Conflict Minerals Report

For the year ended December 31, 2016

 

Corporate Overview

 

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (“ASE”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is among the world’s leading companies in semiconductor packaging and testing sector. Our services include semiconductor packaging, production of interconnect materials, front-end engineering testing, wafer probing and final testing services, as well as integrated solutions for electronic manufacturing services in relation to computers, peripherals, communications, industrial, automotive, and storage and server applications. We utilize gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten which are necessary to deliver our packaging, materials and electronic manufacturing services.

 

We have manufacturing facilities located in Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Japan, Singapore, Korea and the United States that provide packaging, testing and materials services to many semiconductor companies around the world. A typical customer engagement involves receiving consigned silicon wafers from the customer, performing a series of manufacturing services to the wafers, and delivering a completed, packaged integrated circuit back to the customer.

 

Since our acquisition of a controlling interest in Universal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd. in February 2010, we provide a broad range of electronic manufacturing services to a global customer base. We have manufacturing facilities located in Taiwan, China and Mexico that provide electronic manufacturing services. In providing these services, we acquire numerous electronic and non-electronic components, and assemble them into sub-assemblies and finished products.

 

 

Product Scope

 

We determine gold, tin, tungsten or tantalum (“3TG” or “conflict minerals”) are “necessary to the functionality or production” of a product manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by ASE.

 

(1)For our packaging and materials services, we typically add gold and tin as direct materials in the manufacturing process, and we occasionally add tungsten and tantalum. We do not use gold, tin, tungsten or tantalum in our testing services.

 

(2)For our electronic manufacturing services, typical materials and components which we utilize include solder (tin based), electrolytic capacitors (tantalum bearing), integrated circuits (gold wire) and high temperature wires (tungsten). Gold, tin, tungsten and tantalum are essential to our electronic manufacturing services.

 

All packaging and materials services and electronic manufacturing services we provide contain one or more of the conflict minerals: gold, tin, tungsten or tantalum.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

 

We conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether 3TG have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or its adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”), or are from recycled or scrap sources.

 

Our RCOI included to:

 

(1)Identify our suppliers who provided us with materials containing 3TG and then use the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) to facilitate transparency of the supply chain regarding 3TG sourced from the smelters and refiners.

 

We identified 324 suppliers in the reporting period and used the CMRTs to identify the Smelters or Refiners (“SoRs”) of 3TG and their origin countries.

 

(i)For our packaging and materials services, a total of 115 suppliers provided us with materials containing 3TG.

 

(ii)For our electronic manufacturing services, we selected 209 suppliers from a total of 1,328 suppliers who provided us with 3TG materials by the following assessment criteria: (1) the suppliers with purchase amounts greater than US$1 million in 2016, which in aggregate accounted for more than 95% of our total purchase amount, and (2) the suppliers whose conflict minerals are used in the services we provide to our top three customers.

 

(2)Confirm with our suppliers that they are in compliance with our conflict minerals policy and their covenant to disclose the source information of the smelters and refiners under the representation letters.

 

Based on our RCOI results, we have reason to believe that the conflict minerals in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries or may not come from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in our products.

 

Below are the results of our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry, or RCOI.

Part I. Due Diligence

 

Design of Due Diligence

 

ASE designed its due diligence measures to conform to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition (the “OECD Guidance”), including the related supplements on tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold.

 

Due Diligence Measures Performed

 

OECD Step 1 Establish strong company management systems
A. Adopt and clearly communicate to suppliers and public

The ASE Group Corporate Policy for Sourcing Conflict Minerals is posted on our website (and attached here as Annex A) to address our commitment to exercise due diligence in accordance with the OECD Guidance.

 

Additionally, we distribute our conflict minerals policy to each of our suppliers of conflict minerals who must agree that the policy will be complied with and required each supplier to certify they understand our conflict minerals policy and will comply with its covenants.

 

B. Structure internal management to support due diligence

Our conflict minerals management team is a comprehensive cross-functional team under the direction of our Chief Operating Officer (“COO”).

 

The team is responsible for implementing the conflict minerals compliance mechanism, including planning, analysis, tracking, monitoring, and communication and reporting for the business wide initiative.

