Conflict Minerals Report

For The Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2015

This Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) of Broadcom Limited for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”) is filed in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”) and pursuant to the Company’s Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (“Form SD”) for the Reporting Period filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Rule imposes certain reporting and disclosure obligations on SEC registrants for which cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (“conflict minerals”) are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the registrant. References in this Report to “Broadcom,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Broadcom Limited and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

Recent Developments


Broadcom Limited is the successor to Avago Technologies Limited (“Avago”). This Report for the Reporting Period relates solely to our predecessor, Avago. Broadcom Limited acquired Broadcom Corporation on February 1, 2016.

Company and Product Overview

Broadcom is a leading designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of analog and digital semiconductor connectivity solutions with a focus on analog III-V based products and complex digital and mixed signal complementary metal oxide semiconductor based devices. Broadcom’s extensive product portfolio serves four primary end markets: wired infrastructure, wireless communications, enterprise storage and industrial & other. Applications for our products in these end markets include: data center networking, home connectivity, broadband access, telecommunications equipment, smartphones and base stations, data center servers and storage, factory automation, power generation and alternative energy systems, and displays.

Overview of Conflict Mineral Program

Broadcom’s due diligence framework with regards to conflict minerals, which is summarized below, is designed to conform in all material respects with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains for Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas, and the Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold.

Step 1- Establish strong company management systems:

 Adopt a Conflict Mineral Policy and make it publicly available on our website (http://www.broadcom.com/corporate_responsibility/environment.php).
 Establish an internal conflict minerals team led by our Global Quality organization to implement our conflict minerals policy, which reports program activities to executive management on a regular basis.
 Establish a public email address (avago.conflict-minerals@broadcom.com) for general inquiries.
 Establish a grievance mechanism to enable employees, suppliers and stakeholders to report any concerns and violations.
 Maintain records relating to our conflict minerals program.
 Utilize the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), a standardized reporting template developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) to identify smelters and refiners that process the necessary conflict minerals contained in our products.

Step 2- Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

 Survey our supply chain using the CMRT, requesting identified direct suppliers to identify smelters and refiners and country of origin of the conflict minerals.
 Contact suppliers who returned CMRT with trigger items to follow up based on internally defined criteria.
 Compare our final smelters and refiners list against the list of facilities maintained by the Conflict-Free Smelters Program (“CFSP”) to identify which smelters and refiners are certified “conflict-free” (“CFSP-compliant”) or active.

Step 3- Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

 Devise a risk management plan to respond to identified risk in the event that Broadcom’s due diligence process identifies smelters in the supply chain to be sourcing or processing conflict minerals from DRC or adjoining countries (together, the “DRC”), and are not CFSP-compliant.
 Perform risk mitigation efforts by contacting suppliers to encourage them to purchase materials from smelters or refiners validated as “conflict-free” by an independent auditor to demonstrate compliant with the CFSP assessment protocols and implement due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing.
 Contact smelters and refiners who are not CFSP-compliant or active, whose email contact information is available from CFSI, to encourage them to participate in an independent third party audit program to demonstrate compliant with the CFSP assessment protocols.
 Provide status reports including information on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain to our senior management regularly.

Step 4- Independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices

 Broadcom supports the development of a range of tools and resources including the CFSP, the CMRT, Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry data and a range of guidance documents on conflict minerals sourcing through our membership with CFSI.
 As Broadcom does not source directly from conflict minerals processing facilities, we rely on CFSP to coordinate independent third-party audits on smelters and refiners.

Step 5- Report annually on supply chain due diligence

 In accordance with the Rule, Broadcom will file a Form SD and a conflict minerals report with SEC on an annual basis. This Report is also available on our website and we will make available future conflict minerals report on our website (http://www.broadcom.com/corporate_responsibility/environment.php).

