Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
The following disclosure, in response to the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 1.01 of Form SD, has been made in accordance with the Updated Statement on the Effect of the Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule issued by the SEC Division of Corporation Finance on April 7, 2017.
This Conflict Minerals Disclosure is for the year ended December 31, 2023. Conflict minerals are defined for purposes of this disclosure as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold.
Summary of Process Used to Determine Whether Company Products Contain Conflict Minerals
REV Group, Inc. (the “Company”) has established procedures and processes for collecting, reviewing and evaluating the presence and use of conflict minerals within its products, including the implementation of a global policy document outlining the procedure for conflict minerals management and compliance. As required by Rule 13p-1, the Company conducted a review of its products, within the scope, to determine whether those products contain conflict minerals and, subsequently commenced a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) for any products that do contain such conflict minerals as outlined in more detail below. The Company’s review process focuses on its suppliers, taking into account the type of product supplied by its various suppliers.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence Related to the Source and Chain of Custody of the Conflict Minerals
The Company requested its suppliers to complete a Conflict Minerals Survey. Given the Company’s position in the supply chain as a “downstream” company, the Company has to rely on its suppliers to conduct their own survey of their “upstream” supply chain in relation to the conflict minerals used in its products.
The Company reviewed each supplier’s Conflict Minerals Survey response that it received for completeness and consistency of answers and reached out to each supplier to provide additional clarifications, where appropriate. As a result, the Company believes that its RCOI process was reasonably designed and performed in good faith.
Several of the Company’s suppliers indicated in response to the Conflict Minerals Survey that they source tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold from facilities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country. None of the Company’s other suppliers indicated in response to the Conflict Minerals Survey that the conflict minerals it supplies to the Company, if any, originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country. However, certain of the Company’s suppliers were unable to provide the Company with information regarding the country of origin or the smelters related to the conflict minerals they supply that are incorporated into the Company’s products. As a result of these suppliers’ inability to provide the Company with this information, the Company is unable to conduct any further due diligence on the conflict minerals used in such products. As such, the Company was unable to determine the origin of certain of the conflict minerals used within its products.