 

C. Establish a system of controls and transparency over the mineral supply chain

Conflict minerals procedures are documented in our specifications system and managed by our conflict minerals management team. The bills-of-materials required for different customer products across all manufacturing operations are controlled by our manufacturing execution system software.

 

The primary method for gathering conflict mineral data is through the deployment and gathering of Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), which is developed by Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). We store such data and maintain other related records for a minimum of five years in a comprehensive filing system.

 

Aligned with industry practice, we utilize a conflict minerals data tool to manage a large number of suppliers’ CMRTs, auto-validates smelter status with updated CFSI smelter list and aggregates smelter reporting for our customers.

 

 

11

 

 

 

D. Strengthen company engagement with suppliers ASE communicates our conflict minerals policy and requirements to relevant suppliers through supplier’s representation letter. In addition to the formal written documentation, ASE is building person-to-person links between employees and suppliers to improve the quality and consistency of supplier communications.   We hold an annual supplier seminar to announce new requirements, and provide training to suppliers to enable them to better understand how to improve their conflict minerals monitoring mechanism, including smelter data quality.   We amended and added conflict minerals terms to our ASE Group Purchase Order pursuant to which our suppliers agree (i) to use industry standard efforts to ensure 3TG materials covered by the purchase order and sourced from mines in the DRC or the Covered Countries do not directly or indirectly finance illegal militia in the above-mentioned area, (ii) to promptly notify us if any materials covered by the purchase order do contain conflict minerals that are not DRC Conflict Free and to provide a report on the mine and/or smelter of origin of the conflict minerals and the related chain of custody and (iii) to only supply us with materials that contain DRC Conflict Free minerals sourced from certified DRC Conflict Free smelter and refinery programs.
E. Establish grievance mechanism

ASE encourages suppliers and employees to have open and honest dialog on issues of mutual interest.

 

We provide two email addresses (ASE_CM@aseglobal.com and conflictminerals@ms.usi.com.tw) for general surveys, inquiries and grievances regarding our conflict minerals program. Our conflict mineral mechanism can also be found on our website (http://www.aseglobal.com/en/Csr/SupplyChainDevelopment.asp and http://www.usish.com/english/minerals.asp).

OECD Step 2 Identify and assess risk in the supply chain
A. Identify risks in the supply chain

Our process for identifying conflict minerals risk in the supply chain is as follows:

 

(a)  Identify all our suppliers who provide direct materials and components which may contain conflict minerals being necessary to the functionality or production of our products.

 

(b)  Conduct an annual suppliers’ survey through the CMRTs to identify the SoRs and the origin countries of conflict minerals.

 

(c)  Review each received CMRT based on our internal standard procedure to check the quality such as the suppliers’ conflict minerals policies, suppliers’ data collection from next tier suppliers, and SoRs identification and disclosure.

 

(d)  For our electronic manufacturing services, depending on the complexity of the supply chain, we:  

 

 

12

 

 

 

·  Assess the value of the annual purchase volume of all conflict minerals.  

·  Prioritize conflict mineral sources by dollar volume to leverage impact from available analytical resources.

B. Assess risks of adverse impacts

(a) Assess data gathered on the CMRTs to identify potential inconsistencies or “red flags.”

(b) Define annual supplier risk criteria.

(c) Carry out on-site or document audit for suppliers determined as at-risk suppliers according to the risk criteria.

(d) Follow up as appropriate to resolve items of concern.

OECD Step 3 Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
A. Report finding to designated senior management Periodic reviews are held and status are reported to our COO and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) who are also our Corporate Sustainability Committee members and senior management in order for them to be aware of current conflict minerals compliance status.
B. Devise and adopt a risk management plan

Our risk management plan includes tracking SoRs information to check if they may be from DRC or the Covered Countries, or not from scrap or recycled sources.

 

We compare supplier smelter data to CFSI RCOI data to identify actual smelter origins.

 

Additionally, We use a corporate standard conflict minerals audit checklist and implement an on-site or document audit process to validate suppliers’ mechanisms related to important aspects of conflict minerals management.

 

Finally, we continue to work with non-compliant suppliers to obtain CFSP certification, or other independence third party audit program. Suppliers unwilling or incapable of achieving such certification are considered to be replaced by compliant suppliers.

