St. Jude Medical, Inc.

Conflict Minerals Report for the Year Ended December 31, 2015

 

Background

 

This Conflict Minerals Report of St. Jude Medical, Inc. (referred to herein as “St. Jude Medical,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the reporting period of January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Conflict Minerals Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The Conflict Minerals Rule requires public companies to disclose whether the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain “conflict minerals” that are “necessary to the functionality or production” of those products.  Conflict minerals refer to: (i) (a) columbite-tantalite or coltan, the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted, (b) cassiterite, the metal ore from which tin is extracted, (c) wolframite, the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted, and (d) gold (commonly referred to collectively as “3TG”); 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”).

 

St. Jude Medical’s operations may at times include manufacturing, or contracting to manufacture, products for which 3TG minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.  As required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, we have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the 3TG minerals included in our products during the 2015 reporting year (“RY 2015”) to determine whether any such minerals originated in the Covered Countries and/or from recycled or scrap sources.  Where applicable, we have conducted additional due diligence regarding the sources of the 3TG minerals.  The results of our good faith RCOI regarding the 3TG minerals, as well as our additional due diligence regarding the sources of such minerals, are contained in this report.  The content on any web site referred to in this report is not incorporated by reference into this report unless expressly noted.

 

Our Company and Our Products

 

St. Jude Medical develops, manufactures and distributes cardiovascular medical devices for the global cardiac rhythm management, cardiovascular and electrophysiology therapy areas and neurostimulation medical devices for the management of chronic pain and movement disorders.

 

For RY 2015, the principal product categories that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture were tachycardia implantable cardioverter defibrillator systems, bradycardia pacemaker systems, neurostimulation products (spinal cord and deep brain stimulation devices), vascular products (pressure measurement guidewires, optical coherence tomography imaging products, vascular closure products, vascular plugs and other vascular accessories), structural heart products (heart valve replacement and repair products and structural heart defect devices), electrophysiology products (electrophysiology introducers and catheters, advanced cardiac mapping, navigation and recording systems and ablation systems) and mechanical circulatory support products (ventricular assist devices and percutaneous pumps).

 

Our Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Process

 

Our Form SD, this report and our conflict minerals policy, which we adopted in May 2014 (the “Conflict Minerals Policy”), are publicly available at www.sjm.com.  The Conflict Minerals Policy

 



 

describes our commitment to supply chain transparency and responsible sourcing of 3TG minerals and our expectation that our suppliers implement conflict minerals compliance programs and provide us with declarations regarding the origin of 3TG minerals in the products and parts they supply to us.  We also maintain a company-level grievance mechanism, through our Business Integrity HelpCenter, available at www.sjm.com, which enables employees and others to report concerns, including any concerns regarding the potential presence in our supply chain of conflict minerals that may have originated from one or more Covered Countries.

 

1.                                      Company Management Systems

 

Beginning in 2013, St. Jude Medical initiated a comprehensive process to comply with the Conflict Minerals Rule and took steps to establish due diligence measures and internal controls with respect to 3TG minerals in our supply chain.  For RY 2015, we maintained our interdisciplinary, cross-functional compliance team and continued to provide management support and resources to that team, to implement our ongoing compliance efforts.  In order to expand our due diligence capabilities in RY 2015, we engaged a third-party vendor, Source Intelligence, to aid in improving the design and implementation of our due diligence process.  Our due diligence process, which is described below, is designed to conform, in all material respects, with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the related Supplements (the “OECD Guidance”).

 

2.                                      Supplier Engagement

 

As a “downstream” original equipment manufacturer, we have no direct relationships or contacts with mine operators or the smelters or refiners that process minerals which may ultimately be incorporated into our products.  Similarly, St. Jude Medical is several tiers removed in the supply chain from mining and smelting activity.  As a result, we must rely on our direct suppliers to provide us with information regarding the 3TG minerals contained in the products and materials they supply to us; and our direct suppliers, in turn, must rely on information provided to them by their suppliers. Accordingly, and consistent with OECD Guidance, we worked with our direct suppliers to obtain information on the origin and sourcing of any 3TG minerals contained in items that such suppliers sold to us.

 

Based on information obtained in prior reporting years and additional review and analysis by our supply chain organization, we identified 437 direct suppliers for RY 2015 who supplied products, components, assemblies or sub-assemblies that may contain 3TG minerals to St. Jude Medical and provided Source Intelligence various means for contacting these suppliers.

 

We then sent an introduction letter to each of our direct suppliers identifying Source Intelligence as our partner in the due diligence process.  Following this introductory letter, Source Intelligence contacted these suppliers and provided them background materials and educational tools with regard to the conflict minerals due diligence process and also informed suppliers as to why the information was being requested.  Utilizing the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”), such suppliers were asked to provide information regarding the sourcing of materials in their supply chain, with the ultimate goal of identifying the 3TG smelters or refiners and associated mine countries of origin.  The suppliers could submit the required information by uploading a completed CMRT or by completing an online version of the CMRT directly into the on-line data collection platform operated by Source Intelligence.  Non-responsive suppliers were sent up to four email reminders.  Suppliers who remained non-responsive following the email reminders were contacted by telephone and offered assistance.  The assistance included, among other things, further information about the process, an explanation of why the information was being collected, a review of how the information would be used and clarification regarding how the information could be provided. If, after these efforts by Source Intelligence, a supplier still did not

 



 

provide the requested information, a St. Jude Medical supply chain employee attempted to make direct contact with the supplier to elicit a response.

