China Mobile Limited

Conflict Minerals Report

For The Year Ended December 31, 2020

 

This Conflict Minerals Report for China Mobile Limited (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “China Mobile,” “we,” or “our”) is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”), for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

 

I.

Background

 

A.

Identification of Products Containing Conflict Minerals

 

Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) thereunder (collectively, the “Conflict Minerals Rule”) contain disclosure and due diligence requirements on SEC-reporting issuers that manufacture or contract to manufacture products that contain “conflict minerals” that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Conflict minerals are defined under the Conflict Minerals Rule to include tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.

 

We provide full communications services in all 31 provinces, autonomous regions and directly-administered municipalities in the mainland of China as well as in Hong Kong. Based on publicly available information, we are the leading provider of telecommunications and related services in the mainland of China and the largest provider of telecommunications and related services in the world as measured by the total number of mobile customers as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, our total number of mobile customers reached approximately 940 million.

 

In its ordinary course of business, China Mobile and its subsidiaries engage in the sale of certain telecommunications equipment and terminals (“Products”). No Products are manufactured by China Mobile, but some Products are contracted by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and business units (collectively, the “Device Subsidiaries”) to be manufactured by third parties. China Mobile has determined that “conflict minerals” (also referred to herein as “3TG”) are necessary to the functionality or production of certain Products that China Mobile engaged third party manufacturers to produce during the Reporting Period. See “III. Product Description.”

 

 

B.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

In accordance with the Conflict Minerals Rule, China Mobile’s compliance procedure includes a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) seeking to identify the location of the smelter/refiner facilities used to refine or process the 3TG used in Products. As China Mobile is a downstream supplier of finished products and does not purchase from, and has no established commercial relationships with, smelters or refiners of conflict minerals, China Mobile’s RCOI focused on its direct suppliers.

 

Specifically, in January 2021, China Mobile coordinated with each of its consolidated subsidiaries and requested 181 direct suppliers to complete a Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”).

-1-

 

 

 


 

Each of these direct suppliers supplied Products, some of which were manufactured by certain of these suppliers, to China Mobile during the Reporting Period. The CMRT was developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”, see http://www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org/) to assist companies in determining the smelter/refiner facilities contributing 3TG to their products and requests information regarding the supplier’s own “conflict minerals” diligence policies, in addition to the identification of smelter/refiner facilities within the supply chain, and the country of origin of the 3TG used by such facilities. Based on responses received from these direct suppliers, China Mobile identified that Products of 154 direct suppliers contained 3TG during the Reporting Period. China Mobile then further assessed such direct suppliers’ CMRT responses using data provided by RMI. While the RCOI did not reveal any Products containing conflict minerals that were originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or an adjoining country as defined in the instructions to Form SD (together with DRC, the “Covered Countries”) and were not from recycled or scrap sources, there remains a risk that conflict minerals used in Products supplied by other suppliers may have originated in a Covered Country and may not be from recycled or scrap sources due to, among others, the incompleteness of the direct suppliers’ CMRT responses. See “II. Due Diligence—B. Due Diligence Measures—(ii) Identify and assess risks in the supply chain”. Therefore, China Mobile conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals contained in Products supplied to it by its direct suppliers for the Reporting Period.

 

 

II.

Due Diligence

 

A.

Design of Due Diligence

 

In addition to China Mobile’s compliance with the due diligence required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, China Mobile has adopted a five-step framework recommended by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development in its Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Third Edition (2016)) (the “OECD Guidance”) as applicable for “downstream companies” (as defined in the OECD Guidance).

 

The OECD Guidance sets forth the following five steps for establishing a responsible supply chain: (i) establishing strong company management systems, (ii) identifying and assessing risks in the supply chain, (iii) designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks, (iv) carrying out internal as well as independent third party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain, and (v) reporting annually on supply chain due diligence.

 

 

B.

Due Diligence Measures

 

 

(i)

Establish a comprehensive compliance program:

 

 

a.

