Conflict Minerals Report
For the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Xylem Inc. (the “Company”) has prepared this Report for the year ended December 31, 2023 to satisfy the requirements of Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to conflict minerals (the “Rule”). The term "conflict minerals" is defined in the Rule as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), wolframite, and their derivatives, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“conflict minerals” or “3TG”); or any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo ( the "DRC") or any adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the DRC. For the purpose of this Report, the adjoining countries and the DRC are referred to as the “Covered Countries.”
Company and Product Overview
Xylem is a leading global water technology company. Xylem designs, manufactures and services highly engineered products and solutions across a wide variety of critical applications, primarily in the water sector. Our broad portfolio of products, services and solutions addresses customer needs of scarcity, resilience, quality and affordability across the water cycle, from the delivery, treatment, measurement and use of drinking water, to the collection, testing, analysis and treatment of wastewater, to the return of water to the environment. We sell our products in approximately 150 countries to a diverse customer base through a global distribution network consisting of our direct sales forces and independent channel partners.
Our business has four reportable segments: Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, Measurement and Control Solutions and Water Solutions and Services. The Water Infrastructure segment focuses on the transportation and treatment of water, offering a range of products including water, wastewater and storm water pumps, controls and systems; treatment equipment: filtration and separation, disinfection, wastewater solutions; anodes and electro chlorination technologies for municipal and industrial applications. The Applied Water segment serves many of the primary uses of water and focuses on the residential, commercial and industrial markets. The Applied Water segment's major products include pumps, valves, heat exchangers, controls and dispensing equipment. The Measurement and Control Solutions segment focuses on developing advanced technology solutions that enable intelligent use and conservation of critical water and energy resources as well as analytical instrumentation used in the testing of water. The Measurement and Control Solutions segment's major products include smart metering, networked communications, measurement and control technologies, critical infrastructure technologies, software and services including cloud-based analytics, and remote monitoring and data management. Effective January 1, 2024, we unified our legacy Integrated Solutions and Services segment, the dewatering business within our Water Infrastructure segment and the assessment services business within our Measurement and Control Solutions segment to form a new segment called Water Solutions and Services. The Water Solutions and Services segment provides tailored services and solutions, in collaboration with customers and backed by life‑cycle services, including on‑demand water, outsourced water, recycle / reuse, specialty dewatering and emergency response service alternatives to improve operational reliability, performance and environmental compliance. Key offerings within this segment also include equipment systems for industrial needs (influent water, boiler feed water, ultrahigh purity, process water, wastewater treatment, and recycle / reuse), full-scale outsourcing of operations and maintenance, and municipal services, including odor and corrosion control services, as well as leak detection, condition assessment and asset management and pressure monitoring solutions.
We have manufacturing facilities in numerous countries producing thousands of parts. Our facilities procure parts, materials and products globally and regionally, that are then assembled into our products or are resold. There are multiple tiers in our supply chain and we do not have a direct relationship with smelters and refiners. As such, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the existence of, and the origin of, any 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us, including the sources of any 3TG that are supplied to them from their supply chains. Our direct suppliers similarly rely on information provided by their suppliers.
We have adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy Statement ("Policy") that applies to all of our suppliers. This Policy articulates our conflict minerals supply chain due diligence process and our commitment to our reporting obligations regarding conflict minerals. Our Policy is available on our website at https://www.xylem.com/en-us/about-xylem/conflict-minerals-policy-statement/.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
We determined that 3TGs were necessary to the functionality of some of our products, components and parts purchased during the 2023 calendar year. We conducted an engineering analysis of the products we
manufacture or contract to manufacture to identify products, components and parts used in our manufacturing process that contain, or had a high probability of containing, one or more 3TG. Our sourcing departments across the Company worked to identify the associated direct suppliers (the “In-scope Suppliers”) that provide the Company with those products, components and parts. We reviewed our supplier list to see that irrelevant (or “out of scope”) suppliers were removed from the conflict minerals survey process, based on the following criteria:
•The supplier supplies components, parts or products that do not contain 3TG.
