Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2016
This Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) for the year ended December 31, 2016 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Rule). The Rule was adopted by the 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 (Dodd-Frank Act). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict Minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG).

3. Supply Chain Overview
Corning maintains complex and diverse supply chains across its reported segments, involving thousands of suppliers to the Company. We rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us – including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers. Contracts with our suppliers are frequently in force for three years or more and we cannot unilaterally impose new contract terms and flow-down requirements. As we enter into new contracts, or our contracts renew, we are adding a clause to relevant agreements that requires suppliers to provide information about the source of conflict minerals and smelters. It will take a number of years to ensure that all our relevant supplier contracts contain appropriate flow-down clauses related to conflict minerals. In the meantime, as described below, we are working with selected suppliers to ensure they provide the 3TG sourcing information until the contracts can be amended.
Based upon technical knowledge regarding our products, as well as the results of the prior supplier surveys regarding conflict minerals, relevant personnel in each of our reported segments identified the suppliers to survey regarding whether the components or materials supplied to Corning by such suppliers contain 3TG. We relied upon these suppliers, approximately 258 in total, to provide us with information about whether the components or materials supplied to Corning contain 3TG; and if so, the source of such 3TG. Our direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers, or in the case of distributors from whom we purchase components or materials, reliant upon the manufacturers of such items. Many of our larger suppliers are also SEC registrants and subject to the Rule.
4. | Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) and RCOI Conclusion |
4.1 | Requests for Information |
We surveyed those suppliers described above using version 4.10 or higher of the conflict minerals reporting template developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition® (EICC®) and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), known as the CFSI Reporting Template (or the "CMRT"). The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company's supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company's conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the company and its suppliers use. In addition, the CMRT contains questions about the origin of conflict minerals included in their products, as well as supplier due diligence. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the tool is available on EICC's website. The CMRT is being used by many companies in their due diligence processes related to 3TG.
To determine whether any 3TG necessary to our products originated in the Covered Countries, we retained a third-party service provider, Assent Compliance ("Assent") to assist us in surveying our supply chain. During our supplier survey, we contacted suppliers via the Assent Compliance Manager ("ACM"), a SaaS platform provided by Assent that enables its users to complete and track supplier communications as well as allows suppliers to upload completed CMRTs directly to the platform for assessment and management. The use of the CMRT allowed for some elimination of irrelevant suppliers. Specifically, question one of the CMRT asks suppliers whether any 3TGs are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. We also periodically reviewed the supplier list to ensure that irrelevant or "out of scope" suppliers were removed from the survey process (e.g., the removal of suppliers who provided only packaging to Corning).
Assent requested that all in-scope suppliers complete a CMRT and included training and education to guide suppliers on best practices and the use of the template. Assent monitored and tracked all communications in the ACM for future reporting and transparency. Corning directly contacted suppliers that were unresponsive to Assent's communications during the diligence process and requested that such suppliers complete and submit the CMRT to Assent.
4.2 | Survey Responses |
Where the CMRT responses included the names of entities listed by our suppliers as smelters or refiners, we consulted the CFSI publically-available information to determine whether such entities had been identified as certified Conflict-Free. In some cases, the CMRT responses did not provide smelter information; this was one of the items that we typically requested in follow-up communications with suppliers. Ultimately, some suppliers were unable to provide us with smelter information because they were engaged in their own efforts to obtain that information from their suppliers.
Through Assent's platform automated data validation was performed on all submitted CMRTs. The goal of data validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers in the CMRT. This data validation is based on logical sequencing and required correlations between the CMRT questions (for example, if a supplier does not report having received information from 100% of its 3TG sources, it cannot logically offer definitive statements in response to certain other questions).
All submitted CMRTs are first accepted and then classified as valid or invalid so that their data is still retained. Suppliers are contacted in regard to invalid forms and are encouraged to resubmit a valid form. As of April 24, 2017, there were 20 invalid supplier submissions in Corning's supplier survey that could not be corrected.
Many of the responses we received provided data at a company or divisional level or, as described above, were unable to specify the smelters or refiners used for components supplied to Corning. In some instances, we engaged in follow-up communications with suppliers to request that they provide a CMRT response specific to the components or materials supplied to Corning; however, in many cases, the suppliers were unable to do so because they were still working to obtain detailed information from their own suppliers.
4.3 | RCOI Conclusion |
Based upon the results of our RCOI, we were able to determine that no 3TG are contained in the products sold by Corning's Environmental Technologies segment. In Corning's Display Technologies segment, our RCOI determined that while tin is contained in the products sold by this segment, the tin is not sourced from the Covered Countries. For Corning's Optical Communications and Specialty Materials segments we were unable to conclusively determine whether the 3TG in the products for such segments originated in the Covered Countries because of the incomplete information received from our supply chain. For our Life Sciences segment we received responses from all suppliers; however, some reported that they could not conclusively determine if the 3TG they supplied to us originated from the Covered Countries and thus we are unable to conclusively report on the source of such 3TG.
