Conflict Minerals Report
For the Year Ended December 31, 2016

Company Overview

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (the “Company”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) and Form SD promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. Unless the context indicates otherwise, “West,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. is a manufacturer of packaging components and delivery systems for injectable drugs and healthcare products. Our products include vial containment solutions, prefillable systems, self-injection platforms, cartridge systems and components, reconstitution and transfer systems, intradermal delivery solutions, specialty components, and contract manufacturing and analytical services.
Supply Chain

In 2016, we determined that, as in previous years, the only product for which West sourced columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite or their derivatives (tantalum, tin and tungsten) (“3TGs”) that are necessary to the functionality or production of its products (“Covered Products”) was our SmartDose® technology platform, which is designed for controlled, subcutaneous delivery of high volume and high viscosity drugs. Our SmartDose technology platform contains electronic circuitry in the form of a printed circuit board assembly (“PCBA”) and a motor. West uses a contract manufacturer to produce the PCBA and an outside supplier for the motor.
As a downstream company, West purchases the materials and components for our SmartDose technology platform from third parties. We do not have direct relationships with smelters or refiners that produce the 3TGs within our supply chain and do not control any mineral reserves. Thus, any 3TGs that are potentially present in any of our products would have originated solely from our purchases from third parties.
Conflict Minerals Program

West is committed to working within our global supply chain to help ensure compliance with the Rule. In 2016, we continued to develop our conflict minerals compliance program and follow the framework established by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) as tailored for downstream companies.
Our compliance program endeavors to identify whether the 3TGs in our Covered Products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia or Angola) (“Covered Countries”), or whether any of the 3TGs in our Covered Products were from recycled or scrap sources.
In 2016, our Conflict Minerals Steering Committee, consisting of Procurement, Legal, Regulatory and Compliance, oversaw enhancements to our due diligence on the origination of the 3TGs in our SmartDose technology platform. We increased our efforts to educate our suppliers on our expectations related to conflict minerals through an enhanced distribution of our Business Partner Code of Conduct, which includes West’s position statement related to Conflict Minerals, and included language related to conflict minerals in new supply agreements and questionnaires. West’s Business Partner Code of Conduct is a public document available at http://www.westpharma.com/about-west/corporate-responsibility. Information on our website does not constitute part of this document. We will continue to work with suppliers at all levels of the supply chain to increase the quality of the data provided to us. Our conflict minerals compliance program is implemented by our procurement and regulatory groups, and senior management is informed periodically of the progress.

Description of West’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

Once we determined that the only product for which West sourced 3TGs that are necessary to functionality or production was our SmartDose technology platform, we conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) reasonably designed to determine in good faith whether any of the 3TGs in our SmartDose technology platform originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.





In conducting our RCOI on our SmartDose technology platform, we first performed a supply chain survey of the direct suppliers of our SmartDose technology platform components to obtain information on the origin of 3TGs contained in the materials supplied to us. Depending on the sufficiency of the responses received from our suppliers, where possible, we also surveyed some of our suppliers’ suppliers. Lastly, we evaluated the adequacy of the responses and continued to investigate to determine whether any of the 3TGs in our SmartDose technology platform originated in the Covered Countries.
The supply chain survey was implemented and administered by our procurement group. The survey employed the template developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition ® and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) Reporting Template (the “Survey”). The Survey requested general disclosures, the identification of any 3TGs contained in the supplier’s products and the origin of those minerals. We have received information from 95% of the suppliers we surveyed, although not all of the information requested was provided.
Due Diligence Process
Following our RCOI, we conducted a due diligence review of the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs contained in our Covered Products and the facility's Smelters or Refiners (“SORs”) in which they were processed. Our due diligence measures were designed to conform in all material respects with the framework in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Guidance”) and the related supplements for 3TGs.
As part of this due diligence, we implemented management systems to identify and reduce risk in our supply chain regarding conflict minerals. Our management systems include enhanced communication with our suppliers, improved tracking mechanisms and increased employee education. These systems are designed to ensure the supply chain survey reached all relevant suppliers and adequate responses were received. We evaluated the responses against criteria designed to identify those suppliers that warranted further investigation, including for example, untimely, inconsistent or incomplete responses, requests for confidentiality, missing or erroneous data, whether the supplier was a U.S. publicly-held company, the size of the supplier’s business and the material supplied to us. As appropriate, we followed up directly with suppliers, and in some cases, the suppliers of our suppliers, to obtain additional information and updated responses.
As a downstream purchaser of 3TGs, or components containing 3TGs, our diligence procedures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of such materials. Our diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our direct suppliers and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of 3TGs. We also rely, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by third parties. Such sources of information may yield inaccurate or incomplete information and may be subject to fraud.

