CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE AND REPORT

REASONABLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INQUIRY

Determinations made.

Baker Hughes Company (“Baker Hughes,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”), a Delaware corporation, determined that in calendar year 2023, we obtained conflict minerals necessary for the production of certain products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured for sale by the Company.

Description of inquiry.

The Company’s inquiry is described in this Specialized Disclosure Report, which includes our Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) attached to this Form SD as Exhibit 1.01.

Additional information on the Company’s conflict minerals compliance program can be found at the following web page: https://www.bakerhughes.com/conflict-minerals

Results of inquiry

As a result of better utilization of preferred suppliers and detailed evaluation of product-level spend information, in 2023 the Company decreased the number of suppliers we identified as possibly using conflict minerals in products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured for the Company. This focused approach resulted in better targeted communication and improved supplier response rate. We received information regarding conflict minerals in our supply chain from 596 relevant suppliers. Approximately 57% of the suppliers reported that they did not use conflict minerals in their products provided to the Company. Approximately 34% of the responding suppliers furnished relevant materials to the Company originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (collectively, “DRC Region”). Approximately 9% of the responding suppliers furnished relevant materials to the Company that originated either outside of the DRC Region or from recycled or scrap sources. As a result of sanctions in Russia, certain Russian smelters are now deemed to be high-risk, and that resulted in an increase in the number of high-risk smelters compared to 2022. However, as a result of sourcing from our preferred suppliers, a detailed evaluation of product-level spend information and an increased number of product level reports from the suppliers, the Company was able to decrease the use of high-risk suppliers from 157 to 96 year-over-year. A table listing all originating countries and recycled or scrap sources for each Conflict Mineral is set forth as Paragraph 6 of the Report.

Exhibit 1.01

Conflict Minerals Report

Overview

This Report has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”), for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2023. The Company is an energy technology company that provides solutions for energy and industrial customers worldwide.

The Company’s supply chain is both global and complex, and there are multiple tiers of suppliers between the Company and the original sources of minerals used in the Company’s products. Therefore, the Company relied on its direct suppliers to provide information about the origin of conflict minerals in the raw materials and components it purchased for use in the manufacture of, or contracts to manufacture, products that the Company offers for sale.

The Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (each a “forward-looking statement”). The words “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “estimate,” “project,” “foresee,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “would,” “may,” “probable,” “likely,” “seek,” “overestimate,” “underestimate,” “continue,” “target,” “goal,” or other similar words or expressions, and the negative thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings available through the Company’s website at: https://investors.bakerhughes.com/ or through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system at: www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

In accordance with Rule 13p-1, the Company undertook a reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine the origin of the conflict minerals necessary to the production or functionality of the products the Company offered for sale during the reporting period. The Company undertook the following as part of that inquiry:

•

utilized the Company’s existing mechanisms for reporting conflict minerals concerns, allowing contact by email and an online tool for both the public and internal reporters;

•

identified those products we manufactured or contracted to manufacture that we reasonably believed contained one or more conflict minerals (defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold collectively, the “Conflict Minerals” or sometimes “conflict minerals” or “3TGs” as defined in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Third Edition) – “OECD Guidance”), by eliminating those product categories that were not subject to Rule 13p-1, including tool rentals, tools used in performance of our services, chemicals, and fluids;

•

identified direct suppliers – those providing materials and components incorporated in the manufacturing process – of the pertinent products identified in the step above;

•

using lessons learned during previous reporting periods, we prioritized our diligence efforts to identify higher risk suppliers potentially providing relevant raw materials or components by eliminating suppliers of material categories not likely to contain 3TGs, including sand, cement, and polymers;

•

further enhanced our diligence efforts by reaching out directly to non-responding suppliers, involving internal stakeholders more in the communication to meaningfully engage with suppliers;

•

identified 859 suppliers that provided the materials or components specifically identified as higher risk or prioritized in the previous steps;

•

engaged the services of a third-party conflict minerals service provider to create and maintain a supplier engagement portal;

•

contacted the identified suppliers via the third-party conflict minerals service provider’s technology platform;

