Conflict Minerals Report
For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023
This Conflict Minerals Report (Report) of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (collectively, the Rule) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023 (Reporting Period).
The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products, and the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten, and gold (collectively, Conflict Minerals or 3TG). As described in this Report, Conflict Minerals are necessary for the functionality or production of certain products that IBM manufactures or contracts to manufacture.
Design of IBM’s Responsible Minerals Program
IBM’s Responsible Minerals Program, which includes IBM’s Conflict Minerals Initiative, and Cobalt and Mica Initiative, is run by full-time, experienced supply chain professionals within IBM’s Global Procurement organization. This team reports to IBM’s Vice President and Chief Procurement Officer, who has responsibility for IBM’s external supply base in support of products listed in this report. IBM is highly committed to sourcing 3TG and other minerals responsibly. In support of its established goals, IBM continued work to develop future platforms for mineral traceability due diligence, optimized Responsible Minerals supply chain education and evolved practices through strong collaboration with companies, smelters and refiners, and industry groups.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
IBM conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding 3TG. This inquiry was designed to determine whether any of the 3TG originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, or Angola (collectively Covered Countries), and whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources.
IBM’s Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Design
IBM’s due diligence measures for 3TG conforms in all applicable respects to the framework outlined in 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, including Annex II and the related supplements pertaining to downstream companies (OECD Guidance).
IBM is not a direct purchaser of ore or unrefined minerals; it is several tiers “downstream” from the smelters or refiners (SORs) of such minerals. SORs are at a point in the supply chain where ore, concentrates, and/or scrap material are converted to metal. IBM, like many downstream companies, does not have direct business relationships with SORs or visibility to the extraction and movement of 3TG between SORs and upstream entities. This position increases the difficulty of determining the origin of the 3TG in IBM products and, as a result, IBM relies on established industry processes and information provided by its in-scope direct suppliers.
Description of Due Diligence Measures Performed
IBM upholds a high standard of due diligence to meet legal requirements and internationally accepted standards, with the ultimate goal of establishing and maintaining a responsible supply chain for 3TG. IBM aligns its Responsible Minerals Policy with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs). As a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) our due diligence process utilizes RMI resources including the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP), augmented by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the Responsible Jewellery Council Chain of Custody Standard (RJC CoC), and the Tungsten Industry – Conflict Minerals Council (TI-CMC). The RMAP, LBMA, RJC CoC, and TI-CMC use independent third-party audits to identify SORs that have systems in place to ensure focus minerals are sourced responsibly. RMAP, LBMA, RJC CoC, and TI-CMC are recognized by the industry as third-party validation schemes. Independently, IBM also conducts further due diligence on SORs only processing 3TG recycled scrap as a part of our sustainability commitment.
Below is a description of the due diligence measures performed by IBM for the Reporting Period, based on the OECD Guidance:
1. OECD Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
§ | Positioned the IBM Responsible Minerals team within IBM’s Global Procurement organization to orchestrate the execution of IBM's 3TG Program. |
§ | The IBM Responsible Minerals team reports through IBM’s Chief Procurement Officer and this Report is reviewed by IBM’s Senior Vice President of Infrastructure. During the year, we reported to IBM’s Global Procurement management on topics such as CMRT collection efforts, in-scope supplier progress, SOR risk mitigation, and driving identified SORs toward RMAP, LBMA, RJC CoC, or TI-CMC engagement. |
2
§ | Implemented IBM’s Responsible Minerals Policy to include 3TG from the Covered Countries and CAHRAs. This policy outlines IBM’s dedication to ethical and responsible minerals sourcing due diligence consistent with the OECD Guidance. This policy also emphasizes IBM’s expectations with its hardware suppliers for sourcing minerals ethically and responsibly. Our policy is publicly available and can be found at https://www.ibm.com/procurement/responsibleminerals |
§ | Designated members of the Responsible Minerals team engaged with in-scope suppliers, fostering collaboration, providing invaluable support, and offering expert guidance to facilitate the realization of the objectives outlined within IBM's Responsible Minerals program. |
