Background

This Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD of Allegion plc ("Allegion," "we," "us" or the “Company") for the year ended Dec. 31, 20221 was prepared to comply with the final rule regarding sourcing of conflict minerals under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("the Dodd-Frank Act"). Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), adopted pursuant to Section 1502 the Dodd-Frank Act, was approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Aug. 22, 2012 and imposes annual reporting requirements on SEC reporting companies relating to the presence of conflict minerals in the products that they manufacture or contract to manufacture.

The rule on conflict minerals focuses on the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") and its adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”), a central African region with vast mineral wealth, including reserves of conflict minerals.

1 On July 5, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of Stanley Access Technologies LLC and assets related to the automatic entrance solutions business from Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (the "Access Technologies business"). This Conflict Minerals report does not include the activities of the new acquired division.

Forward-Looking Statements

These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar expressions generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company's currently available information and our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. They are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties - many of which are beyond the Company’s control - as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Further information on these factors and other risks that may affect the Company's business is included in filings it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including its Annual Reports filed on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports filed on Form 10-Q, and in its other SEC filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Covered Minerals

The minerals covered by the SEC rules go by the name conflict minerals but are also referred to as 3TGs, an abbreviation for Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold. These conflict minerals are used in many manufactured goods across many industries, including the aerospace, appliances, automotive, electronics, jewelry, medical and tool and die industries. The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or certain of their derivatives (currently limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten); or (B) any other minerals or derivatives designated by the Secretary of State in the future, although no additional minerals or derivatives have been so designated at this time.

Conflict Minerals Program Overview

As a purchaser, we are many layers removed from the mining of the conflict minerals, and we do not directly purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals. We rely on collaboration with our supplier base by building awareness through training and provide support in order to identify the upstream supply chain and the originating smelter(s)/refiner(s) for the conflict minerals that ultimately are found in our products.

This effort is both challenging and demanding, as many of our suppliers are private entities that are not directly affected by the Rule, and many times do not have the financial and human resources to comply with the requests. Furthermore, our suppliers have their own supply chains and need to collaborate with their own upstream suppliers in order provide transparency of the end-to-end supply chain and to identify the smelter(s)/refiner(s).

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

We conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the conflict minerals by utilizing the conflict minerals reporting template (“CMRT”) provided by the Responsible Business Alliance’s (“RBA”) through its Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”). Our RCOI was designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals in the products we manufacture or contract to manufacture originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources by asking our suppliers to identify the smelters and refiners of the conflict minerals contained in the products or raw materials that they supply to us. We reviewed the information our suppliers provided and compared it to publicly available information about such smelters and refiners.

OECD Due Diligence Framework in Practice

We designed our due diligence measures 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 (Third Edition) and the related Supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “Guidance”). The Guidance identifies five steps for due diligence that should be implemented and provides guidance as to how to achieve each step. We developed our due diligence process to address each of these five steps, namely:

1.Establishing strong company management systems regarding conflict minerals;

2.Identifying and assessing risks in our supply chain;

3.Designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks in our supply chain;

4.Utilizing independent third-party audits of supply chain diligence; and

5.Publicly reporting on our supply chain due diligence

The OECD Guidance specifies that the requirements for compliance should reflect a company’s position in the supply chain. In particular, the OECD Guidance states that the implementation of due diligence should be tailored to a company’s activities and relationships and that the nature and extent of due diligence may vary based on a company’s size, products, relationships with suppliers and other factors. Due to practical difficulties associated with supply chain complexities, the OECD Guidance advises that downstream companies exercise due diligence primarily by establishing controls over their immediate suppliers. Accordingly, we rely primarily on our strategic, direct suppliers to provide information with respect to the origin of the conflict minerals contained in the components and materials supplied to us.

STEP 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems

Company Conflict Minerals Policy

Our policy is to support the legitimate businesses within the Covered Countries, and we expect our suppliers to source conflict minerals responsibly by establishing conflict minerals compliance policies and a due diligence process to support their conflict minerals data collection efforts.

