Conflict Minerals Report

 

For The Year Ended December 31, 2016

 

This Conflict Minerals report for the year ended December 31, 2016 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule"). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain so-called Conflict Minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. "Conflict Minerals" are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold ("3TG").

 

For products which contain necessary Conflict Minerals, the registrant must conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") or an adjoining country, collectively defined as the "Covered Countries".  If, based on such inquiry, the registrant knows or has reason to believe that any of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in its products originated or may have originated in a Covered Country and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary Conflict Minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources, the registrant must conduct due diligence on the necessary Conflict Minerals’ source and chain of custody as a method to conclude if the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in those products did or did not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.  Products which do not contain necessary Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries are considered "DRC conflict free". In addition, Conflict Minerals that a registrant obtains from recycled or scrap sources are also considered "DRC conflict free".

 

The reporting requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the Conflict Minerals and whether or not the Conflict Minerals fund armed conflict in Covered Countries.

 

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

 

Below is a description of our efforts to determine whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products originated in the Covered Countries during 2016.

 

We conducted an analysis of our products and found that each of tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold can be found in our products. Therefore, the products that we manufacture are subject to the reporting obligations of Rule 13p-1. For 2016, we have conducted a supply chain survey with all our direct suppliers for our products and through them, with all their direct manufacturers, to obtain country of origin information for the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products. The affected suppliers were contacted and requested to provide Conflict Minerals data in the CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT). The results are summarized below under "Results for the 2016 Calendar Year". In accordance with the SEC final rules, we are required to exercise, and have exercised, due diligence in reviewing the Conflict Minerals’ source and chain of custody and to follow a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework. Due to the size and complexity of our supply chain, it will take time for all of our suppliers’ manufacturers to verify the origin of any Conflict Minerals. By using our supply chain due diligence processes and continuing our outreach efforts, we intend to continue developing transparency into our supply chain.

 

 

 

 

Pointer has adopted a policy and methodology in accordance with Annex I, Five Step Framework for Risk-Based Due Diligence in the Mineral Supply Chain from the Organization 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 Framework").

 

1. Products. We believe we are a leading provider of mobile resource management products and services for the automotive, insurance industries and other mobile tracking markets (such as cargo, assets, shipping, containers, etc.). Our products segment Cellocator, is focused on the design, development and production of leading mobile resource management ("MRM") products including: devices for asset tracking; fleet management and security products. These products are both sold worldwide to third party MRM service providers, as well as internally to our own MRM service provider segment, also referred to as the MRM segment. Communication systems contained within our products and tracking hardware utilize either radio frequency or GPRS/GSM technologies. Cellocator has manufactured and contracted to manufacture products as to which certain Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Our MRM segment offers a range of MRM services including: asset tracking; fleet management services; and stolen vehicle retrieval services. MRM services are provided primarily in Israel, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and South Africa and are sold as a bundle which includes both customizable software-as-a-service (SaaS) and our Cellocator products, which are accordingly calibrated to meet the individual demands of customers and their software needs.

 

2. Policy. Pointer has continued to implement and communicate its policy (the "Policy") and methodology, as well as a reasonable and documented due diligence process, consistent with the OECD Guidelines, to determine the use, source, and origin of Conflict Minerals in our global product portfolio. Additionally, we work closely with our suppliers, and though them with their manufacturers, to determine the potential use of Conflict Minerals in our supply chain, and request our suppliers and through them to their manufacturers to conduct the necessary due diligence and provide us with proper verification of the source of the materials used in their products.

 

3. Due Diligence Process. For the calendar year 2016, Pointer adopted a policy and methodology that is in accordance with Annex I, Five Step Framework for Risk-Based Due Diligence in the Mineral Supply Chain from the OECD. The five (5) steps of this framework include (1) establishing strong company management systems, (2) identifying and assessing risk in the supply chain, (3) designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks, (4) carrying out independent third-party audits of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain, and (5) reporting on supply chain due diligence.

 

Step 1 – Establish strong company management systems: Pointer has adopted and communicated the Policy to the public and company’s suppliers. This policy can be found on Pointer’s website http://www.pointer.com/about/corporate-governance/. The content of any website referred to in this Form SD is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Form SD. Pointer structured a Conflict Minerals Task Force comprised of individuals from various areas within the organization to support the process of supply chain due diligence which consists of, among other things, implementing a system of controls to aid in the transparency over the mineral supply chain. This includes, but is not limited to the chain of custody and/or traceability of identifying upstream actors in the supply chain.

 

The due diligence process includes documentation in a structured electronic database of all the suppliers’ manufactures that responded to our due diligence inquiries in a satisfactory manner. Our database content enables real-time identification of all countries of origin of the minerals as well as the smelters status. Since our databases are continuously backed up, this data retention assures availability with no time limitation.

