Section 1Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
This Form SD of Pentair plc
(the Company) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the Rule) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
A copy of the Companys Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD, and is publicly available at
http://www.pentair.com/~/media/Files/PentairConflictsMineralReport.pdf.
The Rule imposes reporting obligations on Securities and Exchange Commission
registrants whose manufactured products contain certain minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. If a registrant determines that any columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite or their
derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the Subject Minerals), are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by the registrant or contracted by the registrant to be manufactured, the
registrant must conduct in good faith a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) regarding those Subject Minerals that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Subject Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo or an adjoining country (the Covered Countries) or are from recycled or scrap sources.
The Company performed a RCOI, in which it
surveyed over 6,300 direct suppliers, spanning over 53 enterprise resource planning systems, regarding whether its necessary Subject Minerals have been sourced from any of the Covered Countries. Most of the responses the Company received indicated
that either (1) to the best of such suppliers knowledge, the Subject Minerals in the components and materials that it supplied to the Company during 2015 did not originate from a Covered Country or (2) such supplier did not use Subject
Minerals in the materials and components that it supplied to the Company during 2015. Further information regarding the Companys RCOI is included in Section 2.2 of the Companys Conflict Minerals Report, which is attached to this
specialized disclosure report on Form SD as Exhibit 1.01. The disclosure set forth in Section 2.2 of the Conflict Minerals Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
After reviewing the results of the RCOI, the Company could not conclusively determine that it had no reason to believe that, during 2015, Subject Minerals
necessary for the functionality or production of its products may have originated from a Covered Country and may not be from recycled or scrap sources. The Company conducted its RCOI in good faith, and it believes that such inquiry was
reasonable to allow it to make the determination. Accordingly, the Company proceeded to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Subject Minerals in accordance with the framework contained in the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten. The
Conflict Minerals Report filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this report includes a discussion of the due diligence procedures performed, the ultimate determination of origin and conflict status reached and other disclosures required by the Rule.
Item 1.02 Exhibit
As specified in Section 2, Item 2.01
of this Form SD, the Company is hereby filing its Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this report.
