We also offer managed services, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), technical support services, licensed hardware technology, and consulting services.
Supply Chain Overview
Our supply chain is complex. We do not directly source conflict minerals from smelters, refiners, or mines. We do not have direct knowledge to determine our conflict minerals country of origin, chain of custody, or whether or not these conflict minerals have directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries. There are multiple tiers between our company and the mines. Accordingly, we rely on our direct suppliers to determine the origin of the conflict minerals contained in our products.
Due Diligence Process Update
In conducting our due diligence, Itron utilizes the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD 2016) (OECD Framework), an internationally recognized due diligence framework. Our due diligence process requires all supplier agreements include conflict mineral language in the Terms of Contract (TOC) and Supplier Code of Conduct (SCC). This includes our expectation that suppliers source conflict minerals from certified conflict-free smelters. We request all new suppliers sign our standard TOC and SCC to confirm their understanding of our expectations.
At our customers' request, we will also conduct assessments with individual suppliers to determine that they comply with our TOC and SCC. In addition, we will continue to monitor the on-going development of industry practices related to the tracing and tracking of minerals and thus improve the transparency in our supply chain.
