Introduction
ABB Ltd is a corporation organized under
 
the laws of Switzerland. In this Form
 
SD and the attached Conflict
Minerals Report (included as Exhibit
 
1.01), “ABB”, the “Company”,
 
“we”, and “our” refer to ABB Ltd and
 
its consolidated
subsidiaries. ABB is a foreign private
 
issuer as defined under Rule
 
405 of Regulation C under the Securities
 
Act of 1933 and
Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange
 
Act of 1934. Our shares are
 
listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange,
 
the NASDAQ OMX
Stockholm Exchange and were listed on
 
the New York Stock Exchange (in the form of American Depositary
 
Shares) through
May 22, 2023.
Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite,
 
columbite-tantalite and wolframite, and their
 
derivatives, which are
limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten,
 
as well as gold (3TG). The functionality
 
of a substantial portion of our global
 
product
portfolio relies on the use of direct
 
materials, especially electronic components,
 
which include amounts of tin, tantalum,
tungsten or gold (
necessary conflict minerals
). For example, tin, tantalum,
 
tungsten and gold are each contained
 
respectively
in weld wire, capacitors, electronic
 
contacts and electrical connection
 
coatings, each of which are components
 
in many of our
products. Our operating businesses
 
and their products are described in more
 
detail below.
In 2023, we operated our business
 
through four Business Areas which
 
are aligned based on products
 
and services.
The Business Areas were:
 
Electrification, Motion, Process Automation,
 
and Robotics & Discrete Automation.
 
We also have
certain insignificant business operations
 
relating to our remaining
 
engineering, procurement, and
 
construction (EPC)
contracts, which are being wound down
 
and managed in a separate business
 
unit outside of those businesses.
 
The description
of our businesses
 
and their main products in 2023
 
is as follows:
●
Electrification:
manufactures and sells electrical products
 
and solutions which are designed to
 
provide safe, smart
and sustainable electrical flow from
 
the substation to the socket. The portfolio
 
of increasingly digital and
connected solutions includes renewable
 
power solutions, modular substation
 
packages, distribution automation
products, switchboards and panelboards,
 
switchgear, UPS solutions, circuit breakers,
 
measuring and sensing
devices, control products, wiring
 
accessories, enclosures and cabling systems
 
and intelligent home and building
solutions, designed to integrate and
 
automate lighting, heating, ventilation,
 
security and data communication
networks.
●
Motion:
designs, manufactures,
 
and sells drives, motors, generators
 
and traction converters that are driving
 
the
low-carbon future for industries,
 
cities, infrastructure and transportation.
 
These products, digital technology
 
and
related services enable industrial customers
 
to increase energy efficiency, improve safety and reliability, and
achieve precise control of their processes.
●
Process Automation:
offers a broad range of industry-specific,
 
integrated automation, electrification
 
and digital
solutions, as well as lifecycle services
 
for the process, hybrid and
 
marine industries. The product portfolio
 
includes
control technologies, industrial software,
 
advanced analytics, sensing and measurement
 
technology, and marine
propulsion systems. In addition, Process Automation
 
offers a comprehensive range of services,
 
from repair to
advanced digital capabilities such as
 
remote monitoring, preventive maintenance,
 
asset performance management,
emission monitoring and cybersecurity.
 
●
Robotics & Discrete Automation:
 
provides industrial and collaborative
 
robots, autonomous mobile robotics,
mapping and navigation solutions, robotic
 
solutions, field services,
 
spare parts and digital services. The Business
Area also specializes in automation
 
solutions based on its programmable
 
logic controllers (PLC), industrial PCs
(IPC), servo motion, transport systems
 
and machine vision.
 
In addition, commencing January 1, 2023,
 
our E-mobility division was
 
no longer managed within the Electrification
Business Area and became an independent
 
division. The products sold by
 
this division are included in the scope
 
of this
report.
As ABB files reports with the U.S. Securities
 
and Exchange Commission under
 
Section 13(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, and is a user of
necessary conflict minerals
 
to produce its manufactured products,
 
ABB is subject to
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
 
Protection Act of 2010 (17 CFR
 
Parts 240 and 249b).

Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosures
 
a.
We have concluded that during the 2023 calendar year:
i.
based on an analysis of our global product
 
offering, we manufactured products
 
containing conflict minerals and
have determined that the use of these
 
minerals was necessary to the
 
functionality or production of these
 
products.
ii.
based on the Reasonable Country of
 
Origin Inquiry (RCOI) conducted
 
(see below), we have reason to
 
believe that a
portion of the Company’s
necessary conflict minerals
 
originated or may have originated
 
in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo (DRC) or
 
an adjoining country
1
 
(collectively the “covered
 
countries”) and may not be from
recycled or scrap sources.
b.
Description of RCOI
We are a large organization and have manufacturing facilities located around
 
the world. In 2023, we manufactured
products in more than 500 product lines
 
and had
 
approximately 40,000 unique direct
 
material suppliers.
To assess whether the
necessary conflict minerals
 
in our products originated from
 
the covered countries, we
performed a RCOI by identifying direct
 
suppliers of products likely to contain
 
3TG and surveying a sample of these
 
suppliers
using the Conflict Minerals Reporting
 
Template (CMRT) as developed and issued by the Responsible Minerals Initiative
(RMI) of the Responsible Business Alliance
 
(RBA) and the Global eSustainability
 
Initiative (GeSI).
During 2023, we focused on increasing the
 
quality of responses from the sample
 
of suppliers selected for surveying.
We used customized systems to track the link between the components
 
purchased from our suppliers
 
and our products
allowing us to make a focused selection
 
of the relevant suppliers of 3TG.
 
To be considered valid, supplier responses had to
meet certain quality standards to be
 
accepted without further follow-up.
 
The final response rate from
 
our suppliers was more
than 90% in both 2023 and 2022 as we
 
executed
 
a structured due diligence process and
 
provided
 
training to our suppliers
where needed. During 2023, we performed
 
certain due diligence procedures on
 
our products containing cobalt
 
and included
this material in the scope of our supplier surveys
 
although the results of this are not within
 
the scope of this Form SD.
In 2023, we selected approximately 3,100
 
suppliers to be surveyed based
 
on the identification of components
containing 3TG within ABB products.
 
We believe our current RCOI and the number of surveyed
 
suppliers provides a
sufficient level of coverage to allow us to appropriately
 
assess the conflict status of our products.
__________________________________
1
Adjoining countries of the Democratic
 
Republic of the Congo are:
 
Angola, Burundi, Republic of the Congo,
 
Central African Republic,
Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania,
 
Uganda and Zambia.
 
 
As part of our RCOI, suppliers provided
 
us the names of the original smelters/refiners
 
used to process 3TG
contained in their products. Based
 
on the list of processing facilities
 
we have compiled and based on smelter/refiner-specific
country sourcing information we
 
have received through our membership
 
in the RMI, we believe that some
 
of the
necessary
conflict minerals
 
in our products may have originated
 
from the covered countries and were
 
not from recycled or scrap
sources. Although most suppliers who
 
responded to our survey were
 
able to provide us with a list
 
of the original
smelters/refiners that they identified as
 
being used to process 3TG contained
 
in their products, most of our suppliers
 
were
unable to identify and represent which
 
smelters/refiners were specifically
 
used for the 3TG in the products or
 
materials
supplied to ABB. Therefore, the lists of
 
smelters/refiners provided
 
by suppliers may contain facilities
 
that were not used to
process 3TG contained in the components
 
they provided to us.

Conflict Minerals Report
 
ABB Ltd
For the year ended December 31,
 
2023
This Conflict Minerals Report (CMR)
 
of ABB Ltd for the calendar year 2023 has
 
been prepared pursuant
 
to
Rule 13p-1 under the Securities
 
Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1” or the
 
“Rule”). The Rule was adopted
 
by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission
 
(SEC) to implement reporting
 
and disclosure requirements related
 
to conflict
minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank
 
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Rule
 
imposes certain
reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose
 
manufactured products contain conflict
 
minerals which are necessary to the
functionality or production of such products.
 
Conflict minerals are defined
 
as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite
 
and wolframite,
and their derivatives, which are limited
 
to tin, tantalum and tungsten, as well
 
as gold (3TG). These requirements
 
apply to
SEC registrants whatever the geographic
 
origin of the conflict minerals and whether
 
or not they fund armed conflict.
The functionality of a substantial portion
 
of our global product portfolio relies
 
on the use of direct materials,
especially electronic components, which
 
include amounts of tin, tantalum,
 
tungsten or gold (
necessary conflict minerals
). If a
registrant can establish that their
necessary conflict minerals
 
originated from sources other than from
 
a covered country
1
, or
are from recycled or scrap sources,
 
they must submit a Form
 
SD which describes their determination
 
and the Reasonable
Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) performed.
If a registrant has reason to believe
 
