Conflict Minerals Report
This Conflict Minerals Report of VeriFone Systems, Inc. (“Verifone”, “we or “us”) for the calendar year ended December 31, 2017 is presented in compliance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Introduction and Company Overview
Verifone is a global leader in secure electronic payment solutions at the point of sale. We design, manufacture and sell electronic point of sale terminals and pin pads, and related accessories and peripheral equipment (collectively the “Products”). We also sell complementary solutions and services that enable secure electronic payment transactions and value-added services at the point of sale. The manufacture of our point of sale terminals and pin pads, and related accessories and peripheral equipment, is outsourced to third party contract manufacturers.
Pursuant to the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), certain public companies, including us, are required to provide disclosures about the use of specified conflict minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or any of the nine adjoining countries, (together with the DRC, the “Covered Countries”). The term “conflict minerals” is defined as: (A) columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country. For purposes of this Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD and the accompanying Conflict Minerals Report, we refer to tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold as the “3TG”.
In August 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”), to implement the reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act. Under Rule 13p-1, we, like other U.S. public companies, are first required to determine whether our manufactured products contain any of the 3TG and whether, for each product, such minerals are necessary to: (i) the functionality of the manufactured product and (ii) the production process of the manufactured product. If so, we are further required to conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) into the origin of 3TG used in our products and determine whether the 3TG may have originated from any of the Covered Countries, or are from recycled or scrap sources. If we are unable to determine based on our RCOI that the 3TG are not from a Covered Country or are from recycled or scrap sources, then we must additionally exercise due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of the 3TG.
For calendar year 2017, we determined that conflict minerals remained necessary to the functionality or production of our Products and, accordingly, conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) as described in this Conflict Minerals Report.
A-1
Due diligence over conflict minerals source and chain of custody
Verifone’s due diligence framework tracks in all material respects the recommendations set forth in “Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas” developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”).
The OECD guidance is an internationally recognized due diligence framework designed to help companies develop a system to avoid contributing to armed conflict through their mineral or metal purchasing decisions and practices. It includes a five-step framework that can be used to create a responsible supply chain, including (1) establishing a management system, (2) identifying and assessing risks in the supply chain, (3) designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks, (4) supporting the development and implementation of independent third-party audits of smelters/refiners’ sourcing, and (5) publicly reporting on supply chain practices and due diligence.
We use this framework to conduct due diligence if we are unable to determine that the 3TG in the materials supplied for our Products are conflict-free based on information gathered from our suppliers and verified using shared industry information. We formalized this framework into a written program document and incorporated the guidance into our existing business processes and procedures. Our goal is to maintain a program that meaningfully and effectively supports our conflict minerals objectives.
Our due diligence framework consists of the five components as identified in the OECD guidance and described below:
1. | Internal management system for Conflict Minerals. |
The following Conflict Minerals Statement sets forth our basic philosophy and objectives with respect to conflict minerals in our supply chain:
Verifone is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen in its sourcing and procurement activities. We believe that if each company does its part, enormous strides can be made in responsible sourcing. We support government and industry initiatives for responsible sourcing. We remain committed to responsible sourcing and it is our policy to seek to avoid the use of conflict minerals purchased from sources that finance or benefit armed groups who commit human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries, and avoid contributing to conflict in our sourcing and procurement practices. We expect our suppliers to exercise due diligence to reasonably assure that any Conflict Minerals in the parts or components provided to Verifone do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit such armed conflict. We also expect our suppliers to provide information in support of our due diligence efforts and to support our goals for conflict-free sourcing.
These objectives are supported and managed by a cross-functional conflict minerals committee. The committee is comprised of subject matter experts from key departments, including supply chain, procurement, quality control, engineering and legal. The committee meets weekly to monitor program status, recommend and implement program improvements and maintain open lines of communication with executive management and other stakeholders. Corporate oversight of the program is provided by the Chief Operations Officer, General Counsel, Vice President of Strategy and Operations, and the Chief Procurement Officer. The committee provides updates and an annual program briefing to the executive sponsors.
