AIXTRON SE

Conflict Minerals Report

For the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2013

 

I.                                        Introduction / Background

II.                                   The Due Diligence

III.                              Product Description

 

I.                                        Introduction / Background

 

As a leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, AIXTRON`s technology solutions are used to build advanced components for electronic and optoelectronic applications based on compound, silicon, or organic semiconductor materials. Such components are used in displays, signaling, lighting, fiber optic communication systems, wireless and mobile telephony applications, optical and electronic storage devices, computing, as well as a range of other leading-edge applications.

 

The products of AIXTRON SE contain one or more of the minerals Tantalum, Tin, Tungsten, and Gold (3TG).

 

AIXTRON has implemented a due diligence process amongst the supply chain for the identification and traceability of the origin of the 3TG metals used in AIXTRON`s products by using the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The guidance and the management system defined by it, is based on a five-step framework. The five steps are described in part II of the report.

 

II.                                   The Due Diligence

 

The OECD Due Diligence Guidance defines “Due Diligence” as an ongoing proactive and reactive process through which companies can ensure that they respect human rights and do not contribute to conflicts. The nature and extent of the due diligence that is appropriate will depend on individual circumstances of the enterprise. The guidance introduces a five step framework for a risk based due diligence for responsible sourcing.

 

The first step of the five-step framework is the establishment of a strong company management system.

 

The integral part of AIXTRON`s management system is the Vendor Code of Conduct published on the AIXTRON’s home page (http://www.aixtron.com/en/investors/corporate-governance/vendor-code-of-conduct/) expressing the senior management’s expectations that all conflict minerals used in AIXTRON’s products are either from recycled sources or from a “EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Smelter (CFS) program” certified smelter, as certified by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI).

The Chief Compliance Officer and the Compliance Department have the responsibility for the implementation and the integration of the conflict minerals policy in AIXTRON’s processes. The status of this implementation and integration of the conflict minerals policy was reported regularly to the Executive Board and the Audit Committee.

 

The purchasing departments at AIXTRON were trained and awareness regarding conflict free sourcing was established.

 

The process related to a new vendor master set-up in the company’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system was centralized and updated in a way that a vendor which might supply AIXTRON with materials including 3TG`s cannot be used actively for purchases, if the EICC GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template is not received and accepted.

 

To be compliant with the regulation defined by the Dodd-Frank Act for the conflict minerals, the conflict minerals project is designed not to be a one-time measure but is implemented as an ongoing process assuring that the identification and, for the impacted vendors, vendor review, is performed at least annually.

 

The second step of the OECD due diligence guidance describes the risk identification and risk assessment in the supply chain. A risk in the context of conflict minerals means that a material purchased by AIXTRON and used in one of our products contains 3TG that benefitted an armed group in a Covered Country.  A risk mitigating measure is a reasonable country of origin assessment of the 3TG used in materials identified as containing 3TG.

 

For the risk identification, all materials used in AIXTRON tools / products, described in part III of this report, which have been purchased by AIXTRON since May 2011 were first reviewed by the responsible personnel of the purchasing department and by the engineering department. The assessment was conducted to determine if the materials contain 3TG`s; if the 3TG was necessary for the function or production of the product and if the material was produced by AIXTRON or on AIXTRON`s behalf.

 

Multiple plausibility checks of the results were performed by the compliance department. The assessment was to ensure a complete and accurate review by both purchasing and engineering departments.

 

If a material was determined to contain 3TG or if its 3TG content was uncertain, the material was included within the scope for conflict minerals review. The vendor of the material was identified and a questionnaire with the request to provide reasonable country of origin information for their 3TG`s used was sent to the vendor by AIXTRON`s purchasing departments.

 

As the due diligence process is based on the OECD guidance, the EICC GeSI Conflict Mineral Reporting Template (version 2.03a) was sent to all vendors within the established scope of conflict minerals review. The vendors were encouraged to use the template for their suppliers as well. Multi-lingual training material and information were also provided to all vendors in scope.

