Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Johnson Outdoors Inc. (“JOI” or “the Company”) is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of branded seasonal outdoor recreation products used primarily for fishing, diving, paddling and camping.

JOI has a publically available Conflict Minerals Policy that may be found at the following URL: http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/JOUT/1578683010x0x879243/C3293CEC-4CF4-494D-B81E-CD57FAD6BB0E/FINAL_JOI_Conflict_Minerals_Policy_6.2.14.pdf.  The content of any website referred to in this Form SD is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Form SD.

The Company has concluded in good faith that during the year ended December 31, 2015, conflict minerals were necessary to the functionality and/or production of products manufactured by JOI (such minerals are referred to as "necessary conflict minerals").  Necessary conflict minerals were sourced from the Company’s multi-tiered supply chain and were ultimately incorporated into its products via both internal manufacturing processes and by component manufacturers.  The Company, through its independent third party consultant, conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) with due diligence, based on the “Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas,” for its products which was designed to determine whether any of these conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (together, “Covered Countries”) or were from recycled or scrap sources. For a description of our due diligence, please see our Conflict Minerals Report (Exhibit 1.01).

Introduction:

Johnson Outdoors Inc. (“JOI,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is a publicly traded U.S. company that recognizes itself as an issuer as defined under section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, referred to in this report as “Dodd-Frank.”  JOI has manufactured or contracted to manufacture products for which conflict minerals are necessary to their functionality. JOI has reason to believe that some of these necessary conflict minerals may have originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining countries and that some of those minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources.

As an issuer under Dodd-Frank, JOI has designed, implemented, executed, and managed its conflict minerals plan for compliance with Dodd-Frank. Elements, efforts, results, and conclusions of this compliance effort are outlined in this Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) as required by the legislation. This Conflict Minerals Report is filed with our Form SD to comply with the requirements of Rule 13p-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act 1934.

All terms and definitions in this conflict minerals report are as defined by the Final Rules Dodd-Frank and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

JOI’s efforts in compliance with Dodd-Frank support the Conflict-free Smelter Program (CFSP). With the cooperation of its suppliers, JOI has undertaken a risk assessment of smelters and refiners (hereafter referred to collectively as smelters) of tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) and, to the best of its abilities, has attempted to identify the mines of origin of 3TG through a holistically managed supply chain due diligence and compliance program. JOI’s goal is to implement its supply chain transparency program in which its employees, suppliers, smelters, and other actors in its supply chain understand program requirements and identify the applicable risks and responsibilities associated with their role in JOI’s supply chain. This program is designed to reasonably identify all smelters in our supply chain as identified by affected suppliers.
 
JOI’s supply chain compliance and due diligence programs support a clean minerals trade in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries (covered countries, or CC’s), while maintaining economic relationships with conflict-free smelters in the countries covered under this legislation. This report may be found on our website at: http://www. http://investor.johnsonoutdoors.com/sec.cfm.  This report covers all JOI products at a company level and includes all covered products in all JOI businesses.

JOI’s Conflict Minerals Program:

For Reporting Year 2015 (RY2015), JOI maintained strong management systems and carried out due diligence procedures to evaluate the extraction and trade of mineral ores containing 3TG, also referred to as conflict minerals (CM).   JOI implemented a supply chain transparency system and due diligence program to identify and evaluate its 3TG smelters relating to the conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured by JOI, or contracted to be manufactured by JOI.

This system is designed to identify and minimize the trade in conflict minerals from mines that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC region, while enabling legitimate minerals from the DRC and surrounding countries to enter global supply chains.

