Nielsen Holdings plc

Conflict Minerals Report for the Year Ended December 31, 2020

This Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”). Rule 13p-1 was adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 requiring reporting companies to make disclosures of cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, tin, tantalum and tungsten (“3TG”) in their products. Rule 13p-1 imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants to determine whether 3TG are necessary to the production or functionality of their products, and if so, if the 3TG originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia (together, the “Covered Countries”). We are unable to state the origin of the 3TG in all of our products. For that reason, we are required under Rule 13p-1 to submit to the SEC this CMR as an exhibit to Form SD. Consistent with Rule 13p-1 and the SEC’s 2014 statement,1 this CMR is not required to be accompanied by an independent private sector audit.

In accordance with Rule 13p-1, this report is available on our website at www.nielsen.com/investors.

Company Overview

This CMR has been prepared by the management of Nielsen Holdings plc (referred to herein as “Nielsen,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The information includes the activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated. Nielsen is a leading global data, measurement, and analytics company that provides a holistic and objective understanding of the media industry. With offerings spanning audience measurement, audience outcomes and content, Nielsen offers its clients and partners simple solutions to complex questions and optimizes the value of their investments and growth strategies. It is the only company that can offer de-duplicated cross-media audience measurement. Audience is Everything to Nielsen and its clients, and Nielsen is committed to ensuring that every voice counts. Nielsen offers measurement and analytics services in nearly 60 countries, with its registered office located in Oxford, the United Kingdom and its headquarters located in New York, United States, and with 2020 annual revenues of $6.29 billion.

Nielsen Audio, Inc. (“Nielsen Audio”), a subsidiary of Nielsen, contracts to manufacture meters and encoders for the collection of data. Certain 3TG are necessary to the functionality of such meters and encoders. The meters and encoders are generally intended for Nielsen Audio’s use, but some of them are sold to third parties. In 2020, Nielsen Audio sold approximately 6% of all meters and encoders to third parties. Of the total Nielsen revenue in 2020, approximately .01% was derived from meter and encoder sales.

This CMR details Nielsen’s calendar year 2020 process for gathering data to comply with Rule 13p-1 and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas.

Statement on the Effect of the Recent Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule, Keith F. Higgins, Director, SEC Division of Corporation Finance, April 29, 2014


Supply Chain and Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

We rely on our direct suppliers of the relevant equipment to provide information with respect to the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us, including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers. In almost all cases, the information relating to the 3TG contained in our products is derived from lower tier suppliers. Contracts with our suppliers can be multi-year contracts, and we cannot unilaterally impose new contract terms and flow-down requirements.

In our annual inquiry, we survey our direct suppliers identified to be in scope and analyze survey results and follow up on responses as we deem appropriate. During 2020, we conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine the origin of the 3TG in our products. The inquiry did not provide sufficient information to determine with specificity the countries of origin of the 3TG in our products or whether they are from recycled or scrap sources.

Due Diligence Framework

Established Company Plan

 

   

Established an internal management team and coordinator to ensure compliance with respect to the reporting requirements relating to 3TG. Our internal management team includes representatives from supply chain and procurement, engineering, legal and finance.

 

   

Determined data gathering and assessment procedures in order to understand the scope of our supply chain inquiry that we are required to undertake to comply Rule 13p-1.

 

   

Contracted with GreenSoft Technology, Inc. (“Greensoft”) to collect 3TG data from our component suppliers.

 

   

Maintained records of diligence efforts by implementing a company 3TG database. The 3TG database is the aggregated 3TG report and the collection report generated by Greensoft.

Identification of Relevant Components and Suppliers

 

   

Products: The products requiring 3TG data collection are the Portable People Meter (PPM) family of products designed by Nielsen Audio and manufactured by contract manufacturers.

 

   

Suppliers: The list of 128 component suppliers is contained in the bills of materials submitted to GreenSoft for data collection. The contract manufacturers are limited to utilizing components from the approved suppliers provided by Nielsen Audio.

Supplier Response Validation

Nielsen contracted with GreenSoft to collect 3TG data from our component suppliers. Greensoft utilizes the Conflict Minerals Reporting template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative to determine the usage of 3TG by suppliers, assists suppliers in filling out the template, validates and corrects templates, alerts Nielsen if any 3TG originated in Covered Countries, generates an aggregated 3TG report based on bills of materials, and provides a collection report with hyperlinks to each template. Nielsen assesses the responses received from our suppliers and engages with them on their particular responses.

Supplier responses should contain all required data in the template. If responses are incomplete or inconsistent, the supplier is contacted and asked for missing or supplemental information. Greensoft conducts most of this validation process. Nielsen checks 3TG data collected by Greensoft against the complete list of materials within each component disclosed to us by our suppliers of our components to verify metal content matches. Nielsen checks smelter status claims received in templates to known smelter information. If template responses are insufficient or absent, Nielsen examines each case


individually and evaluates its response based on the likelihood of 3TG being present, the specific component, and the availability of such component from other sources. Possible responses are suspension of purchasing this component from this supplier, working with the supplier to obtain the 3TG data necessary for a determination of its sourcing, or designing out this particular component from our products going forward.

Due Diligence Results

We conducted a survey of our relevant 128 suppliers and refiners with the assistance of GreenSoft and received responses from 127 of them, or 99%. Based on the responses received, we are unable to validate with specificity the country of origin of the 3TG in our products.

Set forth in Annex 1 is a list of known smelters that may be in our supply chain for the products we contract to manufacture and sell to third parties.

Steps Taken to Mitigate Risk

In addition to following up with suppliers who have not properly responded to our 3TG survey, we have taken the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary 3TG in our products could directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

 

  a

Included a 3TG sourcing clause in new or renewed supplier contracts.

 

  b

Engaged with suppliers and directed them to training resources to attempt to increase the response rate and improve the content of the supplier survey responses.

As we enter into new contracts for these materials, or our contracts expire and are renewed, we have added a 3TG clause requiring suppliers to provide 3TG sourcing and smelter information. Nielsen believes that it will take a number of years to ensure that all our supplier contracts contain appropriate sourcing clauses. Until that time, as described below, we are working with our supply chain to encourage them to provide the 3TG sourcing information until the contracts can be amended.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed in this CMR, including in particular, efforts to further mitigate risks that 3TG in our products could directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries, include forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include those that may be identified by words such as “will,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could” and similar expressions. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results and events could differ materially from what presently is expected. Factors leading thereto may include, without limitation, the risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and financial markets, the uncertainties relating to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Nielsen’s business, the final calculation of the gain on the sale with respect to our Global Connect business, which is currently pending finalization of various estimates, the failure of our new business strategy in accomplishing our objectives, conditions in the markets Nielsen is engaged in, behavior of customers, suppliers and competitors, technological developments, as well as legal and regulatory rules affecting Nielsen’s business and other specific risk factors that are outlined in our disclosure filings and materials, which you can find on http://www.nielsen.com/investors, such as our 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports that have been filed


with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please consult these documents for a more complete understanding of these risks and uncertainties. This list of factors is not intended to be exhaustive. Such forward-looking statements only speak as of the date of this communication, and we assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors, except as required by law.
