Exhibit 1.01

CLEAN ENERGY FUELS CORP.

Conflict Minerals Report

For the Reporting Period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (collectively, the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”). As permitted by applicable guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company did not obtain an independent private sector audit within the meaning of the Rule.

Overview of the Company and the Rule

The Company is the leading provider of natural gas as an alternative fuel for vehicle fleets in the United States and Canada, based on the number of stations operated and the amount of gasoline gallon equivalents (“GGEs”) of renewable natural gas (“RNG”), compressed natural gas (“CNG”) and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) delivered. The Company’s principal business is supplying RNG, CNG and LNG (RNG can be delivered in the form of CNG or LNG) for light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles and providing operation and maintenance (“O&M”) services for vehicle fleet customer stations. As a comprehensive solution provider, the Company also designs, builds, operates and maintains fueling stations; sells and services natural gas fueling compressors and other equipment used in CNG stations and LNG stations; offers assessment, design and modification solutions to provide operators with code-compliant service and maintenance facilities for natural gas vehicle fleets; transports and sells CNG and LNG via “virtual” natural gas pipelines and interconnects; procures and sells RNG; sells tradable credits it generates by selling RNG and conventional natural gas as a vehicle fuel, including Renewable Identification Numbers under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard Phase 2 and credits under the California and Oregon Low Carbon Fuel Standards; helps its customers acquire and finance natural gas vehicles; and obtains federal, state and local tax credits, grants and incentives. As of March 31, 2019, the Company served over 1,000 fleet customers operating over 47,000 natural gas vehicles, and the Company owned, operated or supplied approximately 530 natural gas fueling stations in 41 states in the United States and four provinces in Canada.

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information if a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of the products. The Rule also requires such companies to conduct certain inquiries reasonably designed to determine whether such minerals originated in the countries specified in the Rule. The minerals specified in the Rule, which are collectively referred to in this Report as the “Conflict Minerals,” consist of gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The countries specified in the Rule, which are collectively referred to in this Report as the “Covered Countries,” consist of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and all countries that share an international border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which presently consists of the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. As described in this Report, certain aspects of the Company’s operations involve the manufacture, or contracting for manufacture, of products for which the Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the products.

When this Report uses the term “Conformant,” it means the applicable mine, smelter or refiner has been verified as complying with the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP,” formerly the Conflict-Free Smelter Program or CFSP) of the Responsible Mining Initiative (“RMI,” formerly the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative or CFSI) or an equivalent third-party audit program, and when this Report uses the term “Active,” it means the applicable mine, smelter or refiner has agreed to participate in the RMAP but has not yet completed the program to become Conformant.

The Company’s Products Covered by this Report

This Report covers products: (i) for which one or more Conflict Minerals is necessary to the functionality or production of the product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company; and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during the Reporting Period. These products, which are collectively referred to in this Report as the “Covered Products,” consist of the following:

 

  •  

LNG Pumps – This product category includes products that offload LNG from cryogenic tanker trailers into storage tanks at LNG fueling stations and deliver LNG to dispensers from storage tanks, as well as replacement parts for such products.

 

  •  

LNG Dispensers – This product category includes products that dispense LNG into vehicles, as well as replacement parts for such products.


  •  

Fueling Station Support Panels – This product category includes electrical storage panels used in natural gas fueling stations, as well as replacement parts for such products. A fueling station support panel houses the point of sale system that tracks dispenser transactions, the communications system, purge fans, a digital video recorder and camera to record activities at the station and power circuits for station lighting and electrical control.

Third-party products the Company sells at retail but does not manufacture or contract to manufacture are outside the scope of this Report.

Overview of the Company’s Supply Chain

The Company’s supply chain with respect to the Covered Products is complex, and there are many third parties in the supply chain between the original sources of Conflict Minerals and the ultimate manufacture of the Covered Products. In this regard, the Company does not purchase Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners. The Company must therefore rely on its suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of Conflict Minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products. Moreover, the Company believes the mines, smelters and refiners of the Conflict Minerals are best situated to identify the sources of Conflict Minerals, and therefore the Company has sought to identify the applicable mines, smelters and refiners of Conflict Minerals in the Company’s supply chain.

The Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy

The Company maintains a policy relating to the sourcing of Conflict Minerals (the “Company Policy”), which provides as follows:

 

  •  

The Company is guided by its core beliefs and values as stated in the Company’s Code of Ethics. The Company is committed to ethical practices and compliance with applicable laws and regulations wherever it does business. The Company believes that its commitment to integrity and citizenship extends to its worldwide supply base. The Company is committed to sourcing its products responsibly, and it expects its suppliers to also source materials from responsible suppliers.

 

  •  

The Company expects its suppliers to partner with it to comply with the Rule. The Company expects its suppliers to:

 

  •  

Complete the Company’s Conflict Minerals survey, identifying whether any Conflict Mineral is present in the material that they sell to the Company and the smelter, refiner or mine that originally provided it (for this purpose, the Company’s direct suppliers may have to require successive upstream suppliers to complete the Company’s Conflict Minerals survey until the applicable smelter, refiner or mine is identified);

 

  •  

Agree to cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any due diligence that the Company chooses to perform with respect to its inquiries; and

 

  •  

When the Company deems it necessary, to provide reasonable proof of the due diligence performed by the supplier to support the information provided by the supplier to the Company.

 

  •  

The Company evaluates its relationships with its suppliers on an ongoing basis, and reserves the right to consider the extent to which a supplier has failed to reasonably comply with the Company Policy in the course of such evaluation.

The Company has designed its Conflict Minerals reporting efforts, including the design and implementation of the Company Policy, to align and comply with the Rule. The full text of the Company Policy is available at http://investors.cleanenergyfuels.com/corporate-governance.cfm. The foregoing website reference and all other such references in this Report are intended to be inactive textual references, and the contents of the Company’s website are not intended to be incorporated into this Report.

The Company’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

The Company has conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the Conflict Minerals. This RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of a Covered Product originated in the Covered Countries or may be from recycled or scrap sources. Based on the RCOI, the Company has reason to believe that some of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products may have originated from the Covered Countries or may not be from recycled or scrap sources. As a result, the Company exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such Conflict Minerals, as described below.

Due Diligence Process

Due diligence process design

The Company’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, to the framework in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Third Edition (2016), including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (collectively, the “OECD Guidance”).


Due diligence performed

Below is a summary of the Company’s due diligence process performed in the Reporting Period regarding the sourcing of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products. The description below is intended to provide a summary of the Company’s due diligence process, and thus the measures described below are not the only measures the Company took in the Reporting Period in furtherance of the Company Policy or pursuant to the Rule and the OECD Guidance.

OECD Guidance Step 1: Maintain a management system

 

  •  

The Company continued to make the Company Policy publicly available.

 

  •  

The Company maintained a working group that oversaw its due diligence process (the “Working Group”). The Working Group was led by the Company’s Senior Vice President, Corporate Transactions and Chief Legal Officer, and also included the Company’s Director, Supply Chain; the Supply Chain Manager of the Company’s subsidiary Clean Energy Cryogenics; and the Company’s Director, Legal Affairs. The Company also engaged an external service provider to support the due diligence process.

 

  •  

The Company continued to use RMI’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “Template”) as a means for collecting information related to the use and origin of Conflict Minerals (including smelter data) in the Company’s supply chain.

OECD Guidance Step 2: Identify and assess risks

 

  •  

The Company contacted its 18 identified in-scope suppliers and provided them with a summary of the Rule, links to the Template and the Company Policy, and contact information for the Company.

