IV. Zebra’s Due Diligence Process

Zebra’s Conflict Minerals Report relates to the diligence process undertaken for Zebra products that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured on behalf of Zebra, during calendar 2016. Zebra’s process to exercise due diligence and to determine country of origin consisted of the following:

 

  1) Risk assessment of those Zebra products that could be potential sources of conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of Zebra products;

 

  2) Review of the data collection for completeness and accuracy for all Zebra component suppliers determined to be at risk for potential Conflict Minerals in their supplied components;

 

  3) Evaluation and verification of the data collected, including smelter information reported from each source; and

 

  4) Review and reporting of results.

Zebra supports an industry initiative that audits smelters’ and refiners’ due diligence activities: that industry initiative is the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), organized and operating under the auspices of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”). The CFSI designed and manages the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) to identify the smelters that process 3TG and independently audits those smelters to certify those that source only conflict-free 3TG. The data on which we relied for certain statements in this report was obtained through our membership in the CFSI, using the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry report for members—Zebra’s CFSI member code for 2016 is V323017-03-03ZKXB.

The Zebra process utilized the CFSI “Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”)”, which is the standardized reporting tool that facilitates the collection and transfer of information through the supply chain regarding mineral country of origin and smelters and refiners being utilized. Throughout the data collection process for the 2016 reporting year, Zebra continued to utilize the latest versions of the CMRT during our diligence process [Zebra utilized two (2) versions of the CMRT in 2016: versions 4.10 and 4.20].

The following steps were taken as part of our overall risk assessment process:

 

  •   Identify in-scope products – Zebra utilized a cross-functional team of employees to review the categories of products that we sell to determine the products that are in-scope as described in the Adopting Release. Through this analysis, Zebra identified 243 active suppliers comprising more than 98% of Zebra’s 2016 spend on component parts supplied and used in the manufacture of Zebra products during 2016.

 

  •  

Conduct Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) – Zebra procures its components from a variety of suppliers around the world, and we rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the source of the 3TG materials contained in components and products supplied to us—including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from upstream suppliers. As part of the RCOI, the industry developed the CMRT survey tool, which asks suppliers to identify the 3TG in their products, report information about the sources of the 3TG and provide other information that is used to assess whether they are sourcing from smelters or refiners known to directly or indirectly support conflict in the Covered Countries. We used the CMRT for our data collection, which utilized both the direct approach to suppliers and the engagement of a 3rd-party vendor to assist in obtaining supplier responses. We utilized other CFSI tools, including the smelter database, smelter status dashboard and the RCOI matrix to review and assess a supplier’s due diligence process and the smelter information it reported.

 

4

  In total, Zebra collected and reviewed 3TG information for 227 unique suppliers representing 98% of our total spend in 2016. Zebra evaluated for completeness and accuracy the survey responses and other information submitted by suppliers that provided products and components for in-scope Zebra products in compiling this Report. Where we identified a potential for sourcing from affected areas in survey responses, we conducted additional independent research of public domain information and NGO sites to reasonably determine the level of risk. Finally, to further evaluate the survey responses by our suppliers, Zebra utilized the information gained from our participation in the activities of the CFSI Smelter Engagement Team collecting smelter information.

 

  •   Identify smelters/refiners – Zebra’s 227 suppliers identified 312 smelters or refiners in their CMRT survey responses. In finalizing our data analysis, we relied upon the CFSI RCOI matrix, smelter database, smelter status dashboard and an independent research of publicly available information. We evaluated the reported smelters and refiners against the list of smelters and refiners listed on the CFSI’s Standard Smelter List as having valid smelting or refining operations, and against the list of smelter facilities designated as “conflict free” by the CFSI’s independent third-party smelter audit program or the equivalent certifying bodies such as London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”) and the Responsible Jewelry Council (the “RJC”); and based upon this analysis, 263 reported smelters or refiners are either certified as conflict-free or are preparing for CFSI audit (249 and 14, respectively), and a total of 49 smelters or refiners and recyclers are not considered conflict-free certified.

Based on the information received from our suppliers through Zebra’s diligence process, some information provided by our suppliers was unverifiable or incomplete and as such, we were unable to verify with certainty the source and chain of custody of all of the necessary 3TG in our products. The facilities listed in Table 1 to this Report have been used in processing materials used in manufacturing Zebra products during the 2016 reporting year.

We have consolidated the results of Zebra’s due diligence on the 3TG used in all our in-scope products, and said results are summarized in the below table:

 

Smelters*

    Tantalum      Tin      Tungsten      Gold  

Number of smelters reported

      44        84        44        140  

Number of smelters listed as certified conflict-free or preparing for audit

      44        75        39        105  

 

* The table represents those smelters and refiners disclosed by our suppliers that are listed on the CFSI’s Standard Smelter List as having valid smelting or refining operations in 2016, and those which are listed as being certified as conflict free or preparing for audit, based upon the information available on the CFSI’s website (www.conflictfreesourcing.org).

V. Conflict Minerals Report

After conducting a reasonable country of origin inquiry and our supply chain due diligence inquiry, Zebra has been unable to determine that certain portion of 3TG metals used in its products did not originate in the Covered Countries or come from recycled or scrap sources, or that such metals did not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. Accordingly, this Conflict Minerals Report has been filed with the SEC and is available on Zebra’s website under “Company Information”/“Compliance”/“Products and Materials Compliance” found on Zebra’s website at https://www.zebra.com/us/en/about-zebra/company-information/compliance/products-and-materials-compliance.html.

Product Determination

As a result of Zebra’s efforts, we have concluded that as of December 31, 2016, our products are not considered to be “DRC conflict free” (as defined). The Company is making this determination because we have concluded in good faith that during 2016, we do not have sufficient information from suppliers or other sources at this time to conclude whether the necessary conflict minerals for in-scope products are in fact DRC conflict free.

VI. Steps to Improve Due Diligence

Zebra expects that the amount of information globally on the traceability and sourcing of Conflict Minerals will continue to increase and this will enable Zebra to continue to make informed decisions regarding its supply chain. Zebra will continue to evaluate its diligence process and work to improve the diligence conducted to help reduce the risk that our necessary Conflict Minerals do not directly or indirectly benefit armed groups in the DRC and Covered Countries.

Zebra’s diligence of its suppliers will be ongoing and we will work to collect accurate and complete responses from our suppliers through the continued use of tools like the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. Zebra will also review and test its supplier responses against the information collected via independent conflict free smelter validation programs such as the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative.

Finally, Zebra will continue to monitor changes in circumstances that may impact our determination under the Act.

VII. Independent Private Sector Audit

As Zebra has not described any of its products as “DRC conflict free” in this Report, and pursuant to the Act, an audit is not required for calendar year 2016.
