Conflict Minerals Report of Ormat Technologies, Inc. For The Year Ended December 31, 2016
Introduction:
We are a Delaware corporation, whose shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
We are a leading vertically integrated company, currently engaged primarily in the geothermal and recovered energy power business, with the objective of becoming a leading global provider of renewable energy. This is the Conflict Minerals Report (this "Report") of Ormat Technologies, Inc. ("Ormat", the "Company" or "we") for calendar year 2016 in accordance with Rule13p- 1, as Amended ("Rule 13p- 1") every registrant that (i) files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under Sections 13(a) or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act and (ii) has "conflict minerals" that are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured or contracted by that registrant to be manufactured, is required to file a Conflict Minerals Report within the period specified therein. "Conflict Minerals" are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold ("3TG").
As part of Ormat's sustainability approach our Code of Conduct defines the company's overall principles and commitment towards legal compliance, ethical conduct, human rights, anti-corruption work and environmental protection. These high expectations extend to Ormat partners, subcontractors and suppliers. In connection with Rule 13p-1, we have adopted a policy with respect to our sourcing of conflict minerals which is in compliance with the OECD guidance and implemented a comprehensive conflict minerals program, aimed to ensure responsible sourcing and not to eliminate sourcing from DRC.
Unless otherwise defined herein, defined terms used in this Report have the meaning ascribed to such terms in Rule 13p- 1, Form SD, and the 1934 Act Release No. 34- 67716 (August 22, 2012).
1. Overview
Company Overview
Ormat and its subsidiaries currently conduct business activities in the following two business segments:
- Electricity Segment in this segment, we develop, build, own and operate geothermal and recovered energy- based power plants in the United States and geothermal power plants in other countries around the world and sell the electricity they generate and in the future, we plan to include services and other revenues derived from activity in the demand response and storage market; and
- Product Segment in this segment, we design, manufacture and sell equipment for geothermal and recovered energy- based electricity generation, remote power units and other power generating units and provide services relating to the engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance of geothermal and recovered energy- based power plants and in the future, other power generating units such as Solar PV and energy storage.
Our customers for the Product segment are contractors, geothermal power plant owners and geothermal power plant developers and operators.

Supply Chain
In accordance with applicable SEC rules, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of those conflict minerals used in our Product Segment. We concluded that no such examination is necessary with respect to the Electricity Segment because this segment does not involve the sale of products by the Company.
In connection with our manufacturing activities in the Product Segment, we identified certain conflict minerals that are used by us and are necessary to the functionality and production of our products in the following raw materials or components used by us: steel (low and high grade), electronic cards and electronic cables (including tin plating). All of such raw materials are being purchased from various suppliers. We also use subcontractors to manufacture some of our products' components and for construction activities of power plants. We work with a large number of suppliers throughout the world and often there are multiple tiers between the gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (3TG) mines and our direct suppliers. Therefore, we have to rely on our Tier 1 suppliers to cooperate with us and work with their own upstream suppliers or sub-contractors in order for them to provide us with accurate information about the origin of the 3TG in the components we purchase from them that are included in our products. In order to overcome the difficulties of receiving accurate information from a complex supply chain, Ormat has communicated its Conflict Minerals policy and activities to its suppliers, and has adopted the CFSI's reporting template (CMRT) for suppliers' survey.
2. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)
Ormat has conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an "adjoining country" (together, the "Covered Countries") or are from "recycled or scrap sources" (as such terms are defined in Rule 13p-1). In parallel, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of those conflict minerals to the large number of suppliers we identified as ones from whom we source materials or components that may contain 3TG.
As part of our RCOI, we employed several methods to assess whether the necessary conflict minerals in our products originated from any of the Covered Countries, including the following:
- Internal assessment and analysis of our products to determine which products contain or may contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of these products.
- Compiled a list of suppliers based on the applicable suppliers list which Ormat purchased from during the calendar year 2016, which was issued using the Ormat Management System (OMS) by IT developers and according to the criterions defined by the OMS manager and the Purchasing manager. The list includes a total of 1,218 suppliers. Each supplier has a "Purchase Types" field, which contains one of the following values: Services, BOM, Office supplier, Goods and Capital Expenditure. Only the suppliers with "BOM" values in "Purchase Types" field were applicable to the conflict minerals rule. In order to identify and assess risk in the supply chain, we undertook a risk- based approach and engaged the suppliers representing approximately 90% of our 2016 expenditures on procurement for the product segment. Therefore, Ormat's finalized level 1 suppliers list ("relevant suppliers") includes a total of 124 suppliers after the removal of 6 duplicates.