 

  •  

To aid in the identification and assessment of potentially adverse impacts, the Company defined several “Red Flags,” or indicators that one or more items in a supplier’s completed Template or other response to the Company’s due diligence inquiries are worthy of further action by the Company. The Red Flags were designed to ensure that the Template has been completed in full, and also to capture (i) the reasonableness of responses using logic checks; (ii) whether a supplier has initiated its own due diligence on minerals sourcing; (iii) whether any Conflict Minerals are sourced from one of the Covered Countries, and (iv) whether the mines, smelters or refiners identified by suppliers are Conformant or Active.

 

  •  

Suppliers that did not submit the Template by the requested deadline or presented Red Flags were contacted by members of the Working Group.

OECD Guidance Step 3: Design and implement strategy to respond to risk

 

  •  

The Working Group reported the findings of the due diligence process to the Company’s senior management and Board of Directors.

 

  •  

The Company maintained a risk management plan that establishes supplier risk management strategies, and followed up with suppliers as needed in accordance with this plan.

OECD Guidance Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audits of the supply chain

 

  •  

The Company relied on the RMI and that organization’s RMAP for independent third-party audits of the mines, smelters and refiners in its supply chain.

 

  •  

As noted above, and in accordance with applicable guidance, the Company did not obtain an independent private sector audit within the meaning of the Rule.

OECD Guidance Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence

 

  •  

The Company is reporting the results of the due diligence it performed by providing this Report as Exhibit 1.01 to a Form SD filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company also has made this Report publicly available on its website.

Results of Due Diligence Performed

The Company’s efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products with the greatest possible specificity consisted primarily of the due diligence measures described in this Report. The Company received responses from 72% of its identified in-scope suppliers.

Based on the information provided by the Company’s suppliers, and taking into account the supplier responses described in the preceding paragraph, the Company believes the facilities that may have been used to process the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the


Covered Products include the processing facilities listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3 in Appendix A to this Report. Of the 300 processing facilities identified by the Company’s suppliers as being in the supply chain for the Covered Products, 249 have been validated as Conformant, four have been confirmed as Active, and 47 have not been confirmed as Conformant or Active.

Based on its due diligence efforts, the Company does not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products. Based on the information provided by the Company’s suppliers, however, the Company has reason to believe that some of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products may have originated from the Covered Countries or may not be from recycled or scrap sources.

Additional Future Measures

The Company aims to take the following steps, among others, to improve its due diligence measures and to further mitigate the risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products finance or benefit armed groups (perpetrators of serious human rights abuses) in the Covered Countries:

 

  •  

Continue to enhance its employee training relating to the Rule, the Company Policy and the Company’s procedures to identify and work with in-scope suppliers.

 

  •  

Continue to engage with suppliers to help them better understand the Rule and the Company Policy and to obtain accurate and complete information about the origin of Conflict Minerals in the Company’s supply chain, including improving the quality of the processing facility data provided by suppliers.

 

  •  

Seek opportunities to assist suppliers in building capabilities with a view to improving due diligence performance.

 

  •  

Continue its initiative to include language in its new supply contracts that requires suppliers to comply with the Company Policy.

 

  •  

Continue to engage in industry initiatives that encourage Conformant supply chains.

Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Measures

As a downstream purchaser of products that contain Conflict Minerals, the Company’s due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products. The supply chain of commodities such as the Conflict Minerals is a complex and multi-step process that involves a number of different parties. Because the Company does not have direct contractual relationships with mines, smelters and refiners, its due diligence processes must rely on information provided by its direct suppliers, as well as similar information provided to those suppliers within their supply chains, to identify the original sources of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products. The results of the Company’s due diligence efforts could contain inaccuracies or incomplete information due to this process of collecting information. Further, many suppliers’ responses represent the supply chain at a company-level rather than being product-specific, and as a result, the list of processing facilities disclosed in this Report may contain facilities that did not actually process the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products. In addition, the Company relies on information collected and provided by independent third-party audit programs, such as the RMAP of the RMI, and these sources of information may yield unreliable, inaccurate or incomplete information due to a variety of factors, including human or other errors or fraudulent actions.
