Dated: May 31, 2016 | By: | /S/ CHARLES D. BOYNTON |
Name: | Charles D. Boynton | |
Title: | Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer |
Exhibit No. | Description |
1.01 | Conflict Minerals Report for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015. |
1. | Acknowledge SunPower’s Supplier Sustainability Guidelines, which include requirements regarding 3TG and responsible sourcing, and pass the same requirements on to their suppliers; and |
2. | Declare that all products supplied either do not contain 3TG that are necessary to their production or functionality, or, if they do, that they originate from non-conflict areas or from refiners or smelters that have been validated as being conflict free. |
1. | SunPower sent requests to all direct Suppliers to complete a CMRT. SunPower requested that the Suppliers furnish it with a completed CMRT at the product level. SunPower followed up by email or phone with the Suppliers that did not provide a response within the specified time frame. |
2. | SunPower reviewed the completed responses received from the Suppliers for incomplete responses, potential errors, inaccuracies and “red flags.” |
3. | SunPower reviewed the smelters and refiners identified to it by the Suppliers against those contained on the Smelter Reference List tab of the CMRT and the Commerce Department List. To the extent not on either of those lists, SunPower (a) requested that the Supplier confirm that the listed entity is a smelter or refiner, (b) consulted publicly-available information to attempt to determine whether the identified entity was a smelter or refiner or (c) attempted to contact the listed entity. |
4. | With respect to those responses that identified a smelter or refiner, SunPower also reviewed that information against the lists of Compliant and Active smelters and refiners published by the CFSI. 180 of the 258 identified smelters and refiners were listed as Compliant by the CFSI as of May 23, 2016 and 78 were listed as Active. |
5. | To the extent that a smelter or refiner identified by a Supplier was not listed as Compliant by the CFSI, SunPower searched public information to attempt to determine the mine or location of origin of the 3TG processed by the smelter or refiner and whether it obtains 3TG from sources that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in a Covered Country. |
6. | The compliance team reported the findings of its supply chain risk assessment to SunPower’s Sustainability Council. |
7. | In addition, to mitigate the risk that the necessary 3TG contained in SunPower’s in-scope products directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries, it: |
a. | Retained the Service Provider to manage data collection; and |
b. | Continued to refine its product scoping. |
• | Solar panels; and |
• | Balance of systems components. |
• | 249 smelters and refiners were identified by the Suppliers. |
• | 206 of the smelters and refiners, or 83%, were listed as Compliant by the CFSI. |
• | 34, or 13%, were listed as Active. |

a) | The smelters and refiners listed above were identified to SunPower by the Suppliers. Not all of the listed smelters and refiners may have processed the necessary 3TG contained in SunPower’s in-scope products, since some Suppliers reported at a “company level,” meaning that they reported the 3TG contained in all of their products, not just those in the products that they sold to SunPower. Some Suppliers also may have reported smelters and refiners that were not in SunPower’s supply chain due to over-inclusiveness in the information received from their suppliers or for other reasons. In addition, the smelters and refiners reflected above may not include all of the smelters and refiners in SunPower’s supply chain, since some Suppliers did not identify all of their smelters and refiners and because not all Suppliers responded to SunPower’s inquiries. |
b) | Smelter or refiner status information in the table is as of May 23, 2016. |
c) | “Compliant” means that a smelter or refiner was listed as compliant with the Conflict-Free Smelter Program’s (“CSFP”) assessment protocols, including through mutual recognition. Smelters or refiners that are listed as “Re-audit in process” are considered to be Compliant by the CFSP. Included smelters and refiners were not necessarily Compliant for all or part of 2015 and may not continue to be Compliant for any future period. |
d) | “Active” means that the smelter or refiner is listed by the CFSI as having submitted a signed Agreement for the Exchange of Confidential Information and Auditee Agreement contracts to the CFSP or, according to information published by the CFSI, the smelter has agreed to complete a CFSP validation audit within two years of membership issuance by the Tungsten Industry – Conflict Minerals Council. |
e) | “On Reference List Only” means the smelter or refiner is not listed as “Compliant” or “Active.” |
f) | Smelter or refiner status reflected in the table is based solely on information made publicly available by the CFSI, without independent verification by SunPower. |
g) | Country location is the location of the smelter or refiner is based solely on information made publicly available by the CFSI, without independent verification by SunPower. |
• | Continue to encourage Suppliers that provided company level information for 2015 to provide product level information for 2016 through ongoing outreach with these Suppliers. |
• | Continue to engage with Suppliers that provided incomplete responses or that did not provide responses for 2015 to help ensure that they provide requested information for 2016. |
• | Communicating its sourcing expectations to any new suppliers in 2016. |
