General Electric Company
2017 Conflict Minerals Report
Introduction
General Electric Company (“GE” or the “Company”) has prepared this Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2017, as provided for in Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (collectively, the “Conflict Minerals Rule”). GE manufactures a wide range of products that contain tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold (“3TG”) but GE does not purchase ore or unrefined 3TG from mines and generally is many steps removed in the supply chain from the mining of these minerals. We purchase materials from a wide network of suppliers and rely on them to assist with our reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the 3TG that are necessary to the functionality or production of products we manufacture. After performing our reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence for 2017, we have determined that some of the 3TG contained in our products originated from a Covered Country, and we are therefore submitting this Report, which describes the due diligence we have performed pursuant to the Conflict Minerals Rule and our related processes and procedures.
This Report describes:
• | the due diligence we performed for 2017, including the steps we took to mitigate the risk that 3TG in our products benefit armed groups; |
• | the products that we have reason to believe might contain 3TG originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the “Covered Countries”); and |
• | information about the processing facilities and countries of origin of 3TG used in those products. |
Due Diligence
1. | Design of GE’s due diligence measures |
GE has adopted Conflict Minerals Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) that lay out the design of our 3TG due diligence process. The Guidelines describe procedures that each GE business is expected to use to perform due diligence on the source and origin of 3TG contained in products we manufacture. GE management designed our due diligence measures to conform in material respects to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas including, the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum, and Tungsten and the Supplement on Gold (collectively, the “OECD Guidance”).
1
2. | Description of GE’s due diligence measures for 2017 |
This description of due diligence measures refers to measures performed at the GE corporate level and by the following GE businesses: Power, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas (prior to its combination with Baker Hughes Incorporated (“BHI”) in July 2017; for information regarding the legacy BHI business, please refer to the Form SD filing by Baker Hughes, a GE company (“BHGE”)), Aviation, Healthcare, Transportation and Lighting.
This description is presented pursuant to the organizational structure of the Five-Step Framework for Risk-Based Due Diligence in the Mineral Supply Chain contained in the OECD Guidance.
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
A. | Adopt and commit to a supply chain policy for minerals originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas |
The Guidelines contain the operative provisions of GE’s Statement on Conflict Minerals, which can be found on GE’s website, as well as the process for ensuring that risks are adequately managed. GE Corporate created and disseminated the Guidelines to each GE business for execution of GE’s 3TG due diligence process. Additional GE policies that relate to the due diligence measures contained in the OECD Guidance are incorporated into GE’s policy document The Spirit & The Letter, which can be found on GE’s website (for each of these materials, see “Where You Can Find Additional Information” below).
B. | Structure internal management systems to support supply chain due diligence |
GE Corporate. GE’s Global Law & Policy organization has oversight responsibility for GE’s Statement on Conflict Minerals, including the establishment of processes and procedures to carry out this statement.
GE businesses. Each GE business has:
• | established a system to support performance of due diligence on its supply chain; |
• | documented that system in a written business program; and |
• | assigned responsibility for the execution of the business program to specific personnel. |
Internal reporting. For 2017, GE Corporate used the following 3TG due diligence reporting mechanisms:
• | Reporting within GE businesses: Each GE business conducted one or more reviews of its 3TG due diligence program with senior management in its sourcing organization covering measurements relating to efforts to achieve supply chain transparency; |
• | Communicating across GE businesses: Representatives of GE businesses and others responsible for executing 3TG due diligence held regularly scheduled meetings to discuss design and modification of the due diligence process, share best practices among the businesses, and monitor progress of the due diligence process; and |
• | Reporting to GE sourcing leaders: Sourcing leaders at each GE business periodically receive reports and review the 3TG program. |
C. | Establish a system of controls and transparency over the 3TG supply chain |
Identifying suppliers. Each GE business identified:
2
• | Relevant Suppliers: suppliers that provide inputs to GE products that are known or are likely to contain 3TG through a process that is based on an examination of internal records such as bills of material or other product specifications, a qualitative review of sourcing records, or information provided by the supplier; and |
• | Significant Suppliers: those suppliers within the universe of Relevant Suppliers that are most significant to GE’s 3TG program, using criteria developed by the business, such as the amount of sourcing spend with the supplier. |
Identifying smelters and refiners in the supply chain. Each GE business identified all smelters and refiners of 3TG that are first-tier suppliers to GE and used its best efforts to identify additional smelters and refiners by surveying Significant Suppliers, either directly or indirectly through an independent third-party supply chain expert, based on the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). The survey tools are designed to collect, manage and archive (for at least five years) supplier information relevant for 3TG due diligence including, among other things, the identity of smelters and refiners of 3TG in the supplier’s supply chain. We apply criteria based on the CMRT across GE businesses for assessing the acceptability of survey responses.
