1. | Establishment of Internal Management Systems |
a. | Conflict Minerals Policy. In 2013, MaxLinear adopted and communicated to its foundries and suppliers a written policy relating to the use of conflict minerals in its supply chain. A copy of MaxLinear’s Conflict Minerals Policy is publicly available at http://www.maxlinear.com/corporate-social-responsibility/. |
b. | Internal Management to Support Supply Chain Due Diligence. MaxLinear has established an internal compliance team with members from its operations, finance, and legal functions, and these individuals are charged with the management of our conflict minerals program, including the integration of Exar's conflict minerals program with that of MaxLinear. |
c. | Controls and Transparency. As described above, MaxLinear undertook an RCOI with respect to conflict minerals in our supply chain by providing the CFSI Template to each of our contract manufacturers and other first tier suppliers to gather information about their use of 3TG, the smelters and refiners in their supply chain that are included in our products, and the countries of origin for 3TG used in our products. |
d. | Supplier Engagement. MaxLinear continues to engage actively with its foundries and other first tier suppliers to strengthen its relationship with them. We have communicated to our foundries and other suppliers our commitment to source 3TG in a manner that does not, directly or indirectly, benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries, and we have communicated that we will consider alternative arrangements with other manufacturers or suppliers who are unable to cooperate in our due diligence efforts. |
e. | Grievance Mechanism. MaxLinear’s code of conduct includes procedures for reporting violations, and we provide mechanisms for anonymous reporting of violations or concerns about the conduct of our business, including our implementation and enforcement of our Conflict Minerals Policy. |
2. | Identification and Assessment of Risks in the Supply Chain |
3. | Designing and Implementing a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks |
4. | Carrying Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain |
5. | Reporting on Supply Chain Due Diligence |