JOI’s conflict minerals program includes:
· Maintenance of a publicly available conflict minerals policy.
· Annual implementation of an organization-wide process that ensures 100% of JOI suppliers are made aware of JOI’s policy and standards regarding conflict minerals and obligations to comply with our conflict minerals policy.
· Maintenance of internal protocols to ensure that conflict minerals supply chain due diligence and obligations are clearly presented and understood by JOI employees who have knowledge of the SEC disclosure requirements regarding conflict minerals.
· Survey and analysis of suppliers and sources of 3TG.
· Annual implementation of a supply chain communication plan that requests use of the most current Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) in order to gather, survey, and evaluate suppliers and sources of 3TG, and identify 3TG smelters in our supply chain.
· Annual internal audit of first tier suppliers regarding their understanding of the conflict minerals rule and their obligations regarding the rule.
· Identification of priority suppliers who supply electrical and electronic parts.
· Escalation of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) efforts, including identifying smelters from priority suppliers.
· Collection of conflict minerals information to achieve control and transparency over conflict minerals identified in our supply chain and identify any risk that our products may contain conflict minerals that could finance or benefit armed groups in covered countries.
· Identification of 3TG smelters in order to determine the locations of country of origin and mines of these ores.
· Reliance on the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) and other industry approved mechanisms to validate smelter supply chain due diligence.
· Internal research to validate smelters not participating in the CFSP.
· Annual request that suppliers only source from CFSP or validated smelters for 3TG.
· Direct contact efforts with smelters that are not participating in the CFSP and encouraging participation in the CFSP.
· Public disclosure and reporting of the results of our due diligence.
· Maintenance of all records relating to our due diligence efforts for a minimum of five years.
 
2

· Multi-tiered assessment and performance of risk mitigation efforts throughout our supply chain including review and evaluation from business group leaders and executives.
· Maintenance of an improvement plan based on previous reporting years and lessons learned.
· Maintenance of a mechanism that allows JOI, its suppliers, and concerned parties to communicate any concerns regarding our conflict minerals program.

Due Diligence:

Results of Due Diligence:

JOI identified 369 unique smelters in its supply chain in RY2015. These are associated with the following 3TG as follows:

· Gold: 135
· Tantalum: 54
· Tin: 119
· Tungsten: 61

Out of these 369 smelters, JOI has identified 45 unique smelters that we have reason to believe source from the DRC and/or surrounding countries. JOI exercised due diligence on the conflict mineral source and chain of custody for these smelters who appear to have presence in either the DRC or surrounding countries (covered countries, or CCs).

Smelter conflict-free (CF) status and facility location are summarized in the table below. The conflict-free status is based on research concluded by April 19th, 2016 and does not reflect any subsequent changes in this status after such date.  Details regarding specific smelter names, countries, and facility locations of 3TG, in and out of covered countries, will be shared upon request for legitimate business purposes.

Summary:

The CF status for all smelters that may have facilities located in DRC and surrounding countries:

· For gold: smelters appear to be 100% CF
· For tantalum: smelters appear to be 100% CF
· For tin: smelters appears to be 83% CF
· For tungsten: smelters appear to be 80% CF

Ø 91% of all smelters in the DRC and surrounding countries appear to be conflict-free (41 out of 45 smelters)
 
6

Conclusion:

The conflict-free status of the 45 smelters listed as a having a presence in the DRC and surrounding countries is as follows:

· 37 (82%) are CFSP CF Certified
· 2 (4%) are CFSP Active
· 0 (0%) are Progressing Toward CFSP Certification
· 2 (4%) are believed to be CF due to LBMA accreditation and/or website statement
· 4 (9%) are unknown CF status (U/K), as no information was available from public sources and the smelters did not respond to the RCOIs sent

Ø 87% of smelters in covered countries  were participating in a CFSP program

Improvements:

There was a decrease in total smelters and unique smelters listed in supplier RCOIs from RY2014, indicating that JOI’s suppliers are more educated and knowledgeable regarding identifying smelters in their supply chains by omitting entities that are not valid smelters. This may also indicate that suppliers are possibly performing higher levels of due diligence regarding smelters in their own supply chains.

The increase in total unique smelters in covered countries in RY2015 vs. RY2014 indicates that JOI suppliers are identifying more of the relevant smelters in the supply chain in regards to Dodd-Frank. The net increase in 3TG smelters in covered countries is over 160% since the first reporting year in 2013.  These increases are consistent with the number of conflict-free smelters in covered countries from year to year.

Both gold and tantalum in covered countries appear to be 100% conflict-free.  The overall conflict-free status increases over 20% in RY2015, which is much smaller compared to the 112% increase in RY2014. This indicates that more of the relevant smelters are being identified in JOI’s supply chain. The lack of material change in the number of conflict status unknown smelters is the same in the last two years, however the smelters with unknown status were different smelters than those identified in RY2014.

The overall increase in conflict-free status in JOI’s supply chain reflects a consistent improvement in our due diligence process and identification of the number of smelters we were able to identify as sourcing 3TG from covered countries.

