SECTION 1. CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE

 

Item 1.01. Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Section 13(p) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which implements Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Conflict Regulations”), ON Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) was required to make certain inquiries and perform certain due diligence with respect to any “conflict minerals” (as defined by paragraph (d)(3) of Item 1.01 of Form SD) that are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured (or contracted to be manufactured) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality of certain of the Company’s products. As required in the Conflict Regulations, the Company has conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country or are from recycled or scrap sources. Based on its RCOI, the Company has determined that certain of the conflict minerals contained in its products may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country and may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, the Company was required to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its conflict minerals in accordance with the Conflict Regulations and Form SD and to file a Conflict Minerals Report.

CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT

This unaudited Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) of ON Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) is attached as Exhibit 1.01 to the Form SD for the year ended December 31, 2015. This Report is also publicly available on the Company’s website at the following link: http://www.onsemi.com/social-responsibility. The content of any website referred to in this Report is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Report.

Pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Section 13(p) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which implements Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Conflict Regulations”), the Company was required to make certain inquiries and perform certain due diligence with respect to any “conflict minerals” (as defined by paragraph (d)(3) of Item 1.01 of Form SD) that are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured (or contracted to be manufactured) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The Company is a broad based supplier of semiconductor components that serve a variety of end markets, including automotive, consumer, computing, industrial, wireless, networking, military-aerospace and medical. Our extensive portfolio of power and signal management, logic, discrete and custom devices helps customers efficiently solve their design challenges in advanced electronic systems and products.

As a purchaser of products containing the minerals tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold from suppliers for use in our manufacturing process, the Company continues to be concerned about the reports of violence and human rights violations resulting from the sourcing of such minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries (“Covered Countries”). The Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility Report is available at http://www.onsemi.com/social-responsibility.

For purposes of this report, the term “products” is used to describe products manufactured (or contracted to be manufactured) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. As a result, when conducting its conflict minerals analysis as required by the federal securities rules, the Company has considered its sole product to be semiconductor components.

This Report relates to the process undertaken for products that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, during calendar year 2015 and that contain conflict minerals. This Report is unaudited, as an independent private sector audit is not required pursuant to the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its “Statement on the Effect of the Recent Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule” dated April 29, 2014.

As a result of its inquiry, the Company determined that conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality of the Company’s products. In particular, these minerals provide internal electrically conductive connections to the various circuit elements required to manufacture a working semiconductor device and/or provide an electrically conductive path to connect the semiconductor device to the electronic application in which it is utilized.

Conflict minerals are obtained from sources worldwide, and the Company does not desire to eliminate those originating in Covered Countries. However, the Company is committed to ensuring conflict free sourcing of minerals from our supply chain through collaboration with our suppliers, specifically, as a member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and a participant in the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), which began as a joint effort between the EICC and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”). Being a member of the initiative requires that members engage in reasonable due diligence with their supply chain to assure such minerals are not being sourced from entities supporting armed conflict within the Covered Countries. The Company also recognizes the importance of supporting responsible mineral sourcing from the Covered Countries so as not to negatively impact the economies of those countries.


Due Diligence

Based on the Company’s reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), the Company was unable to reasonably conclude that all of its conflict minerals did not originate in a Covered Country or come from recycled or scrap sources, and the Company continues its diligence on the source and chain of custody of its conflict minerals. In connection with this supply chain diligence, the Company used the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Second Edition, OECD 2013) and the related Supplements on tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (collectively, the “OECD Guidance”) and, among other actions, implemented the following:

 

    OECD: Step 1: Established a strong management system

 

    The Company continually reviews and updates policies as appropriate to reflect the procedures by which the Company and its suppliers should conduct conflict minerals related diligence.

 

    The Company established an internal management team to support supply chain due diligence. The internal management team includes appropriate employees within the Company’s quality, supply chain, finance, operations and legal departments. Regular reports generated as a result of this internal management team’s efforts were provided to the Audit Committee of the Company.