§ | Utilized a well-established communication portal for both internal and external stakeholders to report concerns about 3TG, directing them to the independent Ombudsman Office of IBM for resolution at: https://www.ibm.com/procurement/ombudsman-information |
§ | Included Responsible Minerals requirements in standard contract templates: All IBM’s hardware suppliers are required to sign a contract agreement to only source minerals responsibly, in alignment with IBM’s Responsible Minerals Policy. |
2. OECD Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
§ | Requested IBM’s in-scope suppliers to survey their upstream suppliers twice per year to identify SORs and related 3TG information through the RMI CMRT. |
§ | Oversaw the aggregation of supplier CMRTs and conducted comprehensive evaluations of the data contained within, aligning with IBM's stringent validation criteria, and adhering to the guidelines outlined by the OECD. |
§ | Utilized curated data from RMI, supplemented by extensive research, to discern the potential provenance of 3TG present in IBM products, particularly scrutinizing any trace of origin from the designated Covered Countries and CAHRAs. |
§ | Validated SORs status to confirm compliance with either RMAP, LBMA, RJC CoC, and/or TI-CMC standards. |
§ | In situations when a nonconformant SOR was identified, the Responsible Minerals team collaborated and supported firms across multiple layers of the supply chain to trace and transition from use of the SOR. |
§ | Deployed a third-party analytics tool to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of specific SORs for ownership risk. |
3. OECD Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
§ | IBM requested suppliers to promptly transition away from SORs that had not been validated as conformant or active by a recognized third-party assessment scheme. |
§ | Extended Responsible Minerals support beyond first-tier suppliers. We continued one-on-one training and joint outreach for new suppliers or personnel. |
§ | Participated in the annual Responsible Minerals Initiative conference and forged strategic alliances with industry peers across the supply chain spectrum and relevant industry consortiums, harnessing efforts toward the establishment of an ethical and conscientious minerals-sourcing supply chain. |
§ | Remained at the vanguard of macro-level Conflict Minerals discourse and advancements by actively engaging in the RMI, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of pertinent issues and evolving trends in the field. |
3
§ | Implemented a strategic shift away from non-participatory or non-compliant SORs, redirecting focus towards those aligned with accredited schemes such as RMAP, LBMA, RJC, and/or TI-CMC, thereby ensuring adherence to stringent regulatory standards and industry best practices. |
4. OECD Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices
§ | Contributed to the advancement of RMI endeavors by actively engaging in collaborative RMI workgroups, thereby fostering synergy and innovation in the pursuit of responsible mineral-sourcing practices. |
§ | Since its inception, supported RMI’s RMAP accreditation of SORs engaged in Responsible Minerals to build a global network of validated sources of material meeting the needs of IBM’s Responsible Minerals Policy. With the backing of over 500 members in RMI, the network of accredited SORs has grown considerably allowing for downstream companies to utilize greater percentages of third-party verified 3TG. |
§ | Served as the exclusive liaison for designated SORs lacking accredited status, collaborating closely with RMI's smelter engagement teams to facilitate and advocate for their integration into third-party validation schemes such as RMAP and others. |
§ | Participated in teleconferences with SORs to discuss matters regarding RMAP, such as understanding the dynamics of the SORs and downstream users of 3TG, SOR participation in the program, and retention of SORs in the program. |
§ | Engaged in collaborative partnerships with metal organizations to explore the prospective expansion of third-party audit frameworks, fostering enhanced accountability and transparency within the responsible minerals and smelting sector. |
Delved into and advocated for expanded cross-recognition audit initiatives within the RMAP, thereby providing SORs with a broader array of audit program options compliant with both US and EU regulatory frameworks. |
5. OECD Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
§ | According to the Rule, annually file Form SD and Exhibit 1.01 (Conflict Minerals Report). |
§ | Published the 2022 Conflict Minerals Report on IBM’s Responsible Minerals website https://www.ibm.com/procurement/responsibleminerals |
§ | Incorporated updates on the advancements made in Responsible Minerals management within IBM's annual Impact Report, exemplifying our steadfast commitment to transparency and accountability in responsible minerals and smelting practices. |
§ | Retained records related to 3TG in conformance with IBM’s records retention policy. |
Reporting Period Determination and Findings
Based on the information obtained through the due diligence process described herein, IBM believes SORs that may be used to process the 3TG contained in IBM products are listed in Appendix A. The list identifies SORs present at year-end 2023. Further, as listed in Appendix B, IBM has reasonably determined the potential countries of origin of the 3TG in IBM products.