Conducting a reasonable country of origin inquiry. For upstream due diligence to identify countries of origin and other relevant information about the conflict status of metals produced by the smelters and refiners identified as potentially in GE’s supply chain, GE relies on the information made available through the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) administered by RMI, as well as information from an independent third-party supply chain expert. GE relied on this information to identify (1) the status of smelters and refiners potentially in GE’s supply chain; and (2) the countries of origin of ores that are potentially in the supply chains of these smelters and refiners. Where the data showed that ores utilized by one or more of these smelters or refiners originated in one or more of the Covered Countries, GE concluded that there is reason to believe that 3TG from the Covered Countries may be present in the products of the business for which such smelters or refiners were reported as potentially in the supply chain. Due to business confidentiality and other competitive concerns, as recognized by the OECD Guidance, the RMI does not publish detailed information on specific mine and location of origin of ores that supply the smelters and refiners subject to verification reviews. Consequently, no such information is provided in this Report. RMI’s efforts to determine such information is described on the RMI website (see “Where You Can Find Additional Information” below).
D. | Strengthen company engagement with suppliers |
Regular communications. GE regularly communicates its expectations on responsible supply chains of 3TG by transmitting surveys and other communications from the sourcing organizations of the GE businesses to Significant Suppliers and other Relevant Suppliers. In addition, the sourcing organizations of GE’s businesses make training available to their suppliers on GE’s 3TG program.
Contractual obligations. Each GE business contractually obligates Relevant Suppliers to (1) adopt policies and establish systems to use best efforts to procure 3TG from sources that have been verified as conflict free; (2) provide supporting data on their 3TG supply chains to GE when requested; and (3) provide GE with audit rights and the right to terminate the contract in the event of material non-compliance. These obligations are reflected in GE’s Integrity Guide for Suppliers, Contractors and Consultants (“Integrity Guide”), which can be found on GE’s website (see “Where You Can Find Additional Information” below). Purchase order and contract terms and conditions in use by GE businesses require suppliers to conform their behavior to the Integrity Guide.
E. | Establish a company-level grievance mechanism |
Integrity Guide. The Integrity Guide provides multiple methods for suppliers and supplier personnel to raise concerns about matters that are subject to the Integrity Guide, including GE’s expectations of suppliers regarding 3TG.
3
Open reporting system. Each GE business also has an open reporting system through which employees and third parties may report concerns about policy violations, including concerns related to our 3TG policies. Concerns can be reported anonymously or for attribution through several channels, including any compliance resource (e.g. GE legal counsel or auditor), by calling the GE integrity helpline at (800) 227-5003, or by emailing the GE Ombudsman at [email protected].
No retaliation. Both the Integrity Guide and the open reporting system forbid retaliation against any person reporting an integrity concern.
Step 2: Identify and assess supply chain risks
A. | Use best efforts to identify the smelters and refiners in the supply chain |
During 2017, using the processes described above under “Establish a system of controls and transparency over the 3TG supply chain,” GE businesses identified 18,208 Relevant Suppliers (up from 7,289 in 2016), including 5,931 Significant Suppliers (up from 2,668 in 2016). These year-over-year increases are primarily the result of acquisitions and improvements in our due diligence efforts. Our Significant Suppliers identified 316 smelters and refiners of 3TG that were potentially in their supply chains (versus 318 in 2016). See Table A below for a list of these smelters and refiners and a summary of their validation status under the RMAP.
B. | Identify the scope of the risk assessment of the 3TG supply chain |
Engaging with suppliers. GE’s 3TG supplier survey asks suppliers to identify smelters or refiners of 3TG in their supply chains. We seek to engage all Significant Suppliers to encourage the smelters and refiners in their supply chains to become validated as conformant by the RMAP or a similar program.
