Exhibit 1.01

 

VOXX International Corporation

Conflict Minerals Report

For The Year Ended December 31, 2020

 

This is the Conflict Minerals Report of VOXX International Corporation (herein referred to as “Voxx,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for Calendar Year 2020 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Conflict Minerals Rule”). Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD, and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions to the terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein.

 

The Conflict Minerals 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 Conflict Minerals Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals that 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”) for the purposes of this assessment. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.

 

If a registrant can establish that the conflict minerals originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”), or from recycled and scrap sources, the registrant must submit a Form SD which describes the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry completed.

 

If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the conflict minerals in its supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if it is unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the issuer must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody. The registrant must annually submit a report, Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”), to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.

 

 


 

 

Company Overview and Supply Chain

 

We support the humanitarian goal of the Dodd-Frank Act in ending the illegal trade of Conflict Minerals originating in the Covered Countries, while supporting legitimate commercial ventures in the region. We do not purchase any Conflict Minerals directly from any source. We are dedicated to working with our suppliers to increase transparency regarding the origin of minerals contained in our products.

 

Product Lines:  Voxx is a leading international manufacturer and distributor operating within the Automotive Electronics, Consumer Electronics and Biometrics industries.  Our principle products include mobile multi-media infotainment products, including overhead, seat-back, and headrest systems; automotive security, remote start systems, and vehicle access systems; satellite radio products, including plug and play models and direct connect models; smartphone telematics applications; mobile interface modules; automotive power accessories; power lift gates; driver distraction products; rear observation and collision avoidance systems; turn signal switches; automotive lighting products; automotive sensing and camera systems; USB ports; cruise control systems; heated seats; home theater systems; premium loudspeakers; outdoor speakers; architectural speakers; commercial and cinema speakers; business and streaming music systems; wireless and Bluetooth speakers and soundbars; wired, wireless, and Bluetooth headphones and ear buds; DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible devices; remote controls; karaoke products; personal sound amplifiers; infant/nursery products; High-Definition Television ("HDTV") and Wireless Fidelity (“WiFi”) antennas; High-Definition Multimedia Interface ("HDMI") accessories; home electronic accessories such as cabling, power cords, charging products, power supply systems, and other connectivity products; performance enhancing electronics; flat panel TV mounting systems; electronic equipment cleaning products; set-top boxes; and iris identification and biometric security related products.  We conducted an analysis of our products and found that tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) are found in substantially all of our products.

 

Determination of In-Scope Products:  We are subject to the Conflict Mineral Rule because certain products that we manufacture and distribute contain 3TG that are necessary to the functionality or production of the products; however, we do not directly source 3TG from mines, smelters, or refiners.  We believe that in most cases, we are several steps removed in the supply chain from these market participants, limiting our influence over their sourcing.  Furthermore, because of the depth, geographic diversity, complexity, and evolution of our supply chain, and due to competitive factors, we have difficulty identifying market participants above our direct suppliers in the supply chain and must rely on our direct suppliers to work with their upstream suppliers in order that they may provide us with accurate information about the origin of 3TG in the components we purchase.

 

 


 

 

Determination:  For 2020, we did not find that any of the necessary 3TG contained in our products directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups in the DRC or an adjoining country; however, we did not conclude that any of our products were “DRC conflict free,” because there are too many remaining unknowns.  Furthermore, given that Voxx has not voluntarily elected to describe any of its products as “DRC conflict free,” an independent private sector audit of the report presented herein has not been conducted.  Our use of the terms “adjoining country,” “armed group” and “DRC conflict free” have the same meanings as those provided in the Conflict Minerals Rule.

 

Conflict Minerals Policy

 

Voxx strongly disapproves of the violence in the DRC and adjoining countries.  We have a DRC Conflict Minerals sourcing policy setting forth that the Company does not knowingly source metals that come from conflict mines in the Eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries (the “Conflict Region”).  The Company has no policy that would avoid sourcing from the DRC and covered countries altogether, but rather strives to source responsibly from this region. Voxx’s goal is to ultimately be able to certify that all of its products are manufactured with conflict free minerals. Voxx’s Conflict Minerals Policy statement can be found here: VOXX International : Sustainability (voxxintl.com).

