1. | Establish strong company management systems: |
a. | Publicly communicate our conflict minerals sourcing policy on our corporate website. Please see Section D of our Supply Chain Product Regulatory Compliance page at www.kla-tencor.com/company/supply-chain-product-regulatory-compliance.html. The content of any website referred to in this Conflict Minerals Report is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Conflict Minerals Report or in KLA-Tencor’s Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD. |
b. | Operate an internal conflict minerals team led by our Corporate Procurement organization and supported by a cross-departmental team consisting of representatives of a number of internal groups, including Corporate Product Regulatory Compliance, Internal Audit, Finance, Legal, Information Technology and Global Operations, as well as third-party service providers. |
c. | Hold regular meetings of our internal conflict minerals team and provide quarterly summaries of the status of the conflict minerals program to our senior management. Our senior management, in turn, reports the results to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. |
d. | Use recognized due diligence tools created by the CFSI in the evaluation of supplier responses regarding smelters and refiners of necessary conflict minerals that may be used in our products. |
e. | Incorporate supply chain regulatory compliance requirements into our standard template for supplier contracts so that suppliers comply with our policy on conflict minerals. |
f. | Retain records in accordance with our internal record retention policy. |
g. | Establish a hotline and website for use by employees, as well as third parties such as suppliers and customers, to report actual or suspected wrongdoing or other grievances and answer questions about business conduct, including reports or questions regarding our use of conflict minerals. The hotline and website are both operated by an independent third party, which provides tools to enable individuals to submit reports in a number of different languages and, where permitted by law, on an anonymous basis. |
2. | Identify and assess risks in our supply chain: |
a. | Identify the suppliers that provide components that potentially incorporate conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of our products that we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture. |
b. | Contact the suppliers of components that potentially contain conflict minerals and use the Template to capture the suppliers’ responses. |
c. | Use reasonable efforts to determine the country of origin of the necessary conflict minerals used in the components our suppliers provided to us that are incorporated into the products that we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, during the reporting period. |
d. | Contact the suppliers that did not respond to the Template request and request their responses. |
e. | Conduct due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals in our products that we had reason to believe may have originated from the Covered Countries and may not have come from scrap or recycled sources. |
f. | Compare responses provided against the list of facilities that have received a “conflict free” designation from the CFSP. |
g. | Document the country of origin information for the smelters and refiners identified by the supply chain responses using CFSI data. |
3. | Design and Implement a strategy to respond to identified risks: |
a. | Verify smelters and refiners identified in response to the Template against the CFSI list provided as part of our membership in the CFSI. |
b. | Report our findings to senior management, outlining the information gathered and the actual and potential identified risks and any required action plans. The action plans will vary depending on the results of our due diligence efforts and the risks identified in any particular year. |
c. | Implement required action plans and report results to senior management. |
4. | Independent third party audits of smelters and refiners sourcing: |
a. | Participate in the CFSI and rely upon the CFSI to perform audits of smelters and refiners, and certify them as conflict-free. |
b. | Provide to CFSI the smelters and refiners identified by our suppliers that are not on the CFSI list. |
5. | Report on supply chain due diligence: |
a. | Report to the SEC annually our supply chain due diligence on a Form SD and conflict minerals report. |
b. | Publicly communicate our Form SD and conflict minerals report on our website at http://ir.kla-tencor.com/sec.cfm. |
