Section 1  Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (the “Company”) is filing this Form SD pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) for the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (the “Relevant Period”). Definitions of capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Conflict Minerals Disclosure shall have the meaning defined in the SEC rules.

 

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

As required by the Rule, the Company’s subsidiary, Clarios Global LP (“Clarios”), undertook an analysis of its products to determine whether it would be deemed under the Rule to manufacture or contract to manufacture any product in which any Conflict Mineral was necessary to the functionality or production of such product. As a result, the Company determined that during the Relevant Period, Clarios contracted with certain vendors (the “Covered Vendors”) to manufacture certain products (the “Covered Products”) that contain Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products. Accordingly, at the direction of the Company, Clarios conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry with respect to the Conflict Minerals in such Covered Products (the “RCOI”), as required by the Act.

 

The RCOI process commenced with the preparation of a conflict minerals questionnaire using the Responsible Minerals Initiative Conflict Minerals Reporting Template that was then distributed by Clarios to all Covered Vendors. The Covered Vendors completed such questionnaires and returned them to Clarios. Clarios personnel then reviewed the responses. When the nature of a response warranted further analysis, Clarios personnel contacted the relevant Covered Vendor for further evidence, either oral or written, to clarify or validate the response.

 

Based on the results of its RCOI, the Company determined that it has no reason to believe that, during the Relevant Period, Clarios’s Covered Products contain Conflict Minerals that may have originated in the Covered Countries.