Based on RCOI responses we have received from certain suppliers, we believe that certain of the 3TG contained in the products for our Optical Communications, Specialty Materials, and/or Life Sciences segments may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the Covered Countries). Thus, we are required under the Rule to conduct due diligence on the source and chain of custody of those minerals and submit to the SEC a Conflict Minerals Report as an Exhibit to Form SD.
5. | Due Diligence Program |
5.1 | Design of Due Diligence |
Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, with the framework in The Organization 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 (OECD Guidance) and the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten.
5.2 | Establish Strong Company Management Systems |
5.2.1 | Conflict Minerals Policy |
We have adopted the following conflict minerals policy:
Consistent with Corning's commitment to corporate social responsibility, and in order to meet the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, section 1502, Corning commits to conducting a "reasonable country of origin inquiry" with all our suppliers of 3TG containing component, supplies or raw materials. If Corning becomes aware of a supplier whose supply chain includes a 3TG metal from a conflict source, Corning will take the reasonable steps to address the situation, including the potential reassessment of supplier relationships, depending on factors such as the criticality of the specific part and the availability of alternate suppliers. Corning expects our suppliers will comply with our requests to provide statements and perform due diligence about the source of any conflict minerals in their products which are provided to us in order to ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.
For additional information about our commitment to responsible sourcing and other human rights, please see the "Corporate Citizenship" page of our website, available at http://www.corning.com/worldwide/en/about-us/corporate-citizenship.html, as well as Corning's Code of Conduct, available on our website at http://www.corning.com/media/worldwide/global/documents/Corning_Code_of_Conduct.pdf.
Our conflict minerals policy is publicly available on our website at the following link: http://www.corning.com/media/worldwide/global/documents/Conflict_Minerals_Policy.pdf.
5.2.2 | Internal Team |
Corning has established a management system for conflict minerals. Our management system includes a steering team sponsored by the Vice President, Global Supply Management as well as executive-level representatives from the company's finance and legal functions. Reporting to the steering team is a core working team, which is led by a Project Manager from our Global Supply Management organization. This core team, which includes subject matter experts from relevant functions such as finance, legal, and global supply management, is responsible for implementing our conflict minerals compliance strategy. Senior management is briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts on an annual basis.
5.2.3 | Control Systems |
As we do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, we have relied upon industry-wide initiatives to disclose upstream actors in the supply chain. Specifically, as part of our due diligence efforts we have utilized the smelter information provided by the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition-Global e-Sustainability Initiative's (EICC-GeSI) Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI).
In addition, with the assistance of personnel from Corning's accounting, compliance and reporting function, we developed a detailed risk control matrix through which Corning's conflict minerals program can be evaluated and monitored.
5.2.4 | Supplier Engagement |
With respect to the OECD requirement to strengthen engagement with suppliers, we have added a conflict minerals clause to our purchase order terms and conditions and relevant contract templates in order to communicate to suppliers our expectations and requirements regarding the sourcing of and disclosure of conflict minerals. We also include our Supplier Code of Conduct in our supplier contracts which contains Corning's expectations for suppliers with respect to humane labor conditions, health and safety, and environmental factors, among others. A copy of our Supplier Code of Conduct is available at http://www.corning.com/worldwide/en/about-us/suppliers/supplier-code-of-conduct.html.
5.2.5 | Grievance Mechanism |
Corning's Supplier Code of Conduct, referenced in 5.2.4 above, instructs suppliers that questions or concerns may be submitted to Corning's third party telephone and web hotline service. This hotline is also described in Corning's Code of Conduct, as referenced above. These phone or web services can be used to make an anonymous report and are available on a 24/7 basis.
5.2.6 | Maintain Records |
Corning has an existing document retention policy which governs the retention of documentation relevant to our due diligence efforts.
5.3 | Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain |
Because of our size, the complexity of our products, and the depth and breadth of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify actors upstream from our direct suppliers. One method for identifying risks in our supply chain is through automatic checks in the ACM system based on criteria established by Assent for supplier responses as outlined above.
In accordance with OECD Guidelines, it is important to understand risk levels associated with conflict minerals in the supply chain. Smelters or refiners not being certified DRC-Conflict Free pose a significant risk to the supply chain. Certain of the responses provided by our suppliers via the CMRT included the names of facilities listed by the suppliers as smelters or refiners. We do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. Assent compared these facilities listed in the responses to the list of smelters and refiners maintained by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative ("CFSI") and, if a supplier indicated that the facility was certified as "Conflict-Free," confirmed that the name was listed by CFSI. As of April 24, 2017, of the 312 legitimate smelter and refiners identified by our suppliers, we have validated 246 smelters or refiners as Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) compliant and are working to validate the additional smelter/refiner entries from the submitted CMRTs. Due to the provision of a mix of company-level, product-level and user defined CMRTs, we cannot definitively determine the connection of any smelters or refiners listed in them to our in-scope products.
