SUPPLIER DIVERSITY Sanmina is committed to establishing collaborative partnerships with qualified, small and diverse suppliers and recognizes the importance of ensuring our supply base reflects the diversity of the communities where we live and do business. We believe that having a diverse supply base gives us a competitive advantage by harnessing the unique experiences, creativity and innovative solutions of small and diverse suppliers. Purchasing goods and services from minority, female and disabled veteran suppliers allows us to provide economic empowerment to a diverse supply base. CONFLICT MINERALS Sanmina complies with the due diligence and reporting requirements in Dodd-Frank and the relevant SEC rules regarding Conflict Minerals. On an annual basis, we collect data from our suppliers in line with Dodd-Frank Conflict Mineral legislation, on the use of Conflict Minerals in their supply chain. Each year Sanmina files with the SEC its Conflict Mineral Report outlining our methodology, the results of our country of origin inquiries and our due diligence efforts around Conflict Minerals. Our policy and SEC filings are publically available at Conflict Minerals. As a member of the RBA, Sanmina leverages the information and resources of the RBA and the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) in our country of origin inquiry and due diligence regarding sourcing of conflict minerals. Sanmina seeks to source responsibly and we encourage our customers and suppliers to do the same. CODE OF CONDUCT Sanmina prides itself on conducting its business ethically and responsibly and seeks to employ best practices in corporate governance and supply chain management. Sanmina has developed and implemented its Business Ethics Code of Conduct which sets out the measures we take to ensure we conduct business ethically and responsibly for the benefit of our shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders. Sanmina has a zero tolerance approach towards any form of slavery, servitude, forced or bonded labor or human trafficking. Sanmina has adopted the RBA Code of Conduct (the “Code”). The Code provides that adopters must not use forced, bonded, indentured or prison labor, that work shall be voluntary and that workers shall be free to leave their employment. This policy precludes the use of unlawful child labor in accordance with the RBA and international standards. All of Sanmina’s plants adhere to this provision of the Code and Sanmina has notified all of its suppliers of its expectation that they adhere to the Code. In addition, Major Suppliers (as defined by the RBA) must complete a questionnaire by which they confirm whether they, too, have adopted the Code or participate in an equivalent social code in the countries in which they operate. This information is used to help Sanmina decide whether to select a supplier (other factors include cost, alignment of operations with our own, customer equirements, quality, shipping time and warranty). We conduct our supplier reviews internally and not through a third party or independent, unannounced audit. If a supplier fails to live up to our standards, including those contained in the code with respect to labor rights and conditions, we may terminate our engagement with them and replace them with a supplier which does. Suppliers are requested to complete a human trafficking survey consisting of questions which are intended to gather information on the suppliers’ labor practices and their understanding and activities to help combat human trafficking. Sanmina evaluates the responses to identify any potential risks in the supply chain. We also provide periodic training to supply chain and other relevant employees in our company on the risks of human trafficking.
