Exhibit 1.01 to Form SD filed on May 31, 2018
Conflict Minerals Report
This is the Conflict Minerals Report of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including SB/RH Holdings, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Spectrum,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), for calendar year 2017 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions of the terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein.
Applying the Dodd-Frank Act to Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.
The SEC’s conflict minerals rules require a three-step compliance approach. The first step is determining applicability of the conflict minerals rules to Spectrum; the second step is a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether we have reason to believe that conflict minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo (the “DRC”) or adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”) that are necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured by us, or contracted to be manufactured by us, are present in our products; and the third step (referred to as “due diligence” in the SEC rules) is to determine the source and origin of any such conflict minerals and the facilities in which they were processed.
As a downstream company, Spectrum is several tiers removed from mining operations and smelters or refiners (“SORs”) in dealing with its direct suppliers. Spectrum hired a third party provider to assist it in performing conflict mineral supply chain due diligence (the “Provider”). Using our Provider as well as our supply chain due diligence processes, and focusing on accountability within the supply chain {by using the industry standard Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”)} and reaching out to our suppliers, we hope to gain greater transparency in our supply chain.
Due Diligence Framework and Resources
Spectrum undertook due diligence to determine if conflict minerals were necessary to the production or functionality of its products. In conducting its due diligence, Spectrum implemented the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “OECD Framework”), an internationally recognized due diligence framework, and related supplements for each of the conflict minerals. Accordingly, the steps taken by Spectrum in preparing this Conflict Minerals Report were in accordance with the OECD Framework. As such, we used the RMI’s CMRT, which includes standard supply chain survey and information tracking methods to: (i) determine if our manufactured products contained conflict minerals necessary to their functionality or production, (ii) perform a RCOI to determine whether such minerals originated in the DRC or a Covered Country, or are from recycled or scrap sources, and (iii) assess our supply chain’s adherence to due diligence measures stated by the OECD Framework.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Our Steering Committee reviewed the products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by the Company in order to determine which products might contain conflict minerals that are necessary to their functionality or production; the list of products is contained on Attachment A to this Conflict Minerals Report. The Company conducted this review at a product level. A list of the suppliers determined to be in-scope for purposes of the conflict minerals rules was compiled and the RCOI was conducted as follows:
 
 
a.
Spectrum sent initial inquiries to 361 suppliers and instructed them to complete the CMRT and return it to Spectrum.
 
b.
During reporting year 2017, Spectrum hired the Provider to engage its suppliers to collect information about the presence and sourcing of conflict minerals used in the products and components supplied to Spectrum and by doing so add more transparency to Spectrum’s supply chain with the ultimate goal of identifying the related smelters or refiners and associated mine countries of origin.
 
c.
Spectrum and the Provider conducted up to six follow-up inquiries of the initially unresponsive suppliers.
 
d.
Spectrum and Provider also conducted follow-up with suppliers for further information if initial responses were incomplete or unclear.
 
e.
Spectrum performed follow-up (up to four times) with suppliers who returned an incomplete CMRT.
 
f.
The Provider also evaluated the completed CMRTs for plausibility, consistency and gaps. Additional supplier contacts were conducted to attempt to resolve “quality control” flags, such as: (a) Smelters or Refiners (SORs) were not provided for a used metal, (b) Supplier listed one or more SORs for an unused metal, (d) supplier indicated that it sourced from the Cover Countries, but none of the SORs listed are known to source from that region, (e) supplier indicated that it had not identified all SORs for the in-scope products, (f) supplier indicated it had not received conflict minerals data for each metal from all of its relevant suppliers, or (g) supplier indicated that all of its conflict minerals were from recycled or scrap sources, but one of more of the SORs listed are not known to be exclusive recyclers.
 
g.
After follow-up, Spectrum had a 92.5% supplier response rate, with 21.3% of the responding suppliers indicating that one or more of the conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the products they supply to Spectrum.


Due Diligence Steps Performed
 
1.
Steps Taken to Establish Strong Company Management Systems
 
 
a.
Spectrum continued disseminating conflicts minerals’ information and updates through its Steering Committee, which implements and manages Spectrum’s conflict minerals’ compliance program.
 
 
b.
Spectrum is committed to sourcing components and materials from companies that share its values about human rights, ethics and environmental responsibility.  Spectrum’s employees and the Steering Committee continue to enforce its Conflict Minerals Policy, which is available on the Company’s website at http://www.spectrumbrands.com/corporate-responsibility/conflict-minerals.aspx. As required by our Conflict Minerals Policy, all of our suppliers are required to sign Spectrum’s Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes requirements relating to conflict minerals and responsible sourcing. A copy of Spectrum’s Supplier Code of Conduct can be found at http://www.spectrumbrands.com/AboutUs/Supplier-Code-of-Conduct.aspx/. Spectrum’s Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Code”) incorporates requirements related to conflicts minerals so that current and future suppliers are obligated to comply with Spectrum’s policies on conflict minerals, including participation in related due diligence activities.
 
c.
Spectrum educates its employees and in addition the Steering Committee, disseminates conflict minerals’ information through division heads, supply chains and sales forces.
 
 
d.
Spectrum maintains a grievance mechanism to enable the reporting of grievances related to conflict minerals and other supply chain matters.
 
 
e.
Spectrum retains conflict minerals program documentation in accordance with the Company’s record retention policies.
 