- Contracted a third party service provider to assist us with the suppliers' survey. Through this third party, we sent letters to our relevant suppliers to explain the rule and to refer the suppliers to online training materials and instructions. We solicited information from our relevant suppliers of raw materials and components of products, using the standard template managed by Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative ("CFSI") known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT") version 4.2.
- Reviewed the responses that we received and followed up on inconsistent, incomplete, and inaccurate responses, and we sent reminders to suppliers who did not respond to our requests for information.
- Compared smelters or refiners that were identified by our suppliers against the list of facilities, which have received a DRC conflict free designation from the Conflict Free Smelter Program (CFSP) (The complete list can be found in Annex 1), and documented country of origin information as appears in Annex 2.
Currently, we do not have sufficient information from our suppliers to determine the complete list of the country of origin of the conflict minerals used in our products or the facilities used to process those conflict minerals. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country and are not from recycled or scrap sources.
Based on this result, Ormat conducted due diligence activities and described these in this Report.
3. Due Diligence Framework
We designed the due diligence measures to be in conformity, in all material respects, with the internationally recognized due diligence framework as set forth in the OECD (2016) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition, OECD Publishing and the related supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten.
4. Due Diligence Measures
Our due diligence efforts for 2016 included the following steps:
4.1 Establish management and control systems.
- Established a cross- functional conflict minerals steering committee comprised of representatives from procurement and finance departments to direct the overall efforts of the conflict minerals compliance program, with VP finance and accounting as the process owner. Continue to implement our Conflict Minerals Policy with respect to sourcing of minerals from the DRC and its adjoining countries. In an effort to be compliant with the Conflict Minerals Rule, our Policy provides further clarification to the principles of the Code of Conduct and Ormat's Human Rights Approach regarding illegal trade of natural resources and promote the procurement of minerals from credible and conflict-free sources. As part of our Conflict Minerals policy, we strive to ensure that purchased metals originate only from smelters validated as being Conflict Mineral free. In addition, we expect our suppliers to comply with the terms of our Conflict Minerals Policy and encourage them to define, implement and communicate to their sub-suppliers their own policy, outlining their commitment to responsible sourcing of these materials, legal compliance and measures for implementation. The policy is available at: http://www.ormat.com/social-responsibility-andsustainability. Maintained a grievance mechanism, in which concerns and violations of this Policy can be reported to Ormat:
- Online via our website www.ormat.com; or
- By electronic mail to the following address [email protected]
- Strengthened Ormat's engagement with its suppliers by:
- Referring suppliers to training materials which include an overview of the applicable SEC rules and instructions on how to respond to the survey.
- Ormat has incorporated a conflict minerals clause in its master purchasing agreements for all new contracts, requiring our suppliers to cooperate with us and provide us the information required to perform our analysis on conflict minerals. .
- Maintaining record retention for a minimum of five years.
4.2 Identify and assess risks in the supply chain.
To identify risks in our supply chain, we undertook the following measures:
- We assessed two risks in the supply chain: (1) the risk of not receiving on time and accurate information from the supplier; and (2) the risk of not being able to replace a supplier, while trying to move towards the goal of being a conflict free company. We have segmented our suppliers into three risk levels (high, medium and low) by referring to Conflict Minerals-related risks based on suppliers characteristics, such as: the geographical location of the supplier, whether or not the supplier is a SEC registrant, volume of expenditures during 2016 and the extent to which the company is dependent upon any particular supplier or, conversely, the availability of alternative suppliers. This segmentation allowed us to invest our risk mitigation efforts according to the supplier level of risk.
- As part of the risk assessment phase, Ormat decided to focus on the top 90% of the purchasing spend in 2016. We have identified that out of the responses received, 37% of Ormat's relevant suppliers have policy in place which addresses the conflict minerals sourcing, 70% do not provide Ormat with products containing Conflict Minerals.
- Responses received were subject to a "red flag" review. Responses that we identified as incomplete or inconsistent based on the red flag review process were identified for follow up.
