Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Overview of Owens Corning Products
Owens Corning
(the Company) is comprised of three segments: Composites, Insulation and Roofing.
In the Composites segment, the reinforcements business
manufactures, fabricates and sells glass reinforcements in the form of fiber. The downstream business manufactures and sells glass fiber products in the form of fabrics, non-wovens and other specialized products. In the Insulation segment, the
insulation business makes products such as thermal and acoustical batts and boards, loosefill insulation, foam sheathing and accessories. In the Roofing segment, the business makes laminate and strip asphalt roofing shingles, oxidized asphalt,
roofing components and synthetic packaging materials.
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act defines conflict minerals as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite,
gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are currently limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively, Conflict Minerals). The Company has conducted an internal review of its products and manufacturing processes and determined
that Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the spinners that are part of the machinery used to make insulating materials, filters and other glass fiber products.
In 2017, the Company manufactured or contracted to manufacture spinners. Most of the spinners were used at the Companys facilities in the production of
its insulation products and some of the spinners were sold to third parties. The Company conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) regarding the origin of the Conflict Minerals in the spinners. In conducting
the RCOI, the Company contacted the single contract manufacturer of spinner parts containing Conflict Minerals (the Supplier) and discussed its policies and practices regarding the sourcing of Conflict Minerals. The Supplier indicated
that it has received written certifications from its
sub-suppliers
that the conflict minerals they provide to the Supplier do not originate from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or an
adjoining country, but the Supplier does not have third-party validation from a particular organization, program or protocol regarding each of the smelters used by its
sub-suppliers.
The Company has obtained a
completed Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global
e-Sustainability
Conflict Minerals Reporting Template from the Supplier that provided no indication or reason to believe that Conflict Minerals in
the spinner parts it supplied had originated from the DRC or an adjoining country. The Company continues to work with the Supplier to ensure that the Conflict Minerals supplied for spinner products do not originate in the DRC or an adjoining
country.
