Businesses Potentially Subject to the Rules
We are the largest midstream and the fourth largest energy company in North America, with a combined enterprise value of approximately $105 billion. We own an interest in or operate approximately 80,000 miles of pipelines and 180 terminals. Our interests include an approximate 10% limited partner interest and the 2% general partner interest in KMP, a leading pipeline transportation and energy storage company and one of the largest publicly traded pipeline limited partnerships in America. KMP owns an interest in or operates approximately 52,000 miles of pipelines and 180 terminals, and conducts its business through five reportable business segments. Its pipelines transport natural gas, refined petroleum products, crude oil, condensate, CO2 and other products, and its terminals store petroleum products, ethanol and chemicals, and handle such products as coal, petroleum coke and steel. KMP is also the leading producer and transporter of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery projects in North America.
Approximately 99.7% of our revenue for 2013 was generated by businesses other than manufacturing; however, two of KMP’s wholly owned subsidiaries manufactured or contracted to manufacture products for sale to customers during the year and therefore could be subject to the conflict minerals rules.
Due Diligence Framework and Resources
To comply with the conflict minerals rules, we conducted due diligence with respect to our manufacturing operations using the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas as a framework. In addition, we used the EICC-GeSI conflict minerals reporting template, which includes standard supply chain survey and information tracking methods to (i) determine if our manufactured products contain conflict minerals necessary to their functionality or production, (ii) perform a RCOI and (iii) assess whether our supply chain adheres to due diligence measures put forward by the OECD.
Our due diligence process is described in the Conflict Minerals Report included as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.