C. Implement the risk management plan, monitor and track performance of risk mitigation efforts and report back to designated senior management

We use CMRTs and the up-to-date CFSP compliant smelter lists to monitor and track our suppliers and their SoRs information. For compliance year 2016, our packaging and materials services received CMRTs from 100% of our conflict minerals suppliers surveyed and electronic manufacturing services received CMRTs from 97% of our conflict mineral suppliers surveyed.

 

We request our suppliers to provide an updated response of their CMRTs if there is any change. We maintain a regular communication channel with our senior management as mentioned-above.

 

 

13

 

 

D. Undertake additional fact and risk assessments for risks requiring mitigation, or after a change of circumstances

We have begun supplier audits to assess the accuracy of data and statements made by larger suppliers. This program will be broadened over time.

 

As a member (code: ASEG) of the EICC and CFSI, RCOI data is accessible to use and to manage our suppliers’ smelters and refiners information.

OECD Step 4 Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at
identified points in the supply chain
 

For Compliance Year 2016, ASE has undertaken an Independent Private Sector Audit (IPSA) of our Conflict Minerals Report in compliance with the requirements set forth in the SEC Conflict Minerals Final Rule and subsequent SEC Guidance.

 

As a member of CFSI, we leverage the due diligence conducted on smelters by the CFSP which uses independent third-party auditors to audit the source of the conflict minerals used by smelters.

OECD Step 5 Report on supply chain due diligence.
  We report annually on our supply chain due diligence activities including the conflict minerals program in our annual sustainability report and we file a Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for Compliance Year 2016 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on or before the May 31, 2017 deadline in compliance with the SEC Conflict Minerals Final Rule and subsequent guidance. This information is publicly available on our company website at http://www.aseglobal.com/en/Csr/SupplyChainDevelopment.asp.

Part II. Due Diligence Determination and Product Declaration

 

Product Declaration

 

Our RCOI results did not provide us a sufficient level of confidence to enable us to report that all our products are conflict-free. Pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we therefore conducted additional due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals in our products in order to obtain reasonable and reliable evidence that the gold, tin, tungsten or tantalum used by us in 2016 either (i) did not directly or indirectly benefit violent organizations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjacent regions or (ii) came from recycled or scrap sources.

 

Based on our RCOI analysis and due diligence measures described in this report, we made the following product determinations.

 

Packaging and Materials Services:

 

We reasonably believe that the identified SoRs used in all our packaging and materials services products are DRC Conflict-Free.

 

Electronic Manufacturing Services:

 

We reasonably believe that the identified SoRs used in our System in Module/System in Package products, Wireless Modules, Visual Product Devices, and SSD are DRC Conflict-Free, and all other products from our electronic manufacturing services are DRC Conflict Undeterminable.

 

 

Glossary

 

A glossary of abbreviations and terms is included in Annex C.

Annex A – ASE Group Corporate Policy for Sourcing Conflict Minerals

 

The mining and distribution of “conflict minerals”1 originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) are sometimes controlled by violent organizations in order to fund conflict in that country and adjacent regions. Our industry supply chains are inadvertently subject to metals derived from these conflict minerals which can be introduced through the metals we use such as gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten. ASE Group is dedicated to the elimination of these conflict minerals in our supply chain and to using only responsibly sourced “conflict-free minerals”2. We expect our suppliers to source conflict-free minerals from smelters or refineries that have been certified by an independent third party audit program to fulfill our objective. It is also our objective to support the continued use of conflict-free minerals from the DRC and its adjacent regions such that responsible mining is not diminished. We exercise due diligence with our suppliers on the origin and supply chain of minerals in accordance with the “OECD Due Diligence for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas” to establish conflict minerals management mechanism.

 

All suppliers to ASE Group must support this policy by:

 

(a)Being diligent in their assessment and validation of their supply chains to ensure ASE Group’s objectives of a transparent supply chain and conflict-free purchases are inputs to the services and products we produce.

 

(b)Be in compliance at all times with all regional and international regulations for conflict minerals.

 

(c)Be in compliance at all times with industry standards for the sourcing and reporting of conflict minerals.

 

(d)Being diligent and accurate in their formal assurances of conflict-free minerals provided to us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1Conflict minerals are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives as defined in the Dodd-Frank Act section 1502 and SEC Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

2Conflict-free minerals are conflict minerals that through their distribution directly or indirectly do not benefit violent organizations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its adjacent regions.