Assent assigns each facility that meets the CFSI definition of a smelter or refiner of a 3TG mineral a risk of high, medium or low based on 3 scoring criteria:
· | Geographic proximity to the DRC and Covered Countries; |
· | Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) audit status; |
· | Known or plausible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing. |
Based on these criteria the following facilities have been identified as being of highest concern to the supply chain:
· | Tony Goetz NV - CID002587 |
· | Kaloti Precious Metals - CID002563 |
· | Phoenix Metals - CID002507 |
· | Universal Precious Metals Refining Zambia - CID002854 |
· | Fidelity Printers and Refiners - CID002515 |
· | Sudan Gold Refinery - CID002567 |
When these facilities were reported on a CMRT by one of the suppliers we surveyed, risk mitigation activities were initiated. Through our third-party vendor, Assent Compliance, submissions that included any of the above facilities immediately produced a receipt 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 Corning, and escalating up to removal of these high-risk smelters from their supply chain.
In addition, suppliers are guided to the Assent University learning platform to engage in educational materials on mitigating the risk of smelters or refiners on the supply chain.
5.4 | Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks |
As described in our conflict minerals policy, we intend to engage with any of our suppliers whom we have reason to believe are supplying us with 3TG from sources that may support conflict in the DRC or any adjoining country to appropriately address the situation, which may include establishing an alternative source of 3TG that does not support such conflict, as provided in the OECD guidance. The result and timing will depend upon factors such as the criticality of the specific part and the availability of alternate suppliers.
As of the date of this filing, we have found no instances where it was necessary to terminate a contract or find a replacement supplier due to 3TG sourced from the Covered Countries.
5.5 | Carry out Independent Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain |
Corning does not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, nor do we perform direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. However, we do rely upon the industry (e.g., EICC and CFSI) efforts to influence smelters and refiners to get audited and certified through the CFSI's Conflict Free Smelter program.
5.6 | Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence |
In addition to this report, see our website at http://www.corning.com/worldwide/en/about-us/suppliers.html for further information about Corning's commercial relationships with its suppliers.
5.6.1 | Due Diligence Process |
Corning conducted a survey of its relevant suppliers (as described above) using the template developed jointly by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition® (EICC®) and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), known as the CFSI Reporting Template (the "CMRT"). The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company's supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company's conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the company and its suppliers use. In addition, the CMRT contains questions about the origin of conflict minerals included in their products, as well as supplier due diligence. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the tool is available on CFSI's website and via the website of Assent Compliance, our third party provider.
5.6.2 | Survey Responses |
Corning surveyed approximately 258 suppliers based upon the likelihood that such suppliers supplied materials or components to Corning that contained one or more 3TG and received responses from 96% of suppliers we surveyed. A total of six suppliers indicated in their survey responses that they sourced 3TG from the Covered Countries and all of these suppliers were able to confirm that such 3TG came from smelters designated as "conflict free" by the CFSI. Sixty-eight of the suppliers surveyed stated that the 3TG they sourced came from outside of the Covered Countries, and 72 suppliers were continuing to investigate their supply chains to verify the source of the 3TG involved.
5.6.3 | Efforts to Determine Country of Origin of Mine or 3TG |
We have determined that seeking information about 3TG smelters and refiners in our supply chain through the use of the CMRT with our relevant suppliers represents the most reasonable effort we are able to make to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TG in our supply chain.
5.6.4 | Efforts to Identify Smelters or Refiners |
Because of the incomplete information provided to us by our suppliers in response to our surveys, or the receipt of company-level responses that do not provide information specific to materials or components supplied to Corning, in many cases the smelters and refiners we have identified to date cannot be tied to specific Corning products. However, in certain instances, our suppliers did provide CMRTs specific to the products supplied to Corning. We have reported all legitimate smelter or refiner information included in the CMRTs we received on Exhibit 1 to this report, recognizing as stated above that not all such smelters or refiners can definitively be tied to Corning products. Of the 312 legitimate smelters identified on the CMRTs we received, as of April 24, 2017, 246 were identified as CFSP Compliant and 12 were actively working toward a "conflict free" designation.
6. Steps to be taken to mitigate risk
We have taken and/or intend to continue to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary conflict minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries:
A. | Include a conflict minerals flow-down clause in relevant new or renewed supplier contracts. |
B. | Add a step to our new supplier enrollment process to directly identify new suppliers who could potentially supply Corning with products or materials containing 3TG. |
C. | Partner with a third party company, Assent Compliance, which specializes in conducting conflict minerals compliance programs, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of our supplier survey and reporting process. |
D. | Engage with suppliers to attempt to increase the response rate and improve the content of the supplier survey responses. |
E. | Engage any of our suppliers found to be supplying us with 3TG from sources that support conflict in the DRC or any adjoining country to address the situation, which could include establishing an alternative source of 3TG that does not support such conflict, depending on factors such as the criticality of the specific part and the availability of alternate suppliers. |
This report contains "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which are based on current expectations and assumptions about Corning's business operations, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include: the effect of global political, economic and business conditions; product demand and industry capacity; manufacturing efficiencies; availability of critical components and materials; new product commercialization; and product and components performance issues. These and other risk factors are detailed in Corning's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the day that they are made, and Corning undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.