Description of Due Diligence Measures Performed

 Sent our policy to suppliers to communicate Broadcom’s goal, expectations to co-operate in providing due diligence information, encourage suppliers to purchase materials from smelters or refiners validated as “conflict-free” by an independent auditor demonstrated compliant to CFSP assessment protocols and request that suppliers return a completed CMRT.
 Contacted suppliers who returned the CMRT with trigger items to follow up based on internally defined criteria.
 Compared our final smelters and refiners list (compiled based on information received from suppliers) against the list of facilities maintained by CFSP to identify which smelters and refiners are CFSP-compliant or active.
 Performed outreach to our suppliers who identified smelters and refiners who are not CFSP-compliant or active, to encourage them to purchase materials from CFSP-compliant or active smelters or refiners.
 Performed outreach via email to smelters and refiners who are not CFSP-compliant or active, whose email contact information is available from CFSI, by sending CFSI’s standard smelter engagement letter inviting them to commence their participation in an independent third party audit program to demonstrate their compliance with the CFSP assessment protocols.
 Provided status reports including information on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain to our senior management regularly, at least once a quarter.

Results of Our Due Diligence Measures

Broadcom uses tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“3TG”) in the design and manufacture of many of its products and is therefore a “downstream” company in the conflict mineral supply chain. Due to the nature of our supply chain, we do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners. Our manufacturing operations employ a wide variety of semiconductors, electromechanical components and raw materials that are also supplied by other downstream companies in the supply chain. Our due diligence process involves seeking data from our relevant suppliers, and these suppliers seeking similar information from their supply chain in order to identify the sources for the necessary conflict minerals. While we review the CMRTs provided by our suppliers for completeness and contact suppliers as required based our internally defined criteria, we rely on the good faith efforts of our supply chain to provide us with reasonable data. We also depend largely on information collected and provided by CFSI obtained through their independent third party audit programs. We achieved a response rate of 98% for our supply chain survey. Despite our outreach efforts, we were unable to obtain the remaining 2%. We have included a list of smelters and refiners as reported to us by our relevant suppliers that may form part of our supply chain, and which have been determined to be legitimate processing facilities by the CFSI, as well as the locations of these facilities, at the end of this CMR. Other processing facilities were reported in our supply chain, however these processing facilities are not listed in the tables at the end of this CMR as they have not yet been determined as legitimate by the CFSI.

Many of our suppliers sourced 3TG from a variety of upstream sources and provided information to us on an aggregated, supplier-wide level. Due to the fungible nature of these materials, we understand that these suppliers were unable to trace the 3TG that they source into the products provided to any particular customers (including Broadcom). As a result, our list of 3TG processing facilities potentially contains more facilities than are actually used in our supply chain. In addition, our list of facilities may not include all the smelters and refiners in our supply chain as some of our suppliers were unable to identify the smelters and refiners of some of the conflict minerals and not all of our suppliers responded to our survey.

We compared smelters and refiners declared by our suppliers against the list of facilities that are certified “conflict free” by the CFSP and obtained countries of origin information (when available) from CFSI. We have identified 299 smelters and refiners determined to be legitimate processing facilities by the CFSI, of which 214 have been validated as CFSP-compliant, 33 are listed as “Active” as they are at various stage of the audit cycle in the CFSP, and the remaining 52 have no known participation in the CFSP. However, we were unable to ascertain the country of origin and/or chain of custody of all necessary conflict minerals because, for this reporting period, many smelter and refiner facilities had not yet received a “conflict free” designation.

Ongoing Improvement Efforts

For the next reporting period, we intend to implement steps to further mitigate the risk that conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of our products finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC.

These steps include:

a. working with relevant suppliers to update their conflict minerals reporting template using the latest CMRT, and verify the identified smelters with the latest CFSI’s updated CFSI list;
b. continuing to refine our conflict minerals program to improve our reasonable due diligence measures in our effort to determine the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals;
c. continuing to work with suppliers and others on industry-wide solutions to enable products that are DRC conflict free;
d. when required by the Rule, obtaining an independent private sector audit for the Report; and
e. extending the reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence measures on our recently acquired entity, Broadcom Corporation. Prior to its acquisition, Broadcom Corporation was publicly listed and compliant with the Rule.

3 The CFSI generally does not specify individual countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by compliant smelters and refiners and thus we were not able to determine with certainty the specific countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by the listed compliant smelters and refiners. In addition, for some of the listed compliant smelters and refiners, origin information is not disclosed. The list is based on the country of origin data provided to the CFSI for compliant smelters only.
