Part 2: Due Diligence Design and Measures Performed
Kyocera undertook due diligence measures to reduce the risk of funding armed groups in the DRC Countries from its supply chain in accordance with Rule13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Design of Due Diligence
Kyocera designed due diligence in conformity with the internationally recognized due diligence framework set forth in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition (2016), and related supplements therein.
1
Due Diligence Measures Performed
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
(1) Conflict Minerals Policy
Kyocera’s basic policy in its purchasing activities is to conduct fair trades based on the “Kyocera Philosophy.” In terms of a specific procurement policy, the “Kyocera Supply-Chain CSR Deployment Guideline*” is provided to and shared with suppliers. The guideline is also disclosed on it’s website.
Kyocera’s policy is not to purchase conflict minerals or materials and products using metals made from conflict minerals which may serve as funding sources for armed groups committing human rights violations in DRC Countries.

(2) Internal Organization
Kyocera established the “Kyocera Conflict Minerals Committee” (the Committee) in 2013 as a structure with the primary role of implementing the above policy related to conflict minerals. The Committee decides on the fundamental method of investigating conflict minerals within Kyocera and the content of information for disclosure. The Committee also reports the details of these activities to management in a timely and appropriate manner. In addition, the Committee builds awareness of regulations and policies related to conflict minerals among subsidiaries and takes responsibility for promoting adequate initiatives concerning conflict minerals throughout the Kyocera Group companies.
The Committee is comprised of a Corporate Officer or General Manager from the relevant divisions or departments such as purchasing, investor relations, general affairs, internal audit and legal affairs.
The Committee has also established the Administrative Team of Conflict Minerals Committee (the Team) comprised of the aforementioned divisional representatives as a subordinate structure. The Team liaises with the person in charge of the purchasing division in each subsidiary and makes individual response related to conflict minerals surveys and information disclosure.
In order to ascertain risks in responding to conflict minerals, the Committee acts as the point of contact for stakeholders and purchasing divisions. It also has the role of responding to complaints and whistleblower reports related to conflict minerals collected through an internal whistleblower system.
The Committee entrusts authority for such activities at AVX to an internal structure within AVX with a system set up for receiving timely reports on the results of these activities.
(3) External Framework for Cooperation with Supply Chain Management
Kyocera seeks to advance partnerships and cooperation with industry organizations to enable an adequate system of cooperation with outside entities regarding conflict minerals. Specifically, Kyocera has participated in the “Responsible Minerals Trade Working Group” established within the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) as a principal member since its inauguration in order to realize responsible minerals procurement and meet regulations related to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act enacted in the United States.
At the “Responsible Minerals Trade Working Group,” Kyocera helps to identify and respond to challenges in surveys as well as conduct survey briefing sessions among other cooperative activities. Kyocera also served as an instructor and provided instructions at conflict minerals survey briefing sessions held by JEITA in June 2016. In these and other ways, Kyocera has dedicated itself to contribute to better understanding of conflict minerals activities.
(4) Engagement with Suppliers
Kyocera requests of suppliers that transactions are to be conducted in accordance with its Supply-Chain CSR Deployment Guidelines, and requests compliance from suppliers to deal with conflict minerals.
Kyocera has conducted briefing sessions for suppliers both in Japan and overseas with the aims of explaining its conflict minerals policy and requesting cooperation on the survey by using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the Template) prior to conducting it. From April to July 2016, Kyocera held briefing sessions and workshops in Japan, China and Vietnam, where the Kyocera’s suppliers are concentrated. A total of four briefing sessions were held in Tokyo and Kyoto for suppliers with representatives from 146 companies in attendance. Workshops were also held in China and Vietnam for Kyocera employees in charge of handling the conflict minerals survey to strengthen Kyocera’s internal framework.
2
Step 2: Identify and assess risk in the supply chain
In the 2016 survey, Kyocera made efforts to enhance the survey collection rate by prompting suppliers yet to complete the survey to do so by the end of the Template submission due date.
Kyocera examined and confirmed instances ofnon-conformity and contradiction in content by using a statistical tool released by the Japan Auto Parts Industries Association (JAPIA) on its website. Subsequently, Kyocera compared smelters or refiners identified through the survey against the Compliant Smelters and Refiners Lists published by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) to determine whether the identified smelters/refiners have obtained CFS validation.
Kyocera participated in the process of identifying smelters/refiners by submitting data on smelters/refiners that cannot be identified to the “Conflict Free Sourcing (CFS) Working Group.” The CFS Working Group was established by the industry organizations Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA), JAPIA and JEITA to collaborate in dealing with conflict minerals issues.
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Kyocera requested additional surveys including interviews and reinvestigation as well as improvement from “critical suppliers” who responded that they use conflict minerals from DRC Countries and suppliers who responded that they have not yet completed the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI). In cases where these suppliers do not meet our requirements, or a supplier is deemed to pose a significant risk, Kyocera will require them to sign a letter of commitment that states they will comply with Kyocera’s conflict minerals policy. Kyocera’s policy is to discontinue or cease doing business with suppliers who refuse to sign the agreement or who have not made visible improvements to alleviate risk. Further, Kyocera belongs to a team, formed by JEITA, which assists smelters, and conducts outreach activities directly urging smelters to obtain CFS validation.
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain
Kyocera uses the CFS program for due diligence in the supply chain. JEITA participates and collaborates with the CFSI, and Kyocera cooperates with the CFSI as a principal member of JEITA. Kyocera also makes use of the CFS program coordinated by the CFSI to determine whether or not smelters within its supply chain have completed or have committed to undergo an audit.
Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence
Kyocera will file the Form SD along with this Conflict Minerals Report*, its accompanying document, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and disclose it publicly through the Company’s website.

Part 3: Result of Due Diligence Measures Performed
Kyocera has concluded that it is possible that conflict minerals are being used in its products as it cannot confirm whether or not the minerals originate from DRC Countries due to the fact that it was not possible to obtain sufficient information from the relevant suppliers.
Kyocera reconciled the smelters and refiners reported in the Template prepared by suppliers with those in “the Standard Smelter Names” released by the CFSI, and Kyocera has identified the following facilities of 3TG in its supply chain.

Part 4: Future Due Diligence Measures
Kyocera is unable to determine whether or not 3TG, which may be used to manufacture Kyocera’s manufactured or distributed products, are DRC conflict free. Therefore, the products in scope of survey are considered to be DRC conflict undeterminable. Kyocera is making this determination because it does not have sufficient information from suppliers or other sources to conclude whether the necessary conflict minerals originated in DRC Countries and, if so, whether the necessary conflict minerals were from recycled or scrap sources, were DRC conflict free or have not been found to be DRC conflict free.
Kyocera will continue to make efforts to determine the mine(s) or location of origin with the greatest possible specificity including the use of the due diligence measures described above.