 

    The Company utilized the form conflicts minerals reporting template (“CMRT”), standardized by the EICC, to collect sourcing information from its suppliers to identify whether (i) conflict minerals sourced by such suppliers originated in Covered Countries and (ii) whether or not smelters used by such suppliers (or such suppliers’ suppliers) have been validated as compliant in accordance with the Conflict Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”). Appendix A sets forth a list of smelters, provided by our suppliers, from which the Company obtains product, including mineral type, standard smelter names, and whether the smelter is on the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative Compliant Smelter List. In addition, a summary of conflict minerals and countries of origin information, collected as a result of our RCOI efforts, is attached hereto as Appendix B.

 

    The CFSI developed an audit protocol for verification of entities as compliant with the CFSP in accordance with the OECD Guidance and in conjunction with complementary traceability schemes in the Covered Countries. The Conflict Free Smelter List is composed of entities that were determined to be compliant with the CFSP and that have been subject to an independent third party audit to assess whether the entity employed policies, practices, and procedures to source conflict free minerals. ON Semiconductor uses the CFSP compliant smelter list and any other lists that have been recognized by the CFSI, including the London Bullion Metal Association (LBMA) and Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC) lists for gold. We are a member of CFSI and have access to CFSI country of origin information (RCOI) for entities on the Conflict Free Smelter List.

 

    The Company finalized an internal compliance audit to assess and confirm that the due diligence approach followed by the Company was in accordance with OECD Guidance.


    OECD: Step 2: Risk Identification and Assessment /

Identified supply chain risk

 

    The Company believes that it has identified 100% of the suppliers who provide it with tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“3TG”) and has, through its supply chain diligence, been able to exclude from this inquiry suppliers who do not provide 3TG to the Company. As of December 31, 2015, the Company received declaration from 100% of its suppliers of conflict minerals using the CMRT.

 

    The Company employs Ipoint, a third party web based software platform, to collect, manage and aggregate the CMRT declarations received from its suppliers and to report the results to its customers. This software ensures the company has an auditable ‘chain of custody’ regarding receipt of declarations and information received from suppliers.

 

    OECD Step 3: Strategy to respond to Identified risks/

Implemented strategy to address that risk

 

    The Company has developed a date and version controlled document and conflict minerals audit checklist for use in auditing its major suppliers of conflict minerals and has incorporated this checklist into its ongoing supplier audit process.

 

    All suppliers receive a letter through Ipoint requesting them to:

 

    Adopt a policy to reasonably assure that the 3TG in their products does not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.

 

    Identify all 3TG smelters in their supply chain.

 

    Report back to the Company by filling in the CMRT.

 

    The status is discussed internally in monthly reviews with the conflict minerals team and reported to senior management.

 

    OECD Step 4: Smelter audits /

Independent auditing of smelters

 

    The Company’s Conflict Mineral coordinators are members of the CFSI working teams that continue to encourage smelters to participate in the CFSP. To that end, the Company approaches, through direct communication and smelter outreach, both the smelters and their customers (the Company’s suppliers) in our supply chain, as well as others as assigned to us. The Company also supports CFSI group campaigns to engage smelters.

 

    OECD Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence.

Inherent limitations on due diligence measures

 

    The Company is an indirect purchaser of conflict minerals, and its due diligence measures provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals. The Company’s due diligence processes seek data from its direct suppliers and those suppliers seek similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the conflict minerals. We also rely, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by independent third party audit programs. Such sources of information may produce inaccurate or incomplete information and may be subject to fraud.


Due Diligence Results

As a result of its continuous due diligence with suppliers and smelters through CFSI’s smelter engagement team, the Company has determined that approximately 98% of our smelters are CFSP compliant or active in the program pursuing compliance as of December 31, 2015, compared to 53% as of December 31, 2014.

Products

As indicated above, the Company has been unable to determine the origins of certain of the conflict minerals contained in its products.

Mitigation of Risk Related to Benefiting Armed Groups

The Company continues to improve its processes and procedures to mitigate the risk that its necessary conflict minerals benefit armed groups. In particular, the Company has taken the following steps to improve its due diligence processes:

 

    The Company has incorporated conflict minerals compliance requirements into its supplier handbook for all suppliers.

 

    The Company has incorporated conflict minerals requirements and checkpoints into its business processes for new product introduction, new supplier qualification and change management.
