SigmaTron International, Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2019
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, 2019. 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.
Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products and the minerals specified in Rule 13p-1 are necessary to the functionality or production of these products. The specified minerals referred to as “Conflict Minerals” are gold, cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan) and wolframite, including their derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries” for purposes of Rule 13p-1 and this CMR are the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.
As described in this CMR, we have determined that certain Conflict Minerals, namely tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold are necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by us during the calendar year 2019. As a result, we conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) as set forth below.
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 at sigmatronintl.com/quality/compliance-sustainability/ under the heading “View SigmaTron International, Inc. Conflict Minerals Report for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 (Exhibit 1.01)”. |
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 (7) 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 Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) (formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”)/Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”) Conflict Free Smelter Initiative) Reporting Template (the “CMRT Template”). |
b. | Utilizing the CMRT Template, a RCOI (see below for additional information regarding our RCOI process) was conducted across our supply chain to determine the sourcing of the Conflict Minerals used in our products. To date, we have received responses from 100% of our supply chain. |
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 RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) (formerly the EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Smelter Program). 375 unique smelters or refiners were reported by our suppliers. Of these 375 smelters and refiners, 272 are certified as conformant by the RMAP. 1 |
d. | In the future, as we have in the past, we will continue to encourage our current and new suppliers to use only conformant smelters. Additionally, we will continue to assess our suppliers with respect to our compliance requirements referenced above. |
e. | 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 conformant by the RMAP. 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 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (as amended, 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. |
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 RMI concerning independent third-party audits of smelters and refiners. We believe that our utilization of RMI data is the most effective method. |
b. | The use of the CMRT Template provided by RMI and our other due diligence steps conform in material aspects to the standards set forth by the third edition of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD 2016). |
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 industries. 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, at this time we do not have sufficient information to conclusively 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, the facilities used to process them, their country of origin, or their mine or location of origin. This being said, after conducting the aforementioned due diligence and reviewing the final report of the UN Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of Congo (S/2019/469), the midterm report of the UN Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of Congo (S/2019/974) 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 of the conflict region of the Covered Countries.

Our approach to the RCOI for where the mines are located is as follows:
For products manufactured during the 2019 reporting period, we performed an RCOI on our Conflict Minerals. We utilized the RMI’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 RMI website, we learned that 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 272 smelters that are certified as conformant by the RMAP, 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-conformant 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.
