ITURAN LOCATION AND CONTROL, LTD.

Conflict Minerals Report

For the Year ended December 31, 2022

In Accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

This Conflict Mineral Report ("CMR") of Ituran Location and Control (herein referred to as "Ituran", "The Company", "we", "us" or "our") for the calendar year 2022 was prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Rule”), which was promulgated in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 to implement reporting disclosure, and other requirements on registrants that manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products that contain conflict minerals (in the form of gold, tin, tantalum, and tungsten and their derivatives (collectively “3TG Metals”)) which are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.

We have determined that some 3TG Metals are present and were required for manufacture of certain Ituran products which were contracted to be manufactured by us or by our consolidated subsidiary in calendar year 2022. We have conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") on the relevant supply chains in a good faith manner designed to determine whether any of the 3TG Metals contained in such products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (“DRC”) or were from recycled or scrap sources.

Furthermore, we have exercised due diligence according to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains (third edition) ("OECD Guidance") on the source and chain of custody of the 3TG Metals in our relevant 2022 supply chain. The OECD Guidance distinguishes between the roles and the corresponding due diligence recommendations addressed to upstream companies and downstream companies in the supply chain. Accordingly, ‘upstream’ means the mineral supply chain from the mine to smelters or refineries ("SOR"), and downstream means the minerals supply chain from smelters/refiners to retailers. References to upstream and downstream throughout this CMR should be read as relying on these definitions. We are a downstream company, which is located several tiers above the SOR and don’t have direct relations with SOR, we followed the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative Five Practical Steps for Conflict Minerals Due Diligence and SEC Disclosure (Version 3.0) ("CFSI steps"), which provides practical interpretation of OECD guidelines for Conflict Minerals SEC disclosure for downstream companies.

The due diligence procedures we exercised include the steps that we are taking to mitigate the risk that the 3TG Metals included in our products benefit armed groups in the DRC and the steps to improve our due diligence efforts.

Pursuant to SEC guidance issued April 29, 2014, the SEC order issued May 2, 2014, we are not required to describe any of our products as “DRC conflict free” (as defined in Section 1, Item 1.01(d)(4) of Form SD), “DRC conflict undeterminable” (as defined in Section 1, Item 1.01(d)(5) of Form SD) or “having not been found to be DRC conflict free,” and therefore we make no conclusion in  this regard in this CMR. In addition, we rely on the Updated Statement on the Effect of the Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule April 7, 2017 ("SEC statement"), and the provided description of our Due Diligence efforts, shall not constitute as a waiver from the SEC statement. Furthermore, given that we have not voluntarily elected to describe any of our products as “DRC conflict free,” an independent private sector audit of this CMR does not have to be conducted and therefore it was not included in this CMR.

We have prepared this CMR for filing as an exhibit to our Form SD. This CMR includes a description of the measures we have taken to perform RCOI, the measures we have taken to exercise due diligence and a list of the identified SORs.

1.	Overview of our Company

Ituran is a leader in the emerging mobility technology field, providing value-added location-based services, including a full suite of services for the connected-car. Ituran offers Stolen Vehicle Recovery, fleet management as well as mobile asset location, management & control services for vehicles, cargo and personal security for the retail, insurance industry and car manufacturers. Ituran is the largest OEM telematics provider in Latin America. Its products and applications are used by customers in over 20 countries. Ituran is also the founder of the Tel-Aviv based DRIVE startup incubator to promote the development of smart mobility technology.

Ituran's subscriber base has been growing significantly since the Company's inception to approaching 1.9 million subscribers using its location-based services with a market leading position in Israel and Latin America. Established in 1995, Ituran has approximately 2,800 employees worldwide, with offices in Israel, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, Columbia, India, Canada and the United States.

 

On September 13, 2018 Ituran acquired 81.3% of the shares of Road Track Holding S.L (today named Ituran Spain Holdings S.L), a telematics’ company operating primarily in the Latin American region ("ISH").

 

During year 2021, we acquired the remaining shares of ISH.

 

We obtain products from three primary sources: (1) self-production by our consolidated subsidiary's (E.R.M. Electronic Systems Limited) manufacturing facilities, and (2) from a third party manufacturer (Telematics Wireless Ltd). (3) ISH suppliers which are included in this report.