•The supplier supplies packaging only (excluding labels).
•The supplier supplies the Company with items that do not end up in our products (including equipment used to make our products).
•The supplier is a test lab.
•The supplier is a service provider only.
To assist in determining whether necessary 3TG in our products originated in Covered Countries, we retained Assent Compliance (“Assent”), a third-party service provider, to assist us in reviewing our supply chain. Assent considered Reasonable Country of Origin (“RCOI”) to determine whether the 3TGs may have originated in the Covered Countries and whether the minerals may have come from recycled or scrap sources. We provided a list of In-scope Suppliers to Assent for upload to its Assent Sustainability Manager tool (“ASM”). Assent's ASM is a SaaS platform that enables its users to complete and track supplier communications, as well as allow suppliers to upload completed Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates ("CMRTs") directly to the platform for assessment and management. Via the ASM, we contacted and conducted a survey of 3,396 In-scope Suppliers using the CMRT maintained by the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI"). Assent requested that all In-scope Suppliers complete a CMRT and included training and education resources to guide suppliers on best practices and the use of the CMRT template. Assent monitored and tracked all communications in the ASM for future reporting and transparency. Assent’s program also includes automated data validation on all submitted CMRTs. The goal of data validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers in the CMRTs.
All submitted CMRTs are accepted and classified as valid or invalid and all data is retained. Suppliers with invalid or incomplete CMRTs were contacted and encouraged to resubmit a valid or complete form. Suppliers were also provided with guidance on how to correct validation errors. As of April 29, 2024, approximately 1.4% of our In-scope Suppliers were classified as submitting invalid or incomplete responses. Included in these responses were suppliers who responded to our inquiry with a response that was in a form other than the CMRT. The percentage of invalid or incomplete responses is slightly less than the prior reporting year (which was approximately 1.6%).
Assent compared the list of smelters and refiners provided in our In-scope Suppliers’ CMRT responses to the lists of known smelters and refiners. If a supplier indicated that a facility was certified as conflict-free, Assent confirmed that the facility was an independently validated conflict-free smelter and refiner of 3TGs. Our In-scope Suppliers identified a total of 351 smelters and refiners that appear on the lists of known smelters and refiners. Of these 351 smelters and refiners, 225 are independently validated as conflict-free by RMI or other cross-recognized initiative. Furthermore, based on information provided by RMI, 36 smelters or refiners have agreed to undergo, are currently undergoing, or have failed and may be appealing a third-party audit. Most of the CMRTs received were made on a company or division-level basis, which did not allow us to identify which smelters or refiners listed by our suppliers actually processed the 3TGs contained in our products. Based on our RCOI, we exercised further due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs contained in components and products provided by our suppliers, as required by the Rule.
Appendix A includes an aggregated list of countries of origin from which the 351 identified smelters and refiners collectively source 3TGs, based on reasonable identification of country of origin data obtained via Assent’s supply chain database. Overreporting by the In-scope Suppliers could have occurred which could result in Appendix A listing more countries than those strictly relevant to the Company’s products. Responses from In-scope Suppliers may provide more data than can be linked to our products. As a result, Appendix A may contain more countries than those from which 3TGs used in our products are sourced.
Due Diligence
Our conflict minerals supply chain due diligence program is designed to conform, in all material respects, to the framework in The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, and the related Supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”). We integrated the five steps recommended by the OECD Guidance as follows:
Step 1: Establish Strong Management Systems Regarding Conflict Minerals
•We established a cross-functional team to implement and manage our conflict minerals compliance program. The team, led by our procurement group, includes representatives from our businesses and subject matter experts in the fields of engineering, information technology, legal, operations and procurement.
•We adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy Statement that applies to all of our suppliers. Our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement is publicly available on our website at: https://www.xylem.com/en-us/about-xylem/conflict-minerals-policy-statement/.
