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, watercraft recreation and camping.
JOI has a publically available Conflict Minerals Policy that may be found at the following URL: http://investor.johnsonoutdoors.com/governance.cfm. 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, 2016, 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 manufactures, and contracts to manufacture, products for which conflict minerals are necessary to 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.
In order to fully comply with the requirements of an issuer under Dodd-Frank, JOI has designed, implemented, executed, and managed its conflict minerals plan as mandated 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. This report includes elements, efforts, results, and conclusions of compliance activities as required by the legislation.
All terms and definitions in this conflict minerals report are as defined by the Final Rules promulgated under Dodd-Frank and by 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 supports the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (CFSI) Conflict Free Smelter Program (CFSP) by performing supply chain compliance and due diligence requirements for smelters sourcing from, or believed to source from or have operations in, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries (Covered Countries, or CCs). These efforts include supporting a clean minerals trade in Covered Countries and maintaining economic relationships with conflict-free smelters in Covered Countries.
1
JOI works annually in cooperation with its first-tier, in-scope suppliers under the applicable provisions of Dodd-Frank to perform risk assessments of smelters and refiners (hereafter referred to collectively as smelters) of tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) that may source and/or have operations in Covered Countries.
Through a holistically managed supply chain due diligence and compliance program, JOI has attempted, to the best of our abilities, to identify all the smelters in our global supply chain as well as the mines and country of origin of 3TG in Covered Countries. At the cornerstone of these efforts is JOI’s supply chain transparency program which mandates participation from specified JOI employees and affected JOI first-tier suppliers. JOI’s due diligence activities cascade through our supply chain to relative smelters and other supply chain actors. These activities are designed to provide communication and facilitate understanding of Dodd-Frank conflict minerals program requirements to all JOI supply chain actors, and to identify applicable risks and specify responsibilities associated with their role in JOI’s supply chain.
This report may be found on our website at: http://investor.johnsonoutdoors.com/sec.cfm. This report is inclusive for all JOI products at a company level, and all covered products in all JOI business groups.
JOI’s Conflict Minerals Program:
Reporting Year 2016 (RY2016) marks the fourth year that JOI has carried out required due diligence procedures to evaluate the extraction and trade of mineral ores containing 3TG, also referred to as conflict minerals (CM). With the support of well established and strong management systems, JOI designed its 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.
JOI’s Conflict Minerals Program is designed to reasonably identify all global 3TG smelters with the purpose to identify 3TG smelters in Covered Countries. Through this program, JOI encourages conflict-free sourced minerals from Covered Countries to enter our global supply chains, and with the goal of reducing the trade in conflict minerals from mines that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups. These efforts are communicated to all first-tier suppliers as well as identified smelters, as applicable.
JOI’s conflict minerals program includes, but is not limited, to the following:
| · |
Maintenance of a publicly available corporate conflict minerals policy.
|
| · |
Design and implementation of an annual organization-wide process that ensures 100% of JOI suppliers, both in and out of scope of the Dodd-Frank conflict minerals rule, are made aware of JOI’s policy and standards regarding conflict minerals and obligations to comply with our conflict minerals policy.
|
2
| · |
Maintenance of internal protocols that ensure conflict minerals supply chain due diligence and obligations are clearly presented and understood by JOI employees who have responsibility for the SEC disclosure requirements under the Dodd-Frank conflict minerals rule.
|
| · |
Survey and analysis of all suppliers and sources of 3TG.
|
| · |
Annual implementation of a supply chain communication plan that requests the completed and current CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) from suppliers in order to facilitate supply chain transparency by gathering, surveying, and evaluating suppliers and sources of 3TG, and identifying 3TG smelters in JOI’s supply chain.
|
| · |
Annual internal audit of first-tier suppliers regarding their understanding of the conflict minerals rule, their obligations regarding the rule, and JOI’s expectations of them regarding their compliance with the rule.
|
| · |
Identification of priority first-tier suppliers that supply electrical and electronic parts.
|
| · |
Escalation of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) efforts to JOI business group leaders, including identifying smelters from priority suppliers.