China Mobile published the Policy for a Responsible Supply Chain of Conflict Minerals and Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas in 2016. The policy communicates China Mobile’s goal to procure and use materials free from conflict minerals originated from Covered Countries and the source-tracing supply chain inquiries and cooperation with suppliers to achieve such goal. The guidelines lay out certain detailed steps and specific measures China Mobile is required to undertake to carry out conflict minerals due diligence. The policy and guidelines can be found at https://www.chinamobileltd.com/en/esg/guidelines.php .

 

 

 

b.

In March 2017, China Mobile established a working group to handle conflict minerals related matters. The team includes representatives from China Mobile’s Legal and Regulatory Department and the Device Subsidiaries. In addition, China Mobile’s Legal and

 

-2-

 

 

 


 

 

Regulatory Department formulated a five-year compliance program in 2016 and required the relevant subsidiaries to initiate the process of establishing its conflict minerals compliance mechanism in accordance with the Conflict Minerals Rule as soon as practicable.

 

 

 

c.

China Mobile uses its direct suppliers’ CMRT responses to determine the chain of custody of 3TG contained in Products.

 

 

 

d.

The Device Subsidiaries communicate to their suppliers about China Mobile’s policies and guidelines in connection with the Conflict Mineral Rule and require the suppliers not to purchase conflict minerals originated in Covered Countries and to extend such requirements to their suppliers. Moreover, China Mobile Group Device Co., Ltd. (“China Mobile Device”), Government and Enterprise Service Company (“G&E”) and China Mobile Online Services Co., Ltd. (“OSC”) have incorporated a term on conflict minerals into certain supplier contracts whereby the suppliers represent to China Mobile that their products and packaging do not contain any conflict minerals originated in any Covered Country. China Mobile IoT Company Limited (“China Mobile IoT”) and China Mobile (Chengdu) ICT Co., Ltd. (“Chengdu ICT”) require their contract manufacturing suppliers to sign a commitment not to purchase conflict minerals as an attachment to the supply agreements. MIGU Co., Ltd. (“MIGU”), has added such term in the technical specifications in the annex of some of its supplier contracts. China Mobile (Suzhou) Software Technology Co., Ltd. (“Suzhou R&D”) and China Mobile (Hangzhou) Information Technology Company Limited (“Hangzhou R&D”) communicate with their respective suppliers about our RCOI and require them to incorporate a term into their contracts or sign a commitment not to purchase conflict minerals originated in Covered Countries.

 

 

 

e.

China Mobile organizes internal trainings among China Mobile group companies for issues ranging from the Conflict Mineral Rule and disclosure requirements thereunder to China Mobile’s conflict minerals policies and related due diligence guidelines. China Mobile also conveys such compliance requirements to its suppliers as appropriate.

 

 

 

(ii)

Identify and assess risks in the supply chain:

 

 

a.

In each January, China Mobile coordinates with each of its consolidated subsidiaries to identify the Devices Subsidiaries for the preceding year and requests the direct suppliers from which the Device Subsidiaries procured any Product containing 3TG that have been contracted out by China Mobile for manufacturing during the preceding year to respond to the supply chain survey.

 

 

During the Reporting Period, China Mobile had nine Device Subsidiaries, namely (i) China Mobile Device, an entity engaged in the procurement and distribution of mobile telephones, tablets and other devices; (ii) MIGU, an entity established for the provision, operation and service integration of digital content products, which includes music, video, reading, games and animation businesses; (iii) China Mobile IoT, an entity that operates IoT network and OneNET, an IoT open platform, designs and develops IoT modules and chips, develops IoT solutions and featured IoT products such as Internet of vehicles, smart home devices and smart wearables; (iv) G&E, an entity mainly engaged in the sales of information technology products to, and providing end-to-end services for, corporate customers such as governmental agencies and large enterprises, and nationwide corporate product integration and promotion; (v) Hangzhou R&D, an entity that engages in developing network equipment as well as providing information technology support for mobile terminals, software and related services; (vi) Suzhou R&D, an entity engaged in

-3-

 

 

 


 

business development, software sales, system integration and others in the fields of cloud computing, big data and IT support; (vii) OSC, an entity that mainly provides customers with digital and intelligent services; (viii) China Mobile Group Design Institute Co., Ltd., an entity that mainly provides telecommunications network planning design and consulting services; and (ix) Chengdu ICT, an entity that mainly provides information communication technology research and development, supporting and operation services. China Mobile requested each of the direct suppliers to such Device Subsidiaries for Products containing 3TG to respond to the supply chain survey.

