Exhibit Number | Description | |
1.01 | Conflict Minerals Report for the calendar year ended December 31, 2016. |
• | Adopted and publicly communicated a company-wide Corporate Responsibility Directive, in which we declare that we abide by the Code of Conduct of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition, or EICC, including the standard regarding responsible sourcing of conflict minerals, which can be found on our website at http://images.nvidia.com/content/includes/gcr/pdf/nvidia-corporate-responsibility-directive.pdf |

• | Adopted and publicly communicated a conflict minerals policy endorsed by our Executive Vice President, Operations, which is posted on our website at http://images.nvidia.com/content/includes/gcr/pdf/nvidia-conflict-minerals-policy.pdf |
• | Assembled internal conflict minerals team, with representation by NVIDIA’s Operations (covering Silicon Products and System-Level Products groups), Legal, Sales, Procurement, Internal Audit and Corporate Responsibility departments |
• | Established a system of control and transparency over our conflict minerals supply chain by engaging first-tier and second-tier suppliers and requesting relevant information through the use of a third-party supplier management vendor which utilized due diligence tools created by the CFSI, including the CMRT |
• | Provided monthly updates on our conflict minerals due diligence progress and status to our Executive Vice President, Operations |
• | Maintained a company grievance mechanism available internally to allow reporting about any matter of concern, including those related to conflict minerals |
• | Internal Audit team conducted a review of our conflict minerals due diligence process |
• | Identified relevant suppliers that supplied products containing 3TG by reference to bills of materials |
• | Requested such suppliers to provide information regarding smelters or refiners in our supply chain by using the CMRT |
• | Reviewed supplier responses for completeness and accuracy |
• | Compared information in supplier responses with the list of 3TG processing facilities that received a “conflict-free” designation, produced by the CFSP |
• | Contacted non-responsive suppliers, requesting their responses |
• | Provided suppliers with feedback on responses containing errors, inconsistencies or incomplete information |
• | Held regular conflict minerals team meetings to review, among other things, our conflict minerals program, any potential or actual risks identified during due diligence, and the status of supplier responses |
• | Reported progress on a monthly basis to our Executive Vice President, Operations |
• | Identified main risks in our supply chain |
• | Contacted certain smelter and refinery facilities that have not received a “conflict-free” designation from an independent third-party audit program to encourage their participation |
• | Implemented a risk mitigation response plan to monitor and track unresponsive suppliers and/or incomplete or inaccurate supply chain information |
• | Requested that certain suppliers remove specific smelters or refiners from their supply chain that we deemed to be high-risk |
• | Informed non-responsive suppliers that we will assess, and potentially withhold, future business with them if they do not acquire materials from conflict-free sources within the DRC and do not provide their supply chain conflict minerals information to us using the CMRT |
• | Removed companies from our supplier base due, in part, to their failure to comply with our conflict minerals policy |
• | Conducted meetings with certain customers and responded |
• | Relied on the CFSP, the London Bullion Market Association, and the Responsible Jewellery Council to coordinate third-party audits of smelters and refiners to validate the sourcing practices of such facilities in our supply chain |
• | Provided indirect financial support for such third-party audits through our continued membership in the EICC and CFSI |
• | Participated in EICC work groups, including smelter engagement and outreach |