|
| · |
Collection of conflict minerals information to identify 3TG in our supply chain and identification of 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, country of origin, and mines of these ores, as well as the processing facilities, operations, or trade routes of 3TG.
|
| · |
Reliance on the CFSP and other industry approved mechanisms to validate smelter supply chain due diligence and perform independent third-party audits of smelter due diligence practices.
|
| · |
Internal research to validate smelters not participating in the CFSP or other industry approved mechanisms.
|
| · |
Annual request that first-tier and subsequent tier suppliers only source from CFSP participating smelters and/or validated conflict-free smelters of 3TG.
|
| · |
Direct contact with smelters that are not participating in the CFSP and encouraging them to participate in the CFSP.
|
| · |
Public disclosure and reporting of the results of our due diligence.
|
| · |
Secure maintenance of all records relating to our due diligence efforts for a minimum of five years.
|
| · |
Multi-tiered assessment and performance of risk mitigation efforts throughout our supply chain including review, evaluation and escalation from business group leaders and executives.
|
| · |
Maintenance of an annual improvement plan based on previous reporting years and annual lessons learned.
|
| · |
Maintenance of an online grievance mechanism that allows JOI, its suppliers, and any concerned parties to communicate concerns regarding our conflict minerals program.

Due Diligence:
Design of Due Diligence:
JOI’s conflict minerals program is designed and implemented based on the “Five Step Framework for Risk-Based Due Diligence in the Mineral Supply Chain” (Annex I) and the “Model Supply Chain Policy for a Responsible Global Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas” (Annex II) included in 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” (Third Edition). The due diligence steps performed by JOI, along with a brief description are below.
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems.
Step 2: Identify and assess risk in the supply chain.
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks.
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter due diligence practices.
Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence.
Due Diligence Performed:
JOI performed due diligence measures conforming to the OECD 5 Step Framework as mapped below. These steps are specific to the due diligence regarding the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals identified in our supply chain, and regarding 3TG smelters identified in our supply chain. These activities include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
OECD Steps:
|
JOI Due Diligence Measures Performed:
|

|
4
|
|
· Annually redistribute copies of our conflict minerals policy and basic standards to all active first-tier suppliers, regardless of commodity class or in-scope status of conflict minerals.
· Analyze smelter information from suppliers with the information available from CFSP, the London Market Bullion Association (LBMA), the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), and other accredited industry mechanisms.
· Analyze smelter information from suppliers via other sources, including but not limited to information from: the United States Department of Commerce; United Nations publications; iTSCi (ITRI Tin Supply Chain Initiative); extensive internet research including smelter websites and company profiles; non-governmental organization (NGO) websites; in-region sourcing programs; other company CMRTs; news articles and publications.
· Identify smelters of 3TG that appear to have facilities, or likelihood of facilities, operations or trade routes, in Covered Countries.
· Report identified and/or potential supply chain risks to business group leaders and senior management.
|
|
|
Step 3:
Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks.
|
· Perform internal audit of the distribution of our conflict minerals policy to evaluate and ensure supplier understanding, acknowledgment, and adherence to this policy and our basic standards.
· Perform internal multi-tiered analysis of our suppliers’ CMRTs including: completeness; reasonable response based on commodity class and scope; consistency with previous reporting year information; and identification of smelters.
· Communicate supplier expectations for return of the most current CMRT including identifying all valid smelters.
· Communicate supplier expectation that they notify us of any risks and red flags identified by their own due diligence activities for smelters.
· Communicate supplier expectation that they notify us immediately of any smelters that may be suspected of supporting armed groups in Covered Countries.
· Request supplier confirmation for the validity of questionable and high risk smelter presence in the supply chain.
· Perform ongoing internal and external training of the conflict minerals rules and risks to JOI employees and all suppliers in the supply chain.
· Engage JOI business group leaders, support staff, and third-party consultant in multi-tiered follow ups and escalations with suppliers in an effort to obtain higher quantity and quality of smelter information, particularly from suppliers of electrical and electronic equipment.
· Use JOI level of influence to encourage suppliers to source from CFSP audited and compliant smelters and communicate the expectation that they source only from smelters participating in the CFSP.
|
5
|
· Encourage identified smelters to participate in the CFSP and obtain CFSP certification if they have not already done so.