 

3.                                      Quality Assurance

 

Supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency and gaps.  Additional supplier contacts were conducted if responses reflected any of the following “quality control” red flags:

 

·                  One or more smelters or refiners were listed for an unused metal;

·                  Smelter or refiner information was not provided for a used metal, or the smelter or refiner identified by a supplier was not a verified metal processor;(1)

·                  Supplier answered yes to sourcing from one or more of the Covered Countries, but none of the smelters or refiners listed are known to source from the region;

·                  Supplier indicated that it had not received conflict minerals data for each metal from all relevant suppliers;

·                  Supplier indicated it had not identified all of the smelters or refiners used for the products included in the declaration scope;

·                  Supplier indicated it had not provided all applicable smelter or refiner information received; or

·                  Supplier indicated that 100% of the 3TG minerals covered by the declaration originated from scrap/recycled sources, but one or more smelters or refiners listed are not known to source exclusively from recyclers.

 

4.                                      Due Diligence Results

 

The 437 suppliers that were identified as potentially containing 3TG minerals in their products were contacted as part of the due diligence process.  We received a response rate of approximately 65% from these suppliers, which represents a 10% improvement from our response rate for the 2014 reporting year.  Approximately 52% of the suppliers who provided us with completed CMRTs in connection with our due diligence efforts indicated one or more of the 3TG minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of the products they supplied to us.

 

337 of the smelters/refiners identified in CMRTs provided by our suppliers were verified metals processers based on Source Intelligence’s smelter/refiner database.  30 of the 337 verified smelters/refiners potentially sourced 3TG minerals from the Covered Countries; however, all but one of those 30 smelters/refiners were certified conflict-free.(2)  The breakdown of the verified smelters by mineral type is as follows:

 


(1)  Source Intelligence maintains a smelter/refiner database of verified metal processors, smelters/processors known to use exclusively recycled metals, mine country of origin information, and DRC conflict-free certification status.  Source Intelligence collects smelter or refiner data submitted by suppliers via CMRTs and compares it against its existing database.  The information in the smelter/refiner database begins with supplier-provided information (data from CMRTs). Source Intelligence then performs additional research (using the internet and industry and government associations’ databases) on such smelters/refiners and outreach (via email and telephone) directly with these smelters/refiners to confirm the data provided in CMRTs.  Source Intelligence’s smelter/refiner verification and outreach process includes inquiries to verify types of metal processing performed (including exclusive recycling), mine countries of origin, conflict-free certification status, and due diligence measures being conducted by those entities who are not conflict-free certified.  Supplier responses listing entities that are not verified smelters/refiners are flagged and suppliers are asked for further clarification.

 

(2)  Source Intelligence relies on the following internationally accepted audit standards to determine which smelters/refiners are considered “DRC Conflict Free”: the CFSI Conflict-Free Smelter Program, the London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery Program and the Responsible Jewellery Council Chain-of-Custody Certification.

 



 

·                  135 gold smelters/refiners were identified as potentially being in our supply chain; 2 of these gold smelters/refiners were identified as sourcing 3TG minerals from a Covered Country and are certified conflict-free.

 

·                  52 tantalum smelters/refiners were identified as potentially being in our supply chain; 15 of these tantalum smelters/refiners were identified as sourcing 3TG minerals from a Covered Country and are certified conflict-free.

 

·                  104 tin smelters/refiners were identified as potentially being in our supply chain; 10 of these tin smelters/refiners were identified as sourcing 3TG from a Covered Country, and all but one is certified conflict-free.

 

·                  53 tungsten smelters/refiners were identified as potentially being in our supply chain; 3 of these tungsten smelters/refiners were identified as sourcing 3TG minerals from a Covered Country and are certified conflict-free.

 

A list of verified smelters and refiners identified by our suppliers in their CMRTs that may have been used to process 3TG minerals that may be have been incorporated into St. Jude Medical products, as well as an aggregated list of countries of origin from which such smelters and refiners collectively source 3TG minerals, is provided in Annex I hereto.

 

5.                                      Future Steps to Mitigate Risk

 

Our due diligence efforts are ongoing and we intend to continue taking the following steps to improve our due diligence measures and to further mitigate the risk in our supply chain with respect to the presence of 3TG minerals originating from one or more Covered Countries:

 

·                  Continue to assess our product portfolio for potential inclusion of 3TG minerals;

·                  Continue to review and refine, if necessary, our RCOI and due diligence efforts in order to reinforce and stimulate supplier engagement;

·                  Integrate any new suppliers that enter St. Jude Medical’s supply chain into our RCOI and due diligence process;

·                  Continue to clearly communicate to suppliers the due diligence and reporting obligations with respect to 3TG minerals and the expectations with regard to supplier compliance, transparency and sourcing;

·                  Continue to compare the list of smelters and refiners identified through our RCOI and related due diligence process to the evolving lists of smelters who have been designated as “conflict free” through independent “conflict free” smelter designation programs; and

·                  Encourage our suppliers to implement measures in their supply chains to use validated conflict-free smelters.
