Conflict Minerals Report
For
the year ended December 31, 2023
Corporate Overview
ASE Technology Holding
Co., Ltd. (“ASEH”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is the leading provider of semiconductor manufacturing
services in assembly and testing, and the provider of electronic manufacturing services. ASEH packages bare semiconductors into finished
semiconductors with enhanced electrical and thermal characteristics; provides testing services, including front-end engineering testing,
wafer probing and final testing services; engages in the designing, assembling, manufacturing and sale of electronic components and telecommunications
equipment motherboards and substrate production.
We have manufacturing
facilities located in Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and the United States of America that provide packaging,
testing and materials design and production services to many semiconductor companies around the world. A typical customer engagement
involves receiving consigned silicon wafers from the customer, performing a series of manufacturing services to the wafers, and delivering
a completed, packaged integrated circuit back to the customer.
We provide a broad
range of electronic manufacturing services to a global customer base through USI Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “USI”)
with facilities located in Taiwan, China, Mexico, Poland, Vietnam, Africa, and Europe. In providing these services, we acquire numerous
electronic and non-electronic components, and assemble them into sub-assemblies and finished products.
Product Scope
ASEH provides solutions,
including integrated design, manufacturing, packaging, testing, and electronic and substrate manufacturing. Raw materials used in aforementioned
service or product provided by us are in the scope of this report. We determine gold, tin, tungsten or tantalum (“3TG” or
“conflict minerals”) are “necessary to the functionality or production” of a product manufactured or contracted
to be manufactured by ASEH.
| (1) | For
our packaging and materials design and production services, we typically add gold and tin
as direct materials in the manufacturing process, and we occasionally add tungsten and tantalum.
We do not use gold, tin, tungsten or tantalum in our testing services. |
| (2) | For
our electronic manufacturing services, typical materials and components which we utilize include solder (tin based),
electrolytic capacitors (tantalum bearing), integrated circuits (gold wire) and high temperature wires (tungsten). Gold, tin, tungsten
and tantalum are essential to our electronic manufacturing services. |
All packaging, materials
design and production and electronic manufacturing services we provide contain one or more of the conflict minerals: gold, tin, tungsten
or tantalum.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
We conducted a reasonable
country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether 3TG have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”)
or its adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”), or are from recycled or scrap sources. Our RCOI included to:
| (1) | Identify
our suppliers who provided us with materials containing 3TG and then use the Conflict Minerals
Reporting Template (“CMRT”) developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative
(“RMI”) to facilitate transparency of the supply chain regarding 3TG sourced
from the smelters and refiners. We identified 389 suppliers in the reporting period and used
the CMRTs to identify the Smelters or Refiners (“SoRs”) of 3TG and their origin
countries. |
| (i) | For
our packaging and materials design and production services, a total of 170 suppliers provided
us with materials containing 3TG. |
| (ii) | For
our electronic manufacturing services, we selected 219 suppliers from a total of 4,360 suppliers
who provided us with materials containing metals by the following assessment criteria: (1)
the suppliers with purchase amounts greater than US$1.2 million in 2023, which in aggregate
accounted for more than 90% of our total purchase amount, and (2) the suppliers whose conflict
minerals are used in the services we provide to our top one customer. |
| (2) | Confirm
with our suppliers that they are in compliance with our conflict minerals policy and their
covenant to disclose the source information of the smelters and refiners under the representation
letters. |
Based on our RCOI
results, we have reason to believe that the conflict minerals in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries and conflict-affected
and high-risk areas (“CAHRA”) or may not come from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, we conducted due diligence on the
source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in our products.
Below are the results
of our RCOI.

Part I. Due Diligence
Design
of Due Diligence
ASEH 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: Third Edition (the “OECD Guidance”), including the
related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten.
Due
Diligence Measures Performed
| OECD Step 1 |
Establish
strong company management systems |
| A.
Adopt and clearly communicate to suppliers and public |
The
ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. Corporate Policy for Sourcing Conflict Minerals is
posted on our website (and attached here as Annex A) to address our commitment to exercise
due diligence in accordance with the OECD Guidance.
