1. | Introduction |
2. | Company Overview |
3. | Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence |
• | TechnipFMC provided Source Intelligence with at least one method of contact for each supplier designated as in-scope (e.g., email address, telephone number, or mailing address). Email was the preferred method of communication. |
• | The RCOI began with a combined introduction email from Source Intelligence and TechnipFMC to suppliers describing our Conflict Minerals Compliance Program (“CMCP”) requirements and identifying Source Intelligence as our compliance vendor in the process. We informed our suppliers of our Conflict Minerals Policy and our expectation of compliance with that policy, as well as their cooperation in developing conflict minerals data. This email also contained a registration link for the Source Intelligence on-line platform, as well as our conflict minerals questionnaire. |
• | In an effort to facilitate awareness of our CMCP, conflict minerals regulation, and frequently asked questions concerning conflict minerals, we provided suppliers a link to Source Intelligence’s Conflict Minerals Supplier Resource Center (https://conflictmineralsresources.com) in the initial email. The Supplier Resource Center is an educational tool designed to support a deeper understanding of our CMCP and conflict minerals and provides background as to why information was being requested. |
• | We requested that our suppliers respond to our conflict minerals questionnaire, which was based on the Responsible Minerals Initiative Conflict Mineral Reporting Template 5.0 (“CMRT”), an initiative of the Responsible Business Alliance and Global e-Sustainability Initiative. The conflict minerals questionnaire helps our suppliers identify the 3TG smelters or refiners (“SORs”) from which they source their materials, including the materials’ associated mine countries of origin. |
o | Suppliers were offered two options to submit the required information: uploading the CMRT in Microsoft Excel format into the Source Intelligence platform or completing an online version of the conflict minerals questionnaire directly within the Source Intelligence platform. |
o | Suppliers were able to provide responses at the part-specific, product-specific, or company level. The majority of our suppliers provided their responses at a company level. |
• | Supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency, and gaps. If any of the following “quality control” flags were raised, suppliers were automatically contacted via email by Source Intelligence on a bi-weekly basis (up to three times) with a request for additional clarification: |
◦ | One or more SORs were listed for an unused mineral; |
◦ | SOR information was not provided for a used mineral, or the SOR information provided did not relate to a verified mineral processor; |
◦ | Supplier answered “yes” to sourcing from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (“DRC”), but none of the SORs listed by such supplier are known to source from the DRC; |
◦ | Supplier indicated that they had not received conflict minerals data for each mineral from all its relevant suppliers; |
◦ | Supplier indicated that they had not identified all of the SORs used for the products included in their declaration scope; |
◦ | Supplier indicated that they had not provided all applicable SOR information received; and/or |
◦ | Supplier indicating that 100% of the 3TG for products covered by their questionnaire originated from scrap/recycled sources, but one or more SORs listed are not known to be exclusive recyclers. |
• | Following the initial introductions to the program and information request, up to three reminder emails were sent by Source Intelligence to each non-responsive supplier requesting a response to our conflict minerals questionnaire. |
• | Source Intelligence contacted non-responsive suppliers by telephone, up to three times per supplier, to offer assistance. This assistance included, but was not limited to, further information about the CMCP, an explanation of why the information was being collected, a review of how the information would be used and clarification regarding how the information needed could be provided. |
• | Where a supplier was unable to provide a CMRT, Source Intelligence requested information on its suppliers of products or components that might require 3TG for their production and/or functionality. These Tier 2 suppliers, and subsequent tiers of suppliers as needed, were then engaged following the contact procedures explained above. When contact information was provided, Tier 2 and other suppliers were contacted via email or phone in order to build a chain-of-custody back to the 3TG SOR. |
• | Maintained an internal, cross-functional team to support supply chain due diligence; |
• | Updated our strategy to respond to current supply chain risks; |
• | Continued the annual Email and Phone Verification Program, which is an internal verification program to establish specific internal conflict mineral points-of-contacts for our suppliers; |
• | Continued our engagement of Source Intelligence to contact the identified suppliers via email and telephone and manage responses; |
• | Requested suppliers to confirm the presence of 3TG in their products; |
• | Requested documentation from suppliers supporting their responses to our Conflict Minerals Questionnaire; |
• | Evaluated supplier responses for plausibility, consistency, and gaps; |
• | Used government websites and SOR databases to verify companies identified; |
• | Reported risk management findings to senior management; |
• | Reported on supply chain due diligence; and |
• | Actively participated in quarterly working group calls and meetings with oil and gas services companies. |

5. | Risk Mitigation for Future Due Diligence |
• | Develop corrective action plans for non-responsive suppliers to ensure they comply with our supplier requirements; |
• | Continue to assess the presence of 3TG in our supply chain; |
• | Establish clear requirements with suppliers regarding performance, transparency, and responsible sourcing; |
• | Increase the response rate for our RCOI process; |
• | Continue to compare the RCOI results to information collected via independent conflict-free smelter validation programs; |
• | Provide education regarding the Dodd-Frank Act Section 1502 to suppliers to escalate downstream requirements to more tiers of their supply chain; |
• | Engage suppliers who presently source from other suppliers who are using uncertified SORs; |
• | Engage uncertified SORs directly to communicate industry-based need for certification; |
• | Continue to perform due diligence on conflict minerals supplied to TechnipFMC to determine their origin; |
• | Continue to assess the presence of conflict minerals necessary to our products in our supply chain; and |
• | Continue to participate in both local and national industry groups to develop best practices regarding responsible sourcing. |
