased materials comply with the quality specifications and safety standards required for our dialysis products. We outsource only after we have qualified suppliers, ensuring they meet our requirements. Interactive Supplier Relationship management and risk management systems connect all our global procurement activities to enhance global transparency, compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct, standardized processes and constant monitoring of our projects and supplier-related activities. Our procurement risk mitigation efforts include (i) the development of partnerships with strategic suppliers through framework contracts, (ii) where reasonably practicable, at least two sources for all supply and price-critical primary products (dual sourcing, multiple sourcing), and (iii) measures to prevent loss of suppliers, such as risk analyses as well as continuous supply chain monitoring.

 

We focus on further optimizing procurement logistics and reducing total purchasing costs. Corporate frame contracts for the majority of our manufacturers of semi-finished goods and raw materials will enable us to improve purchasing terms for our complete network. However, as we are an original equipment manufacturer that assembles and manufactures components and sub-components into finished products, we are largely removed from the processing facilities in our supply chain with regards to conflict minerals and we must rely on the information provided by our suppliers through various due diligence processes.

 

Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Conclusion:

 

The Company performed due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of the subject minerals necessary to the production or functionality of certain of its products. For the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2021, the Company determined in good faith that it was unable to definitively ascertain whether the conflict minerals, necessary for the functionality or production of the relevant products manufactured or contracted to manufacture by the Company, financed or benefitted armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or in the countries having an internationally recognized border with the DRC, including Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia (together the “Covered Countries”).

 

 

 

 

Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

Our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) was conducted, in good faith, through the collection of conflict minerals data from suppliers that we determined to be at-risk for potentially containing the identified minerals in the products that they provided to us during 2021. These products are enumerated in the Conflict Minerals Report filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD. Moreover, our RCOI was developed based upon industry best practices in collaboration with a third-party consultant (iPoint, Inc.).

 

Our RCOI conflict minerals data collection process includes, but is not limited to, the following:

 

1.Develop and distribute free, educational material and training to relevant suppliers

 

2.Initiate survey campaign from relevant suppliers utilizing the cross-industry Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), as well as the iPoint Conflict Minerals Platform (“iPCMP”)

 

3.Compare conflict minerals data received from relevant suppliers to Country of Origin (“CoO”) information available to us via our membership to the RMI

Conflict Minerals Report

 

This document, constituting Exhibit 1.01 to Form SD of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, a German partnership limited by shares (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is the Company’s Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for the reporting period January 1 to December 31, 2021 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As American Depositary Shares representing the Company’s ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, it is subject to the provisions of Section 1502 of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) relating to “Conflict Minerals.” Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act and Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) address the sourcing of tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“3TG minerals”) necessary to the functionality or production of our products from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and adjoining Covered Countries (as defined in Item 1.01 of the Form SD that accompanies this Report) which are known locations where armed groups mine and sell these minerals to finance civil violence. Both this Conflict Minerals Report and the Form SD are also available on the Company’s website at https://www.freseniusmedicalcare.com/en/about-us/sustainability/supply-chain/.

 

The following is a description of the measures taken by the Company, a registrant, to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the subject minerals.

 

Section (1) Due Diligence:

 

The Company’s comprehensive Responsible Minerals Sourcing Program (“RMS Program”) includes a due diligence process that was designed to conform, and continues to conform, in all material respects, to the criteria set forth in the internationally recognized Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, 3rd Edition and related Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold (“OECD Guidance”).

 

The following is a review of the actions comprising the OECD Guidance five-step framework that the Company took to implement our due diligence process:

 

1.Establish strong company management systems

 

a.As part of our on-going self-assessment, we updated the previous policy to reflect our continued commitment to the responsible sourcing of minerals and our integration of compliance with the EU Regulation1 into our overall RMS Program. The Company’s Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy is publicly available at https://www.freseniusmedicalcare.com/en/about-us/sustainability/supply-chain.

 

b.The Company structured internal management to support supply chain due diligence by identifying the responsible business organizations and the individuals within those organizations and establishing a cross-functional Responsible Minerals Sourcing team (“the Team”). The primary and secondary contributors on the Team were designated and notified of their responsibilities. As part of the Company’s annual program review process, the Team conducted a virtual workshop to identify areas for improvement. Training was provided during the workshop and an RMS Program-specific process and procedure document was created for, and is available to, all relevant personnel.

 

c.The Company continued to utilize a system of controls over the supply chain by leveraging the iPoint Conflict Minerals Platform (“iPCMP”) developed by our consultant, iPoint, Inc., to monitor all relevant data.

 

d.In 2021, the Company continued to strengthen and improve supplier engagement over previous years by providing resources to its suppliers and by updating the training provided to suppliers. The Company also provided feedback and engagement recommendations to suppliers that declared potential smelters or refiners (“SORs”) in their supply chains.

 

 

1 Regulation (EU) 2017/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 laying down supply chain due diligence obligations for Union importers of tin, tantalum and tungsten, their ores, and gold originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas

 

 

 

 

Furthermore, the Company maintains a Supplier Code of Conduct to complement its Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy.

 

e.The Company maintains a grievance mechanism in the form of an email inbox, available to the public at cminquiry@fmc-ag.com, also accessible via https://www.freseniusmedicalcare.com/en/about-us/sustainability/supply-chain.