The following chart illustrates the composition of 245 3TG SORs in IBM’s supply chain that (as of December 31) were conformant or actively participating in a third-party scheme or were processing 100 percent recycled scrap.
4
IBM’s progress in this area since 2016 is illustrated below and reflects that, at year-end 2023, 100 percent of 3TG SORs reported in the IBM supply chain are pursuing or are accredited as conformant to a recognized third-party validation scheme (or operating as refiners of 100 percent recycled 3TG). This is the fifth consecutive year of IBM’s supply chain achieving this level of performance.
From 2016 onward, SORs that were active in a recognized third-party validation scheme in addition to RMAP (LBMA, RJC, and/or TI-CMC) were added to the conformant category. In 2019 and beyond, IBM included in the conformant category SORs that do not seek third-party validation but are determined to operate solely from recycled or scrap sources – which the Rule designates as Conflict-Free.
IBM Requirement for Suppliers to be Conflict-Free
During 2023, IBM continued its initiative to have all in-scope direct suppliers achieve a conformant supply chain as defined by its Responsible Minerals Policy. In-scope direct suppliers with CMRTs containing SORs that are not progressing toward, or have not already received conflict-free accreditation, are required to transition those SORs from products provided to IBM. The IBM Responsible Minerals team and the Global Procurement organization work with those suppliers to help them achieve this goal. Their progress is tracked and reported to IBM Global Procurement executives monthly along with IBM’s progress toward attaining 100 percent conformant status. IBM has received CMRTs from 100 percent of our in-scope suppliers, containing over 99.8 percent reporting of the extended supply chain.
5
IBM’s Next Steps to Mitigate Conflict Minerals Risk
IBM expects to take the following steps to enhance its due diligence measures and to continue mitigating the risk that the 3TG contained in IBM products finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
§ | Participating in the RMI contributes to the continued development of collaborative tools and resources for companies to assess their supply chains and avoid the inclusion of non-validated Conflict Minerals 3TG in the extended supply chain. |
§ | Remain aware of developments in 3TG due diligence processes by participation in the RMI and apply that knowledge to IBM’s 3TG risk assessment and mitigation actions. |
§ | As an ardent supporter of Environmental and Social stewardship, IBM continues to grow usage of 3TG SORs processing 100 percent recycled scrap. |
§ | Work with RMI members and IBM in-scope suppliers to gain SOR’s commitment for their continued engagement with an RMAP assessment or another recognized validation scheme. |
§ | Pursue resolution in 2024 for any identified SORs in IBM’s supply chain that are not validated as conformant to one of the recognized assessment schemes. |
§ | Improve in-scope direct suppliers’ CMRT upstream supplier completeness; provide collaboration from IBM and other upstream suppliers to attain 100 percent upstream coverage. |
§ | Drive in-scope direct suppliers to provide product-specific CMRTs versus company-level CMRTs, as company-level CMRTs may include SORs not used in the supply chain for IBM products; use of product-specific CMRTs by in-scope direct suppliers enables IBM to have a more precise list of SORs used in IBM products. |
§ | Engage IBM Hardware Development and Global Procurement on future products to ascertain the conformant status of SORs to be used by the proposed in-scope direct suppliers. Eliminate the use of nonconformant SORs before introducing the product to the marketplace. |
IBM’s Support of the RMI
As outlined in the OECD Guidance, the internationally recognized standard on which IBM’s due diligence is based, IBM supports an industry initiative that audits the due diligence activities of SORs. That industry initiative is the RMI’s RMAP. The potential countries of origin found in Appendix B, and upon which IBM relied for certain statements in this Report, were obtained through RMI and other accreditation source data. IBM is an active contributor to the RMI through our participation in various working groups. IBM’s member ID is MIBM.

RCOI: Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry. Data provided in aggregated fashion by the third parties noted.
* In 2022, IBM carried out an orderly wind-down of its business in Russia. During 2023, RMI and other accreditation source data continued identifying the Russian Federation as a country of origin for 3TG. IBM has no affirmative knowledge that minerals from this country are incorporated into finished products furnished to IBM. To the extent that minerals from this country were used, they would have been substantially transformed outside of the United States in a third country by a non-U.S. person before being incorporated into production of certain products that IBM manufactures or contracts to manufacture.