To view our complete Conflict Minerals Policy, visit our webpage located at:

https://www.allegion.com/corp/en/about/ESG/environmental/conflict-minerals.html.

Internal Team

Our conflict minerals program is designed to conform to the internationally recognized due diligence framework of the OECD. The framework includes standard operating procedures, supplier risk segmentation, established processes for RCOI, due diligence and escalation, training and communication, as well as a website containing our Conflict Minerals Policy with information about the regulation, contact information and the latest Form SD filing.

We have a global supply chain compliance team that reports up to the Senior Vice President - Global Quality and Shared Services and is responsible to the Corporate Secretary for the Form SD report creation and filing. The global supply chain compliance team focuses on driving the compliance efforts of

the conflict minerals program, executing the procedures, working closely with a third-party regulatory compliance consulting firm to advance the maturity and sophistication of the program and further strengthening the conformance with the OECD Guidance and standards. Our continued conflict minerals program maturity progress can be attributed to several successfully executed initiatives:

•Attendance at conferences that include topics related to conflict minerals;

•Advancing internal knowledge through continuing education;

•Following any updates to relevant regulations (such as following news releases, webinars, industry initiatives); and

•Third-party software solution and consulting services, such as –

◦We leveraged this software to upload related legacy documents for retention purposes and will retain the records for a period of five years per the OECD Guidelines;

◦We are leveraging this software to offer training and updates for suppliers; and

◦We utilize their resources for benchmarking purposes.

We collaborate closely with our suppliers by developing long-lasting relationships. Our supplier development team has the responsibility to qualify and develop our suppliers. This team conducts periodic reviews of our Global Supplier Requirements Manual, which lays out the Company’s expectations of suppliers with respect to compliance with local, state and national regulations, including conflict mineral requirements.

Further, we have a dedicated commodity management team responsible for maintaining relationships with suppliers within their assigned commodities. This team also monitors supplier performance and selectively manages strategic relationships with preferred suppliers to help preserve the stability and longevity of the supplier relationships. Our supplier contracts contain a regulatory clause that explicitly lays out the expectations with the suppliers to comply with laws, including the Rule, and allows our company to audit and inspect data, records and other materials to evidence conflict minerals use and controls.

Per the OECD Guidelines, we retain and maintain our records for a period of five years on a company share-drive system. These records are also loaded into our third-party software system, Assent Compliance Manager system (“ACM System”), and we will continue to leverage this system for record keeping purposes.

Reporting Mechanism

As part of our continuing efforts to ensure lawful and ethical behavior, the Allegion Code of Conduct and Allegion Business Partner Code of Conduct advise employees and business partners to report legal and ethical questions or concerns. Both documents can be found by clicking on the following link: https://www.allegion.com/corp/en/about/ESG/governance/ethics-and-compliance-program.html.

A variety of options are available for employees and business partners to ask questions or report concerns in the area of ethics and compliance.

Employees. As set forth in the Allegion Code of Conduct (“Code”), employees may contact their manager, local management or local Human Resources partner; they may also contact the Allegion Legal Department, Chief Compliance Officer or Ethics HelpLine (“HelpLine”). Specific instructions for contacting these resources are provided in the Code. Employees contacting the HelpLine may choose to remain anonymous if consistent with applicable local law. The HelpLine is available 24/7 and is staffed by an independent organization. The Code also includes a section entitled “Zero-tolerance for retaliation,” which prohibits retaliation against individuals asking questions or raising concerns.

Business Partners. The Allegion Business Partner Code of Conduct (“Business Partner Code”) states business partners who wish to seek guidance or report concerns in the ethics and compliance area may send an email to Allegion, submit a report to Allegion via the Internet, send a letter to Allegion by mail or contact the HelpLine. Specific instructions and information (such as email, internet and mailing addresses, and U. S. and international HelpLine phone numbers) on reporting using each of these resources is provided in the Business Partner Code. Examples of business partners noted in the Business Partner Code include agents, distributors, dealers, contractors, suppliers, vendors, service providers, intermediaries, joint venture partners and others.

