Conflict Minerals Report
For the reporting period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017
This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of NXP Semiconductors N.V. has been prepared under Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. NXP Semiconductors N.V. refers to the operations of NXP Semiconductors N.V. and its subsidiaries and may be referred to as the “Company,” “NXP,” “we,” “us” or “our,” as the context requires. The content of any website referred to in this Report is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference into this Report. This Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.
The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which specified minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, wolframite, tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, which we collectively refer to in this Report as “Covered Minerals”. For the purposes of this Report, we refer to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and any adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo as the “DRC Region”.
Certain matters discussed in this Report include forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any information contained in this Report.
NXP has determined that Covered Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of products that it manufactures or contracts to manufacture.
Description of NXP’s Products Covered by this Report
This Report relates to products: (i) for which Covered Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production; (ii) that were manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by NXP; and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2017 (collectively, the “Covered Products”).
NXP designs and manufactures semiconductor product solutions that make life easier, safer, and more connected. Our products are incorporated into a wide range of our customers’ end-market applications including automotive, identification, wireless infrastructure, lighting, industrial, mobile, consumer, computing and software solutions for mobile phones.
NXP’s Due Diligence Process
As required under the Rule, for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2017, NXP has taken the measures described in this Report to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of Covered Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products. NXP’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform to the framework in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Third Edition, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”), as it relates to our position as a “downstream” purchaser.
Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems
NXP believes taking responsibility for its impact on the world is crucial to the company’s success, for its ability to deliver value to stakeholders, and for protecting the environment for future generations. We have established goals for corporate governance, people practices, product development, manufacturing, environment, and community responsibility. NXP standards on social responsibility have been deployed through extensive training programs and in 2010 we adopted a conflict-free sourcing policy. The latest version of our conflict-free sourcing policy can be found on our company website at http://www.nxp.com/docs/en/supporting-information/NXP-STATEMENT-CONFLICT-MINERALS.pdf.
NXP has also adopted a Supplier Code of Conduct which is available at http://www.nxp.com/about/about-nxp/corporate-responsibility/ethics/supplier-engagement:SUPPLIER-RESPONSIBILITY. Among other things, the Supplier Code of Conduct communicates NXP’s expectations to its suppliers with respect to responsible sourcing of Covered Minerals. Suppliers are expected to have a policy to reasonably assure that the minerals in the products they manufacture do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups that are perpetrators of serious human rights abuses around the world. Key areas of concern include the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries, and other high-risk regions for the extraction or transit of raw materials.
Suppliers shall exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of these minerals and make their policies and due diligence measures available to NXP upon NXP’s request. In addition, suppliers shall submit CMRTs, as defined below, to NXP upon NXP’s request.
An NXP internal team from the procurement and quality organizations led its Covered Minerals supply chain due diligence efforts. NXP’s Senior Vice President of Global Quality oversaw the activities of this internal team.
Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain
NXP’s supply chain is complex and, in most cases, there are many third parties in the supply chain between NXP’s ultimate manufacture of the Covered Products and the original sources of Covered Minerals. NXP requires its suppliers to identify the smelters and refiners of Covered Minerals in their supply chain. In most cases, our suppliers reported this information using the broadly adopted conflict minerals reporting template (“CMRT”) developed by Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) (formerly Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”)), a multi-industry initiative consisting of over 350 companies and industry associations. Due to the complexity of our supply chain, we rely on our suppliers for the accuracy and completeness of this information. In most cases, our suppliers submitted a consolidated smelter and refiner report for all of their products and materials, not just products and materials provided to NXP.
Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
Our procurement organization has implemented escalation procedures for suppliers who (i) provide products that incorporate Covered Minerals from smelters or refiners that do not comply with a third-party audit program or (ii) have not provided details on the sourcing of Covered Minerals in their supply chain. Under these procedures, our procurement organization will develop a list of corrective actions including a timeline for compliance and a decision to continue or temporarily suspend trade with the supplier during the corrective action period. Suppliers who do not make satisfactory progress addressing the identified corrective actions are reported to NXP’s chief procurement officer.
NXP’s due diligence measures with respect to identified smelters and refiners were primarily based on multi-industry due diligence initiatives to evaluate the procurement practices of the smelters and refiners that process and provide Covered Minerals to our supply chain.
Step 4: Carry out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices
We believe that engagement and active cooperation with other industry members with whom we share suppliers can assist in the identification of risks in NXP’s supply chain by facilitating identification of smelters and refiners and assessment of their due diligence practices.