 

 

 

 

Step 2 – Identify and assess risk in the supply chain: Pointer held meetings with management from various departments to discuss the applicable definitions of "Manufacturer" and/or "contract to manufacture". Through this process, Pointer identified products that are affected by the 3TG minerals and mapped them to their respective suppliers. Pointer evaluated approximately 428 private branded components, sourced from over 105 manufacturers determining that all Pointer private branded products were subject to the reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") survey process.

 

Step 3 – In situations where it was determined that a Conflict Mineral is necessary for the functionality or production of at least one of our products, we carried out a RCOI which identified suppliers, and through them their respective manufacturers and the suppliers of their manufacturers. These identified suppliers were surveyed through the RCOI Survey process using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template published by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (formally known as EICC GeSI Template).

 

Step 4 – Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain: Although our hardware products contain Conflict Minerals, we do not purchase any Conflict Minerals directly from mines and are many steps removed in the supply chain from the mining of the Conflict Minerals. We purchase materials used in our products from our suppliers and some of those materials include Conflict Minerals necessary to our products and/or production process. The origin of Conflict Minerals cannot be determined with any certainty once the ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other Conflict Minerals containing derivatives. The smelters and refiners (sometimes referred to as "facilities") are consolidating points for ore and are in the best position in the total supply chain to know the origin of the ores.  We rely on our direct suppliers to assist with our reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence efforts, including the identification of smelters and refiners, for the Conflict Minerals contained in the materials which they supply to us, and we also rely upon industry (for example, EICC and CFSI) efforts to influence smelters and refineries to get audited and certified through CFSI's CFS program.

 

Suppliers’ manufacturers are requested to supply their Conflict Minerals compliance declarations using the CMRT. Such declarations are reviewed by Pointer and verified for completeness and consistency.

 

Any declaration determined to be inconsistent or incomplete is returned to the supplier's manufacturer through the supplier for correction.

 

Under this activity we also track smelters that have not received a "conflict-free" designation based on the CFSI validation program, and also compare smelters identified by the supply chain survey against the list of facilities that have received a "conflict free" designation.

 

VP Operations and CFO were informed of the risk analysis efforts and results, as well as of the actions taken consequently which includes continuance due diligence process.

 

Step 5 – Report on supply chain due diligence: Pointer has compiled its results and filed this report in accordance with Rule 13p-1 through the use of the Form SD and the attachment of a Conflict Minerals Report ("CMR"). Further information is also available by reviewing the Pointer’s Conflict Minerals Policy at http://www.pointer.com/about/corporate-governance/.

 

4. Results for the 2016 Calendar Year

 

The Conflict Mineral process, as described above, allowed Pointer to identify in-scope products and the corresponding suppliers. The survey population included approximately 428 components across 105 manufacturers. Pointer received survey responses from 80 manufacturers ("Manufacturers") covering approximately 349 components, or 82% of the population of components surveyed.

 

 

 

 

Names of 347 different entities were provided to us by the Manufacturers as part of their smelter lists.

 

However, not all of those entities named by the Manufacturers were included in the "CFSI smelter reference list" (the "List") used by us when performing our 2016 supply chain due diligence process.

 

Out of the entities referred to above, we have identified a total of 324 recognized smelters in the supply chain. The remaining 23 entities named to us were not identified as recognized smelters.

 

Below, we provide information about the 324 recognized smelters (the "Identified Smelters"). All entities that were not identified as recognized smelters on the Lists have been excluded for being irrelevant.

 

301 (93%) of the Identified Smelters successfully passed the CSFP or equivalent audit, thereby confirming their conflict-free status under those standards. 22 Additional Identified Smelters have not yet concluded their independent third party audit to confirm their conflict-free status and with respect to one additional Identified Smelter, we were not able to conclude whether its independent third party audit is still in progress, and therefore their determination and responses are not yet final and may vary.

 

Accordingly, the conflict-free status of these 23 un-audited smelters is reported in this Conflict Minerals report as undeterminable, and consequently, our due diligence for these smelters is still ongoing.

 

We have not been able to confirm the identification of and conflict-free status under the CFSP standards for all smelters used in our supply chain. None of the smelters identified in our supply chain is known to us as sourcing 3TG that directly or indirectly finances or benefits armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries.

 

As a result of the due diligence measures performed, Pointer lists in Annex A below the 324 entities that were identified as recognized smelter facilities, which may have been used to process 3TG minerals contained in its products, and their conflict-free status. The conflict-free status is based on the CFSI report.

 

5. Continuous Improvement Efforts to Mitigate Risks

 

The due diligence process discussed above is an ongoing process. As Pointer continues to conduct due diligence on its products, it will continue to refine procedures to meet the goals and adhere to values set forth in the policy outlined above.

 

In addition, we intend to follow up on high risk non responsive or non-compliant suppliers, working with suppliers to educate them on Conflict Minerals sourcing and conflict free designation, contact selected smelters and refiners that have not received a "conflict free" designation for encouraging them to take actions to become conflict free, etc.

 

This CMR is not required to be accompanied by an independent private sector audit in accordance with paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of the instructions to Item 1.01.
