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 2020. Zebra’s process to exercise due diligence and to determine country of origin was based on the following approach:

 

  1)

Identification of Zebra products that contain 3TG metals necessary to the functionality or production of said products;

 

  2)

Collection and review of supplier conflict minerals reports for completeness and accuracy;

 

4

  3)

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

 

  4)

Review and report results.

Zebra supports an industry initiative which audits the due diligence activities the smelters and refiners: that industry initiative is the Responsible Minerals Initiative (the “RMI”), which was formerly known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), organized and operating under the auspices of the Responsible Business Alliance (“RBA”) [formerly known as Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”)].

The RMI provides companies with tools and resources to make sourcing decisions that improve regulatory compliance and support responsible sourcing from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. The RMI designed and manages the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”), formerly the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”), to identify the smelters that process 3TG and to independently audit those smelters to certify those whose operations are conformant with the RMI RMAP audit protocol. The data on which we relied for certain statements in our Conflict Minerals Report was obtained through our membership in RMI using the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry report for members—-Zebra’s RMI member code for 2020 reporting is V472021-3-26-ZKXB.

The Zebra collection and diligence process utilized the RMI “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 the smelters and refiners being utilized. Throughout the data collection process for the 2020 reporting year, Zebra continued to utilize the latest version of the CMRT during our due diligence process, CMRT v6.01, which published in May of 2020.

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 Procurement identified 238 active suppliers comprising approximately 99.3% of Zebra’s 2020 spend on component parts supplied and used in the manufacture of Zebra products during 2020.

 

  •  

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 Zebra—including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from upstream suppliers. As part of the RCOI, Zebra utilized the industry developed CMRT survey tool, which requests 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 potentially sourcing from smelters or refiners known to directly or indirectly support conflict in the Covered Countries.

We conducted our data collection by approaching suppliers directly to request completion of the currently available CMRT and asked them to submit the data to us by the 2020 year-end. In total, Zebra collected and reviewed 3TG information for 232 unique suppliers representing 99% of our total spend during 2020 [six (6) suppliers failed to respond to Zebra’s direct request]. We have reviewed CMRT declarations for completeness and consistency and used the RMI smelter/refinery database tool (RBA SOR Master formerly known as CM Master), updated monthly, for smelter validation. Additionally, we used an independent research of public domain information to determine non-certified smelters’ potential risk.

 

5

  •  

Identify smelters/refiners – For 2020, Zebra’s suppliers identified 338 smelters or refiners in their CMRT survey responses. In finalizing our data analysis, we relied upon the RMI RCOI table for RMI members-only data for certified conflict-free smelters or refiners; RMI due diligence library; RBA SOR Master, which was updated monthly; and our independent research of NGO sites and publicly available information for smelter validation. We evaluated the reported smelters and refiners against the list of smelters and refiners listed on the RMI’s Standard Smelter List as having valid smelting or refining operations, and against the list of smelter facilities designated as “conformant” by the RMI’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 these reviews, 268 or 80% of reported smelters or refiners are either certified as conformant or are engaged in the RMI RMAP, and a total of 70 smelters or refiners and recyclers are not considered “conformant”.

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 are unable to verify with certainty the source and chain of custody of all 3TGs used in our products. Please see the facilities listed in Table 1 to this Report for the list of facilities that have been reported as the source of 3TGs used in the manufacturing of Zebra products during the 2020 reporting year.

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

 

Smelters*

   

Tantalum

      Tin      Tungsten     

Gold

     

Totals

  

Number of smelters reported

      38        79        50        171        338  

Number of smelters listed as conformant (passed Audit by RMI, LBMA, RJC)

      38        67        47        116        268  

 

*

The table represents those smelters and refiners disclosed by our suppliers that are listed on the RMI’s Standard Smelter List as having valid smelting or refining operations in 2020, and those which are listed as being certified as conformant or engaged in RMAP, based upon the information available on the RMI’s website (http://www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org/ ).

 

V.

Conflict Minerals Report

After conducting a reasonable country of origin inquiry and our supply chain due diligence assessment, Zebra has been unable to determine whether sourcing of 3TG metals used in its products directly or indirectly contributed to armed conflicts in the Covered Countries. Accordingly, this Conflict Minerals Report has been filed with the SEC and is publicly available on Zebra’s website under “AboutZebra”/“Compliance”/“ConflictMineralsDisclosureReport” 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 diligence efforts, we have concluded that as of December 31, 2020, our products are not considered to be “DRC conflict free” (as defined). Zebra is making this determination because we have concluded in good faith that during 2020, we do not have sufficient information from suppliers or other sources to conclude at this time 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 remains ongoing, and we continue to 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 Responsible Minerals 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 2020.