 

2.Identify and assess risk in the supply chain

 

a.The Company identified risk in the supply chain by first identifying each relevant manufacturing facility, globally. A Subject Matter Expert (“SME”) was identified for each facility to be the primary internal personnel with the highest degree of familiarity with the materials, products, and processes for each corresponding facility. In collaboration with the SMEs, the Team then identified the relevant materials that may contain conflict minerals. The Team reviewed the Company’s product portfolio and identified the products that may contain the previously identified materials, and as a result identified the products manufactured or contracted to manufacture with the potential for being at-risk of containing conflict minerals. After identification of the potentially at-risk products, the SMEs referenced their own supplier and/or procurement data, in addition to their existing expertise with that specific supply chain, and were able to determine the applicable suppliers with whom the Reasonable Country of Origin (“RCOI”) and corresponding due diligence were to be conducted.

 

b.The addition of the SMEs’ knowledge and expertise into the risk identification process enabled the Company to focus its resources on suppliers that represented the highest risk of potentially including conflict minerals in the products that we purchased from them during the relevant time period.

 

c.Following the initial identification of potentially at-risk suppliers, the Company began its RCOI process.

 

d.For a supplier to be considered at-risk during the RCOI process, they were either non-compliant or provided SOR data that indicated potential risk. At-risk suppliers were then escalated to the Team for further review and due diligence on an individual supplier basis. The Company’s method for identifying risk of potential financing or benefitting of armed groups is an evolving and ongoing process.

 

3.Design and implement a strategy to respond to risks

 

a.The Team communicates with management, on a yearly basis, any material risk that may be in the supply chain, in addition to ad-hoc meetings to review program progress.

 

b.The Company devised and implemented a 3-step risk-management strategy. The first step involved a review of the returned RCOI data from the relevant suppliers. Then, if needed, due diligence was conducted with the corresponding supplier(s). Following due diligence, an evaluation of the supplier for compliance was conducted. In order to be considered non-compliant, a supplier was either unresponsive, non-compliant with our policy or did not meet our expectations.

 

c.As part of the strategy to respond to risk, the Team provided educational risk management training that included the escalation process as a topic to the relevant personnel.

 

d.The Team was able to identify, monitor and track performance of their risk mitigation efforts and included that information in the meetings with management utilizing iPCMP for identification, monitoring and tracking performance.

 

e.Risk mitigation processes remain in place and are communicated to both the relevant Company personnel as well as suppliers. As a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) our risk mitigation processes related to facilities that smelt, refine and/or process the subject raw materials also remain in place and are consistently reviewed, as contemplated by the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process of the RMI.

 

4.Support the development and implementation of independent third-party audits of smelters’ and refiners’ sourcing

 

a.As noted above the Company is a member of the RMI. The RMI conducts independent third-party audits of smelters on behalf of its members. The Company utilizes the RCOI information provided to members of the RMI to determine the possible country of origin of the conflict minerals necessary for the functionality or production of its products.

 

5.Report on supply chain due diligence

 

a.The Company reports annually to the SEC by furnishing a Conflict Minerals Report with Form SD.

 

b.The Company makes its Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report publicly available on the SEC website and the Company’s website at https://www.freseniusmedicalcare.com/en/about-us/sustainability/supply-chain/.

 

 

 

 

Steps taken and being taken to mitigate risk:

 

The Company has taken a number of steps to (i) mitigate the risk that its necessary conflict minerals benefit armed groups in the DRC and/or Covered Countries and (ii) to improve its due diligence. Those steps include:

 

Continuing to provide free, educational training to our suppliers and the relevant personnel at the Company

Creating and maintaining RMS Program-specific process and procedure documentation for relevant personnel

Focusing on a cross-functional, holistic approach to updating the Program and its Policy to reflect the Company’s commitment to responsible sourcing of minerals

Focus of resources on risk-based due diligence, as discussed in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance

The content of any website referred to in this Report is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference to this Report.

 

(1) Product Description:

 

The Company has determined, in good faith, that the applicable product categories are the following:

 

Dialysis products, including hemodialysis machines and peritoneal dialysis cyclers.

Non-dialysis products, including water filtration units.

 

“The Conflict Minerals Rule requires a Conflict Minerals Report to include description of a registrant's products that have not been found to be “DRC conflict free.” However, under the guidance referred to under “(2), Product Determination” below, we are not required to describe any of our products as having “not been found to be DRC Conflict Free. Accordingly, we have not included a description of our products in this Conflict Minerals Report. Information regarding our dialysis and non-dialysis products may be found in “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business overview – Dialysis Products” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our “2021 Form 20F”). This reference to our 2021 Form 20-F is included for general information only and our 2021 Form 20-F is not incorporated by reference to this Report.”

 

(2) Product Determination:

 

Pursuant to guidance issued by the SEC Division of Corporation Finance on April 29, 2014, we are not required to describe any of our products as “DRC Conflict Free,” as having “not been found to be ‘DRC Conflict Free’” or as “DRC Conflict Undeterminable.” In addition, inasmuch as we have not voluntarily elected to describe any of our products as DRC conflict free, the requirement for an independent private sector audit of this report is not applicable.

 

Results of our RCOI and Due Diligence Measures:

 

Table 1 reflects our RCOI and due diligence for tantalum, tin and tungsten. Table 2 reflects our RCOI and due diligence for gold. The countries listed in the tables are potential sources of origin of the conflict minerals necessary for the functionality or manufacture of the products identified in our 2021 Form 20-F referred to above under “Product Description,” according to the country of origin information available to us as RMI members.

 

The smelters and refiners as defined by the SEC Final Ruling section II(A)(3) declared by our supply chain can be found in Table 3.