Additionally,
we distribute our conflict minerals policy to each of our suppliers of conflict minerals who must agree that the policy will be complied
with and require each supplier to certify they understand our conflict minerals policy and will comply with its covenants.
|
| B.
Structure internal management to support due diligence |
Our
conflict minerals management team is a comprehensive cross-functional team under the direction
of ASEH’s Corporate Sustainability Committee which is chaired by our Principal Executive
Officer.
The team is
responsible for implementing the conflict minerals compliance mechanism, including planning, analysis, tracking, monitoring, and
communication and reporting for the business wide initiative.
|
| C.
Establish a system of controls and transparency over the mineral supply chain |
Conflict
minerals procedures are documented in our specifications system and managed by our conflict
minerals management team. The bills-of-materials required for different customer products
across all manufacturing operations are controlled by our manufacturing execution system
software.
The primary
method for gathering conflict mineral data is through the deployment and gathering of Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”),
which is developed by Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). We store such data and maintain other related records
for a minimum of five years in a comprehensive filing system.
Aligned with
industry practice, we utilize a conflict minerals data tool to manage a large number of suppliers’ CMRTs, auto-validates smelter
status with
updated RMI smelter list and aggregates smelter reporting for our customers.
|
| D.
Strengthen company engagement with suppliers |
ASEH’s
subsidiaries communicate our conflict minerals policy and requirements to relevant suppliers
through our website. In addition to the website, ASEH’s subsidiaries are building person-to-person
links between employees and suppliers to improve the quality and consistency of supplier
communications.
ASEH’s subsidiaries
hold several supplier seminars/workshops at multiple manufacturing facilities to announce new requirements, and provide trainings
to suppliers to enable them to better understand how to improve their conflict minerals monitoring mechanism, including smelter data
quality.
We include conflict
minerals terms in our subsidiaries’ Purchase Orders pursuant to which our suppliers agree (i) to use industry standard
efforts to ensure 3TG materials covered by the purchase order and sourced from mines in the DRC or the Covered Countries do not directly
or indirectly finance illegal militia in the above-mentioned area, (ii) to promptly notify us if any materials covered by the purchase
order do contain conflict minerals that are not DRC Conflict Free and to provide a report on the mine and/or smelter of origin of
the conflict minerals and the related chain of custody and (iii) to only supply us with materials that contain DRC Conflict Free
minerals sourced from certified DRC Conflict Free smelter and refinery programs.
|
| E.
Establish grievance mechanism |
ASEH
encourages suppliers and employees to have open and honest dialog on issues of mutual interest.
We provide the
separate email addresses for our three subgroups (ASE_CM@aseglobal.com, petition@spil.com.tw, and conflict_minerals@usiglobal.com)
for general surveys, inquiries and grievances regarding our conflict minerals program. Our conflict mineral mechanism can also be
found on our website at https://www.aseglobal.com/csr/responsible-procurement/conflict-minerals-compliance
|
| OECD
Step 2 |
Identify
and assess risk in the supply chain |
| A.
Identify risks in the supply chain |
Our
process for identifying conflict minerals risk in the supply chain is as follows:
(a)
Identify all our suppliers who provide direct materials and components which may contain conflict minerals being necessary
to the functionality or production of our products.
(b)
Conduct an annual suppliers’ survey through the CMRTs to identify the SoRs and the origin countries of conflict minerals.
|
| |
(c)
Review each received CMRT based on our internal standard procedure to check the quality
such as the suppliers’ conflict minerals policies, suppliers’ data collection
from next tier suppliers, and SoRs identification and disclosure.
(d)
For our electronic manufacturing services, due to the complexity of the supply chain, we:
·
assess the value of the annual purchase volume of all conflict minerals.
• prioritize conflict mineral sources by dollar volume to leverage impact from available analytical
resources.
|
| B.
Assess risks of adverse impacts |
(a)
Assess data gathered on the CMRTs to identify potential inconsistencies or “red
flags.”
(b) Define annual supplier risk criteria.
(c)
Carry out on-site or document audit for suppliers determined as at-risk suppliers according to the risk criteria.
(d)
Follow up as appropriate to resolve items of concern.
|
| OECD
Step 3 |
Design
and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks |
| A.