For more information, on our business is available in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal 2022 please visit Ituran’s website, at: www.ituran.com

We have assessed our suppliers including the suppliers of our consolidated subsidiary (ERM) on the likelihood that the products they supplied to us contain 3TG Metals, and then determined which suppliers to survey. We conducted our survey of the selected suppliers using the template developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition® (“EICC®”) and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”), known as the Conflict Free Smelter Initiative (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT"). CMRT is a commonly used Template which was developed by CFSI to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding SORs who provide 3TG Metals to a company’s supply chain. CMRT includes questions regarding a company’s conflict-free policy and engagement with its direct suppliers and requests a listing of the SORs used by the company and its suppliers. CMRT also contains questions about the origin of 3TG Metals included in the company’s products, as well as questions regarding supplier due diligence. Because of our size, the complexity of our products, and the depth, breadth, and constant evolution of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify suppliers upstream from our direct suppliers. We rely on our direct suppliers to provide us with information about the source of 3TG Metals contained in the components, and finished products supplied to us by those suppliers. In most instances, our direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers.

Although our suppliers have identified the presence of some of the Conflict Minerals and provided information on the smelters based on the completed due diligence provided thus far, some suppliers also have indicated that their due diligence is not complete. We continue to work with these suppliers to get additional information regarding the SORs that provide 3TG Metals to our suppliers.

We have designed our conflict minerals due diligence in accordance with the principles of the OECD Guidance and CFSI steps appropriate for downstream companies in our position in the mineral supply chain. We are a downstream company. We do not procure any conflict minerals, 3TG Metals or 3TG Metals containing products from smelters, refiners or scrap processors. We purchase and rely on specialized products comprised in part of 3TG metals. We procure these products from various suppliers who themselves are downstream actors in the supply chain. Our due diligence design incorporates the same five elements recommended by OECD Guidance: (1) Establish Strong Company Management Systems, (2) Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain, (3) Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks, (4) Carry out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices (which we are not required), and (5) Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence. Our due diligence design is also influenced by our Conflict Minerals Compliance Policy and Code of conduct of Ituran's Suppliers and Agents, which articulates our commitment to monitoring our supply chain to assure that we don’t use products with conflict minerals which directly or indirectly supporting civil violence or human rights abuses in DRC.

We developed a management system to implement our conflict minerals due diligence which is adjusted to us being a downstream company. We have adopted Conflict Minerals Compliance Policy and a Code of conduct of Ituran's Suppliers and Agents ("Code of Conduct"), which are available on our website www.ituran.com.

 

Our senior management supported the development of our Conflict Minerals Policy and monitored the results of our due diligence efforts. We assembled an internal team, led by our CFO, and includes the technical team from one of Ituran's consolidated companies, an external legal, and quality experts. We have established a system of controls and transparency over the conflict minerals supply-chain, by notifying our suppliers of our Code of Conduct and requesting them to agree to its terms. We have requested from our suppliers which we identified to provide us with CMRT disclosures, which allows us to collect and retain information on their SORs and 3TG Metals in their supply chain. We strengthen the engagement with our relevant suppliers, by requesting them to accept the terms of our Code of Conduct on Conflict Minerals and working with them on improving their due diligence and CMRT reports. Being a downstream company, we don’t have any direct ability to affect upstream companies in our supply chain. Nevertheless, we have established a company grievance mechanism in form of a compliance hotline email: Eli_K@ituran.com, through which any interested party may ask questions or report concerns, including those regarding 3TG Metals.

 

