Company and Product Overview
We are a leading innovator of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display(“TFT-LCD”) technology and other display panel technologies, including organic light-emitting diode (“OLED”) technology. We manufacture and sell display panels in a broad range of sizes and specifications primarily toend-brand customers who incorporate our display panels as component parts in the manufacture and assembly of televisions, notebook computers, desktop monitors, tablet computers and mobile and other application products. We also manufacture and sell OLED light panels. 3TG minerals are commonly used in electronic products in general, and we have determined that they are necessary to the functionality of our display panels and light panels, which consist of thousands of component parts and raw materials, including circuit components such as chips, wires and electrodes that are coated using 3TG minerals, and transparent electrodes for which 3TG minerals are a key material.
For additional information about our business in general, please refer to our most recent annual report on Form20-F for the year ended 2016 filed with the SEC on April 28, 2017.
Conflict Minerals Policy
As a responsible corporate citizen, we believe in ethical sourcing and have formulated and announced a conflict minerals policy (our “Policy”), which is to eliminate from our products the use of 3TG minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (together, the “Covered Countries”). Our current Policy is publicly available on our website at www.lgdisplay.com/eng/sustainability/safetyEnvironment/conflictMinerals/policy and serves as a common reference point for all our suppliers and us internally.
Results of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
As required under Rule13p-1, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) with respect to 3TG minerals contained in our products manufactured in 2016. We believe our RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any 3TG minerals contained in our products originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.
Based on our RCOI, and as described further below, although we did not find any indication that the 3TG minerals necessary to the functionality of our products originated from a Covered Country, we concluded that we had insufficient information to determine that there was no reason to believe that the 3TG minerals necessary to the functionality of our products may have originated from a Covered Country or were not from recycled or scrap sources.
Source and Chain of Custody Due Diligence
Given the results of our RCOI, we engaged in additional due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TG minerals necessary to the functionality of our products. As further described below, our due diligence conformed in all material respects to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Second Edition) and related Supplements (“OECD Guidance”) for downstream companies.
2
As an integral part of our source and chain of custody due diligence, we have conducted supply chain surveys by requesting that our suppliers of component parts and raw materials used in our products (the “Covered Suppliers”) fill out the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), an initiative founded by members of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and the Globale-Sustainability Initiative. The Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) of the CFSI uses an independent third-party audit to identify smelters and refiners that have systems in place to assure sourcing of only minerals not benefitting armed groups in the Covered Countries. Further, we have requested certifications from each Covered Supplier regarding the truthfulness of its CMRT responses.
Company Management System
Our senior management established a 3TG minerals task force consisting of managerial level employees from our Purchasing Planning Team, Legal Department and Investor Relations Team along with outside consultants (the “Task Force”) to take the lead in formulating our Policy, implementing our Policy with our suppliers and us internally and conducting due diligence on our supply chain based on the OECD Guidance. The Task Force assigned roles and responsibilities to relevant internal teams and departments to implement our Policy and established a process for monitoring 3TG minerals in our supply chain.
Further to our efforts to more accurately identify the use of 3TG minerals in our supply chain, we implemented a conflict minerals management system (our “System”) for the overall management and coordination of our processes related to 3TG minerals, including verification of supplier data, immediate risk assessments and analyses of 3TG minerals usage statistics. The implementation of our System has enabled us to categorize and monitor our 3TG minerals usage by buyer and model, on a real-time basis, and to track 3TG minerals throughout our supply chain.
In 2014, the continuing roles and responsibilities of the Task Force were transferred to the Purchasing Group. Within the Purchasing Group, the Purchasing Planning Team sets overall strategy and response processes, and the frontline purchasing teams obtain and verify data from our suppliers. Our chief production officer and the head of the Purchasing Group review monthly status reports and remain highly involved in the management of our System, as does our chief executive officer who is briefed with status updates periodically.