•

informed relevant suppliers of the Company’s expectations regarding compliance with the Company’s supplier conflict minerals policy and due diligence processes, as well as responses to the Company’s requests for information;

•

requested confirmation from these suppliers of the presence of any conflict mineral in the raw materials or components they supplied to the Company, and information regarding the origin of those minerals;

•

requested these suppliers to in turn require their downstream suppliers that provided them with materials or components utilized in the manufacture of our products to comply with the Company’s conflict minerals requirements;

•

requested these suppliers to develop a policy and management system covering conflict minerals and to require their downstream suppliers to adopt similar policies and systems;

•

informed these suppliers of the informational and instructional materials available on our third-party conflict minerals service provider’s Conflict Minerals Resource Center web page, the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) questionnaire, and due diligence guidelines;

•

established a deadline of April 30, 2024, to provide the requested conflict minerals information and documentation;

•

engaged the Company’s third-party service provider to follow up with unresponsive suppliers with up to three email messages, a telephone campaign and directly contacting individuals known to the Company’s Sourcing team at each such supplier;

•

reviewed the responses compiled for each responding supplier to determine the existence of a conflict minerals policy, due diligence process, and pass-through requirements for successive supplier tiers;

•

reviewed the responses compiled for each responding supplier to determine which smelters or refiners (“SORs”) were the source of necessary conflict minerals contained in the raw materials or components supplied to the Company;

•

received completed questionnaires from 584 of the identified suppliers contacted by our third-party conflict minerals service provider; and

•

identified 38 SORs that pose a high risk of obtaining 3TGs from non-conflict free sources, and determined that only twelve of these 38 are obtaining 3TGs from non-conflict free sources in the DRC Region.

The Company’s responding relevant suppliers identified 354 verified SORs believed to be the source of necessary conflict minerals contained in the raw materials or components supplied to the Company. Of those supplier-identified SORs, 77 were identified as sourcing from mines in the DRC Region; 65 of those SORs in turn reported their source of minerals were conflict-free. Additionally, 120 SORs were identified as noncompliant with or not enrolled in a verification program; of the unenrolled SORs, 1 was undergoing review, was being vetted by a verification process, or was in communication with a verification entity, and 71 were awaiting outreach by a verification entity.

The due diligence undertaken is more fully described below.

3. Design of Due Diligence

The Company’s due diligence was designed in conformance with an internationally recognized due diligence framework: the OECD Guidance. OECD Step 1 is discussed above, under the heading “Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry” and Steps 2 – 5 are described below in the subheadings under “Due Diligence Measures Performed.”

Due Diligence Measures Performed

4.1 Establish Strong Company Management Systems

•

issued and disclosed our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement on our public website available here https://www.bakerhughes.com/conflict-minerals;

•

integrated conflict minerals reporting requirements in our suppliers’ contractual obligations through our Baker Hughes Standard Terms;

•

reported due diligence metrics and campaign status monthly to Vice President; 859 suppliers included in campaign, 596 CMRTs submitted in response to the campaign;

•

communicated supplier conflict minerals compliance and response metrics to cross-functional business reviews;

•

utilized third-party provider’s platform to provide online and webinar training opportunities to suppliers;

•

communicated both within the Company and externally to our suppliers that the Company’s confidential reporting process for potential compliance cases is available via online tool, e-mail and telephone;

•

actively participated in Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) working groups for better visibility on regulatory requirements and to align with industry best practice.

4.2 Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

The Company’s third-party service provider determined that approximately 63 of the identified SORs in our global supply chain potentially required additional due diligence on their source and chain of custody of conflict minerals provided to the Company based upon the applicability of one or more of the following criteria:

•

reported sourcing conflict minerals from the conflict area that were not verified as conflict-free;

•

provided data on SORs that self-report sourcing from a mine located in the conflict area;

•

provided data on SORs that were reported by independent entities to source from a mine located in the conflict area;

•

indicated that the SOR named by the supplier was located in the conflict area;

•

indicated that the SOR named by the supplier passed materials through a known or suspected country for smuggling, export out of other countries, or the transit of materials containing conflict minerals; or

•

provided information about an SOR indicating the origin of the materials was not from a country known to hold reserves.

