Introduction

Effective for the year ending December 31, 2015, Zebra Technologies Corporation (“Zebra”) must disclose whether any conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by Zebra (or contracted by Zebra to be manufactured) originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or a country adjoining the DRC [Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia, together the “Covered Countries”], or whether the conflict minerals are from recycled or scrap sources. The disclosure requirement arose from Congress’s determination that trade in conflict minerals in a DRC country is financing conflict in those areas, contributing to a humanitarian crisis.

The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the DRC or Covered Countries (“Conflict Minerals”).

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 2015. 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 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 Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition, Incorporated (“EICC”) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative’s (“GeSI”) Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). The CFSI designed and manages the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) to identify the smelters that process 3TG and independently audit 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 is V1820160229ZKXB.

The Zebra process utilized the “Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”)”, which is the standardized reporting template that facilitates the 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 2015 reporting year, Zebra continued to utilize the latest version of the CMRT during our diligence process [Zebra utilized three (3) versions of the CMRT in 2015: versions 4.01, 4.01a and 4.01b].

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 228 active suppliers comprising more than 95% of Zebra’s 2015 spend on component parts supplied and used in the manufacture of Zebra products during 2015.

 

•

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 materials 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 or not they are sourcing from known sources of 3TG that directly or indirectly support conflict in the Covered Countries. Zebra utilized the CMRT survey tool to assist Zebra in obtaining supplier responses and certifications and to confirm whether the manufacturer knows or suspects whether 3TG content is in their particular component part(s).

Zebra surveyed each of the 228 suppliers that our risk assessment indicated provided components used in the manufacture of Zebra products that could potentially contain Conflict Minerals. Zebra evaluated for completeness and accuracy the survey responses from these 228 suppliers that provided material and components for in-scope Zebra products in compiling this Report, and based upon apparent inconsistencies and the incompleteness of some survey responses, Zebra conducted additional independent research of public domain information and NGO site searches. Finally, Zebra utilized the information we gained from our participation in the activities of the CFSI Smelter Engagement Team collecting smelter information to evaluate the survey responses by our suppliers.

 

•

Identify smelters/processors – Zebra’s 228 suppliers identified 315 smelters in their CMRT survey responses. In finalizing our data analysis, we relied upon the RCOI tables prepared by CFSI, which included smelter audits either completed or in process. Zebra compared the smelters and refiners identified by suppliers via the CMRT supply chain survey against the list of smelters and refiners that are 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; and based upon this analysis, 212 smelters or refiners are certified as CFSI conflict-free, and 103 smelters or refiners and recyclers are not considered CFSI 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 have been used in processing materials used in manufacturing Zebra products during the 2015 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			49				91				47				128
Number of smelters listed as certified by the CFSI			46				58				29				79

 

*

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, and those which are listed as being certified as conflict free 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 of its conflict minerals did not originate in the Covered Countries or come from recycled or scrap sources, or that such conflict minerals 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 our efforts, Zebra has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, 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 2015, we do not have sufficient information from suppliers or other sources at this time to conclude whether the necessary conflict minerals 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 2015.
