Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

Roper Technologies, Inc. (“Roper”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is subject to the requirements of the Conflict Minerals Statutory Provision based on the fact that the minerals defined therein as “conflict minerals” are necessary to the functionality or production of products we manufacture or contract to be manufactured. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines the four “conflict minerals” as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite (and their derivatives tin, tantalum, and tungsten) and gold (“3TG”).

 

Company level surveys were performed with affected direct suppliers providing parts and materials for products we manufactured during the 2015 reporting period to conduct the reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”). The Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) was utilized as the basis for this inquiry.

 

We were able to determine that a portion of the 3TG originated, or may have originated, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (“Covered Countries”), may not be from recycled or scrap sources, and a portion of them have unknown origins. Therefore, we were required to exercise due diligence on the 3TG source and chain of custody following a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework. These details are provided in our Conflict Minerals Report, a copy of which is provided as Exhibit 1.01 hereto.

 

Item 1.02 Exhibit

 

A copy of our Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and is publicly available at

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

 

RCOI Design and Implementation
Our reasonable country of origin inquiry has been designed in accordance with the SEC Rule to conform, in all material respects, with the applicable portions of the internationally recognized Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development publication OECD (2013), OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Second Edition, OECD Publishing (“OECD Guidance”) and the supplements on tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold. The portions of the OECD Guidance applicable to the SEC RCOI and our implementation follow:

 

OECD Step 1 - Establish strong company management systems

 

Internal Team - Our four business segments are each composed of multiple subsidiaries; therefore, a management position was established to be the single point of contact to oversee and develop the conflict minerals program. This position works with a team of senior staff and has senior management support and visibility by reporting directly to the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Each affected subsidiary has designated personnel to coordinate with this management position to oversee the execution of the program within their respective business.

 

Company Policy - We have a conflict minerals policy available on our website at http://www.ropertech.com/conflict-minerals, which is communicated internally and provided to our direct suppliers affected by the policy through our annual survey.

 

Background - The U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the SEC Rule require publicly-traded companies to disclose whether the products they manufacture contain certain “conflict minerals” – cassiterite (tin), wolframite (tungsten), columbite-tantalite (tantalum), gold, or their derivatives originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country – have been found to support the civil conflict and human rights violations in the region. If so, a report must be filed specifying those products and the due diligence measures taken to determine their source.

 

Roper’s Conflict Minerals Policy - We are committed to complying with this legislation and with the SEC Rule. Cooperation from our supply chains is necessary to provide source information, as we do not purchase these minerals directly from mines or smelters and, in many cases, purchase finished goods that are several layers removed from these sources. Accordingly, our suppliers are expected to commit to being or becoming DRC conflict-free and to providing the needed transparency of the supply chain so that components and materials supplied to us are DRC conflict-free. Suppliers are to adopt and implement policies, due diligence frameworks, and management systems, consistent with the OECD Guidance, that are designed to accomplish this goal.

 

We request that our suppliers utilize the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and that our suppliers provide the template to their suppliers successively upstream in order to identify the relevant smelters and refiners. The results of this effort are to be compiled and reported to us through this same template and/or a SaaS solution we provide.

 

Page 3 of 13 

 

 

Controls and Transparency – We engage and request information from relevant direct suppliers regarding their due diligence practices and supply chain. Documentation is to be maintained for a minimum of five years.

 

Supplier Engagement – We include contract and purchase order terms and conditions for conflict minerals policy related expectations and disclosure requirements.

 

OECD Step 2 - Identify and assess risk in the supply chain

 

Supplier Engagement Approach and Information Request Process - We have established a system of transparency with our affected immediate suppliers in order to identify the refiners and smelters potentially in our supply chain. Our engagement approach is to annually survey affected suppliers as maintained in a vendor provided software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution. This solution provides for automatic follow-ups to suppliers that have not provided a response.

 

Information Requested - The Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) data collection tool is the basis for our company level inquiries to identify potential smelters or refiners in the supply chain.

 

Review Smelter and Refiner Information – We obtained and reviewed the CFSI member-only Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry information to determine if any of the identified smelters and refiners are known to source from the Covered Countries.

