Conflict Minerals Report of CSW Industrials, Inc.
In Accordance with Rule 13p-1 and Form SD under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
For the year ended December 31, 2023

This Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) of CSW Industrials, Inc. (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”) is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Please refer to the Rule and Form SD for definitions of terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein.

The Company manufactures or contracts to manufacture “products” that may contain certain “conflict minerals” (as defined below) that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Form SD as (i)(a) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); (b) cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted; (c) gold; and (d) wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted), or their derivatives; 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 (collectively, the “Covered Countries”).

In accordance with the Rule and Form SD, the Company has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the conflict minerals included in its products during the Reporting Period to determine whether any of such conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries and/or whether any of such conflict minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources.

The results of the Company’s RCOI regarding conflict minerals, as well as the Company’s additional due diligence regarding the sources of the conflict minerals, are contained in this Report.

1.    Introduction

CSW Industrials, Inc. is a diversified industrial growth company with industry-leading operations in three segments: Contractor Solutions, Engineered Building Solutions, and Specialized Reliability Solutions. The Company provides niche, value-added products with two essential commonalities: performance and reliability. The primary end markets we serve with our well-known brands include: heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVAC/R”), plumbing, general industrial, architecturally-specified building products, energy, mining, and rail transportation. 

The Company manufactures, or contracts for the manufacture of, a wide range of products, some of which contain conflict minerals. The Company does not purchase ore or unrefined conflict minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners, and as such the Company is many steps removed from these market participants and the sources of ore from which conflict minerals are produced. For this reason, the Company relies on its direct suppliers, many of which are not subject to the Rule, to investigate their upstream suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals in the components and materials that the Company purchases and incorporates into its product lines. Along with this, the Company conducts due diligence processes reflecting the Company’s circumstances and position in the supply chain to ensure that its sourcing practices, and the sourcing practices of the Company’s suppliers, are consistent with its guiding principles on responsibly sourcing conflict minerals.

2.    Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
    1




The Company’s RCOI for the Reporting Period began with an identification of all the Company’s direct suppliers that, due to the nature of their business or the products they supply to the Company, utilize conflict minerals. The Company then contacted each supplier and requested completion of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), which is a commonly accepted worldwide reporting tool for conflict minerals content and sourcing information. The CMRT asked the suppliers, among other things, to disclose the origin of any conflict minerals used in their manufacturing processes and to identify the conflict minerals processing facilities within their respective supply chains.

In total, the Company surveyed 25 of its suppliers, which were all of the suppliers the Company identified as providing components for its products that may contain conflict minerals. The Company received responses from 88% of the suppliers surveyed.

As the Company is a downstream purchaser of products that may contain conflict minerals, the Company’s due diligence measures can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the country of origin of the conflict minerals. Despite having conducted a good faith RCOI, there are inherent limitations in the information provided by third parties, including the possibility of information being inaccurate, incomplete or falsified, despite the Company’s efforts to validate and confirm the information. Based on the survey results obtained, at this time the Company is unable to determine with any reasonable degree of certainty the origin of the conflict minerals in its product lines, and therefore cannot exclude the possibility that some may have originated in the Covered Countries.

3.    Due Diligence

The Company’s due diligence procedures are designed to conform, in all material respects, to the Organization 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 related supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”). In accordance with the OECD Guidance, the Company takes the following measures as part of its due diligence process:

i.Maintains an Established Company Management System
Adopted and maintains a Conflict Minerals Policy
Established and maintains an internal conflict minerals management committee
Communicates with its direct suppliers through the above-described RCOI
Maintains conflict-free sourcing requirements in standard terms and conditions for suppliers
Maintains supplier qualification processes that include, among other compliance inquiries, questions regarding conflict minerals programs

ii.Identifies and Assesses Supply Chain Risks
Maintains a process to review all the individual components of the Company’s current products to identify which products may contain conflict minerals and categorize such materials by commodity
Through its procurement center of excellence, identifies the suppliers through which components that may contain conflict minerals are sourced
Conducts the RCOI described above to identify the smelters and refiners that contribute conflict minerals to the Company’s products
    2



Reviews and compares the smelters and refiners identified by suppliers against the list of facilities that are in compliance with the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process assessment protocols (“RMAP”) established by the RMI


iii.Implements a Designed Strategy to Respond to Risks
Conducts follow up with direct suppliers who do not respond to the survey request or provide incomplete responses
Collaborate with our direct suppliers to investigate any smelter that does not have a conflict free designation or is not in the process of recertifying for such designation

The Company does not have a direct relationship with smelters or refiners and does not perform audits of these entities within its supply chain.

4.     Due Diligence Results

The Company solicited 25 direct suppliers and received a response from 88% of them. Of the responding suppliers, 88% stated that the material they supply to the Company either does not contain conflict minerals that originated from Covered Countries or that 100% of the conflict minerals originated from recycled or scrap sources.

From the information provided to the Company by its suppliers, 310 smelters or refiners were identified in the Company’s supply chain. 304 (98%) are participating in the RMAP and are either in compliance with the RMAP or are active in the application process. The Company continues to monitor and evaluate all its direct suppliers and the smelters and refiners they report with the goal of full compliance with the RMAP.

Below are the smelters or refiners participating in the RMAP, as reported by the Company’s suppliers:

5.    Future Mitigation Strategy

The Company will continue to communicate its expectations with respect to sourcing conflict minerals to its direct suppliers. The Company will also continue to make inquiries to its direct suppliers and provide training and guidance regarding such expectations as appropriate. If the Company determines that any supplier is, or a reasonable risk exists that a supplier may be, sourcing conflict minerals from smelters that are not participating in the RMAP, the Company will require the supplier to devise and undertake suitable corrective action to move to a RMAP compliant source. If appropriate action is not taken by the supplier, the Company will look to alternative sources for the product.