that any of the conflict minerals
 
in their supply chain may have
 
originated in the
covered countries and are not from recycled
 
or scrap sources, or if they are unable
 
to determine the country of origin
 
of those
conflict minerals, then the registrant must
 
exercise due diligence on the conflict
 
minerals’ source and chain of
 
custody. The
registrant must submit a Form SD together
 
with a CMR annually to the SEC
 
that includes a description of those due
 
diligence
measures.
Numerous terms in this report are
 
defined in Rule 13p-1 and the associated
 
Form SD and the reader is
 
invited to
refer to those sources. The report presented
 
herein is not audited. The content of
 
any website referred to in this report
 
is
included for general information only
 
and is not incorporated by reference
 
in this Report.
Section 1: Due diligence framework
In accordance with Rule 13p-1, we undertook
 
due diligence efforts,
 
including the RCOI described
 
in the associated
Form SD, to determine whether the
 
3TG in our products originated from
 
sources (e.g. suppliers, smelters,
 
refiners, mines)
that did not or do not directly or
 
indirectly finance or benefit armed
 
groups in the covered countries.
 
We designed our due
diligence measures to be in conformity,
 
in all material respects, with
 
the internationally recognized due
 
diligence framework
set forth in the Organisation for Economic
 
Cooperation and Development (OECD)
 
Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible
Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected
 
and High-Risk Areas:
 
Third Edition (2016) (the OECD Framework)
 
and
related supplements and its five-step framework.

Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda or Zambia).
 
 
Section 2: Due diligence measures undertaken
 
Our due diligence measures to identify
 
the sources of 3TG contained
 
in our products continue to progress
 
and
improve. In 2023, our due diligence
 
efforts concentrated on selecting
 
a focused list of relevant suppliers
 
and improving the
quality of the supplier responses while
 
maintaining the other existing
 
company-wide measures. Our
 
customized supply chain
systems permit us to identify our suppliers
 
of 3TG and therefore increase
 
the efficiency of the RCOI process. Our
 
due
diligence efforts included the following
 
five steps, consistent with
 
the OECD Framework:
Step 1: Establish strong company
 
management systems
We undertook the following measures to establish strong company
 
management systems per Step 1 of
 
the OECD
Framework:
Our commitment
●
We promote awareness of the conflict minerals program within ABB
 
through a number of channels
including targeted communications to specific
 
employee groups as well as the maintenance
 
of articles and
videos on the Company’s intranet.
●
We maintain an external website dedicated to material compliance,
 
including a statement on our position
 
on
conflict minerals. The “ABB Policy
 
on Conflict Minerals” with respect
 
to the sourcing of 3TG is published
online at https://global.abb/group/en/about/supplying/responsible-minerals.
Supplier Engagement
●
We maintain and communicate our “Supplier Code of Conduct”
 
which requires our suppliers
 
to implement
a policy regarding conflict minerals,
 
to exercise due diligence in investigating
 
the source of these minerals,
and to respond in a timely manner
 
to ABB’s requests for evidence of their compliance
 
with these
requirements.
●
As part of our supplier onboarding
 
and evaluation process, we invite all
 
new suppliers to take an ABB-
specific web-based training course
 
on conflict minerals that covers the highlights
 
of the relevant law and
the importance of ethical sourcing
 
to the industry and communicates
 
ABB’s policy on conflict minerals.
The training also includes guidance for our
 
suppliers on how to complete
 
the Conflict Minerals Reporting
Template (CMRT) as developed and issued by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI)
 
of the
Responsible Business Alliance (RBA)
 
and the Global eSustainability Initiative
 
(GeSI). In addition, all new
suppliers are required to make an initial
 
conflict minerals self-assessment
 
which indicates if the supplier
has taken this training course or an equivalent
 
training.
●
We require suppliers to adhere to the “ABB General Terms and Conditions for Purchase
 
of Goods” which
requires our suppliers to provide requested
 
information regarding the use of 3TG
 
in their products supplied
to ABB. In addition (as described on
 
our website), these terms and conditions
 
require our suppliers to:
○
work towards ensuring that they do
 
not have 3TG sourced from conflict
 
mines in products
supplied to ABB,
○
comply with the ABB Supplier Code
 
of Conduct, including the sections
 
relating to conflict
minerals compliance,
○
take the necessary steps to demonstrate
 
that any 3TG contained in the products
 
supplied to ABB
do not originate from mines that support
 
or fund conflict within the
 
covered countries, and
○
extend their search further down
 
their supply chain, if necessary, to determine the source of
specified minerals.
●
For suppliers who continued to provide
 
us with inaccurate or incomplete responses
 
we enhanced our
supplier due diligence process by providing
 
these suppliers with additional
 
training in the form of webinars
and other follow-up communications to
 
assist in improving the response quality
 
of such suppliers.
Internal Management Systems
●
Within our global organization, our operating businesses
 
are directly responsible for executing
 
our conflict
minerals activities with support from
 
a central project management team including
 
representatives from
legal and finance.
 
