•	Strengthened our Supplier Ethics Statement, maintained on our external website at http://www.halliburton.com/en-US/about-us/supplier-relations/Policies-and-Procedures.page?node-id=hp11nobm, to reflect our commitment and expectation of supplier commitment to ethical business behavior, conflict-free sourcing, and human rights. Suppliers were notified via our RCOI email;

•	Updated our Human Rights Statement, also maintained on our external website at http://www.halliburton.com/en-US/about-us/corporate-governance/halliburton-human-rights.page?node-id=hgeyxt6w&SRC=Footer, to better reflect our long-standing commitment to uphold human rights as defined by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR);

•	Continued to require conflict-free materials and products from suppliers as outlined in our Master Purchase Agreement (MPA) and standard Purchase Order Terms & Conditions templates. Additionally, suppliers and their business partners are now also contractually bound to protect and uphold the fundamental human rights of their employees as stated in the UDHR;

•	Updated our internal Conflict-Free Sourcing Policy to align our conflict minerals program description with the 5-step OECD Framework to ensure our employees are clearly aware of their responsibilities under the act to use suppliers who do not source 3TG from uncertified SORs;

•	Enhanced supplier selection process by expanding our criteria to include additional sales order types;

•	Operated a cross-functional internal team among the Procurement, Material Management, Finance, Information Technology, and Law departments led by our Procurement, Materials & Logistics (PM&L) Risk Management & Reporting Group;

•	Retained a third-party service provider to query our applicable suppliers using the CMRT;

•	Established a system of controls and transparency by developing a due diligence process using the CMRT, including evaluating and scoring the risk presented by each smelter, refiner, and respondent (supplier providing a CMRT) based on the SORs indicated and due diligence program described;

•	Contracted for a platform to upload 2017 supplier information. The platform tracked supplier responses on a real-time basis and allowed us to leverage better data reporting and to take action for non-responsive suppliers;

•	Stored relevant records in an electronic database on a SharePoint site;

•	Granted all in-scope suppliers a free membership with access to training and information on conflict minerals provided by our third-party service provider;

•	Educated suppliers upon request on Dodd-Frank Action Section 1502, how the Conflict Mineral Rule applies to them and why it is important to respond to our RCOI. Also, provided resources in addition to those from our third-party service provider;

•	Developed two short training videos providing a general overview of the Dodd-Frank Act Section 1502 and its requirements for employees to use as a quick reference and continued to provide Supply Chain employees access to the RMI eLearning Academy “Conflict Minerals” course; and

•

Continued to make our Ethics Helpline available for suppliers to report any violations of the law or violations of our Code of Business Conduct. The RMI also established a grievance mechanism which its members, stakeholders, and the public can utilize to raise concerns about the initiative, the audit program, protocols, SOR operations that fall in-scope of the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP), formerly the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP), audit quality and auditor competencies, minerals supply chains and upstream/downstream initiatives.

•	Identified tier one suppliers that supply products to Halliburton which may contain 3TG, which were selected in good faith based on the following criteria:

◦	Products supplied to Halliburton plants within the Reporting Period;

◦	Harmonized Tariff Codes and Material Groups of supplied products that may contain metal;

◦	Product sales from Halliburton procurement plants to third party customers; and

◦	Halliburton newly acquired manufacturers with the reporting obligations pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

•	Conducted a survey using the CMRT and our third-party platform, which included a phone number and email address for suppliers and internal stakeholders to correspond;

•	Created a product list for distributors to work with second-tier suppliers and asked distributors for a product-level CMRT, including directly interacting with second-tier suppliers requesting their responses;

•	Implemented deadlines for suppliers’ CMRT submissions, including requiring our tier one suppliers to provide an updated CMRT if additional information became available;

•	Followed up with non-responsive suppliers requesting their responses, through phone calls and emails, including up to six email reminders and two phone call reminders from our third-party service provider;

•	Initiated an escalation process which consisted of direct outreach by Halliburton to non-responsive tier one suppliers requesting their participation in the program;

•	Evaluated supplier CMRT responses for plausibility, consistency, and gaps. Contacted suppliers on a bi-weekly basis as needed to address questions. Reached out up to three times to engage supplier to answer questions;

•	Compared the SORs identified by the supply chain with the following internationally accepted audit standards to determine which SORs are considered “DRC Conflict-Free”: the RMAP, the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC); and,

•	As a member of the RMI (Halliburton member code HALL), we:

◦	support engagement by the RMI with SOR(s) and the obtainment of information on country of origin and transit and transportation routes used between mine and SORs;

◦	support the RMI RMAP, which includes an assessment of whether SORs have carried out all five steps of due diligence for responsible supply chains of 3TG from the DRC and adjoining countries; and

◦	support spot checks and/or audits at SOR facilities.

•	Adopted a risk management plan to review due diligence of suppliers and SORs;

•	Removed 187 suppliers from our supply chain for not complying with our conflict mineral requirements;

•	Performed risk mitigation efforts by following up with tier one suppliers for validation and additional information and encouraged all smelters without RMAP “Compliant” status to participate in an independent third-party audit program;

•	Sent “thank you” emails to smelters with RMAP “Compliant” status for being certified as conflict-free;

•	Responded to supplier and customer inquiries in a timely manner by both Halliburton and our third-party service provider;

•	Provided findings and progress reports periodically to senior management, including the senior director of PM&L Governance, Risk & Compliance and the senior manager of Risk Management & Reporting;

---

•	Attended webinars and reviewed online resources to learn and understand new developments and best practices;

•	Contracted third-party to perform due diligence on CMRTs received. Third-party service provider investigated the source and chain of custody of the regulated metals. If the SOR was not certified through the RMAP, the LBMA, or the RJC, the third-party service provider:

◦	Attempted to contact the SOR to gain more information about their sourcing practices, including countries of origin and transfer, and whether there were any internal due diligence procedures in place or other processes the SORs took to track the chain of custody on the source of its mineral ores;

◦	Reviewed whether the SOR had a documented, effective and communicated conflict-free policy, an accounting system to support a mass balance of materials processed, and traceability documentation; and

◦	Researched to determine whether there were publicly available sources regarding the SORs sourcing practices to validate provided information.

•	As a member of the RMI and through our financial support by joining, we:

◦	exercise leverage over upstream suppliers indirectly by requiring SORs to undergo an independent third-party audit, which requires due diligence, traceability, chain of custody, risk assessment, and mitigation activities upstream;

◦	support the RMI’s efforts to monitor whether SOR(s) demonstrate significant and measurable improvement within a reasonable time frame from the adoption of their risk management plans; and

◦	support the RMI’s independent third party audits of the SOR’s due diligence practices through the RMAP.

•	Reviewed meeting notes from the RMI Smelter Engagement Team (SET) and Due Diligence Team.

•	According to the RMI database, one of the two uncertified smelters temporarily ceased operations in April 2017. We will continue to monitor operational status and take action if smelter resumes operations.

•

We outreached the second uncertified smelter via email urging them to become conflict-free certified. Additionally, we are also working with our suppliers who listed the uncertified smelter in their CMRT to determine if the smelter was used in our products since CMRTs were not returned at the product-level. Action plans will be implemented to remove the smelter, if applicable. Any supplier who does not comply with our expectations is subject to termination.

•	253 SORs (79%) have received compliant status; meaning audited and found compliant with the relevant RMAP protocol;

◦	58 out of 253 SORs were identified to source 3TG from the DRC or adjoining countries, all of them found to be conflict-free certified.

•	57 SORs (18%) have not received compliant or active status, the RMI status for these will be noted as “Other” in Annex I;

◦	37 out of 57 SORs were identified not to source 3TG from the DRC or adjoining countries;

◦	2 out of 57 SORs were identified to source 3TG from the DRC or adjoining countries; and

•	Note: As previously mentioned, one of these smelters ceased operations in April 2017.

◦	18 out of 57 SORs were unidentifiable to source 3TG from the DRC or adjoining countries.