 

All employees who are members of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Process Organization (as defined in section 1.B. of the Due Diligence portion of the report) are required to review the Company’s policy on conflict minerals and the relevant due diligence process.  The Process Administrator and Conflict Minerals Champions (as defined within Establish Strong Company Management Systems in the Due Diligence Design section) are responsible for ensuring that the related materials are appropriately communicated to organization members and key employees involved in the Company’s supply chain management.

 

Suppliers are encouraged to support industry efforts to enhance traceability and responsible practices in global mineral supply chains.  The Company provides consultation and reference materials to all suppliers, as requested, to aid them in understanding our conflict mineral process and due diligence plan and in developing their own policies toward preventing the use of conflict minerals or derivative metals sourced from mines controlled by armed groups in the Conflict Region.

 

 


 

 

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

As required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, we conducted a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” covering 2020. Voxx utilizes Conflict Minerals software and services provided by its External Conflict Minerals Advisor to conduct its reasonable country of origin inquiry.  Our outreach included communicating requests for the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) (formerly CFSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“the CMRT”) to all Voxx’s direct suppliers.

 

Supplier Surveys:  Our data source consisted of all Company purchases for the calendar year and we identify our population of suppliers based on these purchases and focused on all products sourced from these suppliers. We requested that all suppliers provide information to us regarding 3TG and smelters using the CMRT. The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and refiners that provide material to a manufacturer’s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a direct supplier’s conflict-free policy, its due diligence process, and information about its supply chain such as the names and locations of smelters and refiners as well as the origin of 3TG used by those facilities.

 

Our evaluation encompassed 100% of the raw materials we purchased in 2020 from third parties for which the Company has manufacturing oversight, in accordance with the Conflict Minerals Rule.  For the purpose of the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry, Voxx continued to receive supply chain responses through May 24, 2021.  Based on the process described above, Voxx received the following results from its Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry:

The Company has noted that supplier engagement was higher for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the December 31, 2019 reporting year, but remains lower than the December 31, 2018 reporting year.  The decline in response for the December 31, 2019 reporting year was attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in late 2019 and spread globally in 2020 and has continued in 2021 as businesses in countries around the world continue to work toward returning to normal operations. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in widespread disruptions in business continuity around the world and included quarantines, business closures, and supply chain disruptions, leaving many of the third parties we purchase from unable to respond to our inquiries or at a limited capacity and ability to do so during the December 31, 2019 reporting year. While we achieved an improved response rate for the December 31, 2020 reporting year, some of our suppliers continue to be impacted by the pandemic. Despite this fact, our supplier responses in 2020, 2019 and 2018 were significantly higher than they were when the Company began the process in 2013 with a response rate of 50%, and the number of unknown materials in our supplier responses has decreased as compared to our 2018 responses, which is a positive trend.  As such, we believe we have compiled the most complete and accurate data for 2020, representing the minerals in our supply chain.  Refer also to the Company’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry process for the steps taken by the Company in 2020 above.

 

Provided below is a link to Voxx’s internet disclosure of this Conflict Minerals Report: https://investors.voxxintl.com/financial-information/sec-filings.

 

Through Supply Chain Solutions, Voxx has created and maintains a database of this information, with the assistance of its External Conflict Minerals Advisor, Verisk 3E (“3E”).  A copy of the declared sources of material has been included as part of this filing in Appendix A.  The declared sources represent a summary of all available information, which has been declared by our suppliers in response to the RCOI.

 

Verification of Supplier Responses:  We utilize the CMRT developed by the RMI to identify smelters and refiners in our supply chain.  The CMRT must be completed and signed by an appropriate supplier signatory and requires suppliers to provide information concerning the usage and source of 3TG in their components, parts, and products, as well as information concerning their related compliance efforts.

 

Each year, prior to administering the CMRT to our suppliers, 3E sends preliminary letters to each in-scope supplier to provide additional information about the CMRT that will be sent.  Voxx also offers to its suppliers online training sessions, through 3E, in multiple languages, to assist the suppliers in their understanding and timely completion of the CMRT and to educate them regarding the relevant SEC requirements and Voxx’s due diligence expectations.

