Global Modern Slavery Statement

Global Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Policy Statement
Pursuant to the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (2010), the Australian Modern Slavery Act (2018), the United Kingdom Modern Slavery Act (2015), Combating Trafficking in Persons, 48 C.F.R. § 52.222-50 and all other applicable legislation, Kennametal Inc., including all subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates thereof (“Kennametal”) has issued the below statement regarding Human Trafficking, Forced Labor and Modern Slavery (collectively “Modern Slavery”).
Modern Slavery is a crime and constitutes a violation of fundamental human rights. Kennametal has a zero-tolerance approach toward any form of Modern Slavery. We are committed to conducting our business responsibly and in the best interest of all stakeholders. The Company is taking proactive steps to detect and mitigate Modern Slavery risk across our global operations and supply chain.

Actions We Are Taking
Kennametal has implemented a global Modern Slavery compliance program modeled on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Framework. The OECD framework calls for the establishment of management systems, risk identification, assessment and mitigation in the supply chain, and verification followed by reporting of relevant risks. We periodically review our Modern Slavery risk profile and make appropriate modifications to our approach, commensurate with our risk assessment.

Description of Kennametal’s Risk Identification, Assessment and Mitigation efforts, Due Diligence and Training
Consistent with guidance issued by the Attorney General of California in 2015 for the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (2015) and the guidance issued under section 54(9) of the Modern Slavery Act by the Office of the Home Secretary of the United Kingdom (2015), the following section provides a brief description of the items referred to in the cited guidance. Items from Section 16 of the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 are also discussed below.
Kennametal has adopted a risk-based, phased approach to comply with applicable Modern Slavery legislation.
Our approach involves internally assessing our compliance risk profile across our global footprint. We use this risk assessment to identify focus areas for further risk mitigation efforts, including within our global supply base. Kennametal has also partnered with a third-party service provider to engage select supply partners to collect additional information regarding their labor force and use of contract labor from high-risk regions. Through this process, training is provided to identified suppliers encompassing the basics of Modern Slavery, as well as free resources, including, but not limited to, the National Human Trafficking Hotline.

If additional due diligence leads to risk mitigation, the supplier(s) is then considered higher risk and the second phase of Kennametal’s Modern Slavery compliance program is triggered, requiring further steps by Kennametal to engage and collaborate with the supplier to mitigate identified risk factors.

Kennametal is committed to reviewing and improving our Modern Slavery compliance program over time by refining, on a risk-appropriate basis, the scope of surveyed suppliers and the nature of requested information. We also intend to periodically re-survey previously assessed suppliers to detect changes in their risk profile.
