Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Overview
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “its,” “us” and “our” refer to HollyFrontier Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our Conflict Minerals Policy
We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen. To this end, we have adopted a company policy for the supply chain of Conflict Minerals (the “Conflict Minerals Policy”). The Conflict Minerals Policy has been communicated to our relevant suppliers and posted on our website. As used herein and in the Conflict Minerals Policy, “Conflict Minerals” are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite and the derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten, without regard to the location of origin. The Conflict Minerals Policy includes, but is not limited to, our expectations that our suppliers:
| |
1. | Implement and communicate to their personnel and suppliers a Conflict Minerals policy that is consistent with our Conflict Minerals Policy; |
| |
2. | Put in place procedures for the traceability of Conflict Minerals; |
| |
3. | Where possible, source Conflict Minerals from smelters and refiners that are validated as being conflict free; |
| |
4. | Provide us with written certifications and other information concerning the origin of the Conflict Minerals supplied to us and the supplier’s compliance with our Conflict Minerals Policy generally; |
| |
5. | Establish policies, due diligence frameworks and management systems that are consistent with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas; and |
| |
6. | Require their suppliers to adopt policies and procedures that are consistent with those contained in our Conflict Minerals Policy. |
Potential Applicability of the Conflict Minerals Rule to Our Company
We are principally an independent petroleum refiner that produces high-value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products and specialty and modified asphalt. Given the nature of our products, our in-scope usage of Conflict Minerals is de minimis relative to our total materials content. However, some of the products that we manufacture, including gasoline and diesel fuel, may contain trace amounts of catalyst residue that contain tin and/or tungsten. Based on the information provided by our suppliers and known to us, for 2013, we do not believe that any of our potentially in-scope products contained tantalum or gold.
We do not specify the use of Conflict Minerals in the catalysts that we purchase and believe that we are many levels removed from the mines and smelters that produce the Conflict Minerals contained in our catalysts. We therefore have limited influence over these upstream actors. Furthermore, because
of competitive factors affecting our supplier base, we have significant difficulty identifying actors upstream from our direct suppliers. However, through the efforts described in this Form SD and the Conflict Minerals Report included as an exhibit hereto, we seek to ensure that our sourcing practices are consistent with our Conflict Minerals Policy and to encourage conflict free sourcing in our supply chain.
