Sanmina Corporation
 
Conflict Minerals Report
 
For The Year Ended December 31, 2017
 
I.        Company Background
 
Sanmina Corporation (“Sanmina”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a leading global provider of integrated manufacturing solutions, components, products and repair, logistics and after-market services. We provide these comprehensive offerings primarily to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in the following industries: communications networks, storage, industrial, defense and aerospace, medical, energy and industries that include embedded computing technologies, such as point-of-sale devices, casino gaming and automotive.
 
II.        Performance of Due Diligence on the Source and Chain of Custody of Conflict Minerals
 
We believe that substantially all of the electronic and electro-mechanical products we manufactured for our customers during 2017 include components that contain Conflict Minerals1 necessary to the functionality of such products. As a result and as required by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), we surveyed and performed a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) on a subset of our supplier group that we determined provided components containing Conflict Minerals. The purpose of the RCOI was to determine whether or not the source of such Conflict Minerals was one of the Covered Countries2 or whether such Conflict Minerals came from recycled or scrap sources.
 
Based upon our RCOI, we know or have reason to believe that some components used in some of our customers’ products manufactured during 2017 contained Conflict Minerals originating from the Covered Countries and further that such Conflict Minerals were not sourced solely from recycled or scrap sources. As a result and as also required by the Rule, we undertook further due diligence on the smelter group identified to us by our suppliers as providing Conflict Minerals that originated in the Covered Countries. The purpose of this further due diligence was to attempt to ascertain whether the sourcing of Conflict Minerals from these smelters or suspected smelters benefitted armed groups in the Covered Countries. We performed this due diligence in conformity with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidelines for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas (the “OECD Guidance”) and related supplements.
 
III.        Design of Due Diligence Process and Alignment to the OECD Guidance
 
A.
We have established Strong Internal Company Management Systems
 
A Conflict Minerals working group led by our global supply chain organization has established and implemented our Conflict Minerals Policy and regularly reports on its activities to company senior management;
 
We use the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “Template”)3 developed by the Responsible Business Alliance (formerly, the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition) (the “RBA”) to collect Conflict Minerals information from our suppliers;
 
                                           
1 Conflict Minerals are defined as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.
2 Under the Rule, the Covered Countries are defined as the following countries: Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
3 The Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company’s supply chain.





1




We include in our supplier requirements documents and contracts provisions requiring suppliers to recognize our policy and to participate in our RCOI and due diligence activities;
 
We maintain records of our RCOI and due diligence activities consistent with our record retention policy; and
 
We provide a grievance reporting system that allows employees to report concerns, including those relating to Conflict Minerals.
 
B.
We have implemented procedures to identify and assess risks in the supply chain
 
We employ procedures to identify suppliers which may potentially supply components containing Conflict Minerals;
 
We ask these suppliers to report their Conflict Minerals sourcing activities using the Template in an attempt to identify the smelters and refiners involved and the country of origin of such Conflict Minerals;
 
We follow up with suppliers who do not respond by our deadlines; 
 
We compare smelters and refiners identified by our suppliers against the Conformant Smelters and Refiners List (formerly, the EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Smelter List) (the “Conformant Smelters List”)4 maintained by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (formerly, the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative) ; and
 
We have documented country of origin information using various third party sources, such as the Conformant Smelters List.
 
C.
We have designed and implemented a strategy to respond to such risks as they are identified
 
We contact direct suppliers to obtain additional information regarding smelters or refiners who may pose a risk of supplying Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly benefit armed conflict in the Covered Countries;
 
We have worked to improve our suppliers’ understanding of the Rule and to improve their response rate to our queries and the quality of their responses, primarily through enhancing our supplier requirements documents and through follow-up conversations during our due diligence process;
 
We utilize the Conformant Smelters List to identify smelters not participating in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (formerly, the Conflict Free Smelter Program) established by the Responsible Minerals Initiative and request, through the suppliers that have identified them, and also through direct outreach to the smelters, that they participate in such process;
 
We bring to the attention of our customers the discovery of information that leads us to conclude that the sourcing of components or materials for our engagement with them if required by them benefits armed groups in the Covered Countries;
 
When the decision of components sourcing is within our control, we will take steps over time to utilize suppliers who do not source their Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries or who participate in conflict-free smelter programs, such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process; and
 
                                          
4 The Conformant Smelters List is generally understood to contain the names of smelters from whom procurement of Conflict Minerals does not benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. However, we do not express an opinion as to whether or not the sourcing of Conflict Minerals from these smelters actually does not benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.