· Continue to improve on efficiencies and effectiveness of our conflict minerals program to close gaps and mitigate risks for each subsequent reporting year.
· Perform risk mitigation efforts to ensure suppliers are in conformance with our conflict minerals policy and expectations.
· Execute a risk mitigation plan that improves supply chain due diligence and mitigates the risk that any conflict minerals identified in our supply chain benefit any armed groups.
· Communicate risks to business group leaders, our internal conflict minerals executive team, and senior management.
· Perform gap analysis and communicate these gaps and issues to our conflict minerals executive team and to senior management.
|
||
|
Step 4:
Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter due diligence practices.
|
· Identify smelters in Covered Countries that are conflict-free, or participating in a conflict-free program as defined by CFSP.
· Rely on the due diligence performed by CFSP, LBMA and RJC regarding smelter conflict-free status.
· Directly contact smelters in the form of an RCOI regarding chain of custody of conflict minerals and evidence of due diligence for whom we were unable to confirm conflict-free status via the sources above.
|
|
|
Step 5:
Report on supply chain due diligence.
|
· In compliance with Dodd-Frank and the SEC Final Rule, on or before May 31st, 2017, JOI will file Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report (this report) with the SEC, as well as publish this information on its website.
|
Results of Due Diligence:
JOI identified 411 unique and validated 3TG smelters in its supply chain in RY2016. These are associated with the following 3TG as follows:
| · |
Gold: 139
|
| · |
Tantalum: 52
|
| · |
Tin: 153
|
| · |
Tungsten: 67
|
Out of these 411 smelters, JOI has identified 49 unique smelters that we have reason to believe either source 3TG from the DRC and/or surrounding countries (Covered Countries) or have some type of facility or operation in Covered Countries. JOI exercised due diligence on the conflict mineral source and chain of custody for these 49 smelters who appear to have presence in Covered Countries (CCs).
6
Conflict-free (CF) status and Covered Country facility location for these 49 smelters are summarized in the table below. The conflict-free status is based on research concluded on April 6th, 2017 and does not reflect any subsequent changes in this status. Details regarding specific smelter names, countries, and facility locations of 3TG, in and out of Covered Countries, may be shared upon request.

3TG CF Due Diligence Summary:
The CF status for all 3TG smelters that may have facilities located in Covered Countries:
| · |
For gold: smelters appear to be 50% CF
|
7
| · |
For tantalum: smelters appear to be 100% CF
|
| · |
For tin: smelters appears to be 100% CF
|
| · |
For tungsten: smelters appear to be 100% CF
|
CFSP Participation Summary:
The conflict-free status of the 49 smelters listed as a having a possible presence in Covered Countries is as follows:
| · |
38 (78%) are CFSP CF Certified
|
| · |
1 (2%) is Progressing Toward CFSP Certification
|
| · |
6 (12%) are believed to be CF due to other accreditations or website statements
|
| · |
4 (8%) are unknown CF status, as no information was available from public sources and the smelters did not respond to the RCOIs sent
|
Due Diligence Conclusion:
| Ø |
92% of all 3TG smelters that may be in Covered Countries appear to be conflict-free (45 out of 49 smelters)
|
| Ø |
80% of smelters that may be in Covered Countries were participating in a CFSP program
|
Improvements:
There was a significant increase in total smelters, as well as unique smelters, listed in supplier RCOIs in RY2016 compared to RY2015. This is despite the fact that fewer suppliers who indicated the presence of 3TG in their product provided smelter names. This appears to indicate that the suppliers who did furnish smelter names were able to provide significantly more smelter information than in previous years. We believe this reflects a maturing of the supply chain regarding conflict mineral smelter identification and that first-tier suppliers are receiving more smelter data from their suppliers farther up the supply chain.
The percent increase in the total number of valid smelters in the JOI supply chain is consistent with the percent increase of valid smelters believed to have some type of presence in Covered Countries. This appears to indicate that the first-tier suppliers that reported smelters with possible presence in Covered Countries reported the correct representation of all smelters with possible presence in Covered Countries in the supply chain.