The responses were reviewed by the compliance department regarding completeness and plausibility of the responses and, if necessary, additional information or corrective actions were requested from the vendors. This is an ongoing process and continuous improvements from AIXTRON and from the vendors in scope are expected in the upcoming reporting periods.

 

It was determined if the reported smelters are on the “Conflict Free Smelter List” provided by the Conflict-free Sourcing Initiative. Other information sources regarding conflict free sourcing were also used for a country of origin investigation. Examples include the TI-CMC (Tungsten Industry — Conflict Minerals Council) or the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) Good Delivery list.

 

An independent private sector audit of whether the design of our due diligence framework conforms to a recognized due diligence framework and whether our description of the due diligence in the Conflict Minerals Report is consistent with the due diligence we undertook is planned to be performed subsequently.

 

The third step of the OECD guidance is the design and implementation of a strategy to respond to the identified risks taking into account the reporting of the identified risk and an adoption of the risk management plan in the organization.

 

In accordance with part one of the OECD framework (defining a management system), it is established that the recipients of the regular conflict minerals reporting are the Executive Board as well as the Audit Committee as part of the Supervisory Board of AIXTRON. Both recipients are informed on a quarterly basis on the overall progress of the Management System implementation and the feedback status of the vendors for the country of origin inquiry.

 

Additionally, the Compliance Department and the Vice President of Purchasing are recipients of a detailed reporting which covers the progress of the country of origin inquiry and the follow up action that is necessary to receive complete and accurate answers from the vendors.

 

The vendor code of conduct, which is publicly available on the AIXTRON’s homepage and was additionally sent to each vendor who received a questionnaire, states that a vendor’s non-compliance or refusal to participate in due diligence regarding conflict minerals will result in a termination of the relationship with the non-compliant vendor by AIXTRON.

 

Before the termination of the supplier relationship is initiated, AIXTRON offers support to the vendor for the implementation of a due diligence process. The support mostly consists of additional training material and additional awareness meetings with the vendors.

 

Step four of the OECD framework requires an independent private sector audit of the supply chain due dilligence.

 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a statement on April 29, 2014 providing that “an IPSA [independent private sector audit] will not be required unless a company voluntarily elects to describe a product as “DRC conflict free” in its Conflict Minerals Report”.  In accordance with the SEC’s statement, because AIXTRON does not elect to describe its products as “DRC conflict free” in its Conflict Minerals Report, an independent private sector audit of the Conflict Minerals Report was not performed.

The fifth step of the OECD framework defines reporting obligations.

 

The Dodd-Frank regulations require a yearly reporting on FORM SD and the Conflict Minerals Report which AIXTRON adheres to. The report is available on the investors section of AIXTRON’s homepage: www.aixtron.com

 

III.                              Product Description

 

AIXTRON`s product range includes systems capable of depositing material films on a diverse range of different substrate sizes and materials.

 

The following table summarizes the products and system technologies that contain conflict minerals for which AIXTRON was unable to fully determine that the conflict minerals did not benefit armed groups in a Covered Country during the course of its due diligence review:

The facilities used to process the conflict minerals which are used in AIXTRON`s products have been identified by an analysis of the smelters provided by the vendors with the EICC GeSI Conflict Mineral Reporting Template. For all smelters named by the vendors, it was reviewed if these smelters participated or are participating in a conflict free smelter (or a similar) audit.

 

If the named smelters did not participate in a known conflict free smelter audit program, the veracity of a statement that a smelter’s conflict minerals were conflict free was verified if the information provided by AIXTRON`s vendor is plausible and if a country of origin of the smelter can be identified. Therefore, the internet presentation of the named smelter has been reviewed and checked for additional information. It was noted that for all named smelters, the country of origin was identified.

 

The result of the identification of the smelters, shows that 45.9 % (1.306 of 2.878) of the smelters named by AIXTRON’s supply chain partners are either certified conflict free smelter facilities or are participating in the CFS-audit or are listed on the LBMA list as a deliverer of good gold bars following standards to avoid contributing to conflict, human rights abuses, and terrorist financing practices.

 

54.1 % are not confirmed as conflict free smelters. These smelters are from the following countries:

 

Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Democratic People`s Republic of Korea, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, and USA.