We identified the products that we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, containing necessary 3TG Metals for the 2022 reporting period. This exercise resulted in the compilation of a list of suppliers and contract manufacturers that provided products containing 3TG Metals to us in 2022 (the “3TG Metals Supplier List”). We requested each entity on our 3TG Metals Supplier List to provide us with a CMRT. The CMRT among other requirements, prompts the Supplier to investigate its 3TG Metals supply chain tracing back to the SOR or scrap processor. The cover letter accompanying each CMRT outlines the Rule, explains the purpose and intent of the CMRT, and directed Suppliers to on-line CFSI training materials. These training materials provide our Suppliers with an overview of the due diligence objectives and guidance on filling out the CMRT. Most of our suppliers are well aware of their obligations and of rules governing conflict minerals and have provided their CMRT in a timely manner. We have reviewed our suppliers CMRT responses for completeness and assessed whether further outreach to individual suppliers was necessary. We compared the names of the disclosed smelters and refiners in the CMRT responses to the list of entities that CFSI has confirmed to be true 3TG metals SORs (“CFSI Standard Smelter Names List”). We then compiled the CMRT data into our database. We generated a list of the SORs that are potentially associated with our 3TG Metals supply chain for 2022 ("List"). We cannot confirm that all SORs on this List processed the necessary 3TG Metals contained in our products. Most of our suppliers identified all SORs in their entire supply chain, rather than tailor their CMRT responses to the smelters and refiners associated with a particular product line sold to us specifically. In addition, we reviewed the completion of the CMRT, and looked for contradictions in the CMRTs and their reasonableness. In the event we find that there is missing or unclear information in the CMRT report, we have contacted the relevant supplier to require to complete the information or to provide reasonable and satisfying explanations, as applicable.

We review the data received from our suppliers with respect to smelters and refiners and compare such information against the lists of SOR's that have received either “Conflict-Free Smelters & Refineries" or an “Active Smelters & Refiners” designation from the CFSI. We viewed a CFSI Compliant designation as an indicator that the supply chain upstream of the SOR was not engaged in conduct that directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in a Covered Country. We also reviewed available information from CFSI concerning the location and country of origin of the 3TG Metals sourced by SORs verified as CFSI Compliant on our List.

Our internal team has reviewed the final List of SOR, and all the received CMRT reports, and reported the findings to our senior management. As the active risk management contemplated by the OECD Guidance is in the responsibility of the SORs themselves, and as we are only a downstream company, may work through our supply chain to understand which SORs are in our supply chain, and to determine if more investigation is required. Our suppliers have provided us with complete CMRT reports, and a few of our suppliers stated within their CMRT that a small amount of their 3TG Metals suppliers SORs are unknown or they haven’t themselves received the complete information on their SORs from their own suppliers. We have implemented a risk management plan to monitor these suppliers, and to work on engaging with these suppliers during the period until our next report, in order to improve their disclosure.

As we have not voluntarily elected to describe any of our products as “DRC conflict free,” an independent private sector audit does not have to be conducted and therefore it was not included in this CMR. As we are a downstream company, we do not purchase any 3TG Minerals directly from mines and we are many steps removed in the supply chain from the mining of the conflict minerals. We purchase materials used in our products from our suppliers and some of those materials contribute 3TG Metals necessary to our products and/or production process. The origin of 3TG Metals cannot be determined with any certainty once the ores are smelted and/or refined and converted to bullions, ingots or other smelted or refined derivatives. The SORs are consolidating points for ore and are in the best position in the total supply chain to know the origin of the ores. We rely on our direct suppliers to assist with our RCOI and due diligence efforts, including the identification of SORs, for the conflict minerals contained in the materials which they supply to us, and we also rely upon industry organizations (for example, EICC and CFSI) efforts to influence SORs to get audited and certified through CFSI's CFS programs.

We have compiled our results of RCOI and our due diligence and we have filed this report in accordance with the Rule through the use of the Form SD and the attachment of this CMR. Further information is also available by reviewing our Conflict Minerals Policy and Code of Practice which are available at www.ituran.com.

 

The response rate among suppliers surveyed in 2022 was 100%, which is more than the response rate as of our last report, which had 98% response rate. Among the supplier responses, we identified 327 SORs as potential sources of 3TG Metals that were reported to be in the supply chain through the end of the 2022 calendar year. Out of them we have identified that 181 (55.4%) SORs fall in one of the abovementioned two designations from CFSI either “Conformant" (178 SORs) or an “Active” (3 SORs). Such results constitute a decrease since our 2021 report, in which 529 out of 627 SORs (84.3%) fell into one of the abovementioned CFSI designations.

Based on the information provided by our suppliers through the end of the 2022 calendar year, we believe that the SORs that may have used to process the 3TG Metals in our products, include the SORs listed in Annex A hereto.

We are continuing to refine and expand the list of SORs. We believe that seeking information about SORs in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the locations of origin of the 3TG Metals in our supply chain.

During 2023, we plan to continue to maintain our RCOI processes with respect to 3TG Metals. During 2023 we expect to further develop the engagement and collaboration with our suppliers with aim of continued improvement of our supplier response rate, reliability and quality.
