CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT

Introduction

This Report has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2014.

This Report relates to the process undertaken for Apple products that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, during calendar year 2014 and that contain gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, wolframite, tantalum, tin, and tungsten (collectively, the “Subject Minerals”).

These products are Apple’s iPhone®, iPad®, Mac®, iPod®, Apple TV®, displays, and Apple accessories.* Third-party products that Apple retails but that it does not manufacture or contract to manufacture are outside of the scope of this Report.

When this Report uses the term “conflict-free,” it means the minerals, smelters or refiners have been verified as complying with the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program (the “CFSP”) or an equivalent third-party audit program.

Apple’s Conflict Minerals Program

Apple is dedicated to ensuring ethical sourcing, and has made significant progress toward using only conflict-free minerals in its products. Rather than funnel its demand through a limited number of smelters and refiners, or avoid entirely those sourcing in Central Africa, Apple is expanding the base of smelters and refiners that have been verified as conflict-free.

Apple’s strategy of continuous engagement and accountability has driven real change. The number of conflict-free smelters and refiners in Apple’s supply chain has more than doubled in the past year, so that a majority of the identified and reported smelters and refiners as of December 31, 2014 have been verified as conflict-free. More than 88% of the identified smelters and refiners have either successfully completed conflict-free audits or have begun the audit process, and Apple is working with its suppliers to verify the rest or remove them from its supply chain.

Apple began investigating the uses of tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold in its products in 2009. In 2010, Apple became one of the first companies to begin mapping its supply chain to the smelter or refiner level, in order to identify the smelters and refiners its suppliers use and to understand potential entry points into its supply chain for tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold.

Since 2011, Apple has been driving smelters and refiners to comply with the CFSP or equivalent independent third-party audit programs. In February 2014, Apple announced that all tantalum smelters known to be in its supply chain had been designated conflict-free, and that remained the case throughout the year. Apple has also added another layer of accountability by publishing its smelters’ and refiners’ names, countries and CFSP participation status, and updating this list publicly each quarter.

The progress is clear. For calendar year 2014, Apple identified 233 smelters and refiners as potential sources of Subject Minerals that were reported to be in its supply chain at some point during the year. In order to provide the most current compliance status, Apple further narrowed this list to 225 smelters and refiners that Apple believes were operational and still in its supply chain as of December 31, 2014. Of those 225 smelters and refiners, 135 have been verified as conflict-free, and an additional 64 have begun the audit process.

The number of smelters and refiners in Apple’s supply chain as of December 31, 2014 that are verified as conflict-free or in the audit process, is more than double the comparable number for the prior year.

In early 2014, Apple launched a campaign that established strict deadlines for smelters and refiners to demonstrate their progress toward participating in a conflict minerals audit by the end of 2014. Unfortunately, there were four smelters and refiners that refused to engage in the process, and they have been notified of their termination. In addition, Apple newly engaged with 22 smelters and refiners in 2014 and is actively working to get them to participate in the process. Apple is giving them a deadline of compliance or participation by the end of 2015, or they will be removed from Apple’s supply chain. Apple will continue to keep up the pressure until all unaudited smelters and refiners are either verified or no longer in Apple’s supply chain.

In addition to engaging with smelters and refiners across the world, Apple has worked closely with the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (the “CFSI”) to provide financial and in-kind support and expertise. Apple has served in leadership roles on the CFSI, including on the audit review and steering committees. Apple helped drive improvements to the CFSI’s systems, processes, and audits, and Apple used its experience to train other CFSI members on how to effectively engage with smelters, refiners, and other stakeholders for maximum positive impact.

In order to expand the smelter base, Apple also has been encouraging a wide range of trade associations, enterprises in peer industries such as jewelry and banking, and metal exchanges around the world to conduct due diligence on their supply chains and use their influence to increase verified supply lines.

Apple remains committed to driving economic development and creating opportunities to source conflict-free minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) and adjoining countries. To that end, Apple is working with non-governmental organizations, trade groups, and government agencies to promote change. Apple has provided financial support for in-region programs, including the Conflict-Free Tin Initiative, the ITRI Tin Supply Chain Initiative, KEMET’s Partnership for Social and Economic Sustainability, Solutions for Hope, Partnership Africa Canada, and the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade. For example, Apple worked with Solutions for Hope to provide iPads and solar chargers to the Diamond Development Initiative to support a registration system for artisanal miners in DRC regions affected by conflict. Using a mobile mapping and survey application developed by Solutions for Hope, this registration enables artisanal miners to enjoy more formal protections and better economic opportunities. Apple also provided funding through the foundation Humanity United to advance Partnership Africa Canada’s work to track, certify, and export artisanal gold from eastern DRC, which includes the creation of economic incentives for local miners and traders to sell via legal sales channels.

Apple requires all of its suppliers to adhere to its Conflict Minerals Standard. This standard is available on Apple’s website, along with Apple’s annual supplier responsibility progress reports. Apple expects its suppliers to implement policies and due diligence measures in accordance with its Conflict Minerals Standard, and the suppliers are required to make their policies available to Apple. If a supplier fails to comply with Apple’s Conflict Minerals Standard, Apple will take measures up to and including termination of its relationship with the supplier.