In 2013 and 2014, we engaged with senior management and working level personnel of our direct Covered Suppliers as well as second- and third-tier suppliers to raise awareness of regulations applicable to the sourcing of 3TG minerals and to educate them on our Policy, as well as to share policy guidelines and updates on conflict minerals management in an effort to facilitate compliance on their part. Since 2015, we have conducted additional supplier education outreach to suppliers for whom we deemed such additional outreach was necessary.
The implementation of our System and our supplier education efforts have also contributed to the reliability and accuracy of the information we are able to garner from and about our supply chain. In their 2013 CMRT responses, our Covered Suppliers had listed a total of approximately 500 entities as smelters or refiners from which 3TG minerals were sourced, and we faced many challenges in identifying the smelters and refiners so listed because either we could not locate or otherwise verify the listed entity or the listed entity was located but was found not to be a smelter or refiner. In 2014, as a result of additional verification efforts by us and our suppliers, including direct communications with listed entities and requests forproduct-by-product level CMRT responses from our suppliers, we were able to rationalize the list to 247 smelters and refiners that we believed were operational and still in our supply chain as of December 31, 2014. In 2015, we were able to identify 182 smelters and refiners that we believed were operational and still in our supply chain as of December 31, 2015. In 2016, we were able to identify 244 smelters and refiners that we believed were operational and still in our supply chain as of December 31, 2016.
3
We have continued in our efforts to identify and monitor smelters and refiners and encourage them to receive verification as independently audited under the CFSP of the CFSI. We have also established an action plan to address unaudited smelters and refiners; to improve the integrity and accuracy of the information in our 3TG minerals database; and to hedge our exposure to operational risks associated with 3TG minerals.
In furtherance of our Policy, we require all of our suppliers to agree to terms that reflect our Policy. In the case of Covered Suppliers who responded that they do not use 3TG minerals or that they source from smelters or refiners that have been verified as compliant with the CFSP’s assessment protocols (“CFSP-compliant”), we require that they covenant not to use 3TG minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. We have also developed a supplier code of conduct and we encourage our suppliers to formulate their own 3TG policies and identify all smelters and refiners that supply 3TG minerals in their supply chains. To encourage compliance with our Policy, we have also made the reporting center, including the cyber reporting center, of our Administrative Office of Ethics available to our employees, suppliers and other stakeholders to report any alleged violations of our Policy on a confidential basis. In addition, with a view to efficiently and practically address applicable regulations, we continue to attend governmental andnon-governmental forums and conferences, and actively participate in a consultation committee with our affiliates, LG Electronics, LG Chem and LG Innotek.
Supply Chain Risk Identification and Assessment
In their CMRT responses, our Covered Suppliers identified smelters and refiners that they listed as sources for the 3TG minerals contained in the component parts and raw materials they supply. We further checked whether any of these smelters or refiners were located in or near Covered Countries or areas suspected of transporting or sourcing 3TG minerals from Covered Countries. We utilized our System to perform immediate risk assessments on our Covered Suppliers’ 3TG mineral information and informed our Covered Suppliers of applicable risks. We continue to monitor the risk hedging activities of our Covered Suppliers.
Based on their CMRT responses, we assessed the risk associated with the Covered Suppliers, smelters and refiners and categorized each Covered Supplier into one of the following three categories:
| • | No Risk: Supplier either (i) reported no 3TG minerals are contained in component parts or raw materials it supplies or (ii) reported it sources 3TG minerals only from CFSP-compliant smelters and refiners, and confirmed such 3TG minerals do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. |
4
| • | Low Risk: Supplier reported it sources 3TG minerals only from CFSP-compliant smelters but did not provide separate confirmation that such 3TG minerals do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. |
| • | High Risk: Supplier reported it sources 3TG minerals from smelters and refiners that were not independently audited under the CFSP. |
Response Strategy to Identified Risk
To address the identified risks, we established a risk hedging plan with respect to suppliers in the High Risk category. Pursuant to the risk hedging plan, we instructed suppliers within the High Risk category to adhere to the following alternatives:
| • | Require thenon-compliant smelter or refiner to be independently audited under the CFSP; |
| • | Reroute sourcing of 3TG minerals to CFSP-compliant smelters and refiners; |
| • | Eliminate from their supply chain smelters or refiners that were not CFSP-compliant; or |
| • | Reroute sourcing toup-stream suppliers that source only from CFSP-compliant smelters and refiners. |
We have historically selected suppliers which were in the High Risk category for additional due diligence. The selection criteria for these suppliers also included whether the supplier had a 3TG minerals policy of its own, the importance of the supplier to our production process (in terms of proportion of purchases), the extent to which the supplier sourced 3TG minerals from smelters and refiners that were not independently audited under the CFSP, the geographic location of the supplier and the geographic location of the smelters and refiners identified by the supplier. We have conductedon-site due diligence of these selected suppliers and examined their 3TG minerals management levels by reviewing the CMRT responses, 3TG minerals policies and internal processes of theirup-stream suppliers. We have engaged in additional training and education with these selected suppliers on applicable regulations and how to improve their 3TG minerals management and we have assessed their improvements and grievances.