For the first time since the requirement to source the chain of custody of mines and country of origin of conflict minerals, JOI is able to reasonably determine that three out of the four 3TG (tin, tantalum and tungsten) in JOI’s supply chain that are believed to be sourced from Covered Countries appear to be 100% conflict-free.
8
Based on JOI’s due diligence practices, the overall conflict-free status of all the 3TG that are believed to be sourced from Covered Countries in JOI’s supply chain rose in RY2016 to a new high of 92% appearing to be conflict-free. This overall increase in conflict-free status in JOI’s supply chain reflects a consistent improvement in our due diligence process and cooperation from our first-tier suppliers in identifying valid smelters that appear to source, or have some type of 3TG operations, in Covered Countries.
Additional information regarding statistical improvements may be shared upon request.
Determination:
JOI has made a reasonable good faith effort to collect and evaluate all information regarding 3TG smelters in our supply chain as provided by our first-tier in-scope suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
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, 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 or have some type of operations in Covered Countries.
Based on these due diligence efforts and at the end of the smelter analysis performed, JOI does not have sufficient information to conclusively confirm that 100% of these smelters are conflict-free, or that 3TGs are sourced exclusively from recycled or scrap sources.
Although we have not been able to confirm the identification 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 first-tier suppliers or OEMs are known to us as sourcing 3TG that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in Covered Countries.
Regarding tin, tantalum, and tungsten, JOI can reasonably conclude after its due diligence efforts that 100% of the tin, tantalum, and tungsten in its supply chain is sourced from smelters that are either conflict-free or that the tin, tantalum, and tungsten are from recycled or scrap sources. 100% of all smelter information is based on identification by JOI first-tier suppliers and/or original equipment manufacturers.
Planned Risk Mitigation and Future Due Diligence Measures:
Throughout each calendar and Reporting Year JOI consistently takes steps to improve our conflict minerals supply chain due diligence program and continues to establish processes designed to mitigate the risk that any conflict minerals identified in our supply chain benefit armed groups. The ongoing goal of these activities is to support a clean and conflict-free minerals trade in Covered Countries by encouraging 3TG sourcing from validated and conflict-free smelters. These activities include but are not limited to the following:
9
| · |
Engage internal business group leaders at a deep level for review, analysis, evaluation, and recommendation for both supplier and smelter risks in each business group.
|
| · |
Impose direct responsibility and action items on business group leaders for supplier escalations and risk assessment.
|
| · |
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 to correctly identify 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 including furnishing CMRTs for their OEMs.
|
| · |
Increase pressure, specifically on suppliers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), to provide current, correct, and more comprehensive smelter information, including CMRTs from their OEMs as applicable.
|
| · |
Continue to review commodity classes for veracity and inclusion of EEE criteria.
|
| · |
Repeat, and continue to enhance, our annual pro-active supplier communication plan to further assist 100% of JOI suppliers regarding the need for correct and complete conflict minerals information to satisfy the SEC requirements, including annual updates and ongoing training.
|
| · |
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.
|
| · |
Use our level of influence to have suppliers re-evaluate and confirm or refute the actual presence of questionable smelters as identified 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.
|
| · |
Through direct and repeat smelter RCOIs and other electronic communication, pressure smelters with undeterminable conflict-free status to become verified as having conflict-free sourcing practices and encourage participation in the CFSP audit process.
|
| · |
Review supplier red flags for locations of gold origin and transit.
|
| · |
Review corrective actions plans and schedules from the CFSP for relevant smelters.

In Conclusion:
This CMR has been prepared based on due diligence efforts performed in good faith by JOI and its first-tier suppliers. The analysis, conclusions and determinations are based on the information available at the time the first-tier supplier and smelter RCOIs were received, results analyzed, and metrics recorded. Additional smelter information was gathered from original equipment manufacturers’ CMRTs. 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.
JOI maintains an early warning risk-awareness conflict minerals grievance mechanism designed to allow 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. Any information found to be contradictory to this CMR may be communicated to JOI through this grievance mechanism which may be found at the following URL:
