Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Harvard Bioscience, Inc. (“Harvard Bioscience”) has evaluated its current product lines and has determined in good faith that during 2015 it manufactured or contracted to manufacture products as to which columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite and their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (herein referred to as “Conflict Minerals”)) are necessary to the functionality or production of such products (herein referred to as “Covered Products”). Based on such determination, Harvard Bioscience conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry, or RCOI, that was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia or Angola); or were from recycled or scrap sources.
Following the RCOI, Harvard Bioscience exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its applicable products. Information on the RCOI, steps we have taken to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of any Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products and the results of this due diligence, are disclosed in the Conflict Minerals Report filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.

Exhibit 1.01
Harvard Bioscience, Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2015
This report for the year ended December 31, 2015 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”). The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict Minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“Conflict Minerals”) for the purposes of this report. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.
As described in this report, Harvard Bioscience, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein referred to as “Harvard Bioscience” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) has reason to believe that some of the Conflict Minerals present in its supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries. For purposes of this report, Covered Countries refers to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or any country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We are unable with absolute assurance to determine the origin of the Conflict Minerals in our products and therefore cannot exclude the possibility that some may have originated in the Covered Countries.
1. Company Overview
This report has been prepared by management of Harvard Bioscience. The information includes the activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries, except for subsidiaries not subject to the requirements of this report until calendar year ended December 31, 2016.
Harvard Bioscience is a global developer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of scientific instruments, systems and lab consumables used to advance life science for basic research, drug discovery, clinical and environmental testing. Our products are sold to thousands of researchers in over 100 countries through our global sales organization, websites, catalogs, and through distributors including Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., VWR, GE Healthcare, and other specialized distributors. We have sales and manufacturing operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Spain, France, Canada, and China.
Conflict Minerals Policy
We adopted a conflict minerals policy in 2013 which is publicly available at http://investor.harvardbioscience.com/corporate-governance.cfm.
2. Product Description
Our product range is organized into three product families: Cell and Animal Physiology, Lab Products and Services, and Molecular Separation and Analysis. We primarily sell these products under brand names that include Harvard Apparatus, Denville, Biochrom, Warner Instruments, BTX, KD Scientific, Hugo Sachs Elektronik, Panlab, Coulbourn Instruments, Multi Channel Systems, Triangle Biosystems, and CMA Microdialysis. Our products consist of instruments, consumables, and systems made up of several individual products. We manufacture our products at our locations in the United States, Germany, Sweden and Spain. Our broad and complex product range may contain conflict minerals within the following components:
| · | Tantalum, used in capacitors, |
| · | Tin, used in soldered components, |
| · | Tungsten, used in coatings, alloys, heating elements and electrodes, |
| · | Gold, used in circuit boards, electrodes and electronic components. |
3. Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry, or RCOI
We began our RCOI by completing a supplier list extraction from our Vendor List. This list was then filtered to remove:
| • | Service Providers/Suppliers |
| • | Indirect Materials Suppliers |
| • | Inactive Suppliers (minimum 1 year since last purchase) |
| 1 |
This ensures that all suppliers surveyed provided items to Harvard Bioscience that were used in final products in the year 2015. Once the filtering was completed, we populated the list with contact information and this list was then provided to Assent Compliance (“Assent”), our third party service provider, for upload to their Assent Compliance Manager SaaS system (“ACM”). It was deemed appropriate to not further filter this list based on the necessity of the presence of Conflict Minerals in the products as we could not definitively determine the presence or absence of Conflict Minerals in all parts supplied. The survey employed the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”), version 4.01, developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition® and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative. The CMRT allows for further scoping as they ask suppliers whether any of the Conflict Minerals are intentionally added and if they are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Assent conducted additional analysis of the supply chain and such analysis combined with supplier feedback, allowed Assent and Harvard Bioscience to remove additional suppliers from scope of the conflict minerals regulation. The factors considered in Assent’s secondary analysis and the information provided that removed these suppliers from scope included:
| • | The product they supply is packaging. (Labels do not count as packaging) |
| • | Parts that do not end up in the final product. (This includes equipment used to make the product but is not a part of the actual product itself (i.e. Industrial equipment, computers etc.).) |
| • | Test Labs (i.e. Providers that test the resistance or durability of a product) |
| • | Service Providers (i.e. any supplier that provides a service but not an actual physical part). |
| • | Any supplier who has not supplied anything to Harvard Bioscience, Inc., in the last 2 years. |
Assent then conducted the supplier survey portion of the RCOI.
During the supplier survey, suppliers were contacted via the ACM, a SaaS platform that enables its users to complete and track supplier communications as well as allow suppliers to upload completed CMRTs directly to the platform for assessment and management.
Non-responsive suppliers were contacted a minimum of three times by ACM and then were also managed by the Assent Compliance Supply Chain team in one on one communications. This included two to three follow ups from the supply chain team.
Assent’s communications with suppliers included training and education on the completion of the CMRT to alleviate any remaining confusion with suppliers. All of these communications were monitored and tracked in Assent's system for future reporting and transparency.
The program continues to include automated data validation on all submitted CMRTs. The goal of data validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers in the CMRT. All submitted forms are accepted and classified as valid or invalid so that data is still retained. Suppliers are contacted in regards to invalid forms and are encouraged to resubmit a valid form.
4. Due Diligence Process
4.1 Design of Due Diligence
Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, with the framework in The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “OECD Guidance”) and the related Supplements for Conflict Minerals.
4.2 Management Systems
Internal Team
Harvard Bioscience has established a management system for conflict minerals. Our management system includes a committee selected by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company as well as executive-level representatives and a team of subject matter experts from relevant functions such as:
| · | Quality |
| · | Purchasing |
| · | Finance |
| · | Engineering |
The team of subject matter experts is responsible for implementing our conflict minerals compliance strategy and is led by the Director of Global Quality who acts as the executive conflict minerals program manager. Senior management is briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts on a regular basis.
| 2 |
Control systems
As we do not typically have a direct relationship with Conflict Minerals smelters and refiners, we are engaged and actively cooperate with other major manufacturers in our sector and other sectors. Controls include, but are not limited to, the use of the CMRT as the data collection format for our suppliers, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which outlines certain expected behaviors for all Harvard Bioscience employees. In addition, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the Conflict Minerals contained in components and materials supplied to us – including sources of Conflict Minerals that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers.
Supplier Engagement
With respect to the OECD requirement to strengthen engagement with suppliers, we have, through Assent, provided education on the Conflict Minerals regulation as well as the expectations of the law and for a continued business relationship.
Grievance Mechanism
Various communication channels exist to serve as grievance mechanisms for early-warning risk awareness. We have multiple longstanding grievance mechanisms whereby employees (internal) and suppliers (external) can report violations of our policies. This includes, but is not limited to our whistleblower hotline that is part of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics policy located on our website at http://investor.harvardbioscience.com/corporate-governance.cfm.
Maintain Records
Our existing policy related to relevant documentation of our conflict mineral compliance process requires that documentation will be retained for a period of at least five years.
4.3 Identify and assess risk in the supply chain
Because of the complexity of our products, and the depth, breadth, and constant evolution of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify actors upstream from our direct suppliers. Risks are identified automatically in ACM based on criteria established for supplier responses in the Conflict Policy document and Management System.
Invalid responses are dealt with directly Assent Compliance Supply Chain staff who contact the supplier, encourage the submission of a valid CMRT, gather pertinent data and perform an assessment of the supplier’s Conflict Minerals status.
All of the information and findings from this process are stored in a database that can be audited by internal or external parties.
Certain of the responses to the surveys included the names of facilities listed by the suppliers as smelters or refiners. We compared, via Assent, each facility listed in the responses to the lists of smelters and refiners maintained by the CFSI to verify the existence of the facility and to determine whether the facility is certified as conflict-free.
We, via Assent, classify each listed smelter or refiner as high, medium or low risk based on three scoring criteria: recognition by the CFSI, geographic proximity to the Covered Countries, and certification by the CFSI as conflict-free. If any smelter or refiner is not recognized by the CFSI, Assent conducts outreach and research to gain more information about whether they are a smelter or a refiner, sourcing practices, location, and country of origin. Additionally, if any smelter is not certified conflict-free, Assent conducts outreach providing education on the Conflict-Free Smelter Program and encouraging them to join this program.
Additionally, suppliers are evaluated on program strength (further assisting in identifying risk in the supply chain). Many companies continue to be in the middle of the process and still have “unknown” as some of the answers. It has been decided that penalizing or failing them for working through the process is likely not the best approach for the initial years of compliance, it does not meet the goals or spirit of the Rule, however evaluating and tracking the strength of the program does meet the OECD Due Diligence Guidelines and can assist in making key risk mitigation decisions as the program progresses. The criteria used to evaluate the strength of the program are:
A. Do you have a policy in place that includes DRC conflict-free sourcing?
E. Have you implemented due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing?
H. Do you verify due diligence information received from your suppliers?
I. Does your verification process include corrective action management?
When suppliers meet or exceed those criteria (“Yes” to at least A,E,H,I) , they are deemed to have a strong program. When suppliers do not meet those criteria, they are deemed to have a weak program.
We believe that the inquiries and investigations described above represent a reasonable effort to determine the mines or locations of origin of the Conflict Minerals in our Covered Products, including (1) seeking information about Conflict Minerals smelters and refiners in our supply chain through requesting that our suppliers complete the CMRT, (2) verifying those smelters and refiners with the expanding CFSI lists, (3) conducting the due diligence review, and (4) obtaining additional documentation and verification, as applicable.
| 3 |
4.4 Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks
In response to this risk assessment, Harvard Bioscience has an approved risk management plan, through which the conflict minerals program is implemented, managed and monitored. “Fails” are a risk that is dealt with by implementing supplier corrective action measures which ensures Harvard Bioscience suppliers have policies and procedures in place that will produce the necessary data in an accurate manner. All this data is than verified through an assessment of supporting data, including smelter info. Updates to this risk assessment are provided regularly to senior management.
As part of our risk management plan, to ensure suppliers understand our expectations we have provided both video, recorded training and documented instructions through Assent. As the program progresses, contacts via email and phone by Harvard Bioscience procurement team members will be completed as an escalation to ensure the importance of a response via CMRTs to Assent and the required cooperation for compliance to the Conflict Minerals rules will be emphasized.
As described in our conflict minerals policy, we engage any of our suppliers whom we have reason to believe are supplying us with Conflict Minerals from sources that may support conflict in the Covered Countries to establish an alternative source of Conflict Minerals that does not support such conflict, as provided in the OECD guidance. We have found no instances where it was necessary to terminate a contract or find a replacement supplier.
4.5 Carry out Independent Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain
We support independent third-party audits through our participation in the Conflict Free Smelter Initiative (“CFSI”). We do not typically have a direct relationship with Conflict Minerals smelters and refiners, and we do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain.
4.6 Report annually on supply chain due diligence
We report annually on our supply chain due diligence by filing a Form SD and a Conflict Minerals Report with the SEC. Our Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report can be found on the Corporate Governance page of our website: http://investor.harvardbioscience.com/corporate-governance.cfm.
5. Due Diligence Results
Survey Responses
We are actively surveying our supplier chain. We review the responses against criteria developed to determine whether further engagement with our suppliers is required. These criteria included untimely or incomplete responses as well as inconsistencies within the data reported in the template. We, through the assistance of Assent, have worked with these suppliers to provide revised responses.
Smelters or Refiners
The information that we received from a majority of our Applicable Suppliers was at their company-wide level. Thus, the smelters or refiners identified by our Applicable Suppliers contained in the tables below may contain smelters or refiners that processed conflict minerals that our Applicable Suppliers supplied to their other customers, but not to us. As a result, we are unable to conclusively determine whether the smelters or refiners included in the tables below were used to process the conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of our products during 2015. Because of this uncertainty, we are also unable to conclusively determine whether each of the countries of origin listed above were the country of origin of conflict minerals in our products during 2015, and therefore also unable to conclusively determine the source and chain of custody of those conflict minerals. In addition, the third-party audits conducted by the CFSI, the LBMA and the information that we receive from our Applicable Suppliers may yield inaccurate or incomplete information. For example, the information received from our Applicable Suppliers may be incomplete because they may not have received accurate and complete conflict minerals information from all of the suppliers in their own supply chain. We also do not have access to audit reports or detailed findings of the third-party audits conducted as part of the CFSI Conflict-Free Smelter Program or the LBMA Responsible Gold Programme and, as a result, are not responsible for the quality of these audits or the audit findings.
Our third-party service provider compared the facilities listed in the responses in the CMRT to the list of smelters maintained by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), and confirmed that the name was listed by CFSI. As of May 9th, 2016, we have validated in this manner that 320 smelters or refiners provided in our supplier CMRTs are included on these lists.
If a supplier indicated that a facility was certified as “Conflict-Free” our third-party service provider confirmed that it was listed as such by CFSI. Based on the smelter and refiner lists provided by suppliers via the CMRTs and validated against the CFSI legitimate smelters and refiners information as described above, we are aware of 216 “Conflict-Free” smelters or refiners, 47 smelters or refiners that have begun the process to be validated as Conflict-Free, they are deemed as active in the Conflict Free Smelter Program but have not yet been validated as Conflict-Free and 57 smelters or refiners that are not Conflict-Free and have not started the process to become Conflict-Free. Confirmed smelter or refiner sourcing is not generally available through public information sources related to the smelter or refiner however Attachment A does include an aggregate country list of known smelter or refiner sourcing countries. Despite the additional smelter information obtained from these suppliers, in most cases information has been provided on a company or division level, rather than on a component level. Therefore, we cannot yet ascertain whether the smelters identified by our suppliers are related to any parts or components actually provided to us by the suppliers. Attachment A lists the smelters and refiners that the suppliers we surveyed reported as being in their supply chains. We have not included in Attachment A any smelters or refiners that we have not been able to validate. Attachment A also includes the facility location and whether a smelter or refiner is Conflict-Free.

Efforts to determine mine or location of origin
As noted above, the current efforts focus on gathering smelter information via the CMRT reporting template and, as the program progresses, requiring full completion of all necessary smelter identification information which will enable the validation and disclosure of the smelters as well as the tracing of the Conflict Minerals to their location of origin. Seeking information about Conflict Minerals smelters and refiners in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of the Conflict Minerals in our supply chain.
6. Steps to improve future due diligence and to mitigate risk
We intend to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries:
| • | Include a conflict minerals flow-down clause in new or renewed supplier contracts. |
| • | Expand the number of suppliers requested to supply information. |
| • | Engage with suppliers and direct them to training resources to attempt to increase the response rate and improve the content of the supplier survey responses. |
| • | Suppliers will also be requested to inform Harvard Bioscience of the correlation between these smelters and the products and parts they supply to Harvard Bioscience |
| • | Engage any of our suppliers found to be supplying us with Conflict Minerals from sources that support conflict in the DRC or any adjoining country to establish an alternative source of Conflict Minerals that does not support such conflict. |