A-2
The committee has primary responsibility for designing and maintaining Verifone’s system of controls and transparency over the supply chain. Key elements of the program include, but are not limited to:
• | Supplier Engagement and Communication: We incorporate conflict mineral provisions in our supplier agreements and supplier qualification process. Suppliers included in our annual conflict minerals assessment are sent a formal letter that communicates our program objectives and expectations, including cooperation in providing relevant data and supporting our due diligence. In an effort to improve communication with our suppliers, we included additional information on responsible sourcing and links to resources and training available from the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI). Again this year, we sent targeted communications to suppliers during data collection and due diligence efforts. In 2016, we adopted a new Supplier Code of Conduct that includes our expectations regarding responsible sourcing and conflict minerals. In 2017, we continued to make improvements to supplier engagement and communication. |
• | Smelter/Refiner Identification: Verifone’s ability to conclusively determine the country of origin and chain of custody of the 3TG in our supply chain remains limited. Our supply chain is global, multi-tiered and highly complex. Verifone remains many tiers removed in the supply chain from the actual smelters, refineries and mines of origin for 3TG contained or used in the parts and components of our Products. Therefore, we must rely on our direct suppliers to help identify the upstream smelters/refiners of the 3TG in the supply chain. We use the standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) developed and updated by CFSI to survey our direct suppliers and collect relevant information. The CMRT facilitates the collection of information through the supply chain, including mineral country of origin and identification of recognized smelters and refiners. |
In order to facilitate our due diligence and supplier communication, we use a third party service provider with expertise in conflict minerals management to collect, maintain, analyze, monitor and categorize CMRT responses and supplier communications. This service enables us to better track and analyze our supply chain data and conduct our conflict minerals assessment. We also use the database and reports to better engage with our suppliers on information related to our supply chain and responsible sourcing.
• | Due Diligence: We participate in industry-wide efforts and use available resources to determine the status and obtain information on the smelters/refiners identified by our suppliers. This includes the Conflict-Free Smelters Program (CSFP) and other industry efforts recognized and cross-referenced by the CFSI, such as the London Bullion Metal Association (LBMA). |
We use and rely on industry information and resources, such as the audited and certified conflict-free smelters and refineries under the CFSP and RCOI data developed by CFSI. Given our position in the supply chain, use of shared data is the most effective way to validate the source of 3TG identified in our supply chain.
• | Grievance Mechanism: Verifone maintains a compliance hotline allowing interested persons to voice concerns regarding business practices, ethics or suspected or potential violations of our policies or laws. The hotline is included in our Supplier Code of Conduct, published on our webpage and available internally to all employees. We also include contact information and dedicated email address in our supplier communications should they have questions concerning our conflict minerals program. |
A-3
Our conflict minerals committee monitors the effectiveness of our internal management system and evaluates processes and procedures that support the objectives set out in our Conflict Minerals Statement.
2. | Identifying and assessing risk in our supply chain. |
For 2017, we identified the direct suppliers of parts/components used in the manufacture of our products that may contain one or more of the 3TG. The identified direct suppliers were added to our service provider’s due diligence database and included in our 2017 conflict minerals assessment. Verifone issued a letter to each direct supplier included in the 2017 assessment along with the most recent version of the CMRT. The letter communicated the importance of our program, as well as, our expectation that suppliers will cooperate in the data collection, complete the CMRT and help identify the smelters/refiners in the supply chain. With the goal of improving awareness in our supply chain, our 2017 letter again included information on the resources, webinars and training available from CFSI.
To facilitate response rates, our service provider sends a series of outreach communications and reminders. Suppliers that did not respond after several communication attempts were automatically added to a monthly progress report. The conflict minerals committee reviewed the progress report and, where needed, reached out directly to the suppliers. If the supplier did not respond or provided an inadequate response, the committee notified the relevant Verifone sourcing and supply team to work directly with the suppliers to obtain a completed CMRT. By leveraging the experience of our service provider and the analytics available through the computerized database, we were able to engage more frequently with our suppliers and to provide more targeted follow up communications.
Through these efforts, we exceeded our goal of receiving CMRT responses covering 90% of the parts and components included in our assessment and ultimately received CMRT responses covering 95% - an improvement over the 2016 response rate. Using the CMRT information, we then compiled a comprehensive list of the smelters and refiners identified and reported by our direct suppliers. We used the Smelter Reference List maintained and updated by CFSI to validate the information and identified 315 recognized smelters/refiners. We then evaluated these recognized smelters/refiners against the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) data and other resources maintained by CFSI. The RCOI database provides country of origin information for smelters/refiners and, according to CFSI, is the most detailed information currently available on source of 3TG.
