_____________________________
2014 CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
This Conflict Minerals Report of SanDisk Corporation (together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, “SanDisk,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for calendar year 2014 has been prepared in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”). Numerous terms used but not defined in this report have the meanings assigned to them in Rule 13p-1 and Form SD under the Act.
In accordance with Rule 13p-1, we undertook efforts to determine whether the tungsten, tin, tantalum and gold (collectively, the “conflict minerals”) that are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by us or contracted by us to be manufactured (“necessary conflict minerals”) in calendar year 2014 were sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries, as designated by the U.S. Secretary of State (collectively, the “covered countries”), and, if so, whether such necessary conflict minerals directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the covered countries. We designed our efforts to be in conformity, in all materials respects, with the internationally recognized due diligence framework set forth in The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Second Edition (the “OECD Framework”) and the related supplements for each of the conflict minerals.
SanDisk is a global leader in flash storage solutions with a strong history of innovative products. Our products include flash storage solutions for enterprise data centers and client computing platforms, as well as removable and embedded flash products for mobile devices, cameras, computing devices, automotive, connected home electronics and other applications. Most of our products are made by combining NAND flash memory with a controller and firmware, as well as numerous other components, all of which, other than firmware, may contain conflict minerals or utilize conflict minerals in the production process. As a “downstream” purchaser, we are many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals. We buy electronic components and mechanical parts (collectively, “parts”) for integration into the products we sell to our customers. We do not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and conduct no purchasing activities directly in the covered countries.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
In our efforts to determine whether, for calendar year 2014, any necessary conflict minerals originated in the covered countries or are from recycled or scrap sources, we performed, in good faith, a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”). To determine which suppliers to include in our RCOI, we identified the manufacturing suppliers of parts within our products that contain or may contain necessary conflict minerals. We then requested each of these suppliers to provide us with conflict minerals data using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template published by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”).
In their responses to us, suppliers identified various smelters processing tin, tungsten and tantalum and refiners processing gold (collectively, “smelters”) as facilities that may have processed conflict minerals for our products. We then compiled and reviewed this data and, in doing so, compared the data to lists published by the CFSI of smelters that have been found by the CFSI to be compliant with CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program assessment protocols, are in progress toward compliance or are otherwise actively participating in the program (collectively, the “CFSI List”), as well as the Good Delivery List published by the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”).
Based on our RCOI, we had reason to believe that the necessary conflict minerals may have originated in the covered countries and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, we performed due diligence on our supply chain for calendar year 2014, as described in further detail below.
Supply Chain Due Diligence
We designed our supply chain due diligence measures for calendar year 2014 based on the OECD Framework and related supplements in an effort to determine, to the best of our ability, the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals for our products and, if any necessary conflict minerals originated in a covered country, whether armed groups directly or indirectly benefitted as a result. Our due diligence measures included, among others, the following:
| |
• | Governance Structure. Our compliance with Rule 13p-1was overseen by an internal, cross-functional team that included representatives from our operations, finance, legal, internal audit and risk management organizations. Working group members reported to our Executive Steering Committee, which in turn reported to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, status updates on our due diligence program and compliance with Rule 13p-1. |
| |
• | Data Assessment Procedures. As part of our RCOI, we requested suppliers to provide information at a company, product category and product-specific level. We tracked supplier responses to our RCOI and reviewed and validated information provided by suppliers using our data management system. We enhanced our data collection and analysis, including through the initial implementation of a third-party conflict minerals data management system. In reviewing supplier responses, we assessed the reasonableness of the information that we received based on factors such as the completeness and quality of the response and noted any “red flags.” We followed up with relevant suppliers, in some cases second-tier suppliers, and industry sources, as needed, to obtain initial responses, additional data and clarifications. |
| |
• | Smelter Validation. We validated smelters identified by our suppliers against the CFSI List and the LBMA’s Good Delivery List. We categorized the smelters into the following categories: |
| |
(1) | Compliant. The smelter is either: (a) part of the Conflict-Free Smelter Program, has completed an audit commissioned by the CFSI and has demonstrated that all the conflict minerals processed by the smelter originated from conflict-free sources (“CFSI-compliant”); or (b) accredited by the LBMA (“LBMA-accredited”). |
| |
(2) | Validated. CFSI has assigned the smelter an identification number, validating that the smelter exists, but the smelter is neither CFSI-compliant nor LBMA-accredited. |
| |
(3) | Other. The smelter is not on either the CFSI List or the LBMA’s Good Delivery List and further diligence is needed. |
| |
• | Conflict Minerals Policy. We have a Conflict Minerals Policy that we expect suppliers of production materials, components and manufacturing services throughout our supply chain to support. Our Conflict Minerals Policy is publicly available on our website at http://www.sandisk.com/about-sandisk/corporate-responsibility/social/. |
| |
• | Supplier Code of Conduct. Our Supplier Code of Conduct includes guidelines related to responsible sourcing of conflict minerals modeled after the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) Code of Conduct. Our Supplier Code of Conduct is publicly available on our website at http://www.sandisk.com/about-sandisk/supplier-management/. |
| |
• | Internal Training. We provided internal training to personnel in relevant business functions, including operations, research and development, finance, legal, internal audit and risk management, on conflict minerals and compliance with Rule 13p-1. We developed and implemented an internal online tool to ensure standardized and comprehensive conflict minerals training for such personnel. |
| |
• | Industry Group Participation. As a member of the EICC, we worked with industry groups focused on advancing social responsibility and promoting the sourcing of conflict-free minerals and engaged regularly with our industry peers in order to further develop and better implement standards, tools and best practices relating to conflict minerals. We were actively involved in the CFSI, with certain SanDisk personnel serving as members on the CFSI’s Smelter Engagement Team and Due Diligence Practices Team. |
DRC Conflict Status
Based on our due diligence efforts described above, we were unable to determine that the necessary conflict minerals did not originate in the covered countries or did not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the covered countries. Accordingly, we have concluded that, for calendar year 2014, all of the products manufactured by us or contracted by us to be manufactured are DRC conflict undeterminable.