Third-party Independent Audit of Supply Chain
As a downstream company, there are many steps in the supply chain separating us from the mines, smelters and refiners that source the 3TG minerals contained in our products. With respect to smelters and refiners known to be in our supply chain, we make reference to independent third-party audits used by the CFSP to identify smelters and refiners that have systems in place to assure sourcing of only minerals not benefitting armed groups in the Covered Countries.We have not obtained an independent third-party audit of our own supply chain.
We will continue to support private and public efforts to encourage sourcing of 3TG minerals not benefitting armed groups in the Covered Countries.

Results of Source and Chain of Custody Due Diligence
We obtained CMRT responses from 100% of our approximately 280 Covered Suppliers, excluding suppliers no longer in our supply chain, as of December 31, 2016. We assessed the conformity and reliability of these CMRT responses, conducted risk analyses and compliance improvement activities, and provided regular progress updates to our chief executive officer and other relevant members of management. In addition, we implemented strict limitations on authorizing transactions with new suppliers where risks materialized. We believe that these efforts have driven the following results.
Based on the CMRT responses provided by our Covered Suppliers and our further due diligence to confirm the usage of 3TG minerals within our supply chain, we identified a total of 244 entities as smelters or refiners from which 3TG minerals were sourced. Of the 244 smelters and refiners we identified in 2016, 243 were independently audited under the CFSP and designated as “compliant,” one was progressing towards completion of an independent audit under the CFSP and designated as “active” and there were no smelters or refiners that were not independently audited under the CFSP(“non-participating”).
As a result of our source and chain of custody due diligence for the year ended December 31, 2016, we were able to confirm that 100% of the tantalum, tin and tungsten smelters and 99.0% of the gold smelters known to be in our supply chain as of December 31, 2016 were CFSP-compliant. In addition, none of the smelters or refiners in our supply chain as of December 31, 2016 were determined to be“non-participating” smelters or refiners. We therefore found no reasonable basis for concluding that our sourcing of 3TG minerals necessary to the functionality of our products directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups in the Covered Countries.
The following table sets forth the number of smelters and refiners in our supply chain by CFSP status and type of mineral.

Based on the information provided by our suppliers and our own due diligence efforts with known smelters and refiners through December 31, 2016, we believe that the facilities that may have been used to process the 3TG minerals in our products include the smelters and refiners listed in Annex I below.
Future Measures
As a responsible corporate citizen, in 2017, we will continue to seek to source all 3TG minerals in our supply chain from smelters and refiners that are CFSP-compliant or that have otherwise been verified under an independent third-party audit as sourcing only minerals not benefitting armed groups in the Covered Countries, and we intend to do so through the following measures:
| • | Continue conducting due diligence of our supply chain and educating and training our Covered Suppliers in order to drive proactive measures by such suppliers; |
| • | Pursue voluntary participation in the CFSP by more smelters and refiners; |
| • | Continue information sharing and collaborative efforts with governmental andnon-governmental entities and academia; and |
| • | Aim to eliminate from our supply chain and products the use of not only 3TG minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries, but also minerals from other conflict regions or regions where human rights violations are occurring. |