4.3 Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

The Company’s third-party service provider undertook the following measures during due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals:

•

the Company’s third-party service provider independently verified all SOR information submitted by suppliers in their CMRTs, checking against the third-party conflict minerals service provider’s independent smelter research, including:

•

merged duplicate submissions following verification of overlapping company information;

•

eliminated submissions with garbage characters and obvious misspellings;

•

validated named entities as actual SORs; and

•

confirmed that each facility is a legitimate SOR of 3TGs;

•

gathered information on legitimate SORs from SOR databases of several sources including, without limitation, the third-party service provider’s independent research, Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”), the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (“DMCC”), the Responsible Jewellery Council (“RJC”), the US Department of Commerce (“DoC”), and the US Geological Survey (“USGS”) (the “Third-Party Databases”);

•

if a supplier did not provide a proper identification number issued by a validating entity, such as RMI or LBMA, we requested the supplier to provide the following information:

•

the metal processed by the facility;

•

the city, province/state and country where the facility is located;

•

the name and email address for the designated contact at the facility;

•

the recycled and scrap status of metals, minerals or ores processed by the facility;

•

if the facility sources all of its metals, minerals or ores solely from recycled or scrap materials, the country of origin f those materials; and

•

if the facility does not source all materials solely from recycled or scrap providers, the location of mines from which the facility sources its metals, minerals or ores;

•

labeled as “Valid” those SOR submissions from suppliers that matched the Third-Party Databases of legitimate SORs and performed additional verification:

•

inquired whether the SOR has been audited by any recognized certification entities, such as RMI, LBMA, DMCC, or RJC and, if not, whether they underwent or plan to undergo another form of an independent audit; and

•

those SORs that have not undergone a certification audit were asked if they plan to undertake a certification process in the future;

•

labeled as “Invalid” those SORs submitted by a supplier that matched the Third-Party Databases list of facilities known not to be a legitimate facility, or a common erroneous or inoperative name;

•

labeled as “Undetermined” those SORs submitted by a supplier that did not match either the legitimate or non-legitimate lists in the Third-Party Databases;

•

identified suppliers that submitted SOR names determined to be Invalid or Undetermined for future contact to correct or amend the pertinent information;

•

for each Valid SOR, the Company’s third-party service provider assigned a risk rating of low, medium or high, based on the following factors:

•

whether the facility has or has not already successfully undergone a certification audit by a recognized entity;

•

whether the facility is registered with a certification body and, if so, is progressing toward completing an audit process by that body;

•

whether the facility is proximate to, conducts conflict mineral transactions with entities within, or transports materials through any of the following:

•

a Level 1 country, with known active ore production and not identified as either conflict regions or plausible countries engaged in smuggling materials containing conflict minerals;

•

a Level 2 country, known to or plausibly believed to be engaged in smuggling, export out of a Level 3 country, or as a transit for materials containing conflict minerals; or

•

a Level 3 country, the DRC or one of its nine adjoining countries, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia, collectively referred to as “covered countries” in Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act;

•

for each supplier, calculated a cumulative SOR risk, either low, medium, or high, summarizing the risk that the supplier poses to the Company’s supply chain, based on the chances that the supplier furnishes 3TGs that may originate from non-conflict-free sources:

•

obtained the value of the cumulative SOR risk for each supplier by collecting the risk ratings of all SORs associated with the supplier; and

•

for each supplier, assigned the overall risk rating equal to the risk rating level with the most SORs at that level; and

•

joined third-party smelter outreach program to increase number of conformant SORs and further mitigate risk.

4.4 Carry out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter and Refiner Due Diligence Practices

•

As a downstream participant in the supply chain and, being a member of the RMI, we utilized the RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) and the RMAP Cross-Recognition Program and a third-party to verify certain information gathered from our suppliers.

4.5 Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

•

The Company annually reports on our global supply chain due diligence and makes the current and historical reports available with Baker Hughes Policy Statement and any other supporting documentation on our public website: https://www.bakerhughes.com/conflict-minerals.