•Our controls include our Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct, both publicly available on our website at https://www.xylem.com/en-us/about-xylem/, which outline expected behaviors for our employees and suppliers. In addition, we added a compliance clause to new and renewed supplier contracts and purchase orders, stating our expectation that suppliers provide the product content information the Company needs to comply with our conflict minerals reporting obligations.
•We have a hotline, called Integrity Line, that provides employees and suppliers with a mechanism to report violations or concerns related to our policies, including our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement, our Code of Conduct and our Supplier Code of Conduct.
•We engaged Assent Compliance to assist with supplier engagement, evaluating supply chain information regarding 3TGs and the development and implementation of additional due diligence steps.
•The Company continues to place a strong emphasis on supplier education and training. To accomplish this, we leveraged Assent’s online resources and all In-scope Suppliers were provided with access to Assent’s library of conflict minerals training and support resources. Also, Assent’s automated feedback process notified suppliers of risks associated with their CMRT submission to educate suppliers of certain conflict minerals risks.
•Assent retains all conflict minerals-related data and documents in accordance with the recommended retention guidelines of five years, including supplier responses to CMRTs. The information and findings from this process are stored in a database that can be audited by internal or external parties.
Step 2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
We adopted the market standard approach, which attempts to trace the origin of the 3TGs provided to us by identifying smelters, refiners, recyclers and scrap supplier sources. As discussed above, we surveyed 3,396 In-scope Suppliers using the CMRT in an effort to identify the origin, source and chain of custody of 3TGs contained in our products.
We conducted multiple rounds of follow-up with suppliers who were not responsive to our survey. We reviewed the responses we received against red flag indicators and validation criteria to determine which supplier responses required further engagement. Certain risks were identified automatically through Assent's ASM based on pre-established criteria. These risks were addressed by Assent's supply chain staff as well as members of our internal conflict minerals team to engage the supplier to gather additional pertinent data.
The primary risk we identified related to the nature of the responses received. Many of the responses provided data at a company or divisional level, or suppliers were unable to specify the smelters or refiners used for 3TGs in the components supplied to the Company. Additionally, the majority of suppliers indicated to Assent that they received information regarding their supply chain from at least 75% of their suppliers and, therefore, they could not provide a comprehensive list of all smelters or refiners in their supply chains.
We identified and assessed risks associated with conflict minerals in the supply chain in accordance with OECD Guidelines. Risks were identified by assessing the due diligence practices of smelters and refiners identified in the supply chain by upstream suppliers that listed mineral processing facilities on their CMRT declarations. Assent compared the facilities listed in the CMRT responses to the list of known smelters and refiners to confirm that the facilities met the definition of a 3TG processing facility that was operational during the 2023 calendar year.
In order to assess the risk that any of these smelters and refiners posed to our supply chain, Assent determined if the smelter or refiner had been audited against a standard in conformance with the OECD Guidance, such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process ("RMAP”). We do not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. Smelters and refiners that have completed an RMAP audit are considered to be DRC-Conflict Free. In cases where the smelter or refiner’s due diligence practices have not been audited against the RMAP standard, a potential supply chain risk exists. To each smelter that is currently not conformant to RMAP, Assent is sending a smelter outreach letter on behalf of Xylem to encourage participation in cross-recognized industry audit programs. For those smelters for which Assent does not have direct contact information, Assent will also send this outreach letter to smelters’ respective metals associations.
Each facility that meets the definition of a smelter or refiner of a 3TG mineral is assessed according to red flag indicators defined in the OECD Guidance. Assent uses the following factors to determine the level of risk that each smelter poses to the supply chain by identifying red flags:
•Geographic proximity to the DRC and the Covered Countries;
•Relation to sanctioned individuals and entities;
•Known mineral source country of origin;
•RMAP audit status;
•Credible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing; and
•Peer assessments conducted by credible third-party sources.
As part of our risk management plan under the OECD Guidance, when these facilities were reported on a CMRT by one of the In-scope Suppliers surveyed, risk mitigation activities are initiated. Through Assent Compliance, submissions that include facilities with red flags are sent a notice instructing the supplier to take their own risk mitigation actions, including submission of a product specific CMRT to better identify the connection to products that they supply to the Company, and escalating up to removal of these red flag smelters from their supply chain.
Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks in our Supply Chain
Together with Assent, Xylem has developed processes to assess the risks identified in the supply chain. As discussed under Step 2 above, we reviewed CMRT survey responses against risk-assessment criteria. We evaluated risks on a case-by-case basis; this flexible approach enabled us to provide a risk-appropriate response. As the due diligence process progressed, escalations were sent to non-responsive suppliers to outline the importance of a response via CMRTs and to outline the required cooperation for compliance with the conflict minerals rules and the Company’s expectations. Feedback on suppliers’ submissions was given directly to suppliers and educational resources were provided to assist suppliers in corrective action methods or to improve their internal programs. In cases where suppliers were continuously non-responsive or were not committed to corrective action plans, Xylem may assess if replacing that supplier is feasible. The results of the due diligence and risk assessment were shared with the cross-functional conflict minerals team.
Step 4: Independent Third-Party Audits of Supply Chain Due Diligence
We do not have a direct relationship with smelters or refiners and we do not perform or direct audits of smelters or refiners. We have leveraged the due diligence conducted on smelters and refiners through the RMAP. The RMAP uses an independent third-party audit to identify smelters and refiners that have systems in place to assure sourcing of only conflict-free materials. Of the 351 smelters identified by our suppliers, there were 225 that participated in an independent audit program such as RMAP. For those smelters not participating in an independent audit program, we leverage Assent RCOI data collected through smelter and supply chain engagement, for total coverage of 90 out of 351 smelters. Country of origin data collected on smelters and refiners must have a minimum of 10,000 independent source claims before being allowed into the Assent RCOI library. There were 36 out of 351 smelters that did not participate in an independent audit program or meet the minimum criteria of 10,000 data points to validate their RCOI information.
Step 5: Publicly Report on our Supply Chain Due Diligence
We report annually on our conflict minerals due diligence program in our Form SD filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and this related Report, which are publicly available on our website at www.xylem.com under “Investors – Access Financial Information – SEC Filings.”
Results of our RCOI and Due Diligence
For the 2023 reporting year, of the 3,396 In-scope Suppliers surveyed, approximately 55.9% responded (as compared to a 65.5% response rate for the 2022 reporting year). The response rate for 2023 was driven by factors including lower-than-expected responses from suppliers to the businesses comprising Evoqua Water Technologies Corp., which Xylem acquired on May 24, 2023, as well as the fact that we have a wide supplier base with varying levels of resources and sophistication and many of our suppliers are not subject to the Rule themselves. In addition, the majority of the responses we received provided information at the company or division level and/or did not contain conclusive information. There were also suppliers that were unable to provide information on the smelters or refiners they used for materials supplied to us. Some of our In-scope Suppliers reported that they had identified scrap or recycled sources of conflict minerals in their supply chains.
Based on the information obtained through our RCOI and the due diligence processes described above, for the year ended December 31, 2023, we do not have sufficient information to determine the country of origin for all of the 3TGs contained in or used to manufacture our products. We have provided a list of smelters and refiners that may have been used to process minerals in the Company’s supply chain in Appendix B to this Report. The list is based on information reported by some of the Company’s In-scope Suppliers. While the list is not comprehensive, it is also over-inclusive, containing some smelters or refiners that are not definitively in the Company’s supply chain due to supplier responses at the company or divisional level. We do not have a direct relationship with smelters and refiners listed in Appendix B.
Continuous Improvement Efforts to Mitigate Risks
To improve our conflict minerals program and mitigate related risk, we will continue to:
•Engage with suppliers in an effort to improve the quality of the information we receive and to increase the volume of product-specific responses.
•Work with suppliers who provide incomplete or inconsistent information.
•Refine our scoping approach, so that our efforts will be directed at the most relevant subset of our supply base.
•Communicate to suppliers our expectations regarding compliance with the Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy Statement.
•Conduct due diligence to improve the traceability of the minerals in our products and the overall transparency of our supply chain.
