NOKIA CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT FOR 2018
May 30, 2019
Introduction
Based on our reasonable country of origin inquiry, Nokia has reason to believe that certain of the Conflict Minerals1 necessary to the functionality or production of our products may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”) and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, Nokia undertook due diligence measures on the source and chain of custody of these Conflict Minerals. In the design of our due diligence processes we have conformed to the internationally recognized due diligence framework provided by OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas (OECD 2016) (the “OECD Due Diligence Guidance”). The details of this alignment of our conflict minerals due diligence process with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance are provided in Table 1 below.
Table 1. OECD Due Diligence Guidance & related Nokia Due Diligence actions
| OECD Due Diligence Guidance | Nokia Due Diligence Action |
| STEP 1. Establish strong company management systems | |
Adopt, and clearly communicate to suppliers and the public, a company policy for the supply chain of minerals originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. This policy should incorporate the standards against which due diligence is to be conducted, consistent with the standards set forth in the model supply chain policy in Annex II of OECD Due Diligence Guidance. | Nokia has a policy which describes its respective commitment to conflict-free sourcing globally, including responsible and conflict-free sourcing through legitimate trade from conflict-affected and high risk areas and measures taken to reach that goal (referred to herein as the “Nokia Conflict Minerals Policy”). It also sets out a commitment to identify, assess, mitigate, and respond to risks. Nokia Conflict Minerals Policy has been communicated to suppliers when first released and thereafter in conjunction with the annual supply chain conflict minerals inquiry. The Nokia Conflict Minerals Policy is reviewed regularly and is publicly available on our website: http://company.nokia.com/en/sustainability/downloads |
1 Columbite-tantalite (coltan) (or its derivative tantalum), cassiterite (or its derivative tin), gold and wolframite (or its derivative tungsten).
Structure internal management systems to support supply chain due diligence. | In order to support and oversee the implementation of the Policy, Nokia has set up a cross-functional Conflict Minerals Working Group that includes members with necessary competence from sourcing, operations, sustainability, legal, and reporting and government relations teams. The supply chain inquiry is carried out through the internal conflict-free sourcing deployment team in cooperation with a global network of sourcing managers, and the results are periodically reviewed with Sourcing and Quality leadership (Supply Quality Monthly Business Reviews and Dedicated Quality Reviews) and Corporate Responsibility Council (cross-functional committee for sustainability governance composed of group responsibility management and senior leaders from business units). |
| Establish a system of controls and transparency over the mineral supply chain. This includes a chain of custody or a traceability system or the identification of upstream actors in the supply chain. This may be implemented through participation in industry-driven programs. | Nokia’s system of controls and transparency is a combination of internal activities, work with direct suppliers and reliance on joint industry programs such as the Responsible Minerals Initiative (the “RMI”) (formerly known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). As a RMI member company, Nokia is familiar with the rigor and development of the audit protocol that led to the RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process in accordance with an internationally accepted standard: OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, 2nd Edition. Furthermore, the mutual recognition between the RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process audit and the Responsible Jewellery Council’s Chain of Custody certification and London Bullion Market Association’s Responsible Gold Programme establish these programs as internationally accepted industry standards. Nokia starts its reasonable country of origin inquiry by a scoping of its suppliers, for which the product data management system and spend data is used to determine which of the suppliers are relevant for the conflict minerals supply chain inquiry. In order to identify the smelters and refiners in our supply chain and country of origin data, Nokia conducts a supply chain survey using the RMI conflict minerals reporting template and reviews gathered information against that provided by RMI and its Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”). RMI publishes a conflict-free smelter list, which is composed of mineral processing facilities that have been reviewed by an independent third-party audit to assess whether the facility employs policies, practices, and procedures to provide assurance that the material sourced is DRC conflict-free. RMI also provides country of origin data for members, which has been aggregated due to confidential business information concerns (which conforms to the OECD Guidance specified in Step 5). This is reasonable because the country of the material’s origin is thoroughly examined in the audit process, even if the origin’s more specific location is not published. Therefore, reliance on the aggregated country list constitutes a reasonable inquiry into the material’s country of origin. The data on which we rely for certain statements in this conflict minerals report is obtained through our membership in the RMI. |