 

Due Diligence

 

Due Diligence Design
Our due diligence measures have been designed in accordance with the SEC Rule to conform, in all material respects, with the applicable portions of the internationally recognized OECD Guidance as follows:

 

OECD Step 3 - Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

 

OECD Step 4 - Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain

 

OECD Step 5 - Report annually on supply chain due diligence

 

Due Diligence Performed
Our due diligence measures performed are described below according to the relative OECD Guidance Steps.

 

OECD Step 3 - Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

 

Supplier Capacity Building - We are a member of the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative which develops many FAQs, training and educational resources. Our annual outreach and survey includes a list of supplier expectations, our policy on conflict minerals, and training and capacity building resources of the CFSI, OECD Guidance, and EICC Extractives and Conflict Minerals Resources.

 

Industry-wide Initiatives – We are a member of the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative participating in their efforts and utilizing information regarding the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”), the member-only Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry data, the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and other guidance documents.

 

Page 4 of 13 

 

 

Supplier Expectations Communicated – Supplier expectations are communicated through the conflict minerals related purchasing terms and conditions for purchasing contracts and orders, in addition to the annual survey.

 

OECD Step 4 - Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain

 

As outlined in the OECD Guidance, the internationally recognized standard on which our company’s system is based, we support an industry initiative that audits smelters’ and refiners’ due diligence activities. That industry initiative is the EICC and GeSI’s Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative. The data on which we relied for certain statements in this declaration was obtained through our membership in the CFSI, using the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry report for members.

 

OECD Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence

 

Our public reporting includes our policy and program information regarding management systems, reasonable country of origin inquiry, identification of possible processing facilities (smelters and refiners) and due diligence performed as made available on our website and in our SEC filing documents.

 

An Independent Private Sector Audit of our Conflict Minerals Report is not required.

 

Due Diligence Results

 

Processing Facilities
Responses to our annual survey identified 291 smelter and refiner processing facilities confirmed as being legitimate by the CFSI that may potentially be in our supply chain. The following is a summary of the 2015 reporting year due diligence results and information from the CFSI Conflict Free Smelter Program member login database as of May 5, 2016 as compared to the previous reporting year:

 

Reporting Year   2014   2015
Smelters/Refiners Identified:   266   291
         
Audited Conflict-Free:   166   214
Active/Participating:*     36     34
Not yet Audited or Participating:     64   43

 

*Active/Participating means the smelter has committed to undergo a CFSP audit or is participating in one of the cross-recognized certification programs: London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) Responsible Gold Certification or Responsible Jewelry Council (“RJC”) Program Chain-of-Custody Certification.

 

A list of smelter and refiner processing facilities identified in the RCOI is listed in Annex I of this Conflict Minerals Report.

 

Countries of Origin
The country of origin information is based on the CFSI Conflict Free Smelter Program member-only RCOI audit information dated May 3, 2016. Of the 214 audited conflict-free smelters and refiners: 40 are known to source from the Covered Countries; 3 source from Group Two, Group Three, and recycled or scrap; 107 source from Group Three and/or recycled or scrap sources; 64 are not disclosed per the LBMA or RJC.

 

-Group One, Covered Countries: The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia

-Group Two: Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa

-Group Three: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Côte D'Ivoire, Czech Republic, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Guyana, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel Japan, Kazakhstan, Laos, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Namibia, Netherlands, Nigeria, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Suriname, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States of America, Vietnam, Zimbabwe

 

Page 5 of 13 

 

 

Conclusion
On the basis of our due diligence for the remaining smelters, we found with respect to each of our products identified above, the information we gathered failed to provide clarity with respect to the origin and chain of custody of the conflict materials contained in the product, nor did the data reveal whether or not the conflict minerals contained in the product directly or indirectly financed armed groups in the conflict region of the DRC.

 

Steps to Mitigate Risk

 

Since the period covered by this Report, we will continue to mitigate risk and enforce our overall due diligence as follows:

 

-Communicate our Conflict Minerals Policy and related supplier expectations to affected direct suppliers;

-Perform annual inquiries of affected suppliers per the CFSI’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template;

-Provide training and educational resource links to our suppliers through the annual survey process; and

-Engage in the CFSI industry initiative to support conflict-free supply chains.
