Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report |
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV
(together with its consolidated subsidiaries, AB InBev, Company, we or our) hereby files this Form SD pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions to the terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein. A
copy of this Form SD is also posted to the Companys website at: https://www.ab-inbev.com/investors/results-center/.
AB InBev has determined that it
manufactures one product employing necessary conflict minerals within the scope of Form SD:
|
|
|
A line of glass bottles manufactured by an AB InBev subsidiary utilizes the coating Certincoat® TC100, which contains the conflict mineral tin necessary for its functionality. AB InBev is supplied Certincoat® TC100 by a single
supplier. |
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
AB InBev first provided a detailed questionnaire to its supplier of Certincoat® TC100 to ascertain its
diligence processes in sourcing the conflict mineral tin for fiscal year 2013. The supplier provided AB InBev with a completed Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability Initiative
(EICC/GeSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (EICC/GeSI Template), a template developed in accordance with 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. AB InBevs supplier has updated its EICC/GeSI Template responses for fiscal year 2021. In its completed EICC/GeSI
Template, the supplier confirmed that it has received completed EICC/GeSI Templates from 100% of its smelters. The supplier compared its list of smelters with information provided by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI). The
CFSI, through its Conflict-Free Smelter Program, uses independent third-party audits to certify smelters and refiners that have systems in place to assure sourcing of only conflict free materials. A list of smelters and refiners that are
considered compliant with the Conflict-Free Smelter Program audit protocols, as determined by the CFSI, is published on the CFSI website. According to the supplier, all the parties providing replies confirmed that the tin sourced either was not from
the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country, or was on the CFSIs approved conflict free list. The suppliers replies identified fourteen smelters from which the supplier obtained tin, and
there is no indication that any of these smelters sourced tin from the DRC or an adjoining country. The supplier also provided its internal Conflict Minerals Policy confirming its commitment to responsible sourcing and its commitment to use its best
efforts not to acquire conflict minerals from the DRC or an adjoining country unless such materials are certified as conflict free.
Based on
the documentation it has received from its supplier, AB InBev has no reason to believe that necessary conflict minerals it purchased from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 triggered any additional filing requirements, and has concluded
that its due diligence represents a good faith and reasonable effort to determine the origins of the tin used in its supply chains.