NXP became a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (“RBA”) (formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) in 2014, which promotes responsible sourcing of minerals, among other important social responsibility initiatives.
NXP is also a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) where NXP representatives regularly collaborate with other industry members on complementary programs and initiatives. In 2017, NXP was an active participant in RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”), an independent third-party audit program developed
according to global standards (including the OECD Guidance) to identify smelters and refiners that have systems in place to assure sourcing of only conflict-free materials. NXP is also a member of the Responsible Raw Materials Initiative (RRMI), a working group co-sponsored by the RBA and RMI that seeks to advance initiatives to drive meaningful improvement in the mining sector.
In 2016, NXP joined the European Partnership for Responsible Minerals (EPRM) as a strategic partner. The EPRM is a multi-stakeholder partnership in which governments, NGOs, and private sector work together to create better social and economic conditions for mine workers and local mining communities, by increasing the number of mines that adopt responsible mining practices in Conflict and High Risk Areas. The EPRM also serves as a knowledge platform where organizations can share knowledge on due diligence and support activities to improve the conditions in the mining areas.
Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence
This Report is publicly available at http://www.nxp.com/about/about-nxp/corporate-responsibility/ethics/conflict-minerals:CONFLICT-MINERALS.
Results of NXP Due Diligence Measures
For the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2017, based upon an internal assessment and information provided by our suppliers, NXP identified 101 suppliers who provided materials likely to incorporate Covered Minerals necessary to the functionality of our Semiconductor Products (the “Covered Minerals Suppliers”). Semiconductor Products include all semiconductor devices sold to our customers for incorporation into end-market applications. We received valid responses from all 101 Covered Minerals Suppliers that supply materials to our Semiconductor Products. Certain suppliers who only provided materials incorporated into certain Innovation Tool products did not provide a valid reply to our request to identify the smelters and refiners of Covered Minerals in their supply chain. Innovation Tools include hardware products designed for customer evaluations or research and development and represent an immaterial amount of NXP product revenues. Innovation Tools are not intended to be incorporated into our customers’ products.
This Report reflects 101 valid responses from NXP Covered Minerals Suppliers. These 101 suppliers represent 99.9% of the amount NXP paid to all Covered Minerals Suppliers in 2017 (including non-responsive Innovation Tool suppliers).
Based on the information provided by our suppliers and information otherwise obtained through the due diligence process, NXP has reasonably determined that the facilities that may have been used to process NXP’s Covered Minerals in 2017 include the smelters and refiners (SORs) listed in Annex I.
Based on information received through the RMI RMAP or equivalent independent third-party audit programs as of May 04, 2018, and information otherwise obtained through our research, NXP has reason to believe the countries of origin for the Covered Minerals contained in the materials received by our Covered Minerals Suppliers include the countries listed in Annex II.
We identified 247 SORs for the Covered Minerals in our supply chain. These 247 SORs were compliant with a third-party audit program (Conformant). Among these 247 SORs, 22 were reported as sourcing Covered Minerals from the DRC Region; all 22 were compliant with the RMI RMAP assessment protocols.

NXP identified zero high-risk SORs (either not validated or in the process of becoming compliant with a third party audit program). We identified 71 medium-risk SORs (validated with unknown sourcing region) and 176 SORs were considered low-risk (validated with sourcing location confirmed).
Additional Measures
NXP intends to continue taking the following steps this year to improve its due diligence measures and to further mitigate the risk that NXP’s use of Covered Minerals might finance or benefit armed groups:
| • | Update the list of products and Covered Minerals Suppliers to be included in NXP’s due diligence process for the 2018 reporting year; |
| • | Re-engage each Covered Minerals Supplier to obtain current and accurate information about the supplier’s supply chain of Covered Minerals; |
| • | Execute NXP’s escalation procedure with each Covered Minerals Supplier that (i) is non-responsive to requests for information or (ii) does not have systems in place to ensure sourcing of materials that comply with a third-party audit program; |
| • | Assist suppliers in due diligence activities or education; and |
| • | Participate in industry initiatives encouraging “conflict-free” supply chains and identifying “conflict-free” smelters and refiners, including initiatives to add cobalt and other minerals to the scope. |
| • | Review due diligence measures to evaluate whether appropriate to (i) incorporate recent responsible sourcing developments and insights and (ii) include additional minerals and countries of origin. |
