Conflict Minerals Report

For The Year Ended December 31, 2014

This Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2014 (this “CMR”) is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”). The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (collectively referred to herein as the “Covered Countries”). Tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold will herein be referred to as “3TGs.”

Harman International Industries, Incorporated (herein referred to as “HARMAN,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) has concluded in good faith that, for the year ended December 31, 2014, we have manufactured or contracted to manufacture products as to which 3TGs are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Based on a “reasonable country of origin inquiry,” HARMAN knows or has reason to believe that a portion of its necessary 3TGs originated or may have originated in the Covered Countries and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary 3TGs may not be from recycled or scrap sources. As a result of the foregoing, pursuant to the Rule, we undertook due diligence measures on the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs as described below, and are required to submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) this CMR as an Exhibit to our Form SD for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

  I. Company Overview

This CMR has been prepared by HARMAN management. The information set forth in this CMR includes the activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated. It does not include the activities of variable interest entities that are not required to be consolidated. HARMAN designs and engineers connected products and solutions for consumers, automakers, and enterprises worldwide, including audio, visual and infotainment systems; enterprise automation solutions; and software services, under multiple name brands. We use externally sourced microchips in many of our products, and several independent suppliers manufacture loudspeakers and electronic products for us. Our broad and complex product range may contain 3TGs within the following components:

 

    Tantalum, used in capacitors.

 

    Tin, used in soldered components.

 

    Tungsten, used in coatings, alloys, heating elements and electrodes.

 

    Gold, used in circuit boards, electrodes and electronic components.

HARMAN adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy Statement (the “Policy”) which is publicly available on our website at http://www.harman.com/EN-US/OurCompany/ResponsibleBusiness/Pages/SupplyChain.aspx. As stated in the Policy, HARMAN expects each of its suppliers to do all of the following:

 

    Establish a conflict mineral policy consistent with the Policy;

 

    Complete HARMAN’s Conflict Minerals survey, identifying products they sell to HARMAN and the smelters that provided the original 3TGs; and

 

    On an annual basis, provide a report to support HARMAN’s SEC reporting requirements.

 

  II. Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”)

HARMAN’s RCOI employed a combination of measures to determine whether the necessary 3TGs in HARMAN products originated from the Covered Countries. HARMAN’s primary means of determining country of origin of necessary 3TGs was by conducting a supply chain survey with direct suppliers using the EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, version 3.02 (“CMRT”). This supply chain survey and the conflict minerals program as a whole has been developed and implemented with our third-party service provider, Assent Compliance Inc. (“Assent”).

 

1


It was decided to conduct a survey of all our direct material suppliers (suppliers that provided materials used in HARMAN’s products). We began our scoping process by completing a supplier list extraction from a list of all of HARMAN’s suppliers. This list was then filtered to remove:

 

    Suppliers of services and indirect materials (such as capital equipment, information technology, office supplies, and other goods other than production parts); and

 

    Inactive suppliers (minimum of 24 months since last purchase).

This ensures that all suppliers surveyed provided items to HARMAN that were used in final HARMAN products in the calendar year ended December 31, 2014. Once the filtering was completed, HARMAN populated the list with contact information and this list, composed of 767 suppliers, was then provided to Assent for upload to their Assent Compliance Manager Software as a Solution (“SaaS”) system.

Assent conducted additional analysis of the supply chain and, combined with supplier feedback, 10.3 percent of suppliers provided a response that allowed Assent and HARMAN to remove these suppliers from the scope of the conflict minerals survey. The factors considered in Assent’s secondary analysis and the information provided that supported removing these suppliers from the scope included:

 

    The product supplied is packaging (packaging excludes labels).

 

    The parts supplied do not end up in the final product. This includes equipment used to make the product but is not a part of the actual product itself (e.g., industrial equipment, computers, etc.)

 

    Supplier is a provider of test lab services (i.e., providers that test the resistance or durability of a product), or other services and indirect materials, or is inactive, but was not previously identified as such.

Assent then conducted the supplier survey portion of the RCOI on the remaining in-scope suppliers, totalling 688.

During the supplier survey, suppliers were contacted via the SaaS system that enables its users to complete and track supplier communications. It also allows suppliers to upload completed CMRTs directly to the platform for red flag assessment and management.

Non-responsive suppliers were contacted a minimum of three times by the Assent Compliance Manager and then were also managed by the Assent Compliance supply chain team in one on one communications. This included two to three follow ups from the supply chain team.

Assent communications included training and education on the completion of the CMRT to alleviate any remaining confusion with suppliers. All of these communications were monitored and tracked in Assent’s system for future reporting and transparency.