Product Descriptions
We identified the following products manufactured by us or contracted by us to be manufactured in 2014 that may contain necessary conflict minerals:
| |
• | Removable Cards: Removable flash cards designed for use in a variety of applications and consumer devices, including digital cameras, camcorders, mobile products such as smartphones, tablets and eReaders, as well as in automobiles, connected home electronics and other applications |
| |
• | Embedded Products: Embedded flash products designed for use in mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, wearable devices, automobiles, connected home electronics and various other applications, including our iNAND™ embedded flash product line, our multi-chip packages solutions and custom embedded solutions |
| |
• | Client Solid State Drives: Solid state drives for client computing applications, which encompass desktop computers, notebook computers, tablets and other computing devices |
| |
• | Enterprise Solid State Drives: Enterprise solid state drives used in high-capacity and/or high-performance data storage applications and encompassing all major storage interface protocols, including Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), Serial ATA (SATA) and Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) |
| |
• | USB Flash Drives: USB flash drives used in computing and consumer devices |
| |
• | Digital Media Players and Wireless Drives: Flash-based digital media players and wireless media and flash drive products |
| |
• | Wafers and Components: Flash memory wafers and memory components that we sell to customers who package the memory under their own brands or embed the memory in other products |
Facility Information
Smelters identified to us by our suppliers as facilities that may have processed necessary conflict minerals for our products and that we have categorized as either “compliant” or “validated,” as described above, as well as the countries from aggregate lists of countries from which these smelters collectively source conflict minerals, to the extent such detailed sourcing information has been reported to the CFSI, are listed in Appendix A hereto. Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the necessary conflict minerals in our products with the greatest possible specificity consisted of the due diligence measures described in this report. In particular, as the CFSI, through its Conflict-Free Smelter Program, assesses whether sufficient evidence exists regarding the mine or location of origin of the conflict minerals processed by smelters in the program, we have relied upon the smelter information made available by the CFSI.
Further Mitigating Steps
To further mitigate the risk that our necessary conflict minerals benefit armed groups in the covered countries and to improve our due diligence processes, we have taken or intend to take the following steps in calendar year 2015:
| |
• | Continued Supplier Engagement. We continue to engage with suppliers to improve supplier response rates and the accuracy, specificity and completeness of information provided by them. We also continue to impress upon them the importance of sourcing conflict minerals responsibly and garner their efforts to transition to CFSI-compliant or LBMA-accredited smelters. Through such efforts, we aim to ultimately encourage smelters to achieve and maintain compliance with the Conflict-Free Smelter Program or accreditation from the LBMA. We continue to require supplier compliance with our Conflict Minerals Policy and our Supplier Code of Conduct. |
| |
• | Enhanced Data Management Systems. We are further enhancing our conflict minerals data collection and analysis by, among other things, implementing additional functionality in our third-party conflict minerals data management system. |
| |
• | Ongoing Smelter Validation. We continue to compare and validate the information we have received from suppliers against updated information collected via the Conflict-Free Smelter Program, as well as the LBMA’s Good Delivery List. |
| |
• | Continued Industry Collaboration. We continue to participate with the CFSI in creating industry-wide mechanisms relating to conflict minerals compliance using collaborative and collective measures, as well as continue to collaborate with industry peers to improve the systems of transparency and control in our common supply chains. We benchmark our conflict minerals practices against those of our industry peers as they evolve to determine best practices and make further improvements. |
