EXHIBIT 1.01 – CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
China Mobile Limited
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2018
This Conflict Minerals Report for China Mobile Limited (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “China Mobile,” “we,” or “our”) is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”), for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
I. | Background |
| A. | Identification of Products Containing Conflict Minerals |
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) thereunder (collectively, the “Conflict Minerals Rule”) impose disclosure and due diligence requirements on SEC-reporting issuers that manufacture or contract to manufacture products that contain “conflict minerals” that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Conflict minerals are defined under the Conflict Minerals Rule to include tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.
China Mobile is a telecommunications services provider, operating mainly in the People’s Republic of China. In its ordinary course of business, China Mobile and its subsidiaries engage in the sale of certain telecommunications equipment and terminals (“Products”). No Products are manufactured by China Mobile, but some Products are contracted by China Mobile Group Device Company Limited (“China Mobile Device”), MIGU Co., Ltd. (“MIGU”), China Mobile IoT Company Limited (“China Mobile IoT”), Government and Enterprise Service Company (“G&E”), China Mobile (Hangzhou) Information Technology Company Limited (“Hangzhou R&D”) and China Mobile (Suzhou) Software Technology Co., Ltd. (“Suzhou R&D”), all of which are our wholly-owned subsidiaries, together, “Device Subsidiaries,” to be manufactured by third parties. See “Product Description.” China Mobile has determined that “conflict minerals” (also referred to herein as “3TG”) are necessary to the functionality or production of certain Products contracted by China Mobile to be manufactured by third parties on or after January 1, 2018.
| B. | Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry |
China Mobile has conducted an inquiry that was designed to determine whether any of the 3TG in Products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or an adjoining country as defined in the instructions to Form SD (collectively together with the DRC, the “Covered Countries”) or is from recycled or scrap sources. If, based on such inquiry, China Mobile knows or has reason to believe that any of the necessary conflict minerals contained in Products originated or may have originated in a Covered Country, and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources, China Mobile will conduct due diligence to determine if the necessary conflict minerals contained in those Products did or did not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. Products which do not contain necessary conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries are considered “DRC conflict free” by China Mobile after conducting its due diligence inquiry. As China Mobile is a downstream supplier of finished products and does not purchase from, and has no established commercial relationships with, smelters or refiners of conflict minerals, China Mobile’s reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) focused on its direct suppliers. China Mobile was able to identify all of its direct suppliers of Products containing 3TG that have been contracted out by China Mobile to third party manufacturers. There were 132 direct suppliers identified in such inquiry during the Reporting Period.
-1-
For the RCOI survey, China Mobile adopted the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “Conflict Minerals Reporting Template”) published by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). China Mobile sent the template to the 132 identified direct suppliers and received responses from 123 of them. China Mobile further checked the names of the smelters and refiners identified in such responses against the CFSI Smelter Reference List and the list of smelters that have received a “conflict free” designation from the Conflict Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) of CFSI (“CFSP-compliant Smelter List”) to determine whether any of the conflict minerals might originate in a Covered Country. The result of the RCOI survey did not reveal any conflict minerals that are used in Products and originated in a Covered Country and that are not from recycled or scrap sources. However, there was a risk that conflict minerals used in Products may have originated in a Covered Country and may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, as required by Item 1.01(c) of Form SD, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals contained in Products supplied to us by our direct suppliers for the Reporting Period.
II. | Due Diligence |
| A. | Design of Due Diligence |
China Mobile has undertaken due diligence measures to investigate the source and chain of custody of the 3TG in Products. China Mobile’s conflict minerals due diligence measures are being designed in conformance with 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 (2016) (the “OECD Guidance”), an internationally recognized due diligence framework, as applicable for tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold and “downstream companies,” as such term is defined in the OECD Guidance.