- We have identified, to the best of our efforts, the smelters and refiners in the supply chain by conducting a supply chain survey using the CMRT, requesting suppliers to identify smelters and refiners and country of origin of the Conflict Minerals in products supplied to Ormat. In addition, we have compared smelters and refiners identified by the supply chain survey against the list of facilities that have received a "conflict free" designation from the Conflict Free Smelter Program ("CFSP") or other independent third party audit program.
4.3 Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
to address the risks in our supply chain, Ormat maintains a risk mitigation plan, which includes: :
- Ormat expects its suppliers to define, implement and communicate to sub-suppliers their own policy, outlining their commitment to responsible sourcing of these materials, legal compliance and measures for implementation. We also ask suppliers to work with sub-suppliers to ensure traceability of these materials at least to smelter level, e.g. by using the CMRT.
- Ormat's senior management , including the CEO, CFO, EVP Electricity, EVP Products, EVP Business Development and Marketing, EVP Projects, EVP Engineering and EVP Operations, was updated with the risk analysis and risk management actions and outcomes.
- Suppliers who provided incomplete or inconsistent responses were sent a follow- up corrective action letter asking for clarification.
- Suppliers that did not respond to our initial survey request were sent follow up letters requesting that they provide the information requested.
Supply chain due diligence is a dynamic process that requires on-going risk monitoring. In order to ensure effective management of risks, we review the risk identification process and update the risk mitigation strategy accordingly.
4.4 Carry out independent third- party audit of smelter/refiner due diligence practices.
We do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners and therefore do not perform direct audits of these entities. As a result, our due diligence efforts relied on cross- industry initiatives such as those led by the CFSI to conduct smelter and refiner due diligence.
4.5 Report annually on supply chain due diligence.
Our Conflict Minerals Policy states that we will comply with Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act which includes filing Form SD and this Report with the SEC and posting it publicly on the internet. See the following link: http://www.ormat.com/social-responsibility-and-sustainability.
5. Conclusion
We conducted a supply-chain survey of the 124 relevant suppliers that we identified which may contribute necessary conflict minerals to our products. The overall response rate to this survey was approximately 41% compared to 34% last year. The responses included the names and locations of smelters and refiners (see Annex 1) and country of origin see (Annex 2) which process Conflict Minerals.
Of this response rate:
● 70% suppliers were classified as "Free no 3TG"1
1 "Free no 3TG", Suppliers that reported that 3TG minerals are not necessary for the functionality or production of the products provided to Ormat
- 10% suppliers were classified as "Undetermined not from DRC"2
- 20% suppliers were classified as "Undetermined from DRC"3
Our supply chain is complex and there are multiple tiers between the Company and the mine. Accordingly, we rely, to a large extent, on our suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in components which are supplied to us to be included in our products.
Despite receiving responses from suppliers listing smelter or refiner names in their supply, the suppliers were unable to accurately report which specific smelters were part of the supply chain of the components that were sold to Ormat in 2016.
In light of this lack of conclusive information, we are unable to determine and to describe the full list of facilities used to process those necessary conflict minerals or their country of origin. In addition, the information gathered from our suppliers is not on a continuous real-time basis.
Smelters or refiners verified as conflict-free or in the audit process
| Tantalum | 44 of 48 (91.7%) |
|---|---|
| Tin | 74 of 97 (76.3%) |
| Tungsten | 40 of 51 (78.4%) |
| Gold | 101 of 143 (70.6%) |
| Total | 259 of 339 (76.4%) |
2 "Undetermined not from DRC", Suppliers that reported that the 3TG being used in the products supplied to Ormat do not originate from Covered Countries but they have not yet concluded their due diligence process so this determination can potentially change (and our due diligence for these Relevant Suppliers is still ongoing)
3 "Undetermined from DRC", Suppliers that reported that the 3TG being used in the products supplied to Ormat originate from Covered Countries and the smelters are approved by the CFSI program, but they have not yet concluded their due diligence process so this determination can potentially change (and our due diligence for these Relevant Suppliers is still ongoing)
Status of identified smelters and refiners:
| 2016 | |
|---|---|
| Verified Conflict Free | 245 |
| Participating in an audit process | 14 |
| Not Participating | 80 |
| Total | 339 |
6. Steps to be taken to mitigate risk
We intend to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary conflict minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries:
- Ormat will continue working with its global supply chain to ensure responsible sourcing and assure compliance with international regulations
- Strengthening communications with suppliers in order to improve the number of suppliers that respond to the company's supply chain surveys.