The representatives from each of our
 
operating businesses come
 
from various
backgrounds and have access to the full
 
resources within their respective
 
businesses, including the research
and development, the engineering
 
and the production departments.
 
During 2023, managers from each
 
of the
group’s four Business Areas were responsible for the execution
 
of the program. The program was
 
overseen
by a cross-functional Steering Committee
 
and sponsored at the Group Executive
 
Committee level.
●
We provide ABB-specific web-based training courses to relevant employees.
 
These are customized for
specific employees
 
so they understand ABB’s Conflict Minerals
 
program and their support roles to
 
the
program.
 
Each operating business’s conflict minerals leader identifies
 
key conflict minerals personnel
 
to
undergo mandatory training on conflict minerals.
Company Level Grievance Mechanism
●
We maintained our company-wide integrity reporting channels,
 
such as the ABB Business
 
Ethics Helpline,
which is available for the reporting
 
of any violations of our Supplier
 
Code of Conduct including in relation
to conflict minerals. The service provides
 
a grievance mechanism and is
 
maintained by an independent
third party. It can be used by ABB employees as well as
 
parties outside ABB, such as suppliers.
 
The
service allows for online reporting at www.compliancestakeholder.com
 
and also provides a country-
specific telephone number if this method
 
of reporting is preferred.
Step 2: Identify and assess risks in
 
the supply chain
To identify risks in the supply chain, we performed the following:
Use best efforts to identify the smelters/refiners
 
in the supply chain
In 2023, we aimed to identify the smelters/refiners
 
in our supply chain through the survey
 
of approximately 3,100
relevant suppliers as described below. These suppliers identified
 
374 smelters/refiners of 3TG that were
 
potentially in
their supply chains. Our list of these
 
smelters/refiners is included in Annex I,
 
including a summary of their validation
status under RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance
 
Process (RMAP).
Identify the scope of the risk assessment
 
of the 3TG supply chain
In 2023, we utilized our customized systems
 
to track the link between the
 
components purchased from our suppliers
and our products allowing us to
 
make a focused selection of the relevant
 
suppliers of 3TG. Purchased components
 
were
evaluated, using ABB experts, including
 
product engineers, material
 
experts and research and development
 
personnel, to
determine if the component was likely
 
to contain 3TG. These identified
 
components were then categorized into
 
different
levels of risk, depending on the likelihood
 
of 3TG content, the volume
 
of transactions with the supplier
 
and the total value
of the components purchased. Based on
 
these evaluations, and the enhanced
 
data available from our information
 
systems,
we identified the relevant suppliers
 
and prioritized which suppliers to survey, focusing
 
on the highest-risk suppliers
 
in
terms of 3TG content and amount of products
 
purchased. These suppliers
 
were surveyed using the CMRT, as part of the
RCOI described in Form SD.
Assess whether the suppliers have
 
carried out all the elements of due
 
diligence for responsible supply
 
chains of
3TG from conflict-affected and high-risk
 
areas
We have a structured process to send
 
and receive supplier surveys, follow up
 
on non-responses, summarize survey
results, and identify and respond to red
 
flags. Using the CMRT, we surveyed
 
the selected suppliers to gather
 
information
about smelters/refiners in their supply
 
chain and provide us
 
with a list of those smelters/refiners. For
 
most of our
businesses, we have a dedicated team,
 
in a global shared service
 
center, who reviews
 
the completeness of supplier
responses and assesses whether suppliers
 
appear to have carried out their own
 
appropriate supply chain due diligence.
 
The
review team assesses each response for
 
“red flags” (as described in the OECD
 
Framework) and then further
 
assesses
 
the
completeness of the supplier response.
 
To perform the survey process, one of our Business
 
Areas utilizes a third-party
service provider.
Our review process assessed
 
the completeness and accuracy
 
of the list of smelters/refiners provided
 
in the survey
responses. This included verifying
 
the name and smelter status by
 
checking against the Smelter
 
Look-up tab list of the
RMI’s CMRT and the RMI’s Conformant
 
Smelter List.
Although the suppliers who responded
 
to our survey were able to provide us
 
with a list of the original
smelters/refiners they identified as being
 
used to process 3TG contained
 
in their products, most of our suppliers
 
were
unable to identify and represent which
 
smelters/refiners
 
were specifically used for 3TG
 
in the products or materials
supplied to ABB. Our
 
list of smelters/refiners identified
 
to be processing or refining 3TG in our products
 
is based on the
responses received from our suppliers.
Where suppliers did not respond
 
to the initial survey request, additional
 
follow-up inquiries were made. Follow-up
inquiries were also made on incomplete
 
or inconsistent supplier responses,
 
requesting additional information
 
or
clarification. In certain cases, the follow
 
up was made by product buyers, who
 
worked with suppliers to try to
 
resolve
insufficient responses.
 
For completed surveys, responses were
 
evaluated against a pre-defined
 
list of red flags to determine what
 
corrective
action, if any, was required for the identified risk. A corrective
 
action plan was implemented for the
 
identified red flags,
including insufficient responses. Ultimately, the corrective
 
action could include the discontinuation
 
of sourcing from a
supplier. Our red flag review process is based on guidance
 
from the OECD Framework.
 
When evaluating ongoing
supplier relationships, the conflict minerals
 
compliance status of the supplier
 
was considered when determining
 
the
continued use of a supplier.
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy
 
to respond to identified risks
Report findings to designated senior
 
management
Throughout the supplier survey process,
 
a management reporting dashboard
 
was available to the conflict
 
minerals
senior management team on a real-time
 
basis. This provided timely summary
 
statistics on the supplier survey responses
 
as
well as the status of our overall risk
 
assessment process. The dashboard
 
also provided a summary of the
 
number of
responses requiring an escalation process
 
to resolve response deficiencies or
 
address identified red flags. The
 
content of
the dashboard was reviewed regularly
 
by a central project team
 
including a review of the progress on
 
addressing
responses subject to escalation.
 
These results were reported to the Steering
 
Committee which evaluated
 
the
appropriateness of risk mitigation
 
measures.
Devise and adopt a risk management
 
plan
In 2023, we contacted our suppliers who
 
were identified to be sourcing 3TG
 
from high-risk smelters/refiners.
 
We
sent each such supplier a letter requesting
 
them: (1) to confirm whether the
 
identified high-risk smelters/refiners
 
are in
their supply chain and if materials from
 
the identified high-risk smelters/refiners
 
were in products supplied to ABB,
 
(2) to
encourage these smelters/refiners to participate
 
in RMI’s RMAP,
 
and (3) to develop a plan
 
to remove any identified high-
risk smelters/refiners
 
from their supply chain if those
 
smelters/refiners refuse to participate
 
in the RMI’s RMAP.
 
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party
 
audit of smelter/refiner due
 
diligence practices
We are a downstream consumer of
 
3TG. Generally, we do not purchase
 
raw minerals or ores, and are normally
several steps removed from smelters/refiners
 
within our supply chain.
 
Therefore, we generally do not perform
 
direct
audits of those smelters/refiners. We
 
do support the RBA
 
and GeSI’s RMI which is a measure
 
contemplated by the
OECD
Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible
 
Supply Chains of Minerals
 
from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk
 
Areas
, the
internationally recognized standard on
 
which our Company’s systems (described
 
in Step 1 above) are based. Part of our
support was the participation in pre-audit
 
visits
 
of certain tin smelters in
 
Asia. The data on which
 
we relied for certain
statements in this CMR was obtained
 
through our membership in the RMI, using
 
the Reasonable Country of Origin
Inquiry report for member “ASEA”.
Step 5: Report annually on supply
 
chain due diligence
This report and the associated Form SD
 
are available online at https://global.abb/group/en/investors
 
under
“Reporting”, “SEC filings”.
Section 3: Results of due diligence
In 2023, we received and accepted completed
 
reporting templates from 87% of our surveyed
 
suppliers (90% in
2022). The acceptance rates
 
reflect the maturity of our supplier
 
engagement process and the focused
 
escalation of non-
responsive suppliers to the appropriate
 
levels when needed.
Our suppliers are generally several tiers
 
removed from the smelters/refiners
 
of raw materials within
 
their supply
chain, and therefore have challenges
 
in performing their due diligence.
 
As a result, the information
 
provided by our suppliers
is often incomplete or is not verified,
 
and we are therefore unable
 
to verify the source and chain of custody
 
of all the 3TG
minerals in our supply chain.
In 2023, our supplier responses identified
 
374 smelters/refiners as being the source
 
of 3TG in their products (345 in
2022). The complete lists
 
of identified smelters/refiners are
 
included in Annex I of this CMR.
 