The OECD Guidance sets forth the following five steps for establishing a responsible supply chain: (i) establishing strong company management systems, (ii) identifying and assessing risks in the supply chain, (iii) designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks, (iv) carrying out independent third party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain, and (v) reporting annually on supply chain due diligence.
| B. | Due Diligence Measures |
| (i) | Establish strong company management systems: |
| a. | China Mobile published the Policy for a Responsible Supply Chain of Conflict Minerals and Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas in 2016, aiming at responsible procurement. The policy sets forth China Mobile’s goal to procure and use materials free from conflict minerals originated from Covered Countries and to achieve such goal by conducting source-tracing supply chain inquiries and strengthening cooperation with suppliers. The guidelines lay out certain detailed steps and specific measures China Mobile is required to undertake to carry out conflict minerals due diligence. |
| b. | Since February 2016, the discipline, inspection and audit department of China Mobile Device has become a member of the conflict minerals working group and led the relevant due diligence work in order to streamline the conflict minerals due diligence procedures. In addition, since February 2016, conflict minerals research briefings have become part of the regular agenda at the general managers’ meeting and the reports of briefings are submitted regularly for the review and approval by the management of China Mobile Device. Since March 2017 China Mobile also established a dedicated team of personnel for handling this conflict minerals matter. This team comprises of personnel from China Mobile’s Legal and Regulatory Department, procurement division and the Device Subsidiaries. As the lead department in charge of compliance management, the Legal and Regulatory Department formulated a five-year compliance program in 2016 and required the relevant subsidiaries to initiate the process of establishing its conflict minerals compliance mechanism in accordance with the Conflict Minerals Rule as soon as practicable. |
-2-
| c. | China Mobile gathers information using the CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template sent to its direct suppliers to determine the chain of custody of 3TG contained in Products. |
| d. | The Device Subsidiaries communicated and will continue to communicate to their suppliers that China Mobile based on its policy does not purchase nor support use of conflict minerals originated in Covered Countries, and required its suppliers not to purchase conflict minerals originated in Covered Countries and to commit to extending such requirements to their suppliers. Moreover, China Mobile Device and Hangzhou R&D have incorporated a term on conflict minerals into their supplier contracts whereby the suppliers represent to China Mobile that their products and packaging do not contain any conflict minerals originated in any Covered Country. In November 2018, G&E issued its standard supplier contract with such terms expressly incorporated. China Mobile IoT intends to incorporate such term to their supplier contracts in a step-by-step manner. MIGU has added such term in the technical specifications in the annex of some of their supplier contracts. Suzhou R&D communicates with its suppliers about our ROCI and requires them to incorporate a term into their contracts or sign a commitment not to purchase conflict minerals originated in Covered Countries. |
| e. | China Mobile communicated with and educated relevant personnel from China Mobile group companies and suppliers regarding the SEC conflict minerals disclosure requirements and China Mobile’s conflict minerals policy. China Mobile also communicated its guidelines for conflict minerals due diligence procedures to China Mobile group companies. |
| (ii) | Identify and assess risks in the supply chain: |
| a. | China Mobile Device is an entity engaging in the procurement and distribution of mobile telephones, tablets and other devices. China Mobile IoT is an entity that operates IoT network and OneNET, an IoT open platform, designs and develops IoT modules and chips, develops IoT solutions and featured IoT products such as Internet of vehicle, smart home devices and smart wearables. Hangzhou R&D is an entity that engages in developing network equipment as well as providing information technology support for mobile terminals, software and related services. Suzhou R&D is an entity engaging in business development, software sales, system integration and others in the fields of cloud computing, big data and IT support. G&E mainly engages in the sales of information technology products to, and providing end-to-end services for, corporate customers such as governmental agencies and large enterprises, and nationwide corporate product integration and promotion. MIGU is established for the provision, operation and service integration of digital content products, which includes music, video, reading, games and animation businesses. China Mobile has requested the direct suppliers from which the Device Subsidiaries procured any Product containing 3TG that have been contracted by China Mobile to be manufactured by third parties to respond to the supply chain survey. |