 

 

b.

China Mobile adopted the CMRT for purposes of the supply chain survey. China Mobile followed up with direct suppliers to obtain complete responses to the supply chain survey, verified the collected responses, and inquired about any discrepancies in the response provided. The results of the supply chain survey are reported annually to the Audit Committee under the board of directors of China Mobile.

 

 

After assessing the risks in its supply chain during the Reporting Period, China Mobile concluded that because suppliers of certain Products containing 3TG may have provided incomplete information regarding metal origins and conflict-free sourcing to China Mobile and the reliability of the information provided has yet to be verified, there could be risks that certain 3TG used in the manufacturing might have originated in the Covered Countries and may not have originated from recycled or scrap sources.

 

 

(iii)

Design and implement measures to respond to and mitigate identified risks:

 

 

a.

To evaluate and respond to identified risks, China Mobile relies on the suppliers’ responses to the CMRT. Since 2015, China Mobile has compared the names of the smelters and refiners identified in such responses against RMI’s Conformant Smelters & Refiners Lists, which set forth smelters and refiners that had successfully completed an assessment against RMI’s applicable responsible minerals assurance process standard (“RMAP”) or an equivalent cross-recognized assessment.

 

 

 

b.

Pursuant to China Mobile’s policies and guidelines regarding conflict minerals, for suppliers that procured 3TGs from smelters and refiners that are not included in RMI’s Conformant Smelters & Refiners List or if China Mobile becomes aware of any Product containing 3TG originated from the Covered Countries, China Mobile shall temporarily suspend trade with the relevant suppliers in order to achieve measurable risk mitigation, or terminate commercial relationships with such suppliers after risk mitigation attempts fail or where risk mitigation is not feasible. As of the filing date of this report, we have not identified any such suppliers.

 

 

 

(iv)

Carry out internal as well as independent third party audit of the due diligence practices in the supply chain:

 

 

As a downstream supplier of finished products, China Mobile has no direct commercial relationships with smelters or refiners. China Mobile’s due diligence efforts rely on cross-industry initiatives, such as RMI, to conduct audits of the due diligence practices at identified points of the smelters and refiners in the supply chain. In addition, China Mobile’s internal audit department conducts audit review on the conflict mineral due diligence process on a yearly basis to ensure accuracy and establish closed-loop management.

 

-4-

 

 

 


 

 

 

(v)

Report annually on supply chain due diligence:

 

China Mobile reports annually on its supply chain due diligence by preparing this Conflict Minerals Report to disclose the description of the measures taken to determine the source and chain of custody of any of the necessary conflict minerals contained in China Mobile’s products, as well as the results of China Mobile’s due diligence. This Conflict Minerals Report is available on China Mobile’s corporate website (http://www.chinamobileltd.com/en/ir/sec.php). The information contained in such website is not a part of this Form SD.

 

 

C.

Risk Mitigation Steps China Mobile Takes

 

The due diligence process discussed above is an ongoing process. At this time, China Mobile takes the following actions to improve the due diligence process and to further mitigate any risk that conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of Products could benefit or finance armed groups in the Covered Countries.

 

 

(i)

China Mobile supports cross-industry initiatives to define and improve industry best practices and improve China Mobile’s influence and leverage over the supply chain in accordance with the OECD Guidance.

 

 

(ii)

China Mobile works with its direct suppliers and directs them to obtain responses from all lower tier suppliers subject to the RCOI survey, and to improve the accuracy and completeness of the contents of the RCOI survey responses.

 

 

(iii)

China Mobile communicates its policy regarding conflict minerals to its suppliers and strives to incorporate such policy into future contract terms and specifications with its suppliers. China Mobile also explains the procedures of its RCOI survey in the supplier meetings and requests suppliers to cooperate with its effort to identify the source of the necessary conflict minerals.

 

 

(iv)

China Mobile conducts multiple checks on RCOI survey responses from direct suppliers to improve accuracy of those responses.