Engaging with smelters and refiners. In addition to engaging with smelters and refiners through the RMAP, GE’s businesses that buy tungsten-bearing products directly from tungsten smelters (“first-tier tungsten smelters”) engaged these first-tier tungsten smelters to encourage them to participate in the smelter validation process of the RMAP. See “Devise and adopt a risk management plan” below for additional information on our engagement efforts.
C. | Assess whether the suppliers have carried out all elements of due diligence for responsible supply chains of 3TG from conflict-affected and high-risk areas |
Each GE business conducts due diligence to determine the degree of its suppliers’ compliance with the contractual obligations laid out in the Guidelines. Measures may include reviewing supplier responses for completeness, accuracy and credibility, confirming smelter status by checking against the Smelter Look-up tab list of the RMI’s CMRT and the RMI’s Conformant Smelter list.
D. | Where necessary, carry out joint spot checks at the mineral smelter or refiner’s own facilities (including through participation in industry-driven programs) |
First-tier suppliers. Each GE business is responsible for confirming that each of its first-tier suppliers that are smelters and refiners (if any):
• | has a policy and procedures to eliminate sourcing of conflict-supporting 3TG; |
• | has been subject to an audit of the origin of their 3TG supplies conducted in accordance with OECD Guidance or has made a firm commitment to undergo such an audit as soon as it can be scheduled; and |
• | passes the audit as being conflict-free or, having failed the audit, has established and put into place a plan to correct process deficiencies. |
4
Lower-tier (upstream) suppliers. In accordance with OECD Guidance, including its audit recommendations for downstream companies, GE implements upstream audits by participating in and cooperating with industry organizations. GE is a member of RMI (member code GECO) and has, periodically, supported RMI and RMAP through membership on various committees and working groups and providing financial assistance and in-kind assistance with RMAP smelter validation. As such, GE relied on the RMAP to conduct risk assessment at the upstream level. For each smelter identified in its supply chain at the first or lower tiers, each GE business assessed the information available from the RMAP and an independent third-party supply chain expert to determine whether there were any “red flags” (as defined in OECD Guidance) and, if needed, develop a corrective action plan. We encourage removing any high-risk smelters from our supply chain.
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
A. | Report findings to designated senior management |
See “Structure internal management systems to support supply chain due diligence” above for a description of GE’s 3TG due diligence internal reporting processes.
B. | Devise and adopt a risk management plan |
Across GE. Each GE business periodically compiles a report of 3TG risks identified in its supply chain for review by the GE business executive-level program owner to determine appropriate steps to take in mitigating any risks identified in the reports. In 2017, these steps focused on reducing risk by (1) engaging Significant Suppliers to encourage the smelters and refiners in their supply chains to become validated as conformant by the RMAP, and (2) encouraging Significant Suppliers who identified high-risk smelters and refiners to remove them from their supply chains. A high-risk smelter or refiner is one for which there are credible reports that such smelter or refiner sources materials in a manner that directly or indirectly finances armed conflict. For Significant Suppliers who identified high-risk smelters and suppliers, the relevant GE business sent such supplier a letter requesting: (1) that that supplier confirm whether these smelters are in fact in their supply chain, and if so, whether such materials are used in GE products, (2) that the supplier encourage these smelters to participate in the RMAP and (3) that if a smelter refuses to participate in the RMAP, such supplier should develop a plan to remove the smelter from its supply chain. In addition, in 2017, the Aerospace Industries Association, of which GE is a member, sent a letter to a number of smelters in the aerospace industry supply chain urging them to participate in the RMAP.
Step 4: Carry out independent 3rd-party audit of smelters/refiners’ due diligence practices
See “Where necessary, carry out joint spot checks at the mineral smelter or refiner’s own facilities (including through participation in industry-driven programs)” above for a discussion of how GE conducted risk assessment at the upstream level.
Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
We file this Report annually, and a copy of it is available at https://www.ge.com/sustainability/reports-hub.
