Conflict Minerals Report

 

I. Introduction

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of Digi International Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products and the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals, which we refer to in this report as the “conflict minerals,” are gold, columbite-tantalite, cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “covered countries” for the purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

We are a leading provider of machine-to-machine networking hardware and solutions that enable the connection, monitoring and control of local or remote physical assets by electronic means. These networking products and solutions can connect communication hardware to a physical asset, convey information about the asset’s status and performance to a computer system and then use that information to improve or automate one or more processes. As described in this Report, certain of the products we manufacture or contract to manufacture contain components that include conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. In this Report we refer to such products which were manufactured during calendar year 2016 as the “covered products.” The covered products are hardware products we sell that generally include: embedded modules, gateways, adapter cards and device and terminal servers. Neither the software or services our company sold to customers during calendar year 2016 are considered covered products as these products contain no conflict minerals.

Covered products contain components we purchased from third parties that use tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold. We do not source these conflict minerals directly. Due to the depth of our supply chain, we are far removed from the sources of ore from which these metals are produced and the smelters/refiners that process those ores. Our efforts undertaken to identify the countries of origin of those ores reflect our circumstances and position in the supply chain. The amount of information available globally on the traceability and sourcing of the conflict minerals is extremely limited at this time. We have taken steps to identify the applicable smelters and refiners of such conflict minerals in our supply chain; however, we believe that the smelters and refiners of the conflict minerals contained in the covered products are best situated to identify the sources of the conflict minerals.

 

II. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

We have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the conflict minerals. This inquiry was reasonably designed and conducted in good faith to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the covered countries and whether any of the conflict minerals may have been from recycled or scrap sources.

We group components and materials included in our products based on whether they might contain a conflict mineral. In this manner we determined the scope of our covered products. We asked direct suppliers who provide us with materials and components for our covered products that might contain a conflict mineral to make a reasonable determination if raw materials, consumables or purchased components they provide to us contain conflict minerals. Where appropriate, we also asked direct suppliers to make similar inquiries among their direct suppliers to further inform their responses to our request. We asked these suppliers to complete a supply chain compliance questionnaire based on the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) – Global e-Sustainability Initiative (EICC-GeSI) Conflict Minerals Common Reporting Template reflecting our position on the supply chain. The EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Common Reporting Template is regarded as the most common reporting tool for conflict minerals content and sourcing information worldwide, developed by several of the world’s leading consumer electronics brands.


We received statements or responses from 98.13% of the direct suppliers who supply us with materials or components that we believe may contain conflict minerals, which represents 97.23% of our supply chain spend during the applicable calendar year. As a result, we received statements or responses from approximately 97.18% of our supply chain spend for calendar 2016. We reviewed the statements and responses we received for completeness and consistency of answers and, as appropriate, certain suppliers were asked to provide corrections and clarifications.

 

III. Design and Performance of Due Diligence Measures

Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform in all material respects to the five-step framework in the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas (the “OECD Guidance”).

To address the first-step of the OECD Guidance, we have established strong company management systems by adopting a policy relating to conflict minerals that incorporates the OECD Guidance. The policy is found at the following url: www.digi.com/aboutus/environment/conflictminerals. This policy has also been communicated directly to our direct suppliers.

We have advanced the second step of the OECD Guidance related to identifying risks in our supply chain by analyzing the responses from our suppliers. Certain responses from our direct suppliers pursuant to the RCOI process described above contained names of smelters who processed conflict minerals contained in our products. We reviewed the locations of these smelters in light of the covered countries and compared them against the conflict-free compliant smelter list of the EICC.

The results of our due diligence were reviewed with members of our senior management team and summarized for our Board of Directors to enable us to design a strategy to respond to risks in our supply chain.

This Report is also publicly available on our website at the address identified above to meet the final step of the OECD Guidance to report annually on our supply chain due diligence.

 

IV. Product Determination

Many of our hardware products contain materials or components that include one or more of the conflict minerals. Notwithstanding our efforts described above, we have been unable to determine, after exercising due diligence, whether our hardware products are DRC conflict free and, therefore, we were not able to determine whether these products are conflict free. We received no information from our direct suppliers indicating that the tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold in our products originated in the covered countries, although we have been unable to confirm the sourcing status of these minerals for each of the smelters listed below.

 

V. Product Description

Our suppliers also provided us with the names of approximately 400 smelters/refiners, along with the smelter/refiner facility location, that our direct suppliers have identified as processing the necessary conflict minerals in our hardware products. These smelters/refiners are listed on Schedule A. Of these smelters/refiners, approximately 246 have been identified as compliant and approximately 13 were reported to be active in the process of becoming defined compliant by the CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program as of May 15, 2017. The remaining smelters/refiners were not defined as either compliant or active by the EICC as of the same date. The sourcing status for each of those smelters is unknown. While our suppliers identified smelters they have utilized in the production of components, in many cases they were unable to confirm whether any particular smelter was actually used in the production of components provided to our company.

 

VI. Steps to Improve Due Diligence

We will continue to communicate our expectations and information requirements to our direct suppliers. We will also continue to monitor changes in circumstances that may impact the facts or our determination. Over

 

2


time, we anticipate that the amount of information globally on the traceability and sourcing of conflict minerals will likely increase and improve our knowledge. We will continue to make inquiries to our direct suppliers and undertake additional fact and risk assessments where potentially relevant changes in facts or circumstances are identified. Accordingly, we will continue to encourage our direct suppliers to improve their own due diligence programs, and to encourage smelters in the supply chain to engage with or become compliant with the CFSI or another independent, third-party audit program. If we become aware of a supplier whose due diligence needs improvement, we intend to continue the trade relationship while that supplier improves its performance. We expect our direct suppliers to take similar measures with their suppliers to ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.

 

VII. Independent Private Sector Audit

Not required for calendar year 2016.