STEP 2: Identify and Assess Risks in Our Supply Chain

Scope Identification

Due to our size, 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 by Assent Compliance (“Assent”), our third-party service provider, and members of our internal conflict minerals team who contact the supplier, gather pertinent data and perform an assessment of the supplier’s conflict minerals status.

The primary risk we identified with respect to the reporting period ended Dec. 31, 2022, is related to the nature of the responses received. Many of the responses received provided data at a company or divisional level or were unable to specify the smelters or refiners used for 3TG in the components supplied to Allegion. Additionally, some suppliers indicated that they received information regarding their supply chains from 50% or less of their suppliers and, therefore, they could not provide a comprehensive list of all smelters or refiners in their supply chains. Based on historical supply chain information, we performed a risk-based approach in our due diligence that included:

▪Risk Identification through a commodity segmentation across the company for components (including electronic products) or products previously identified as containing, or were suspected of containing, conflict mineral(s).

▪Risk Assessment and prioritization based on information about purchased components or products from engineering, catalogs, sourcing managers and commodity-taxonomy definition. Our categories were as follows:

•High Concern

◦Electronic products / components

◦Materials / mechanical components containing 3TG’s

•Low Concern

◦Mechanical products, molded components, finishing, powered coats

•No Concern / Out of Scope

◦Plastics extrusions, foam/insulation

◦Packaging, paper, wood, chemicals, service providers, etc.

▪Risk Monitoring of new suppliers and additional information, including changes in regulatory landscape. When new suppliers are identified, we conduct a risk assessment of the anticipated purchases to determine the concern level. Based on this assessment, we engage with all relevant suppliers and request that they complete and return the CMRT.

Execution

We retained Assent to oversee our 2022 CMRT campaign. Assent initiated the campaign with a communication to our supply base authorizing Assent to solicit information from our suppliers. Next, Assent distributed a “campaign kick-off” letter in multiple languages that laid out the timing of the campaign, the process and expectations. Following the campaign kick-off, Assent provided each supplier with:

•Allegion’s Conflict Minerals Policy;

•Information about the conflict minerals regulations;

•Training materials for the program and CMRT form (version 6.22);

•Allegion contact information and conflict minerals website; and

•CMRT response deadline.

We followed this pre-established process for all selected suppliers with reminders to complete and return the CMRT and validated the CMRT responses for completion and accuracy. In addition, we followed an escalation process for all suppliers who failed to timely complete and return the CMRT or who provided incomplete or inconsistent responses - the process included alternative communication medium (e.g., phone calls or emails from private accounts as opposed to company accounts), leveraging the commodity managers (including local commodity managers in other regions of the world) who had established relationships with the suppliers and online research of the suppliers to see if they provided any public information regarding conflict minerals (e.g., policy or Form SD filing).

Assent validated the smelter information provided by the suppliers using the most recent smelter and refinery validation list from the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). Before the validation, the lists were reviewed and scrubbed for:

•Electronic component suppliers declaring NO 3TGs;

•Convert old smelter identification number (“CID”) to new CID;

•Remove duplicates and non-actionable submissions;

•Identify the CID based on the mineral, name, location;

•Remove any entries that don’t meet the RMI definition of a smelter or refiner; and

•Correct misspelled smelters/refiners.

Assent reviewed the list to identify smelters/refiners that were participating in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”), while a risk-based assessment was also performed on the remaining smelters/refiners in order to determine which suppliers posed increased risks in the supply chain. This risk assessment and further investigation consisted of, among other things:

•Reviews of Dun and Bradstreet reports;

•Checks of the U.S. Department of Commerce Conflict Mineral processing facilities;

•Verification of country of origin risk, as listed in the RMAP Audit Procedure; and

•Internet searches.

Assent used numerous factors to determine the level of risk that each smelter posed to the supply chain by identifying red flags. These factors include:

•Geographic proximity to Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

•Known mineral source country of origin.

•RMAP audit status.

•Credible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing.