2.
Steps Taken to Identify Risks in the Supply Chain and Strategies to Respond to Identified Risks.
 
 
a.
Spectrum identified the products it manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2017.
 
 
b.
As previously noted, Spectrum identified 361 suppliers from whom it purchases components used in the production of those products, and which could contain conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of such products and solicited information from such suppliers as part of its RCOI. Spectrum, with the assistance of the Provider, compared the list of the SORs collected to the Provider’s SOR database, which incorporates information from the lists publically published by the RMI. Attached as Exhibit A hereto is a list of SORs identified by our suppliers with valid smelter certification identification numbers.
 
Spectrum performed risk mitigation efforts to bring suppliers into conformity with its Conflicts Minerals Policy and contractual requirements. These efforts included working with direct suppliers during Spectrum’s frequent supplier meetings to consider alternative sources of components or supplying components which contain conflict minerals from OECD-conformant sources based on the internationally recognized certifications. Spectrum publicly communicated its Conflicts Minerals’ Policy on its website at www.spectrumbrands.com/corporate-responsibility/conflict-minerals.aspx.

3.
Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner due diligence practices.

Spectrum and the Provider relied on published lists of SORs that have been audited by various groups. We are many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals. We do not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals, and we do not conduct any purchasing activities directly in the Covered Countries.





4.
Mitigation Steps Spectrum Has Taken or Will Take Since the End of Calendar Year 2017.
We undertook the following steps since the end of 2017 to mitigate the risk that our products may contain conflict minerals that benefit armed groups within the Covered Countries, including steps to improve our due diligence:
  
 
 
 
 
a.
Continued to enforce our Conflict Minerals Policy, which is imbedded in our Code, and disseminate the Code to those suppliers who provide raw materials and components in Spectrum’s manufacturing operations and Spectrum’s contract manufacturers.
 
 
b.
Continued to enforce the process within Spectrum’s manufacturing operations/procurement function to notify new vendors of our conflict minerals policy within the Code.
 
 
c.
Published a copy of our 2017 Form SD and this Conflict Minerals Report on our website at http://www.spectrumbrands.com/corporate-responsibility/default.aspx.
 
 
d.
Continued our supply chain due diligence with the assistance of our Provider, on the source and chain of custody of raw materials and components purchased for Spectrum’s manufacturing operations. Spectrum plans to continue to enhance supplier communication and training on conflict minerals. Spectrum values its supplier relationships, but if any supplier is at risk to or violates Spectrum’s Conflict Minerals Policy or its Code, Spectrum plans to require a corrective action plan from the supplier and move towards conflict free sourcing. Spectrum will not ban sourcing from the Covered Countries, but it seeks to procure materials from responsible sources in the region to assist legitimate, conflict-free businesses there.
 
 
e.
Because of Spectrum’s size, the complexity of its products, and the depth, breadth and constant evolution of its supply chain, it is difficult to identify sub-tier suppliers downstream from its direct suppliers. Spectrum does not purchase product directly from any suppliers, smelters, refiners or mines in the Covered Countries and has no direct contractual relationships with smelters and refiners, as previously noted. Instead, it relies on its direct suppliers to gather and provide specific information about the source of conflict minerals contained in the components supplied to it. Spectrum’s direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers. So the Provider’s assistance with unresponsive first tier suppliers will be valuable to continue to add transparency to the Spectrum supply chain. Our suppliers identified 309 smelters/refiners potentially in the Spectrum suppler chain that our Provider’s database indicated as having valid smelter certification identification numbers. Additional investigation was undertaken to determine the source of and chain of custody of the regulated metals. The following internationally accepted audit standards were checked to determine the OECD conformance status of the SORs: the RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”_, the London Bullion Market Association Responsible Gold Guidance and the Responsible Jewelery Council Chain-of-Custody Standard. If the SOR was not certified by these internationally-recognized schemes, Provider attempted to contact the SOR to encourage their participation with the RMI’s RMAP or a cross-recognized program.
 
Attached to this Conflict Minerals as Attachment A is: a list of the 309 smelters with valid smelter certification numbers identified by our suppliers; a list of the products covered by this Conflict Minerals Report; and a list of countries of origin associated with these smelters for the metals that are necessary to the production of our products. Based on the Reporting Year 2017 results, Spectrum plans to increase the supplier responses for reporting year 2018 by continuing to emphasize to its suppliers the importance of sourcing responsibly and from conflict free sources if the suppliers desire to retain Spectrum’s business.
 
 
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and related guidance, this Conflict Minerals Report was not subjected to an independent private sector audit.
