ANALOGIC CORPORATION
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM
JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2015
This Conflict Minerals Report of Analogic Corporation (which we refer to as we, us, Analogic, or the Company) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (which we refer to as the rule) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the reporting period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
The rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold (which we refer to as conflict minerals) are necessary to the functionality or the production of the company’s products (which we refer to as the necessary conflict minerals).
Products Covered by this Report
This report relates to products (i) for which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of that product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company; and (iii) for which manufacture was completed during calendar year 2015.
We evaluated our product lines to identify the covered products. We also evaluated our purchased material categories to identify those purchased items that contain, or are reasonably likely to contain, conflict minerals.
These products (which we refer to as the covered products) consist of products in the areas of medical imaging, medical ultrasound, security technology, and motion control. Our medical imaging products comprise systems and subsystems used in computed tomography (“CT”), magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”), and digital mammography. Our ultrasound products comprise medical ultrasound systems and probes. Our security technology products comprise threat detection systems for use in aviation security. Our motion control products comprise drives and controllers deployed in semiconductor, life sciences, automotive assembly, and other industries.
Our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
We conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) regarding the conflict minerals in our products to determine whether any of our necessary conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola (which we refer to as the covered countries) and whether any of the conflict minerals were from recycled or scrap sources.
As part of our RCOI, we surveyed our principal suppliers of conflict minerals in covered products using the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) GESI Conflict Minerals reporting template. The survey was facilitated through an Analogic web page dedicated to the solicitation and collection of the relevant information. We engaged in follow up communications with those suppliers who did not respond to the survey or who provided information that we believed to be incomplete. We then reviewed the survey responses to identify the facilities used to process, and the countries of origin of, the covered products. At the end of this process, the Company had received a response rate of reasonably acceptable and complete surveys from over 75% of its suppliers surveyed, compared to over 40% of suppliers surveyed the prior year.
We believe the inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether any of our necessary conflict minerals originated in a covered country. Annex A lists the smelters and refiners identified by our suppliers and Annex B lists the countries of origin identified by our suppliers.
Due Diligence Process
We conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in our products, and are reporting on the results of that due diligence in this
Conflict Minerals Report.
Design of Due Diligence
Our due diligence measures were designed to conform to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas, Second Edition (2013), including the related supplements on gold, tungsten, and tantalum (which we refer to as the OECD guidance), in all material respects.
Our Conflict Minerals program followed the following five-step framework described in the OECD guidance, including, as applicable, with regard to our due diligence process:
• Step 1 – Establish strong management systems;
• Step 2 – Assess risk in the supply chain;
• Step 3 – Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risk;
• Step 4 – Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain; and
• Step 5 – Report on supply chain due diligence.
Due Diligence Performed
Step 1 – Establish strong management systems
In connection with our due diligence efforts, we established a management team that includes subject matter experts from relevant functions including operations, regulatory, finance and legal that is responsible for implementing our conflict minerals compliance strategy. Senior management was briefed on the results of our due diligence efforts on a regular basis. We also established a corporate policy emphasizing our commitment to compliance with the rule, including our intention to
conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence as required by the rule. This corporate policy is available at our website, www.analogic.com/compliance . Finally, we also maintain a mechanism through which concerns and questions about our conflict minerals policy and use (and other compliance concerns) may be raised. Such questions and concerns may be directed to +1 770-810-1147.
Step 2 – Assess risk in the supply chain
We do not purchase conflict minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners. We must therefore rely on our suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of conflict minerals that are included in the covered products. We surveyed our principal suppliers of materials that include conflict minerals using the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) GESI Conflict Minerals reporting template. The survey was facilitated through an Analogic web page dedicated to the solicitation and collection of the relevant information. We engaged in follow up communications with those suppliers who did not respond to the survey or who provided information that we believed to be incomplete.
We then reviewed the survey responses to identify the facilities used to process, and countries of origin of, the covered products, and compared the smelter lists against the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) Conflict-Free Smelter Program (the CFSP) list of validated smelters.
Step 3 – Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risk
The design of our due diligence process conforms to Step 3 of the OECD guidance as applicable to our circumstances and position in the supply chain as a “downstream” company with little to no direct influence on smelters/refiners. To the extent that we can influence our direct suppliers to provide minerals from conflict-free smelters or refiners, we seek to do so.
Step 4 – Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain
We do not have direct relationships with smelters or refiners and, accordingly, we do not perform direct audits of these entities in our supply chain. Rather, we rely on the efforts of industry associations that administer independent third-party smelter and refiner audit programs. In this regard, we relied on the CSFP listing of conflict-free compliant sources.
Step 5 - Report on supply chain due diligence
We have prepared and filed a Form SD and this Conflict Minerals Report, and posted the required content on our website at www.analogic.com/compliance .
Due Diligence Determination
After conducting the due diligence described above, we have been unable to determine whether our necessary conflict minerals finance or otherwise benefit armed groups in the covered countries, as defined in the rule.
Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the necessary conflict minerals consisted of the due diligence measures described above in this report. Based on the information provided by our suppliers, we determined that some, but not all, of the smelters that processed the necessary conflict minerals were included in the CFSI CFSP listing of conflict-free compliant sources.
We surveyed all of our principal suppliers of covered products and received responses from over 75% of suppliers surveyed, identifying approximately 360 smelters or refiners (after elimination of duplicates) processing conflict minerals, of which approximately 216 have been designated conflict-free by the CFSI. Annex A lists these smelters and refiners. In addition, Annex B lists the countries of origin identified by our suppliers. Some suppliers did not respond to our survey request, and some returned incomplete responses. In addition, some of those suppliers that responded to our survey returned company-level rather than product-level information. Some of our suppliers indicated that the smelters used to process, or the country of origin of, the conflict minerals contained in products
supplied by them are currently undetermined pending the receipt of additional information from their suppliers. Therefore, we are unable to identify with certainty all of the smelters used to process, or all of the countries of origin of, the necessary conflict minerals.
Efforts to Mitigate Risk
The Company has taken, or expects to take in reporting year 2016, the following steps, to mitigate the risk that the necessary conflict minerals contained in the Company’s products finance or benefit armed groups in the covered countries:
1) Continuing to engage with our suppliers to obtain current, accurate and complete information about the supply chain relevant to necessary conflict minerals.
2) Strongly encouraging our direct suppliers to implement responsible sourcing and to have them encourage smelters and refiners to obtain a “conflict free” designation from an independent, third-party auditor; and
3) Engaging in industry initiatives encouraging “conflict-free” supply chains.