| Strengthen company engagement with suppliers. A conflict minerals policy should be incorporated into contracts and/or agreements with suppliers. Where possible, assist suppliers in building capacities with a view to improving due diligence performance. | Nokia’s approach is to establish long-term relationships with suppliers, seek sustainable solutions, and work with suppliers to drive improvements. Nokia has incorporated the principles outlined in the Policy into Nokia Supplier Requirements which are part of Quality appendix to standard supplier agreements. Nokia reserves the right to assess its suppliers against its supplier requirements. Nokia provides support for suppliers in the form of detailed feedback on their conflict minerals reporting template, and corrective action plans were agreed as necessary. Nokia also encourages suppliers to participate in and support multi stakeholder forums and conflict-free sourcing initiatives. Nokia has also conducted several dedicated information sharing webinar sessions with suppliers to further explain our conflict minerals requirements. |
| Establish a company-level, or industry-wide, grievance mechanism as an early-warning risk-awareness system. | Concerns and violations of the Policy can be reported to Nokia through our official grievance channels: Email: ethics@nokia.com Online: https://nokiaethics.alertline.com Phone: https://nokiaethics.alertline.com/clientInfo/7782/phone.pdf Suppliers and other external parties are encouraged to contact their regular sourcing channel or Conflict-Free Sourcing team email (conflict_free_sourcing.team@nokia.com) if they wish to seek guidance on the application of the Policy approach, or if they wish to report suspected abuse. They, and other external stakeholders, may also report problems or concerns to the Nokia ethics alert line. At the industry level, grievances can also be reported to RMI’s Grievance Channel at: http://www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org/responsible-minerals-assurance-process/grievance-mechanism/. Nokia receives a periodic overview of the grievance received by RMI and considers this under risk management. |
| STEP 2. Identify and assess risk in the supply chain | |
| Identify and assess risks in their supply chain as recommended in the Supplements. | As a downstream company Nokia is many supply chain tiers away from mining activities and has no direct business relationship with mining activities or metal processing facilities and therefore, in order to conduct its reasonable country of origin inquiry, Nokia uses a combination of actions both individually with direct suppliers, as well as multilaterally with industry peers and other stakeholders. With direct suppliers, the primary means for conducting the reasonable country of origin inquiry survey through a supply chain using the standard industry conflict minerals reporting template (provided by RMI), with the aim of assessing the direct suppliers’ due diligence activities and identifying processing facilities and countries of mineral origin. Nokia assesses risks by reviewing supplier templates to understand their due diligence activities and identified processing facilities and countries of origin, and whether the minerals originated from recycled or scrap sources. In order to improve data quality and completeness Nokia conducts several rounds of surveys with suppliers, provides feedback on supplier templates and agrees on corrective actions if necessary. Reminders are sent to non-responsive suppliers and an escalation process is enacted when there is slow progress on supplier side on improvements and meeting Nokia targets. Nokia continues the risk assessment by comparing smelter data provided by suppliers to information provided by the RMAP and online research in order to verify whether the smelters and refiners have been validated as conflict-free or not and to identify the countries of origin of the minerals. |
| STEP 3. Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks | |
| Report findings of the supply chain risk assessment to the designated senior management of the company. | In accordance with the Policy, the results of the annual supply chain inquiry and risks identified throughout the year are reported to Nokia’s Head of Supply Quality, Product Procurement Leadership and Corporate Responsibility Council. |
| Devise and adopt a risk management plan | To minimize the risk of tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold present in our products contributing to conflict in the Covered Countries, we seek to conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry on a regular basis, check and increase the number of validated smelters and refiners in our supply chain, approach smelters directly and consider other publicly available information about smelting operation and country of origin. As part of risk management with our direct suppliers, we provide them feedback on the quality of their conflict minerals due diligence information and ask clarifying questions and demand corrective actions where necessary. We have set up informational calls with selected suppliers to help build their capacity, and we encourage our suppliers to participate in industry activities in order to learn and contribute. We also conduct an audit program for the suppliers in higher risk countries, such as China on their due diligence process. When suppliers have identified in their conflict minerals survey that some of the minerals originate from the Covered Countries, we perform additional due diligence to find out as much as reasonably possible about the origins of the metals. This involves asking suppliers to identify the smelter or refiner that processed the material and checking whether it has been validated as conflict-free. We also liaise directly with smelters that have not yet been validated as conflict-free in order to request mineral origin information. As part of our risk management we aim to increase the portion of validated conflict-free smelters and refiners in our supply chain, with the aim of ultimately sourcing only from validated processing facilities. |