 


 

 

Due Diligence Design

 

We have designed our due diligence measures relating to 3TG to conform with, in all material respects, the criteria set forth in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Mineral from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, including the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and the Supplement on Gold (Second Edition 2013) (the “OECD Guidance”).  The OECD Guidance establishes a five-step framework for due diligence as a basis for responsible global supply chain management of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.  Due diligence is required for the 3TG found during our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry that may possibly be sourced from the covered countries, or for which the origin is unknown based on our RCOI.  The goal of our due diligence is to mitigate the risk that trade of 3TG in our products directly or indirectly funds illicit armed groups in the covered countries.  The numbered headings below conform to the headings used in the OECD Guidance for each of the five steps.

 

 

1.

Establish Strong Company Management Systems

 

 

A.

Policy - As cited above, we have adopted a Conflict Minerals sourcing policy setting forth that the Company does not knowingly source metals that come from conflict mines in the Eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (the “Conflict Region”).  The Company strives to source responsibly from this region.  Voxx’s goal is to ultimately be able to certify that all of its products are manufactured with conflict free minerals.  Voxx’s Conflict Minerals Policy statement can be found at: https://www.voxxintl.com/sustainability/

 

 

B.

Internal Management Systems to Support Supply Chain Due Diligence - Voxx has created internal standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) for its Conflict Minerals Process Organization (“the Organization”), which was established by the Company to lead the Company’s conflict minerals evaluation and due diligence process.  These SOPs provide a step-by-step process that each business unit, department, and employee must follow to generate and maintain the necessary information needed for Voxx’s compliance with the Rule.

 

The Organization is structured to provide Company-wide involvement of key individuals who have an impact on product development, procurement, production, supplier evaluation, public relations, corporate and social responsibility, information technology, legal, and reporting.  The members of the Organization are responsible for ensuring that the Company’s due diligence process is properly executed, and all issues

 


 

identified during implementation or ongoing execution are appropriately addressed and resolved on a timely basis.  The Organization includes:

 

 

Process Oversight - VOXX International Corporation’s Board of Directors

 

Process Sponsor - President and Chief Executive Officer, who sets the tone at the top and emphasizes the importance of maintaining compliance with the Company’s established Conflict Minerals policy and due diligence process and improving supply chain management related to potential conflict minerals sources.

 

Process Leader - One of Voxx’s Assistant Vice Presidents in the Accounting Department, who develops and oversees the Conflict Minerals due diligence process, ensures compliance with due diligence objectives, and oversees day to day coordination of efforts pertaining to the due diligence process between management, external advisors, and auditors.

 

Process Administrator - Responsible for administering and documenting day to day activities of the Conflict Minerals due diligence process, and coordinating efforts between management, external advisors, and auditors.  This role is performed by one of the Company’s administrative assistants.

 

External Conflict Minerals Advisor - Verisk 3E

 

Conflict Minerals Steering Committee - Representing a cross-section of the Company’s organizational leadership, responsible for sustaining and driving the Conflict Minerals due diligence process, making decisions, and ensuring the evaluation process proceeds efficiently and effectively. The members of this committee include the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel, as well identified leads at Corporate headquarters and within the Company’s subsidiaries at which the majority of products and materials containing conflict minerals reside, generally members of the Engineering Department.

 

Corporate Compliance Team - Responsible for monitoring the control environment related to, and management of, the external reporting process.  Members of this team include the Manager of Financial Reporting and the Compliance Manager, who are responsible for the filing of SEC reports and the Company’s SOX compliance, as well as members of the Accounting Department, who carry out the conflict minerals due diligence objectives.

 

Conflict Minerals Champions - Designated individuals at each of the Company’s subsidiaries responsible for monitoring the functions in their respective processes, communicating with the Conflict Minerals Steering Committee about issues and changes within their processes, and

 


 

 

communicating with local personnel on new developments or requirements of the Conflict Minerals evaluation.

 

Significant Subsidiaries and Process Owners - Significant operating groups (and their respective owners/group leaders) identified by Company management that source or manufacture products containing minerals included on the Conflict Minerals list and requiring evaluation.