We designed our processes to evaluate our supply chain using a risk-based approach. We use the CMRT information to guide our assessments and further due diligence efforts. For example, if a Covered Country is referenced in the CMRT or RCOI data, we review the CFSP list and other independent third party audit programs (e.g., LBMA). The CFSP uses independent third-party audits to identify smelters/refiners that have conflict minerals due diligence processes in place. We also review the smelters/refiner’s conflict minerals policy if published and available. Results of our risk assessment are maintained electronically.
Our conflict minerals committee continually assess the status of our conflict minerals program, including the identification of risks. The executive sponsors receive material updates from committee members during the year and an annual briefing that summarizes the results of our risk assessment and due diligence efforts.
3. | Responding to risks in our supply chain. |
A-4
To monitor and respond to risks in our supply chain, we utilize the standard CMRT tool to collect relevant information and rely on available information provided through validation programs such as the CFSP to determine the status of smelters and refineries.
Given our position in the supply chain, our ability to directly impact smelters/refiners upstream in our supply chain remains limited. As such, our risk mitigation efforts are focused on our direct suppliers and participation in third party audit programs as detailed below. For example, we work with our service provider to identify and directly engage non-responsive suppliers. Members of our conflict minerals committee conduct initial outreach and will engage senior leaders in sourcing and procurement to work directly with non-responsive suppliers as needed. Our program improvements to date include, implementation of a Supplier Code of Conduct, enhanced and more frequent supplier communications, implementation of a written conflict minerals program manual and addition of conflict minerals expectations and compliance certifications in the selection of new direct suppliers.
4. | Independent third-party audits of smelters/refiners’ sourcing. |
Verifone does not have direct relationships or contact with the upstream smelters or refineries in our supply chain. Due to our remote position in the supply chain and the diversity of the parts and components used in our products, we are not in a position to conduct on-site spot checks or audits of the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. Like similarly situated companies, we must rely on external audit programs, such as the Conflict Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) to demonstrate RCOI and to validate smelter procurement and due diligence processes.
In support of the third party audit programs, we worked to improve communication with our direct suppliers, including flowing information upstream about the CFSP, available training resources and other information relevant to conflict minerals due diligence. The goal of these communications is to encourage our suppliers to support the CFSP and other industry efforts. In 2017, we again supported the CFSP through our membership in CFSI and participation in the smelter engagement and due diligence working groups.
5. | Public Reporting. |
Verifone files with the SEC a Form SD and this Conflict Minerals Report to describe to the public our due diligence efforts. This Conflict Minerals Report is also available on our website under our Investor Relations section at http://ir.verifone.com/. In 2017, we published a Social Responsibility page on our corporate webpage that includes information on our conflict minerals expectations and responsible sourcing efforts. We continued to evaluate ways to better communicate our responsible sourcing program and efforts with customers and the interested public.
Results of due diligence
As of the date of this Conflict Minerals Report, we received CMRT responses covering 95% of the parts and components included in our assessment. The responses from our suppliers included 315 smelters and refiners recognized on the Smelter Reference List maintained and updated by CFSI. We reviewed the recognized smelters/refiners against the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) data maintained by CFSI. The list provides country of origin information for smelters/refiners and, according to CFSI, is the most detailed information currently available on source of 3TG.
We further assessed whether the supplier has indicated that any of the 3TGs may have been sourced from the Covered Countries and utilized the information available through CFSI’s Conflict Free Smelter Program (CFSP) to conduct further diligence. The CFSP was developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (the “EICC”) and the Global E-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”) and provides an independent, third-party audit that determines which
A-5
smelters and refiners can be validated as “conflict-free,” in line with current global standards. The CFSP list includes the status of smelters/refiners, including those that are compliant with CFSP assessment protocols and those that are active and committed to undergo CFSP audit or are participating a one of the cross-recognized programs (e.g., LBMA).
Of the 3155 total CFSI recognized smelters/refiners identified by our suppliers, we found the following:
• | Approximately 79% were identified under the CFSP protocol as conformant; and |
• | Approximately 20% were identified under the CFSP protocol as a known smelter or refiner and categorized as: under review, active or otherwise have signed the CFSP’s agreements to exchange information and/or be audited under the CFSP, in communication with CFSP and/or a member company, outreach required or agreed to complete a CFSP validation by the TI-CMC within two years of membership. |
We will continue to monitor the status of these smelters and refiners through the shared RCOI and CFSP information provided to us as an active CFSI member. Based on our assessment, we do not have sufficient information to enable us to determine the origin and/or conflict-free status. We have provided, as Appendix A hereto, a list of the recognized smelters/refiners identified by our suppliers that have an ID number assigned by CFSI.