| Implement the risk management plan, monitor and track performance of risk mitigation efforts and report back to designated senior management. This may be done in cooperation and/or consultation with local and central government authorities, upstream companies, international or civil society organizations and affected third-parties where the risk management plan is implemented and monitored in conflict-affected and high-risk areas. | Risk management plans, monitoring and performance tracking is done in close collaboration with sourcing and followed up by the cross-functional conflict minerals working group that oversees the implementation of the Policy. The results are reported to Sourcing category leaders and also back to Head of Supply Quality and Corporate Responsibility Council. Where risk incidents involve direct suppliers, we carry out risk management planning, monitoring and performance tracking through the sourcing managers’ network. In cases where risk incidents do not result in corrective actions taken to our satisfaction, it can ultimately result in termination of the business relationship. In cases where our regular supply chain inquiry indicates that a given supplier is sourcing materials from the Covered Countries, we undertake additional risk management activities, such as checking the reported mine of origin against industry data and public sources of information, and follow-up of the status periodically. |
| Undertake additional fact and risk assessments for risks requiring mitigation, or after a change of circumstances. | As necessary through the same steps as above. |
| STEP 4. Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain | |
| Companies at identified points (as indicated in the Supplements) in the supply chain should have their due diligence practices audited by independent third parties. Such audits may be verified by an independent institutionalized mechanism. | As the origin of Conflict Minerals cannot be determined after the ores have been smelted or refined, smelters and refiners are in the best position to determine the country of origin. Thus, the most important point in the supply chain for a downstream company to have third-party conflict-free validation is the smelter or refiner level. For that purpose, we make use of the cross-industry conflict-free smelter listing of the RMAP. The RMAP has agreed on mutual cross-recognition of gold refiner audits with London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) and Responsible Jewellery Council (“RJC”), and therefore refineries validated by those organizations are also considered to be conflict-free. Refineries validated by LBMA and RJC are reflected in the RMI (former CFSI) list of validated smelters and refiners. http://www.conflictfreesourcing.org/conflict-free-smelter-refiner-lists/ We compare the aggregated smelter and refiner list of our supply chain against the validated smelter and refiner lists provided by the RMAP. We also take steps to encourage the non-validated smelters to enter into the program and start the process of validation through our direct outreach to smelters as well as through the respective working group at RMI (former CFSI). |
| STEP 5. Report on supply chain due diligence | |
| Companies should publicly report on their supply chain due diligence policies and practices and may do so by expanding the scope of their sustainability, corporate social responsibility or annual reports to cover additional information on mineral supply chain due diligence. | Nokia reports publicly on its due diligence policies and practices in its Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, its annual sustainability report (Nokia People and Planet report), and on its company website. |
As a downstream company, our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals. Our due diligence process is based on the necessity of seeking data from our direct suppliers and the direct suppliers seeking data within their supply chain to identify the original sources of the Conflict Minerals. We also rely to a large extent on information provided by independent third-party audit programs. Such sources of information may yield inaccurate or incomplete information.
RESULTS OF THE NOKIA SUPPLY CHAIN INQUIRY FOR 2018
In order to conduct the reasonable country of origin inquiry, Nokia started by determining the suppliers to be in scope for the supply chain inquiry. The analysis of the material content information gathered for all products led us to conclude that small quantities of the four metals in question are present in practically all parts and components used to manufacture products in our business (such as integrated circuits, connectors, resistors, hardware assembly components, RF MW circuits and capacitors).