 

The Conflict Minerals Steering Committee, Corporate Compliance Team, and Conflict Minerals Champions are responsible for assisting the Process Owners in the development, documentation and implementation of the Company’s procedures and the evaluation of potential conflict minerals procurement for its supply chain.  All internal resources performing and/or assisting in the Conflict Minerals evaluation and due diligence are qualified to perform his/her respective duties in the evaluation and are trained on the systems used to carry out the Company’s due diligence.

 

Voxx uses 3E’s online database to maintain business records, including supplier responses, supplier corrective actions and risk mitigation processes.  A report is generated from the database, at least annually, outlining the information gathered and the actual and potential risks identified in the supply chain risk assessment.

 

 

C.

Establish a System of Controls and Transparency Over Conflict Mineral Supply Chain - We use 3E’s online database to track and evaluate supplier responses, which produces reports including red flags on suppliers currently providing conflict minerals and the metals contained in the product; items and related suppliers with one or more red flags; suppliers with insufficient responses; suppliers with anomalies in the due diligence process that need resolution; and suppliers who fail to respond. This report is used to prepare the Company’s annual Conflict Minerals Report, as well as to plan for the subsequent years’ due diligence efforts.  The storage of these metrics is an important part of demonstrating transparency and in accordance with OECD guidance in Step 1 - C.5., is maintained for a minimum of five (5) years, which allows Voxx to show the long-term evolution and improvement of its program to its shareholders.

 

 

D.

Strengthen Company Engagement with Suppliers - For the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Conflict Minerals reporting years, members of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Process Organization traveled to the annual Consumer Electronics Show (“CES”) in Las Vegas, Nevada, held each January, in order to conduct in-person meetings with several of the Company’s top suppliers to discuss the Company’s conflict mineral initiatives and provide additional information and answer inquiries related to the CMRT administered.  The meetings were arranged by Voxx’s Process Administrator, based on information obtained and supplied by

 


 

 

the Company’s engineers, Purchasing Department, and project managers, through their ongoing communication with the suppliers throughout the year.  These meetings provided the Company with the opportunity to engage with suppliers and direct them to information and training resources to attempt to increase the response rate and improve the content of the supplier survey responses.  During 2015, the Company and representatives from 3E met with several suppliers to review previous submissions of the CMRT and discuss how to properly complete the template. Many suppliers had not provided the necessary level of detail in prior years and the Company specifically arranged time with these suppliers to address their questions and clearly express the Company’s expectations.  Going forward, The Company intends to hold these meetings periodically, as deemed necessary, in order to maintain its relationships with vendors that have been developed in prior years, as we believe the ability to meet with these suppliers in person improves the due diligence process.

 

The Company strives to maintain positive long-term relationships with all of its suppliers while remaining cost competitive in the market and upholding established quality standards.  Whenever possible, the Company will leverage its long-term relationships to influence its suppliers to support conflict minerals initiatives and enable the Company to continue to responsibly source from them.

 

 

2.

Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

 

 

A.

Identify Smelters/Refiners in Supply Chain - The Company’s consultant, 3E, has created and maintains for Voxx, a supplier database to facilitate supply chain inquiries and control the documentation of due diligence performed related to potential conflict minerals within its supply chain.  The supplier database is maintained within a software tool, Supply Chain Solutions, provided to the Company by 3E.  3E ensures the security of supplier information and that responsible Organization members have been granted access to enter and maintain products and suppliers within the database and execute supplier inquiries.  The Company reports on all conflict mineral related products each year.  In order to accomplish this, the suppliers of each item on the active item lists provided by the operating groups are identified. After the initial assessment is complete, suppliers providing conflict mineral related items are clearly identified in the Supplier Database.

 

We request all of our suppliers to complete the CMRT to determine the mines or locations of origin of 3TG in our supply chain.  Additionally, we request that suppliers provide us with smelter IDs, as applicable, related to the smelters they source from.  We use the data collected to compare to a validated smelter list to help us decide how we wish to conduct business with these suppliers going forward.

 


 

 

 

B.

Risk Assessment Scope – The Process Leader and members of the Corporate Compliance team meet with advisors from 3E at least bi-weekly after CMRTs are sent to the suppliers in order to discuss the status of due diligence efforts, as well as to improve efforts to obtain information on country of origin of the minerals and to mitigate red flags.

