SigmaTron International, Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2015
This Conflict Minerals Report of SigmaTron International, Inc. (herein referred to as "we," "our" or "us") (this "CMR") is presented in compliance with Rule 13p-1 ("Rule 13p-1") of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") for the year ended December 31, 2015. Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions to the terms used in this CMR, unless otherwise defined herein.
Our Due Diligence Process
1. | Establish strong company management systems |
a. | We have a Conflict Minerals Policy. It is distributed to necessary internal personnel as well as to all suppliers for the purpose of determining their compliance with Rule 13p-1. In addition, the Conflict Minerals Policy is posted on our website and can be accessed at the following location: |
http://sigmatronintl.com/wpcontent/uploads/2013/02/SGMA_Conflict_Minerals_Policy.pdf
b. | A cross-functional team of senior staff under the Vice President of Materials is charged with overseeing our compliance with Rule 13p-1 and our responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals. This team consists of people from Quality, Purchasing and Materials Management, Information Technology and Finance. We utilize legal counsel to assist us with our compliance. |
c. | We have a records retention policy providing for the maintenance on a computerized database of business records relating to Conflict Minerals due diligence, including records of findings, for at least seven years. |
2. Identify and assess risk in the supply chain
a. | We survey our supply chain to gather information and confirm whether Conflict Minerals used in our products are procured from the Covered Countries. This survey was conducted using the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) Reporting Template (the “Template”), developed jointly by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition ("EICC") and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative ("GeSI"). |
b. | Utilizing the Template, a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) (see below for additional information regarding our RCOI process) was conducted across our supply chain to determine the 1
|
sourcing of the Conflict Minerals used in our products. To date, we have received responses from approximately 97% of our supply chain. Of the responses we have received, approximately 15% of our suppliers are reporting DRC conflict undeterminable and approximately 85% of our suppliers are reporting DRC conflict free. |
c. | We compiled a list of all smelters and refiners used by our suppliers that have provided responses, including all smelters and refiners which have not completed certification under the EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Smelter program. 453 unique, smelters or refiners were reported by our suppliers. Of these 453 smelters and refiners, 294 are certified as "conflict free" by the EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Smelter program. After reviewing the 2015 interim and 2016 final reports by the UN Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of Congo and other publications, we found no reasonable basis for concluding that the uncertified smelters and refiners sourced Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups, however we cannot say with certainty that the uncertified smelters and refiners are DRC conflict free. |
d. | In light of the responses that we have not yet received from our suppliers, in light of the approximately 15% of our suppliers reporting DRC conflict undeterminable, and in light of the 159 uncertified smelters and refiners, in general our supply chain remains DRC conflict undeterminable at this time. |
e. | In the future, we intend to complete the collection of all survey responses from our suppliers. Additionally, we will continue to assess our suppliers with respect to our compliance requirements referenced above. |
f. | We have instituted policies and procedures requiring suppliers to provide affirmative notification if they begin sourcing Conflict Minerals from any facilities which have not been identified as "conflict free" by the EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Smelter Program. We have included Conflict Minerals flow-down clauses in all new and renewing supplier contracts. And, we are working with trade associations and industry groups to continuously improve our due diligence and best practices. |
3. Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
a. | Risk mitigation includes follow-up with the supplier, supplier support or education and putting the supplier on a “do not buy” list. If any supplier still does not comply, increasing levels of escalation will be done by specified internal personnel and our customer in the event we are directed to source from the supplier by the customer. Risk mitigation allows for a flexible response that is commensurate with the risks identified. |
b. | As part of our risk mitigation we have recommunicated to any supplier who is not compliant that they must submit responses and become compliant. These suppliers are told that they must (i) familiarize themselves and comply with the regulations set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act; (ii) implement Conflict Mineral policies that are consistent with our policy; (iii) provide us with all necessary declarations; (iv) pass all of the requirements set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act on to their supply chain if they don't source directly from smelters or refiners; (v) determine the source of the Conflict Minerals they use; and (vi) maintain reviewable business records for not less than seven (7) years supporting the source of Conflict Minerals. We affirmatively notified suppliers that those who are found to be non-compliant to the requirements imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act and our policy shall be reviewed to determine suitability for future business. |
2
4. Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain
a. | In connection with our due diligence, we utilize information made available by the CFSI concerning independent third-party audits of smelters and refiners. We believe that our utilization of CFSI data is the most effective method. |
b. | The use of the Template provided by EICC/GeSI and our other due diligence steps conform in material aspects to the standards set forth by the second edition of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD 2011). |
5. Report on supply chain due diligence
We report on our supply chain due diligence through our Form SD filings, and the related Conflict Minerals Reports.
Product Description/Overview
We manufacture electronic assemblies made up of printed circuit boards, semiconductors and passive electronic components soldered together utilizing tin-based alloys for a wide variety of customers that use electronics in the products they design, manufacture and sell. Our customers serve many different indus- tries. Most of the electronic components we purchase to build the assemblies we manufacture contain one or more of the Conflict Minerals.
As a result of the aforementioned in-depth due diligence measures, we have determined that, in general, our products are DRC conflict undeterminable. Based on lack of information from a small portion of our suppliers, based on our suppliers which have provided a DRC conflict undeterminable response, and based on the uncertified smelters and refiners, at this time we cannot identify whether any of the Conflict Minerals contained in our products originated in the Covered Countries and, if so, whether such Conflict Minerals were from recycle or scrap sources, were DRC conflict free or have not been found to be DRC conflict free.
Based on the responses received from our suppliers to-date, the following is a list of smelter facilities and associated countries used to process the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products.

Our approach to the RCOI for where the mines are located is as follows.
For products manufactured during the 2015 reporting period, we performed an RCOI on our Conflict Minerals. We utilized the CFSI’s CMRT Template to ask suppliers from what smelters they get the identified Conflict Minerals in the products they supply to us. After collecting these responses to our CMRT queries from suppliers, we evaluated the responses for completeness and accuracy. We engaged in follow-up communications with suppliers as appropriate.
From all this information and with the information provided on the CFSI website, we learned that the CFSI and the smelters generally consider the names and locations of the mines confidential. Because of that we have not determined in what specific countries the mines are located. However, the 294 smelters that are certified as "conflict free" by the EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Smelter program, are getting their ores from mines that are not contributing to conflict. We will continue to work with our supply chain to get the non-certified smelters to meet the same conflict free criteria.
The statements above are based on our due diligence and available information. A number of factors could affect our conclusions, including: gaps in supplier and/or smelter and refinery data, errors or omissions by suppliers and/or smelters and refiners, errors in public data, language barriers and translation, illegally tagged Conflict Minerals being introduced into our supply chain, etc.