2




Our Conflict Minerals working group reports the results of our due diligence efforts to Company management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
 
D.
We support industry organizations carrying out third party audits of smelters and refiners facilities and processes
 
We maintain membership in the RBA, which develops and implements audit procedures for refiners and smelters.
 
E.
We report on our due diligence measures
 
We publicly disclose our Conflict Minerals policy on our corporate web site at http://www.sanmina.com/social-responsibility/ethics-governance/conflict-minerals-policy/; and
 
We publicly report on our due diligence efforts on an annual basis through this Conflict Minerals Report available at http://www.sanmina.com/social-responsibility/ethics-governance/conflict-mineral-reports/.
 
IV.        Description of Due Diligence Measures performed for the 2017 Reporting Year
 
A.
We conducted a survey of suppliers whose products may include Conflict Minerals using the Template through an independent supply chain compliance engagement firm. A total of 2,052 suppliers were identified as in-scope for Conflict Minerals regulatory purposes and were contacted as part of the RCOI process. The response rate among these suppliers was approximately 62%, covering approximately 78% of total spend with such suppliers. 
 
B.
Through our supply chain compliance engagement firm we collected completed Templates from our suppliers and followed up with suppliers who provided incomplete or inconsistent responses.

C.
We evaluated further information provided to us by our independent supply chain compliance engagement firm about the smelters identified to us through our due diligence process. 

D.
We confirmed whether the smelters identified by our suppliers through the Template were included on the Conformant Smelter List.
 
E.
For smelters not included on the Conformant Smelters List, we requested, both directly and through the suppliers that identified them, that they participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process.
 
V.         Additional Information
 
A.            Facilities Used to Process Necessary Conflict Minerals
 
Below is a list of smelters and refineries reported to us by our suppliers on Templates we collected for the 2017 reporting period. Since most suppliers provided us Templates and smelter information at the company level, rather than specifically on material supplied to Sanmina, not all of these smelters may have been used to process the Conflict Minerals contained in our products during 2017.

Approximately 83% of the smelters listed above either appear on the Conformant Smelter List or have indicated they will participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process. Each of the remaining smelters will receive an email requesting that they participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process.
 
B.             Country of Origin of Necessary Conflict Minerals Contained in Sanmina Products, If Known
 
Below is the list of the countries reported as countries of origin by our suppliers on the Templates we collected, and therefore could be countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in our products in 2017.
 
Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil, Burundi, Cambodia, Canada, Central African Republic, Chile, China, Colombia, Congo (Brazzaville), Czech Republic, Djibouti, DRC- Congo (Kinshasa), Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Guinea, Guyana, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Japan, Jersey, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Korea, Republic of, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mali, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, South Sudan, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, Viet Nam, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

C.             Efforts to Determine Mine or Location of Origin
 
Our efforts to determine mine or location of origin of Conflict Minerals used in our products consisted primarily of our participation in the RBA and our review of information reported by our suppliers. As described above, we obtain smelter information, including when reported, mine or location of origin, from our suppliers using the Template. In addition, we sought additional information on mines and locations of origin using the Conformant Smelters List. Finally, we retained an external consultant to review any additional publicly available information regarding mines and locations of origin for the smelters reported to us by our suppliers.

D.
Steps to Improve Our Due Diligence in 2018
 
In situations in which we control the sourcing decision, we will continue to encourage suppliers which have reported use of smelters not listed in the Conflict Free Smelter List in the past to cause such smelters to participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process or similar programs.
 
We will use information gathered for our 2017 Conflict Minerals reporting activities to refine the list of suppliers to which we send the Template and to focus more outreach efforts on suppliers who have in the past provided information requiring further validation.