However, the suppliers only
provided the country of origin of
 
the 3TG in a limited number of
 
cases. We obtained further sourcing information through
our membership in the RMI which
 
allows us access to the names of the
 
countries of origin for 3TG processed
 
by certain
smelters/refiners.

(1)
Audited and found to be
 
conformant with the RMI’s Responsible
 
Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP conformant).
(2)
In the process of being
 
audited (RMAP Active). This category also includes smelters and refiners
 
with whom we are in communication
 
but have
not commenced the validation
 
audit.
(3)
Have not commenced the
 
RMAP validation audit.
Through our regular interaction with
 
the RMI, we benefit from their activities,
 
including their efforts to validate
smelters as ‘RMAP conformant’
 
in line with current global standards.
 
The percentage of the identified smelters/refiners
which were designated as RMAP
 
conformant in 2023 is 64% compared
 
to 65% in 2022. The generally
 
high percentage of
RMAP conformant smelters/refiners
 
reflects the strong participation of
 
smelters/refiners in the RMI/RMAP
 
audit process.
We have not been able to determine
 
the conflict status for all smelters/refiners
 
used in our supply chain. However,
based on the information that we
 
have received from our suppliers,
 
we have not identified any smelters/refiners
 
in our supply
chain which are known to be sourcing
 
3TG that directly or indirectly finances
 
or benefits armed groups
 
in the covered
countries.
As allowed by the
Statement on the Effect of the Recent
 
Court of Appeals Decision on the
 
Conflict Minerals Rule,
issued by the SEC on April 29, 2014, ABB
 
has not described its products
 
as “DRC conflict free” or “having
 
not been found
to be ‘DRC conflict free’”.
Section 4: Continuous improvement efforts
 
to mitigate risk
During 2024, we plan to focus on the
 
following steps as part of our conflict
 
minerals due diligence program:
●
conduct smelter and refinery
 
visits to provide face-to-face
 
support,
●
continue to support the RMI and the
 
membership initiatives to work
 
with smelters and refiners to have
them undergo the OECD-aligned audit for responsible
 
sourcing,
 
●
continue to follow OECD due diligence
 
guidance and attend industry
 
events to support responsible
sourcing,
●
continue to work with suppliers to
 
explain smelter and refinery OECD-aligned
 
audit status for responsible
sourcing as well as encouraging suppliers
 
to work directly with smelters and refiners,
●
provide additional Conflict Minerals
 
training and continuous support
 
throughout the year for queries related
to responsible sourcing and conflict
 
minerals requirements,
●
inform suppliers about the changes
 
in the RMI smelters status during
 
the program,
●
continue to lead the RMI Asia smelter
 
engagement team and the gold outreach
 
in India which involves
working with gold refiners in India
 
to educate and encourage them to undergo OECD-aligned
 
responsible
sourcing audits,
●
engage with suppliers reporting non-conformant
 
smelters and refiners so
 
as to encourage them to work
 
with
their upstream supply chain for a
 
mission towards responsible sourcing, and
●
encourage businesses internally to work
 
with suppliers that consistently
 
report non-conformant smelters
 
or
refiners.
Section 5: Independent audit
 
 
As ABB has not concluded on the DRC
 
conflict status for any of its products,
 
this CMR does not require an
independent private sector audit.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Annex I – Lists of smelters/refiners
These lists of smelters/refiners were produced
 
by consolidating information we
 
have received from our suppliers.
We have provided conflict minerals training to our suppliers
 
and independently verified the status
 
of the smelters/refiners
using RMI and other data, but we cannot
 
guarantee that the data we have
 
been provided is accurate or complete.
 
In most
cases suppliers have not been able
 
to confirm that these smelters/refiners
 
have been used in the products
 
they have supplied
to us because they were not able to provide
 
their CMRTs
 
at the product level. Therefore,
 
it is possible that the lists contain
smelters/refiners which were not used
 
to process 3TG contained in our
 
products.
We generally do not have direct business relationships with any of
 
the smelters/refiners listed below. In general, we
are several tiers removed from smelters/refiners
 
and therefore unable to exert direct
 
influence over smelters/refiners.
 
Due to
the size of our supplier base and the
 
complexity of global supply chains,
 
we are also unable to clearly
 
trace at what stage
individual smelters/refiners enter the
 
supply chain of our direct suppliers.