Results of Due Diligence Undertaken and Processing Facilities

Based on the Company’s due diligence efforts to date, the Company does not have sufficient information to fully determine the country of origin of the conflict minerals in each of our relevant products, or whether the conflict minerals in each of our products were from recycled or scrap sources. Paragraph 6 below lists the countries of origin, by pertinent mineral, for which the Company has been able to confirm the information provided by our suppliers.

Based on the Company’s due diligence efforts to date, the Company does not have sufficient information to fully determine each processing facility utilized to produce the conflict minerals used in each of the Company’s relevant products. Schedule 1 below lists the processing facilities that source minerals from the DRC for which the Company has been able to confirm the information provided by our suppliers.

The efforts to determine the origin of conflict minerals are more fully described in the section entitled “Due Diligence Measures Undertaken.”

2023 results

The graphs bellow show the number of SORs in our supply chain that have participated industry recognized audit program – RMAP – (Conformant), committed to undergo RMAP assessment (Active) and are not participating RMAP audit program or cross-recognized LMBS or RJC audit protocol (Not Active).

Risk Mitigation

With respect to those products the Company manufactures or contracts to be manufactured for sale that contain necessary conflict minerals, the Company plans to undertake the following steps to mitigate the risk that our necessary conflict minerals could unintentionally benefit armed groups:

•

continue to consolidate the supplier base to fewer suppliers, aiming to decrease the number of suppliers who pose a high risk of using conflict minerals or are located in high-risk regions;

•

include Conflict Minerals in the supplier overall assessment conducted by Supplier Performance Management teams, in addition to human rights and sustainability considerations, and proactively engage suppliers to prevent and mitigate risks;

•

improve processes to identify the presence of necessary conflict minerals in products we manufacture or contract to be manufactured and offer for sale by:

•

continuing communication with suppliers and internal stakeholders and spreading best practices learned during the execution of the 3TG due diligence process in 2023 and continuing to raise overall awareness within our supply chain;

•

continuing the identification of and communication with smelters and refiners in Baker Hughes’ supply chain, both directly and indirectly through Backer Hughes’ relevant suppliers, in order to continue to encourage the smelters and refiners to participate in RMI’s RMAP;

•

continuing to participate in industry initiatives encouraging responsible supply chains; and

•

as new relevant suppliers are added to the Baker Hughes’ supply chain, working with these suppliers to help ensure that they understand our compliance requirements, the requirements of the Conflict Minerals Rule and the OECD Guidance;

•

continue to assess the presence of necessary conflict minerals in our relevant supply chain;

•

continue to perform due diligence on the necessary conflict minerals supplied to us to determine their origin;

•

continue to clearly communicate to suppliers our expectations with regard to compliance with the Company’s stated policies, performance, transparency and responsible sourcing practices;

•

engage with suppliers identified as sourcing from high-risk SORs, including those not enrolled in or compliant with a verification program, to encourage them to source from conflict-free SORs or mines and obtain from their applicable SORs or mines conflict-free designations from recognized certification programs;

•

continue to engage with suppliers that did not respond to our request for conflict minerals information for the reporting period 2023, ultimately seeking to engage as many of those suppliers as possible during the reporting year 2024 engage with all high cumulative risk suppliers to further their understanding of their risk level and the future implications their risk level could have under the Company’s conflict minerals program and request that:

•

suppliers potentially sourcing from high-risk and non-conflict-free SORs verify actual relevant mineral sources;

•

suppliers actually sourcing from high-risk and non-conflict-free SORs work toward sourcing from alternative sources;

•

suppliers with weak conflict minerals programs utilize and review the provided information, education and training to strengthen their programs; and

•

suppliers failing to respond to multiple past conflict minerals information requests prioritize understanding of and compliance with our due diligence program requirements;

•

conduct analysis and verification of origin information provided by our suppliers;

•

monitor the activities, initiatives and programs of DRC regional governments and agencies, international bodies, and non-governmental organizations that are aimed at minimizing or eliminating the benefit to relevant armed groups derived from conflict minerals, and, where practicable, to support or implement those activities, initiatives or programs; and

•

seek, where practicable, alternative suppliers that responsibly source necessary conflict minerals, which may include sources within the conflict area that do not benefit armed groups.