Report finding to designated senior management |
Periodic
reviews are held and status are reported to our Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”),
and Chief Administrator Officer (“CAO”) who are also our Corporate Sustainability Committee members and senior management
in order for them to be aware of current conflict minerals compliance status. |
| B.
Devise and adopt a risk management plan |
Our
risk management plan includes tracking SoRs information to check if they may be from DRC,
the Covered Countries, or CAHRA, or not from scrap or recycled sources.
We compare supplier
smelter data to RMI RCOI data to identify actual smelter origins.
Additionally,
ASEH’s subsidiaries developed their own conflict minerals audit checklists to implement an on-site or document audit process.
ASEH’s subsidiaries are required to validate suppliers’ mechanisms related to important aspects of conflict minerals
management.
Finally, we continue
to work with non-compliant suppliers to obtain RMAP certification, or other independence third party audit program. Suppliers unwilling
or incapable of achieving such certification are considered to be replaced by compliant suppliers.
|
| C.
Implement the risk management plan, monitor and track performance of risk |
We
use CMRTs and the up-to-date RMAP compliant smelter lists to monitor and track our suppliers
and their SoRs information. For the compliance year 2023, our packaging and materials design
and production services received CMRTs from 100% of our conflict minerals suppliers surveyed
and electronic manufacturing services received CMRTs from 100% of our conflict minerals suppliers
surveyed.
|
| mitigation efforts and report back
to designated senior management |
We request our
suppliers to provide an updated response of their CMRTs if there is any change. We maintain a regular communication channel with
our senior management as abovementioned.
|
| D.
Undertake additional fact and risk assessments for risks requiring mitigation, or after a change of circumstances |
We
have begun supplier audits to assess the accuracy of data and statements made by larger suppliers.
This program will be broadened over time.
As a member of
the RBA and RMI, RCOI data is accessible to use and to manage our suppliers’ SoRs information.
|
| OECD
Step 4 |
Carry
out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at
identified points in the supply chain |
| |
For
the compliance year 2023, ASEH has undertaken an Independent Private Sector Audit (“IPSA”)
of our Conflict Minerals Report in compliance with the requirements set forth in the SEC
Conflict Minerals Final Rule and subsequent SEC Guidance.
As a member of
RMI, we leverage the due diligence conducted on smelters by the RMAP which uses independent third-party auditors to audit the source
of the conflict minerals used by smelters.
|
| OECD
Step 5 |
Report
on supply chain due diligence. |
| |
We
report annually on our supply chain due diligence activities including the conflict minerals program in our annual sustainability
report and we file a Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for the compliance year 2023 with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on or before the May 31, 2024 deadline in compliance with the SEC Conflict Minerals Final Rule and subsequent
guidance. This information is publicly available on our website at
https://www.aseglobal.com/csr/responsible-procurement/conflict-minerals-compliance |
Part II. Due Diligence
Determination and Product Declaration
Product
Declaration
Our
RCOI results did not provide us a sufficient level of confidence to enable us to report that all our products are conflict-free. Pursuant
to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we therefore conducted additional due diligence on the source and chain of custody
of the necessary conflict minerals in our products in order to obtain reasonable and reliable evidence that the gold,
tin, tungsten or tantalum used by us in 2023 either (i)
did not directly or indirectly benefit violent organizations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjacent regions or CAHRA
or (ii) came from recycled or scrap sources.
Based
on our RCOI analysis and due diligence measures described in this report, we made the following product determinations.
Packaging
and Materials Design and Production Services:
Based on the CMRTs
we received, all identified SoRs used in our packaging and materials design and production services products were certified by RMI or
were in the process of receiving RMI certificates in 2023. We
reasonably believe that such SoRs are DRC Conflict-Free.
Electronic
Manufacturing Services:
Given the large number of suppliers
for our electronic manufacturing services, we developed a sampling program to select material suppliers for the purpose of identifying
SoRs. We believe that our due diligence performed based on the sampling program is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable
basis for our determination. Based on the CMRTs we received, all identified SoRs used in our electronic manufacturing services products
were certified by RMI or were in the process of receiving RMI certificates in 2023. Therefore, we reasonably believe that such SoRs are
DRC Conflict-Free.