The SaaS system also performed automated data validation on all submitted CMRTs. The goal of data validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers in the CMRT. All submitted forms are accepted and classified as valid or invalid, but the data is still retained. Suppliers are contacted in regards to invalid forms and requested to resubmit a valid form. As of May 12, 2015, there were 110 invalid supplier submissions.

 

  III. Due Diligence

Establish Strong Company Management Systems

As described above, HARMAN has adopted the Policy which is posted on our website at http://www.harman.com/EN-US/OurCompany/ResponsibleBusiness/Pages/SupplyChain.aspx.

HARMAN has also established a management system for conflict minerals. Our management system is sponsored by the General Counsel as well as executive-level representatives and a team of subject matter experts from relevant functions such as legal, procurement and engineering, who are responsible for implementing our conflict minerals compliance strategy. Senior management is briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts on a regular basis.

As we do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, we are engaged and actively cooperate with other major manufacturers in the automotive and consumer and professional electronics sectors. Controls include, but are not limited to, our Code of Conduct which outlines expected behaviors for all HARMAN employees, our Supplier Code of Conduct, and a supplier conflict minerals contract clause which is further described below.

 

 

2


We rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of any 3TGs contained in components and materials supplied to us – including sources of 3TGs that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers. Contracts with our suppliers are frequently in force for three to five years or more and we cannot unilaterally impose new contract terms and flow-down requirements. As we enter into new contracts, or our contracts renew, we are adding a clause to require suppliers to provide information about the source of any 3TGs and smelters or refiners. It will take a number of years to ensure that all our supplier contracts contain appropriate flow-down clauses. In the meantime, as described below, we are working with selected suppliers to ensure they provide 3TG sourcing information until the contracts can be amended.

We have strengthened our engagement with suppliers through Assent by:

 

    providing education on conflict minerals regulation as well as the expectations of the law and for a continued business relationship with HARMAN; and

 

    leveraging the existing communications within HARMAN, specifically our procurement department, to encourage their interactions with Assent, as well as understand the requirement for completion.

Feedback from this engagement has allowed us to enhance the training and to focus and adapt it to each supplier’s needs. It has also allowed for our supplier communications to be more focused and ensure expectations are clear.

We have multiple longstanding grievance mechanisms whereby employees and suppliers can report violations of HARMAN’s policies. We have a policy to retain relevant documentation for a period of at least six years.

Design of the Due Diligence Process

Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform with the framework 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 (the “OECD Guidance”) and the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten.

In accordance with OECD Guidance, it is important to understand risk levels associated with 3TGs in the supply chain. Suppliers that utilize smelters for the production of 3TGs that are not certified DRC conflict-free pose a significant risk to the supply chain. In the SaaS system, this risk is classified as “High,” “Medium” or “Low,” and is generated based on three scoring criteria:

 

    Regulated Body: this assesses whether the smelter has an associated regulated body number (Smelter CID Number is the primary method).

 

    Proximity: this assesses the level of risk of the country where the smelter is located.

 

    Level 1 Countries are countries with known active ore production for tin or tantalum that are not identified as conflict regions or plausible countries of smuggling or export of tin or tantalum containing materials. Level 1 Countries are located in North or South America, Australia or Europe.

 

    Level 2 Countries are countries that are known or are plausible countries for smuggling or export out of Level 3 countries, or transit of materials containing tin or tantalum. Level 2 Countries currently include Kenya, Mozambique, and South Africa.

 

    Level 3 Countries are the Covered Countries.

 

    Certification: this assesses whether the smelter is certified conflict-free via the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) or the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) Responsible Gold Programme.

We also calculate supplier risk based on the chances that the supplier provides 3TGs that may originate from non-conflict free sources. The value of this risk is calculated based on the risk ratings of the smelters declared by that supplier on their CMRT.

Additionally, further assisting in identifying risk in the supply chain, suppliers are evaluated on program strength. While many of our suppliers are only in the initial stages of implementing a conflict minerals program, evaluating and tracking the strength of each supplier’s conflict minerals program meets the OECD Guidance and assists us in making key risk mitigation decisions as each supplier’s program progresses. The criteria used to evaluate the strength of each program are:

 

    Whether the supplier has a policy in place that includes DRC conflict-free sourcing.

 

    Whether the supplier has implemented due diligence measures for DRC conflict-free sourcing.

 

    Whether the supplier verifies due diligence information received from its suppliers.

 

    Whether the verification process includes corrective action management.

Based on the foregoing, each supplier’s program is identified as either “Strong” or “Weak.”

 

3


We believe that the inquiries and investigations described above represent a reasonable effort to determine the mines or locations of origin of 3TGs in our products, including (i) seeking information about 3TG smelters and refiners in our supply chain through requesting that our suppliers complete the CMRT, (ii) verifying those 3TG smelters and refiners with the expanding CFSI lists and (iii) conducting further due diligence review of the 3TG smelters and refiners, and obtaining additional documentation and verification, as applicable. Our existing policy related to documentation relevant to our conflict mineral compliance process requires that such documentation will be retained for a period of at least six years.

Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks

In response to the risk assessment described in the foregoing section, HARMAN has an approved risk management plan through which the conflict minerals program is implemented, managed and monitored. If a supplier’s conflict minerals program is identified as “Weak” this is a risk that is dealt with by implementing supplier corrective action measures which ensure HARMAN suppliers have policies and procedures in place that will produce the necessary data in an accurate manner. Once obtained, the data, including smelter and refiner information, is then verified and a risk level of “High,” “Medium” or “Low” is designated, as described in the foregoing section. Updates to the risk assessment of suppliers are provided regularly to senior management.

As part of our risk management plan, to ensure suppliers understand our expectations, we have provided both video, recorded training and documented instructions through Assent. As the program progresses, contacts via email and phone by HARMAN procurement team members will be completed as an escalation to ensure the importance of a response via CMRTs to Assent and the required cooperation for compliance with the conflict minerals rules will be emphasized.

We intend to engage with any of our suppliers whom we have reason to believe are supplying us with 3TGs from sources that may support conflict in the Covered Countries to establish an alternative source of 3TGs that does not support such conflict, as provided in the OECD Guidance. We have found no instances where it was necessary to terminate a contract or find a replacement supplier.

 

  IV. Due Diligence Results

The large majority of the responses received from the supplier survey provided data at a company or divisional level or were unable to specify the smelters or refiners used for components supplied to HARMAN. We are therefore unable to determine whether the 3TGs reported by the suppliers were contained in components or parts supplied to us. Furthermore, suppliers did not always provide smelter lists nor were the smelter lists consistently completed with smelter identification numbers, and therefore we were unable to validate that any of these smelters or refiners are actually in our supply chain.

The current efforts focus on gathering smelter information via the CMRT and, as the program progresses, requiring full completion of all necessary smelter identification information which will enable the validation and disclosure of the smelters as well as the tracing of 3TGs to their location of origin. Seeking information about 3TG smelters and refiners in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of 3TGs in our supply chain.

Certain of the responses provided by suppliers to the CMRT did include the names of facilities listed by the suppliers as smelters or refiners. We do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. Assent compared these facilities listed in the responses to the list of smelters maintained by the CFSI, the United States Department of Commerce and the LBMA and, if a supplier indicated that the facility was certified as conflict-free, confirmed that the name was listed by CFSI.

As of May 12, 2015, we have validated 286 smelters or refiners and are working to validate the additional smelter and refiner entries from the submitted CMRTs. The table set forth on Schedule 1 to this CMR lists the valid smelters identified by suppliers we surveyed. Not all of these facilities have necessarily processed 3TGs contained in our 2014 products. This is because our suppliers generally provided facility information via the CMRT at the company or divisional level, and generally did not limit their CMRT responses to facility information for 3TGs in products they supply to HARMAN specifically. The table set forth on Schedule 2 lists the countries where the valid smelters identified by suppliers are located. Again, as our suppliers generally provided facility information via the CMRT at the company or divisional level, and generally did not limit their CMRT responses to facility information for 3TGs in products they supply to HARMAN specifically, 3TGs contained in our 2014 products did not necessarily originate in the countries listed on Schedule 2.

Based on the smelter lists provided by suppliers via the CMRTs, we are aware that there are 18 smelters sourcing from the Covered Countries and certified conflict-free, and a number of other smelters of which the source is not disclosed at this time but are certified conflict-free smelters. Many suppliers are still unable to provide the smelters or refiners used for materials supplied to us. Furthermore, many of the responses provided at the company or division level indicated an “unknown” status in terms of determining the origin of 3TGs.

  V. Steps to be Taken to Mitigate Risk

Our conflict minerals program will continue to focus on vetting smelter and refiner data including:

 

    Working with suppliers to move to the CMRT 4.0 where new smelter IDs have been assigned.

 

    Requiring the use of the smelter identification numbers. Supplier responses will not be considered complete without identification numbers.

 

    Suppliers will also be requested to inform HARMAN of the correlation between these smelters or refiners and the products and parts they supply to HARMAN.

 

    A comparison of the facilities identified to the CFSI list of smelters.

 

    Efforts to determine mine or location of origin.

We also intend to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary 3TGs in our products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

 

    Include a conflict minerals flow-down clause in new or renewed supplier contracts.

 

    Engage with suppliers and direct them to training resources to attempt to increase the response rate and improve the content of the supplier survey responses.

 

    Engage any of our suppliers found to be supplying us with 3TGs from sources that directly or indirectly finance armed conflict in the Covered Countries to establish an alternative source of 3TGs that does not support such armed conflict.