•Peer assessments conducted by credible third-party sources.

•Sanctions risks

Based on these criteria Assent identified the following third-party facilities in the received CMRT responses as “SORs of Interest”:


African Gold Refinery	CID003185	Uganda
Artek LLC	CID003553	Russian Federation
Fidelity Printers and Refiners Ltd.	CID002515	Zimbabwe
Hydrometallurg, JSC	CID002649	Russian Federation
Industrial Refining Company	CID002587	Belgium
JSC "Kirovgrad Hard Alloys Plant"	CID003408	Russian Federation
JSC Ekaterinburg Non-Ferrous Metal Processing Plant	CID000927	Russian Federation
JSC Uralelectromed	CID000929	Russian Federation
Kaloti Precious Metals	CID002563	United Arab Emirates
Kyshtym Copper-Electrolytic Plant ZAO	CID002865	Russian Federation
LLC Volstok	CID003643	Russian Federation
Moliren Ltd.	CID002845	Russian Federation
Moscow Special Alloys Processing Plant	CID001204	Russian Federation
Novosibirsk Processing Plant Ltd.	CID001305	Russian Federation
NPP Tyazhmetprom LLC	CID003416	Russian Federation
OJSC "The Gulidov Krasnoyarsk Non-Ferrous Metals Plant" (OJSC Krastsvetmet)	CID001326	Russian Federation
OJSC Novosibirsk Refinery	CID000493	Russian Federation
OOO “Technolom” 1	CID003614	Russian Federation
OOO “Technolom” 2	CID003612	Russian Federation
Prioksky Plant of Non-Ferrous Metals	CID001386	Russian Federation
SOE Shyolkovsky Factory of Secondary Precious Metals	CID001756	Russian Federation
Solikamsk Magnesium Works OAO	CID001769	Russian Federation
Sudan Gold Refinery	CID002567	Sudan
Unecha Refractory metals plant	CID002724	Russian Federation

Through Assent, submissions that included any of the above facilities immediately produced a response instructing the supplier to take their own risk mitigation actions, including submission of a product specific CMRT to better identify the connection to components or products that they supply to us, if any, and escalating up to removal of these “Smelters of Interest” from their supply chain.

Due to our continued partnership with Assent, we were able to leverage the provider to assist us with the smelter review and country-of-origin determination for the data we collected during our due diligence and supplier campaign.

Additionally, suppliers were evaluated on program strength (further assisting in identifying risk in the supply chain). Evaluating and tracking the strength of the program meets the OECD Guidelines and can assist in making key risk mitigation decisions as the program progresses. The criteria used to evaluate the strength of the program were based on these four questions in the CMRT:

A.Have you established a responsible minerals sourcing policy?

D. Have you implemented due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing?

F. Do you review due diligence information received from your suppliers against your company’s expectations?

G. Does your review process include corrective action management?

When suppliers met or exceeded those criteria (Yes to questions A, D, F and G), they were deemed to have a strong program. When suppliers did not meet those criteria, they were deemed to have a weak program. As of April 3, 2023, 24.36% of our responsive suppliers have been identified as having a strong program, and 15.38% of suppliers have been identified as having a weak program. The remaining suppliers claimed no 3 TGs.

STEP 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

We provide periodic reports on the progress of our campaign process to our internal leadership. On an annual basis, we provide an update to the Executive Leadership Team about our conflict minerals program and have a separate meeting with the Senior Vice President – Allegion Americas and the Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary where we review the process, efforts, challenges, milestones and results before the final Form SD report is signed by the Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary and filed with the SEC.

•If there is a need for any meetings outside of the regular cadence to discuss emergency/escalation matters, our Senior Vice President – Allegion Americas as well as our Deputy

General Counsel and Corporate Secretary are available at short notice. Further, we have established a supplier risk management process that evaluates many factors and determines the next steps for concerning suppliers (including any need for renegotiation of supplier terms, termination of supplier relationships, creation of a remediation plan, etc.).