The product data management system was used to determine which of Nokia’s suppliers are relevant for the conflict minerals supply chain inquiry. Suppliers being phased-out and products sourced from third parties and subsequently resold by Nokia without influence over the manufacturing or design of such products were not in scope. Further, Nokia applied a spend threshold to exclude from the scope the suppliers accounting for relatively insignificant procurement spend.
The number of suppliers in the original scope for Nokia was 1297. Of these, 268 suppliers were above the supplier spend threshold applied by Nokia, in the aggregate representing 98% of supplier spend in original scope. Nokia approached these suppliers with the conflict minerals inquiry. The remaining suppliers were under threshold level or were in the phase-out process. The response rate for the suppliers surveyed was 100%. 13 of the suppliers surveyed did not supply materials containing Conflict Minerals.
Based on our due diligence efforts we found on a supplier level that, of the suppliers in scope:
| ● | 100% of suppliers have adopted a conflict minerals policy (99% in 2017), 89% public and 11% not public. |
| ● | Suppliers tracing all smelters (per mineral): tantalum 93%, tin 95%, tungsten 94%, gold 95%. |
Suppliers with conflict-free status (per mineral, including conflict-free status of respective reported smelters): tantalum 93%, tin 88%, tungsten 84%, gold 86%.
| Figure 1: Supplier smelter identification completion and Conflict-Free Status |
Suppliers sourcing from the Covered Countries: 251/255=98% (2017: 261 suppliers)
In total, we have identified 313 of the smelters:
| ● | 82% of smelters have been validated by RMAP or mutually recognized programs (out of known smelters) (80% in 20172): gold 70%, tantalum 100%, tin 90%, tungsten 93%. |
| ● | 84% of smelters have been validated by RMAP or mutually recognized programs or are active in the validation process (out of known smelters) (83% in 2017): gold 73%, tantalum 100%, tin 91%, tungsten 95%. |
| ● | 4% of the smelters who are currently not validated by RMAP or Active towards validation are either Recyclers, or where our due- diligence have shown there is no reason to believe they are sourcing from the Covered Countries and can be reasonably considered as conflict-free. |
| Conformant | Active | No participation | Total | |
| Tantalum | 40 | 0 | 0 | 40 |
| 100% | 0% | 0% | ||
| Tin | 73 | 1 | 7 | 81 |
| 90% | 1% | 9% | ||
| Gold | 105 | 4 | 41 | 150 |
| 70% | 3% | 27% | ||
| Tungsten | 39 | 1 | 2 | 42 |
| 93% | 2% | 5% | ||
| Total | 257 | 6 | 50 | 313 |
| 82% | 2% | 16% | 100% |
2 The number of identified smelters decreased from 318 in 2017 to 313 in 2018.
Figure 2. Conflict-Free validation status of the 313 identified smelters
In support of supply chain transparency, we disclose in the tables below: the processing facilities we have identified through our due diligence process as having processed conflict minerals contained in the products manufactured by Nokia and in products for which Nokia has contracted with third parties to manufacture. The processing facilities (including smelters and refiners) are listed on an aggregated basis per metal and classified within three categories – “validated”, “active”, and “no public participation in validation program”. Smelter validation status is based on Responsible Minerals Initiative data as of February 19, 2019.

We have identified an additional 9 facilities that were reported as smelters by our suppliers but that we were not able to confirm as smelters or refiners based on industry or public sources of information, and will be reaching out to these facilities in 2019 to perform additional due diligence.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
In order to identify countries of origin, Nokia made use of Conflict Minerals templates provided by suppliers and aggregated country of origin information of smelters provided by RMI to its members. Based on these, the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Nokia supply chain may include:
The countries of origin for Gold may include: Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Australia, Benin, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Botswana, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa), Cyprus, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Finland, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, Honduras, Indonesia, Iran, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Namibia, Nicaragua, Niger, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Slovakia, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Spain, Suriname, Swaziland, Sweden, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Turkey, United States of America, Uruguay, Uzbekistan
The countries of origin for Tantalum may include: Australia, Austria, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Brazil, Burundi, China, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa), Ethiopia, Guinea, India, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mozambique, Nigeria, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Thailand.