| b. | China Mobile adopted the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template published by CFSI for purposes of the supply chain survey. China Mobile followed up with direct suppliers to obtain complete responses to the supply chain survey, verified the collected responses, and inquired about any discrepancies in the response provided. The status of the supply chain survey and due diligence has been reported to China Mobile’s Legal and Regulatory Department, which is considering actions to mitigate the supply chain risks identified, such as those described in “– Risk Mitigation Steps China Mobile Takes”. In assessing the risk in its supply chain, China Mobile concluded that because suppliers of certain Products containing 3TG may have provided incomplete information regarding metal origins and conflict-free sourcing to China Mobile and the reliability of the information provided has yet to be verified, there could be risks that certain 3TG used in the manufacturing might have originated in the Covered Countries and may not have originated from recycled or scrap sources. |
-3-
| (iii) | Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks: |
| a. | In accordance with China Mobile’s guidelines for conflict minerals due diligence procedures, findings of the supply chain risk assessment are reported annually to the designated senior management and the Audit Committee of China Mobile. |
| b. | To evaluate and respond to identified risks, China Mobile relies on the suppliers’ responses to the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, CFSI Smelter Reference List and the CFSP-compliant Smelter List. Since 2015, China Mobile has compared the names of the smelters and refiners identified in such responses against the CFSI Smelter Reference List and the CFSP-compliant Smelter List to identify the smelters and refiners that had not received a “conflict free” designation from CFSP and followed up with the suppliers to obtain further information on the identified smelters and refiners. |
| c. | Pursuant to its Policy for a Responsible Supply chain of Conflict Minerals and its guidelines for conflict minerals due diligence procedures, China Mobile shall temporarily suspend trade in order to achieve measurable risk mitigation, or terminate its relationship with a supplier after risk mitigation attempts fail or where risk mitigation is not feasible, and terminate as soon as commercially practicable a procurement plan if China Mobile becomes aware of any procured material containing conflict minerals originated from Covered Countries. As of the filing date of this report, we have not identified any such suppliers. |
| (iv) | Carry out independent third party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain: |
| a. | As a downstream supplier of finished products, China Mobile has no direct commercial relationships with smelters. In addition, for production completed during the Reporting Period, China Mobile did not receive sufficient information from its direct suppliers regarding the identity of smelters from which the minerals were derived. |
| b. | China Mobile’s due diligence efforts rely on cross-industry initiatives, such as the CFSI, to conduct audits of the due diligence practices of the smelters and refiners. |
| (v) | Report annually on supply chain due diligence: |
| a. | China Mobile is reporting annually on its supply chain due diligence by preparing this Conflict Minerals Report to disclose the description of the measures taken to determine the source and chain of custody of any of the necessary conflict minerals contained in China Mobile’s products, as well as the results of China Mobile’s due diligence. This Conflict Minerals Report is available on China Mobile’s corporate website (http://www.chinamobileltd.com/en/ir/sec.php). The information contained in such website is not a part of this Form SD. |
| C. | Risk Mitigation Steps China Mobile Takes |
The due diligence process discussed above is an ongoing process. At this time, China Mobile takes the following actions to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that conflict minerals in Products necessary to the functionality or production of Products could benefit or finance armed groups in the Covered Countries.
| (i) | China Mobile supports cross-industry initiatives to define and improve industry best practices and improve China Mobile’s influence and leverage over the supply chain in accordance with the OECD Guidance. |
-4-
| (ii) | China Mobile works with its direct suppliers and direct them to obtain responses from all lower tier suppliers subject to the RCOI survey, and to improve the content of the RCOI survey responses. |
| (iii) | China Mobile communicates its policy regarding conflict minerals to its suppliers and strives to incorporate such policy into future contract terms and specifications with its suppliers. China Mobile also explains the procedures of its RCOI survey in the supplier meetings and requests suppliers to cooperate with its effort to identify the source of the necessary conflict minerals. |