STEP 4: Utilize Independent Third-Party Audits of Supply Chain Diligence Practices

While we do not have a team of resources to independently audit the smelters/refiners within our supply chain, we have partnered with Assent, a ‘best-in-class’ third-party software and regulatory consulting company, who performs audits and verification activities of smelters/refiners across the globe as part of their business services for Allegion.

STEP 5: Publicly Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

This is the tenth year that we have reported on our conflict minerals program, our risk assessment and due diligence, as well as our results. While progress has been made, we were unable to determine with certainty that all the conflict minerals contained in our products are from conflict-free sources due to, among other things, the following:

a. Several of our suppliers identified smelters/refiners that do not participate in the RMAP or a similar program and other suppliers failed to identify any smelter / refiners in their responses to us. Furthermore, we were unable to obtain responses from all our suppliers, and some suppliers provided incomplete or inconsistent data.

b. Many of our suppliers submitted responses that were declared on a company-wide basis (i.e., representing the smelters and refiners associated with all product offerings of the supplier that contained conflict minerals) and not specific to the materials supplied to Allegion. Therefore, in combination with multiple layers in our supply chain, we believe these declarations might include smelters and refiners that do not provide the conflict minerals that are in our products.

As a result, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the country of origin of all the conflict minerals in our products and, if such conflict minerals did originate in the Covered Countries, whether such conflict minerals were from recycled or scrap sources or were from other conflict-free sources.

2022 Results

For 2022, we reviewed 937 suppliers and actively engaged with 410 suppliers that we deemed relevant based on historical CMRT responses and purchases. We received CMRT submissions from 233 suppliers (response rate of 56.83%). All CMRTs were reviewed for completeness and accuracy. Out of the received CMRTs, 225 were validated and provided the basis for our list of “Reported Entities,” starting on page 17 of this report.

Based on the due diligence process described under the heading “OECD Due Diligence Framework in Practice” on page 5 of this report and the information provided by our suppliers, we believe, to the extent reasonably determinable by us, that the facilities used to process the conflict minerals in our products or the other sources of the conflict minerals in our products consist of the following 342 entities (listed in the Reported Entities section), and that we have categorized as follows:

•221 smelters were classified as “RMAP Conformant;”

•88 smelters had a status of “Not Enrolled;”

•9 smelters are “RMAP Active;” and

•24 smelters are “Non-Conformant.”

“RMAP Conformant” means the smelter has successfully completed a RMAP audit and maintains good standing in the program, through a continual validation process. These smelters or refiners (SOR’s) have the systems and processes in place to support responsible sourcing of raw materials and can provide evidence to support their sourcing activities.

On July 5, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of Stanley Access Technologies LLC and assets related to the automatic entrance solutions business from Stanley Black and Decker, Inc. (the “Access Technologies business”). Due to the mid-year acquisition of this business, the suppliers of this business were not included in the review and the outreach.

Due Diligence Determination

For the reasons stated in this report, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the country of origin of all the conflict minerals in our products described under the heading “Product Description” on page 4 of this report and, if such conflict minerals did originate in the Covered Countries, whether such conflict minerals were from recycled or scrap sources or were from other conflict-free sources.

We have provided this information as of the date of this report. Subsequent events, such as the inability or unwillingness of any suppliers, smelters or refiners to provide us with complete information, may affect our future determinations under the Rule.

Independent Private Sector Audit

As permitted by Rule 13p-1 and the SEC’s guidance with respect thereto, we did not obtain an independent private-sector audit of this Conflict Minerals Report.

Future Initiatives

We continue to execute several initiatives to enhance our conflict minerals program, such as:

•Include the suppliers of the recently acquired Access Technologies business in its conflict minerals program;

•Continued education and training both for our company and our supply chain;

•Continued partnerships with industry groups and subject matter experts to define and improve best practices and build leverage over our supply chain;

•Continued engagement with our suppliers to obtain current, accurate and complete information from them and their upstream supply chain; and

•Continued engagement with our third-party software solution and consulting company who are working on independently verifying smelters outside of the RMI smelter certification program.