Details of statistical improvements will be shared upon request for legitimate business purposes.

Determination:

JOI has made a reasonable good faith effort to collect and evaluate all information regarding 3TG smelters in our supply chain as furnished by our in-scope suppliers.

Based on the information provided by JOI in-scope suppliers and the due diligence that JOI performed to identify smelters of 3TG in covered countries, including conducting smelter direct RCOIs, where applicable, JOI has concluded in good faith that certain smelters in its supply chain either do have, or may have, facilities that source 3TG from covered countries.
 
7

Based on these due diligence efforts, JOI does not have sufficient information to conclusively confirm that 100% of these smelters are conflict-free at the time of this report or that all of the conflict minerals sourced from them are exclusively from recycled or scrap sources.

Although we have not been able to confirm the identification of and conflict-free status as defined by the CFSP for 100% of the smelters identified in our supply chain, we can confirm that none of the smelters identified by our suppliers are known to us as sourcing 3TG that directly or indirectly finances or benefits armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries.

Regarding gold and tantalum, JOI can reasonably conclude after its due diligence efforts that 100% of the gold and 100% of tantalum in its supply chain is sourced from smelters that are either conflict-free or that the gold and tantalum are from recycled or scrap sources.  100% of all smelter information is based on identification by JOI suppliers.
 
Planned Risk Mitigation and Future Due Diligence Measures:

During RY2015 and to present day, JOI has taken certain steps to improve supply chain due diligence and mitigate the risk that any conflict minerals identified in our supply chain benefit any armed groups. The goal of these activities includes supporting a clean and conflict-free minerals trade in the DRC and covered countries and includes the following actions:

· Engage internal business group leaders at a deep level for review, analysis, evaluation, and recommendation for risks in each business group.
· Impose direct responsibility for supplier escalations and risk assessment on business group leaders.
· Leverage multi-tiered influence from JOI internal and external resources in order to compel its in-scope suppliers to deliver more current, accurate, timely, and complete information about their smelters of conflict minerals, and increase both response level and quality of responses.
· Leverage multi-tiered influence from JOI internal and external resources to increase response level from in-scope distributors regarding JOI supply chain procedures and increase their participation in supply chain transparency of conflict minerals.
· Increase pressure, specifically on suppliers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), to provide current, correct, and more comprehensive smelter information.
· Continue to review commodity classes for veracity and inclusion of EEE.
· Repeat and enhance our annual pro-active supplier communication plan to further assist all suppliers regarding JOI’s need for correct and complete conflict minerals information to satisfy the SEC requirements.
· Use our level of influence to encourage all suppliers to source from smelters validated as compliant to a CFSP assessment protocol using the most recent version of the Conflict-free Sourcing Compliant Smelter List as published by the CFSI or other accredited independent validation scheme or institutional mechanism.
· Use our level of influence to encourage all suppliers to source away from un-validated conflict-free smelters, and to identify the sources of conflict minerals in their supply chains.
· Instruct suppliers to advise JOI if they have reason to believe that any person or entity in their supply chain is directly or indirectly financing or benefiting armed groups in the covered countries and provide a discrete mechanism to do so.
 
8

· Through smelter RCOIs and other electronic communication, pressure smelters directly to become verified as having conflict-free sourcing practices and encourage participation in the CFSP audit process.

In Conclusion:

The information presented in this CMR is based on due diligence efforts performed in good faith by JOI and its suppliers. These conclusions and determinations are based on the information available at the time the supplier and smelter RCOIs were made, results analyzed, and metrics recorded. Errors or omissions may be inherent in these results due to errors or omissions in supplier and smelter RCOIs, and the definition of a smelter at the time of the research.

Any information found to be contradictory to this CMR may be communicated to JOI through our early warning risk-awareness conflict minerals grievance mechanism.  This open reporting mechanism allows JOI to receive any additional relevant information that may not have been uncovered through our due diligence process in supply chain transparency as it relates to conflict minerals. A link to JOI’s conflict minerals grievance mechanism may be found at the following URL: http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/JOUT/1578683010x0x761719/72FEE43A-0808-4B6D-9DCA-8B25CD3688DE/JOI_CM_Grievance_Mechanism_Final.pdf
