5.1.1 Conflict Minerals
Many industries, including the semiconductor and electronics industries, utilize
tin, tantalum, tungsten (also known as the 3Ts), and gold in their products and
manufacturing processes. Gold and the minerals used to produce tin, tantalum
and tungsten are mined throughout the world, including in central and southern
Africa. The operators of some mines extracting these minerals in central and
southern Africa, particularly in The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the
countries sharing an internationally recognized border with the DRC (the
Covered Countries), are known to have inflicted rampant human rights abuses on
the population of The Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries and
to have used the proceeds from the trade in these minerals to engage in violent
conflicts in the DRC and its surrounding areas.
In 2010, the United States federal government enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which, among other things,
contained a section addressing the humanitarian goal of ending the violent
conflict and human rights abuses in the DRC and surrounding areas which are
being funded by the exploitation and trade of “conflict minerals” mined in that
region. As required by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act, a final rule has been
adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which
requires, beginning on or before May 31, 2014, all publicly reporting companies
for which conflict minerals are “necessary to the functionality or production” of
products they manufacture or contract to manufacture to make disclosures about
their use of “conflict minerals” in their products and manufacturing processes.

“Conflict minerals,” as defined in the final rule, include cassiterite, columbitetantalite and wolframite (and their derivatives, tin, tantalum and tungsten), gold
and any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to
be funding conflict in the Covered Countries.
5.1.1.1 Conflict Minerals Policy
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. is committed to the responsible sourcing of
minerals. We have established programs to regularly evaluate our supply
chain and require our suppliers to do the same. Suppliers are prohibited
from supplying Skyworks with materials known to be derived from the

5.1.2 Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention (Freely Chosen
Employment)
As a member of the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) we have
shown our commitment to environmental and social responsibility. Since 2004,
the EICC has built upon the Code of Conduct which prohibits the use of forced,
bonded, indentured labor or involuntary prison labor. We require our suppliers to
develop their systems in alignment with the Code and take seriously all forms of
non-conformance. The EICC also had a Freely Chosen Employment (FCE) task
force (on which Skyworks was a participating member) designed to help identify
opportunities to share best practices among members, expand the Code of
Conduct, and make recommendations on available tools and training.
Skyworks (both Skyworks directly and all our supply chain partners) requires
compliance to all labor and ethics laws as applicable to the country where work is
being performed. We further prohibit the use of human trafficking or slavery,
including involuntary or bonded labor, or indentured servitude. Labor policies
can be referenced on our intranet site at: http://skylink/Dept/HR/Pages/Policiesand-Guidelines.aspx . Ethics policies can be referenced on our intranet site at:
http://skylink/Dept/Legal/Pages/Codes.aspx. Note: These are intranet links and
do not function outside of Skyworks. Specific requirements for our supply chain
are captured within the Supplier Sustainability Specification – SQ03-0337.
5.2 Health & Safety