The countries of origin for Tin may include: Australia, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Brazil, Burundi, China, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa), Guinea, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Peru, Portugal, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Taiwan, Thailand, Uganda, United Kingdom, Venezuela.

Nokia supports seeking a sustainable solution to the issue of conflict minerals and aims to ensure responsible and conflict-free sourcing, thus supporting legitimate trade and positive development in the DRC and adjoining countries. Of Nokia’s suppliers, 251 had reported smelters that process conflict minerals originating in one or more of the Covered Countries.
Altogether 55 smelters in the consolidated smelter list (18% of identified smelters) were confirmed to process Conflict Minerals sourcing from the Covered Countries. As part of our due diligence, we have followed up with all such suppliers to verify whether the smelters that sourced Conflict Minerals from Covered Countries are compliant smelters under the RMAP. 49 smelters were found to be conformant. 30 of these (10% of identified smelters) were sourcing from the DRC. We believe this is a positive development for the countries whose livelihood depends on these efforts continuing. For six of the smelters we cannot rule out that they source from the Covered Countries due to their geographic proximity, and we plan to take further due diligence efforts in 2019 with regard to those smelters.
Progress on Commitments made in 2018 Conflict Minerals Report
| Target for 2018 | Progress in 2018 |
| Further improving the quality and completeness of the conflict minerals due diligence data provided by our suppliers; | Further improvement of supplier information quality was observed during data evaluation and follow up. More suppliers provided information on product level, we reached 96% of traceability smelters and refineries in our supply chain. Quality and completeness of data was also assessed and verified as part of onsite Conflict Minerals audits that we conducted on our suppliers in China. |
| Engaging in further awareness raising and due diligence capability building efforts jointly in collaboration with relevant stakeholder forums and/or independently with our suppliers; | A number of webinars were conducted to suppliers with high or medium risk. In addition, two workshops were conducted in China. Direct feedback was provided to all of the suppliers in most of the cases in several rounds. Suppliers were also encouraged to participate in industry forums and collaboration. |
| Actively engaging with our supply chain to get more smelters validated as conflict-free through the third-party validation mechanisms available, with the aim of increasing the number of smelters on the list of RMAP compliant smelters; | Engagement was two-fold: on the supplier level directly with smelters and through the respective working group of Responsible Minerals Initiative. As a result 82% of smelters were validated as conflict-free, 2% actively engaged in industry validation process and 4% identified as low risk of sourcing from the Covered Countries. |
| Requesting suppliers to complete smelter mapping, and source over 90% of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold from conflict-free smelters; and | In 2018, 100% of the smelters from which our suppliers sourced tantalum were conflict-free, for tungsten 93% of smelters were conflict-free and for tungsten 90%. For gold the target was not achieved (70%). Smelter mapping by our suppliers was completed at 96% on average. |
| Validating the due diligence efforts of our suppliers as part of overall supplier assessments. | Corporate Responsibility audits of our product suppliers included a checklist on conflict-free sourcing. In 2018 we also conducted 10 third-party audits focused on conflict-free sourcing. |
NOKIA COMMITMENTS FOR 2019:
In order to mitigate the risk that the conflict minerals contained in, and necessary to the functionality or production of, Nokia’s products benefit armed groups, and to improve our conflict minerals due diligence efforts further in the coming year, we plan to concentrate on the following activities in 2019:
engaging in further awareness raising and due diligence capability building efforts jointly in collaboration with relevant stakeholder forums and/or independently with our suppliers;
actively engaging with our supply chain to get more smelters validated as conflict-free through the third-party validation mechanisms available, with the aim of increasing the number of smelters on the list of RMAP compliant smelters;
requesting suppliers to fully complete smelter mapping, and source tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold from conflict-free smelters only; and
validating the due diligence efforts of our suppliers as part of overall supplier assessments.