Continuous Improvement in Understanding Sources of Minerals

In order to understand the sources of the Subject Minerals used in its complex and multi-tiered supply chain, Apple has implemented an extensive survey program. Apple’s Conflict Minerals Standard requires that all of its suppliers map their supply chains down to the smelters and refiners and report the results to Apple. Accordingly, in 2014, Apple surveyed more than 450 suppliers that contribute to Apple products.

Apple suppliers have in some cases reported smelters and refiners that Apple believes are not operational or may have been misidentified as smelters and refiners. As a result, Apple continues to conduct independent research on smelters and refiners and to work with suppliers throughout its supply chain to re-validate, improve, and refine their reported information, taking into account supply chain fluctuations and other changes in status or scope and relationships over time.

Apple continues to monitor reported and newly identified smelters and refiners to drive them to be verified. New smelters and refiners continue to be identified as a result of improved reporting through multiple layers of the supply chain, corporate acquisitions, and new smelting and refining operations that desire to sell into Apple’s supply chain. Once a smelter or refiner is identified in Apple’s supply chain and is willing to participate in the audit, prior to being audited, a smelter or refiner must prepare a significant amount of relevant documentation, improve systems that may be lacking, develop and implement policies around sourcing, train staff, and engage in in-region sourcing programs, as applicable.

Based on information received through the CFSP or equivalent independent third-party audit programs, as well as a third-party review of publicly available information about identified smelters and refiners, Apple has documented the country of origin information of particular smelters and refiners. The CFSP collects evidence from smelters and refiners demonstrating that responsible sourcing procedures and systems have been implemented. The CFSP works with complementary programs in Central Africa to validate conflict-free mine sites and trade routes. Regional traceability and other third-party programs work with non-governmental organizations, government programs, and the CFSP to improve procedures and systems when incidents occur and they communicate relevant information to program participants as it becomes available. Apple continues to engage with these third-party programs to encourage further improvement and reliability. Apple believes that independent third-party audit programs provide a reasonable basis for companies to conclude that smelters and refiners have procedures and systems for determining if the smelters and refiners process Subject Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups.

Due Diligence

Design of Due Diligence

Apple designed its due diligence measures to conform to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Second Edition, including the related supplements on tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold.

Due Diligence Measures Performed

Based on its assessment of survey responses received from suppliers, Apple implemented due diligence measures with 233 smelters and refiners that were identified as potential sources of Subject Minerals in Apple’s products. These due diligence measures included engaging directly with unverified smelters and refiners to drive them to comply with the CFSP or an equivalent third-party audit program. Apple personnel also conducted 38 visits with smelters and refiners and traders, and established action plans with particular smelters and refiners, to prepare them to undergo conflict minerals audits. Additionally, Apple commissioned a third-party review of publicly available information on the identified smelters and refiners reported to Apple, providing additional information to determine the country of origin of those smelters that have not gone through the CFSP or an equivalent independent third-party audit.

Apple also directed its suppliers to ensure that their smelters and refiners undergo audits to verify compliance with the CFSP or an equivalent audit program. Where particular smelters or refiners were unwilling to engage with Apple or seek compliance with the CFSP or equivalent independent third-party audit programs, Apple required its suppliers to terminate their relationships with those smelters and refiners, and/or work with their suppliers to remove these smelters and refiners from their supply chain. It can take many months to communicate requirements down through the various levels of the supply chain and reach direct customers of a smelter or refiner, as well as several reporting cycles through multiple levels of the supply chain to confirm a smelter or refiner has been removed from a supply chain and from the conflict minerals reporting associated with it.

Risk Mitigation and Future Due Diligence Measures

Apple will keep improving its due diligence measures by taking the following steps, among others:

Determination

Based on the information provided by Apple’s suppliers and its own due diligence efforts with known smelters and refiners through December 31, 2014, Apple believes that the facilities that may have been used to process the Subject Minerals in Apple products include the smelters and refiners listed in Annex I below.

Based on these due diligence efforts, Apple does not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of the Subject Minerals in its products or whether the Subject Minerals in its products are from recycled or scrap sources. However, based on the information provided by Apple’s suppliers, smelters, and refiners, as well as from the CFSI and other sources, Apple believes that the countries of origin of the Subject Minerals contained in its products include the countries listed in Annex II below, as well as recycled and scrap sources.

Of the 233 smelters and refiners of Subject Minerals identified for calendar year 2014, 24 smelters and refiners were identified as sources of Subject Minerals from the DRC or adjoining countries. Of these 24, 21 were determined CFSP-compliant and one was found to be no longer operational. One of the two remaining is preparing to be audited. The final remaining refiner has not yet undertaken a third-party audit, and Apple is requiring its suppliers to remove the refiner from its supply chain. Apple found no reasonable basis for concluding that this refiner, or the other smelter preparing to be audited, sourced Subject Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups.

Apple has provided information as of the date of this Report. Subsequent events, such as the inability or unwillingness of any suppliers, smelters or refiners to comply with Apple’s Conflict Minerals Standard, may affect Apple’s future determinations under Rule 13p-1.
