CNH Industrial N.V.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2023
I. |
Introduction and Company Overview |
This report has been prepared by CNH Industrial N.V. pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the Rule) promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). References to internet websites herein are provided only as required by the Rule and information available through these websites is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD.
Unless otherwise specified, the terms we, us, our, CNHI, and the Company refer to CNH Industrial N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the
laws of the Netherlands, together with its consolidated subsidiaries or any one or more of them, as the context may require.
With 2023 net sales of
$24.7 billion, CNH Industrial is a leading equipment and services company engaged in the design, production, marketing, sale, and financing of agricultural and construction equipment. We have industrial and financial services companies located
in 32 countries and a commercial presence in approximately 164 countries. CNH Industrials industrial operations include two segments. The Agriculture segment designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of farm machinery and implements,
including two-wheel and four-wheel drive tractors, crawler tractors, combines, grape and sugar cane harvesters, hay and forage equipment, planting and seeding equipment, soil preparation and cultivation
implements, and material handling equipment as well as technology dedicated to Precision Agriculture. The Construction segment designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of construction equipment including excavators, crawler dozers, graders,
wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders, and compact track loaders. CNH Industrial also provides financing and services through its Financial Services segment. Tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) can be found in all of CNH
Industrials products.
Our products are highly complex, typically containing thousands of parts from many direct suppliers. We have relationships
with a vast network of suppliers throughout the world. Many of our suppliers are located outside the United States and include foreign entities that are not subject to the Rule. In addition, there are generally multiple tiers between the 3TG mines
and our suppliers. Therefore, we must rely on our direct suppliers to work with their suppliers to provide us with accurate information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials purchased by us.
II. |
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) |
We conducted an inquiry of our suppliers to determine the country of origin of the components provided to CNH Industrial. Our RCOI comprised identification of
relevant suppliers and a survey of those suppliers.
Because of the scope and complexity of our supply chain, we developed a risk-based approach that
focused on our major direct suppliers as well as direct suppliers that we believed were likely to provide us with components containing 3TG (collectively, the Surveyed Suppliers). Surveyed Suppliers represented approximately 86% of the
purchases (by dollar value) that we made for goods from suppliers. For 2023, we received responses from more than 72% of our Surveyed Suppliers equaling 484 total responses.
We requested that all Surveyed Suppliers provide information to us regarding 3TG and smelters using the template developed by the Responsible Minerals
Initiative (RMI), known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the Template). The Template is a free, standardized reporting template that facilitates disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and
refiners that provide 3TG to a manufacturers supply chain. It includes questions regarding a direct suppliers conflict-free policy and its due diligence process, and requests information about its supply chain such as the names and
locations of smelters and refiners as well as the origin of 3TG used by such smelters and refiners. The information we receive is submitted into an electronic database to facilitate information analysis.