Glossary
A glossary of abbreviations
and terms is included in Annex C.
Facilities used to Process Conflict
Minerals
A list of smelters
and refiners that sourced conflict minerals utilized in our services is provided in Annex D.
Conflict Minerals Country of Origin
A list of countries
where conflict minerals were mined or extracted is listed in Annex E. These minerals may have been smelted or refined in the country
of extraction or in facilities around the world.
Part III – Continuous Improvements
| • | Be
aware of regulatory changes (e.g., RMI and OECD guidance), and adjust our policy in a timely
manner if necessary. |
| • | Improve
our conflict minerals validation process when accepting new suppliers. |
| • | Work
with our new and current suppliers to confirm that they understand and comply with ASEH’s
conflict minerals policy and requirements. |
| • | Establish
our conflict minerals data collection system with advanced management and analytical functionalities
in the near future. |
| • | Strengthen
education and trainings for our manufacturing facilities and relevant employees. |
| • | Work
with our suppliers to improve the suppliers’ data accuracy and completeness and ensure
that the smelters and refiners they source conflict minerals from in our supply chain are
actively participating or progressing toward RMAP listing or other independence third party
audit programs. |
| • | In
addition to gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten, we plan to gradually add cobalt, mica and more
minerals from CAHRAs to the scope of investigation to check if they comply with the RMI’s
standards. |
| • | Assess
suppliers’ due diligence processes through on-site audits so as to assist suppliers
to build up and improve their internal management systems. |
| • | Annually
hold supplier seminars to assist suppliers with their conflict minerals programs. |
| • | Actively
participate in the RMI and other key industry association and stakeholders’ responsible
sourcing initiatives. |
Part IV – Independent Private
Sector Audit
We obtained an independent
private sector audit by KPMG. The independent accountant’s report is set forth in Annex B.
Annex A –ASE Technology Holding
Co., Ltd. Corporate Policy for Sourcing Conflict Minerals
The mining and distribution of “conflict
minerals”1 originating from the Democratic Republic
of the Congo (the “DRC”) are sometimes controlled by violent organizations in order to fund conflict in that country and
adjacent regions. Our industry supply chains are inadvertently subject to metals derived from these conflict minerals which can be introduced
through the metals we use such as gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten. ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively,
“ASE Technology Holding “) is dedicated to the elimination of these conflict minerals in our supply chain and to using only
responsibly sourced “conflict-free minerals”2.
We expect our suppliers to source conflict-free minerals from smelters or refineries that have been certified by an independent third
party audit program to fulfill our objective. It is also our objective to support the continued use of conflict-free minerals from the
DRC and its adjacent regions such that responsible mining3
is not diminished. We exercise due diligence with our suppliers on the origin and supply chain of minerals in accordance with the “OECD
Due Diligence for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas” to establish conflict minerals
management mechanism.
To protect the human rights, health and
environment for workers in the material production areas, we commit to widening the scope of investigation and information disclosure;
in addition to gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten, more minerals (such as cobalt and mica) will be included gradually from conflict-affected
and high-risk areas (“CAHRAs”) in accordance with the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) standards. ASE
Technology Holding requires suppliers must support this policy by the following guidelines and widen their scope of investigations and
disclosures to continuously strengthen our responsible sourcing programs.
| (a) | Being
diligent in their assessment and validation of their supply chains to ensure ASE Technology
Holding’s objectives of a transparent supply chain and conflict-free purchases are
inputs to the services and products we produce. |
| (b) | Be
in compliance at all times with all regional and international regulations for conflict minerals. |
| (c) | Be
in compliance at all times with industry standards for the sourcing and reporting of conflict
minerals. |
| (d) | Being
diligent and accurate in their formal assurances of conflict-free minerals provided to us. |
1
“Conflict minerals” are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives as defined in the
Dodd-Frank Act section 1502 and SEC Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
2
“Conflict-free minerals” are conflict minerals that through their distribution directly or indirectly do not benefit violent
organizations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its adjacent regions.
3
“Responsible mining” is taking the social and environmental responsibility for the mining procedure.
Annex B –Independent Accountants’