3. | Continuous improvement |
2017 progress. For 2017, GE continued to focus on:
• | conducting due diligence and a reasonable country of origin inquiry to improve the transparency in our 3TG supply chain; and |
• | engaging with suppliers to reduce 3TG supply chain risk, increasing the number of smelters and refiners in our supply chain that have been verified as conformant by 3% to 245 in 2017. As a result, more than 79% of the smelters and refiners identified by our Significant Suppliers have been verified as conformant (up from 35% in 2013, when we started our 3TG due diligence program). |
5
2018 actions to improve due diligence and supplier engagement. GE intends to take the following steps in 2018 to improve due diligence and thereby mitigate the risk that 3TG contained in in-scope GE products may benefit armed groups:
• | continue communication with suppliers and spread best practices learned during execution of the due diligence process in 2017 across the GE businesses to continue to work to improve the percentage of Significant Suppliers responding to GE’s supply chain surveys and the quality of their responses; |
• | continue the identification of and communication with smelters and refiners in GE’s supply chain, both directly and indirectly through GE’s Significant Suppliers, in order to continue to increase the number of smelters and refiners that participate in the RMAP; and |
• | as new Significant Suppliers are added, work with these suppliers to help ensure that they understand our compliance requirements, the requirements of the Conflict Minerals Rule and the OECD Guidance. |
Information Known to GE about 3TG in GE products
GE manufactures a wide range of products that contain 3TG. For a description of the products manufactured by GE in 2017, see the products description for each of our industrial businesses—Power, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas, Aviation, Healthcare, Transportation and Lighting – on pages 28–53 of our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated into this Report by reference and which you can find at https://www.ge.com/investor-relations/events-reports.
GE purchases materials from a wide network of suppliers so we necessarily rely on them to assist with our reasonable country of origin inquiry. After performing a reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence for 2017, we have determined that although none of the 3TG sourced from our first-tier tungsten smelters originated from a Covered Country, some of the 3TG contained in our products did originate from a Covered Country. We are unaware and have no knowledge that any of the necessary 3TG contained in our in-scope products directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups in a Covered Country, but make no assertion that any of our products are “DRC conflict free.”
Smelters and Refiners Used to Process 3TG in GE Products
GE obtained information about the smelters and refiners used to process 3TG in GE products through the due diligence activities described in this Report. Table A below contains a list of the first-tier tungsten smelters as well as smelters and refiners that GE’s Significant Suppliers identified as potentially being present in their supply chains and that GE believes may have processed 3TG contained in in-scope GE products.
Countries of Origin of 3TG in GE Products
GE obtained information about the country of origin and mine or location of origin of 3TG in GE products through reliance on the RMI’s upstream audits of smelters and refiners in GE’s supply chain and using information provided by an independent third-party supply chain expert, as described in this Report. Table B below contains a list of known countries of origin of 3TG used by smelters and refiners that GE suppliers identified as potentially being present in their supply chains.

We note the following in connection with the information contained in the foregoing table:
(1) | The smelters and refiners reflected in the table were first-tier tungsten smelters or were identified by our Significant Suppliers as potentially being part of our 2017 supply chain. However, not all of the included smelters and refiners may have processed the necessary 3TG contained in the in-scope products that we manufactured, since many Significant Suppliers reported to us at a “company level” the 3TG contained in all of their products, not just those in the products that they sold to us. Some Significant Suppliers also may have reported to us smelters and refiners that were not in our supply chain due to over-inclusiveness in the information received from their suppliers or for other reasons. In addition, the smelters and refiners reflected above may not be all of the smelters and refiners in our supply chain, since many Significant Suppliers were unable to identify all of the smelters and refiners used to process the necessary 3TG content contained in the in-scope products that we manufactured and not all of the Significant Suppliers responded to our inquiries. |
(2) | “Conformant” means that a smelter or refiner was audited by the RMI and has been found to be conformant with the RMAP. |
(3) | “Active” means participants in the RMAP that have committed to undergo an audit or are participating in one of the cross-recognized certification programs. |
(4) | “Other” means the smelter or refined is not listed as “Conformant” or “Active.” |
(5) | The table excludes two smelters that ceased operation in 2017. |
(6) | The compliance status information reflected in the table is based solely on information made available by the RMI to its members, without independent verification by us. |
