Section 1 Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report.
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
This Form SD of Ferro
Corporation (we or us) is filed pursuant to Rule
13p-1
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period from January 1 through December 31,
2018. In accordance with Instruction 3 to Item 1.01 of Form SD, this Form SD does not include products manufactured or contracted for manufacture by businesses that had not been obligated to provide a specialized disclosure report with respect to
conflict minerals and were acquired by us on or after May 1, 2017.
Rule
13p-1
requires us to disclose
annually whether any conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of products that we manufactured or contracted for manufacture during the reporting period originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any
adjoining country (each a Covered Country and collectively, the Covered Countries), or were from recycled or scrap sources. Conflict minerals are gold, cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite or their
derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten.
Accordingly, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry, which was
reasonably designed to determine whether any of the necessary conflict minerals in our products originated in a Covered Country or came from recycled or scrap sources.
We used our enterprise resource planning systems and internal inquiries to identify suppliers who supplied us necessary conflict minerals contained in
products that we manufactured or contracted for manufacture during the reporting period that is the subject of this Form SD. We identified seven (7) suppliers who supplied us necessary conflict minerals contained in products that we
manufactured or contracted for manufacture during the reporting period. We sent each of those identified suppliers a Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (version 5.12) (CMRT) developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (formerly
known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative) and asked them to complete the template for products or materials supplied to us that were contained in products that we manufactured or contracted for manufacture in 2018. We received responses (by
either a letter or completed CMRT) from all of those suppliers and reviewed the responses against our conflict minerals policy. When we determined that our suppliers responses contained information we believed to be incomplete or potentially
inconsistent with our conflict minerals policy, we followed up with those suppliers by
e-mail
or by phone to seek additional information or clarification about those responses. As a result of those responses,
either we have no reason to believe that the necessary conflict minerals contained in products that we manufactured or contracted for manufacture during the reporting period may have originated in the Covered Countries or we reasonably believe that
such necessary minerals came from recycled or scrap sources.