 

Each year, subsequent to the filing of our Conflict Minerals Report, our advisors from 3E conduct a “lessons learned” meeting with the Process Leader and the Corporate Compliance Team to discuss how best to focus our efforts on non-responsive vendors for the following reporting year in order to continue our efforts to improve vendor responses.

 

 

C.

Assess Due Diligence - Responses to the CMRT must contain all required data in the format corresponding to the survey.  If responses are incomplete or inconsistent, the supplier is contacted and asked for missing or supplemental data. This is initially done by 3E via emails sent to the suppliers and followed up by telephone contact.  After unsuccessful attempts at contact by 3E, the supplier and CMRT information in question will be referred to the Corporate Compliance team as ‘non-responsive,’ where additional attempts to contact the supplier via email or phone are made by the team to obtain the required information and reiterate the Company’s expectations of compliance.

 

Product information provided in the CMRT responses are compared to the Company’s purchasing records for the suppliers to ensure it supports the supplier’s disclosure (i.e., products included on the CMRT match products listed in supplier’s response). Some suppliers provide a ‘company level response,’ which is a disclosure of all the metals and smelters the supplier uses in every product it sells. When a company level response is received, 3E and the Corporate Compliance Team review the information and materials listed, as compared to the Company’s purchasing records.

 

Smelter information provided in the CMRT is compared to the CFSI Conflict Free Smelter (“CFS”) list at http://www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org/. 3E compares supplier reported smelter information per the completed CMRT to the list on this site to validate whether the smelter is known and further determine its status with CFSI in the event it is known (i.e., Compliant, Active, In Progress, or none). 3E’s conflict mineral software provides reports broken down by “known” and “unknown” smelters for review by the Corporate Compliance team.

 

 


 

 

 

3.

Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

 

We have procedures for monitoring and reporting on risk to designated senior management, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors.  Pursuant to these procedures, the findings of our compliance efforts are reported to senior management of the Company, as well as to the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

 

 

4.

Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

 

In connection with our due diligence, we utilize information made available by the CFSI concerning third party audits of smelters and refiners to determine whether the smelter or refiner has obtained a conflict free certification and remains in compliance.

 

 

5.

Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

 

We file a Form SD, and to the extent applicable, a Conflict Mineral Report, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and make them available on our website.

 

Due Diligence Execution

 

 

1.

We sent requests to all of our suppliers identified for 2020 who we believe sold us products containing 3TG.  We requested that they complete a CMRT and provide us with smelter ID’s, as applicable, related to the smelters they source from.  We (3E, followed by the Corporate Compliance team) followed up via email and phone with suppliers who did not provide a response or provided an incomplete CMRT within the specified time frame communicated to the suppliers.

 

 

2.

We compared product information provided in the CMRT responses to our purchasing records for the suppliers to ensure it supports the supplier’s disclosure (i.e., products included on the CMRT match products listed in supplier’s response).  Any inconsistencies in information resulted in follow up emails or phone calls to the supplier to clarify the CMRT responses.

 

 

3.

We reviewed the smelter information provided by suppliers in the CMRT and compared the information against the CFS list.

 


 

 

 

4.

The findings of our compliance efforts with respect to the calendar year ended December 31, 2020 were reported to senior management of the Company, as well as to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

 

Future steps to be taken to improve due diligence and risk mitigation

 

We intend to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate the risk that the conflict minerals in our products finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC:

 

 

Continue to engage suppliers to obtain current, accurate and complete information about the supply chain.

 

Continue to focus efforts to determine the source of components that the Company identified as not being conflict free or that had unknown results with the goal to reduce the number of unknown materials in the products our suppliers sell to us.

 

Work through the CFSI to expand the smelters and refiners participating in the CFS Program.

 

Engage any suppliers, if found to be providing us with components or materials containing conflict minerals from sources that support conflict in the DRC, to establish an alternative source of conflict minerals that does not support such conflict.

 

Work with the OECD and relevant trade associations to define and improve best practices and encourage responsible sourcing of conflict minerals.

 

Based on the information provided by Voxx’s suppliers utilized during 2020, the Company believes that the facilities that may have been used to process 3TG’s in our products include the smelters and refiners listed in Appendix A below. The supplier responses included Known and Unknown smelters, but based on the absence of reliable information on the Unknown smelters, only the Known smelters have been included in Appendix A.