Conclusion

Our Covered Products are subject to the reporting obligations of the Rule. After having conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence, we have concluded that our Covered Products, that is our SmartDose technology platform, contain 3TGs that are necessary to their functionality or production, and based on the information provided to us by the majority of our suppliers, either (a) the sources of the 3TGs contained in our SmartDose technology platform are certified compliant by CFSI through its Conflict Free Sourcing Program (“CSFP”), are actively seeking certification by CFSP or are members of the International Tin Supply Chain Initiative (“iTSCi”), described below, or (b) the 3TGs contained in our SmartDose technology platform are not sourced from the Covered Countries. The iTSCi Program aims to manage conflict concerns in the upstream supply chain from mine to smelter and has successfully attracted membership from every step in this chain. Despite our efforts, we did not receive adequate responses from a small percentage of our suppliers to determine the country of origin (or recycled or scrap status) of all of the 3TGs in our supply chain. Accordingly, we are unable to determine the country of origin and the specific SORs with respect to all of the 3TGs in our Covered Products.
West surveyed 40 direct and indirect suppliers of the components of our SmartDose technology platform, of which we received 38 responses. The responses included identification of the smelters from which any 3TGs were sourced. Our suppliers identified 287 smelters as possible sources for the 3TGs contained in our Covered Products. West conducted due diligence on these smelters to determine whether they are certified under the CFSP assessment protocols (“CFSP compliant”) or actively seeking certification. Smelters are considered actively seeking certification if they have committed to undergo the CFSP audit. West identified 213 of the 287 as CFSP compliant, an additional 7 that are actively seeking certification and one that is a member of iTSCi. 
West conducted additional due diligence on the remaining 66 smelters and determined that, although they are not certified by a third party, 24 have programs or policies and procedures on their websites and another 22 have email addresses. As an additional due diligence step, West sent requests to these email addresses for information related to each of these smelter’s





conflict minerals programs. We received at least one response that demonstrated that smelter was CFSP compliant. The remaining 20 of the 66 have no information available.
Table 1 below presents, by mineral, the total number of SORs identified and the percentage that are CFSP compliant, actively seeking CFSP certification or a member of iTSCi. See Appendix 1 for a list of these SORs by name. We note that the number of SORs certified as compliant, are actively seeking certification or are members of iTSCi increased significantly since our previous report.

Total

Risk Mitigation

We have taken the following steps to further mitigate the risk that the 3TGs in our Covered Products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
Enhanced our direct materials supplier screening program to require new suppliers and suppliers of new products or components to provide information regarding 3TGs. The Company also intends to provide additional background and educational information to suppliers where necessary to enhance their responses. Finally, the Company will augment disclosure clauses regarding 3TGs in new supply contracts and supplier contract renewals.

Continued the activities of our Conflict Minerals Steering Committee to: (i) ensure the management systems are adequate; (ii) review the RCOI and due diligence process; (iii) discuss what actions West should take to help mitigate risk; and (iv) report the status of West’s Conflict Minerals program to senior management periodically.

Increased engagement with our direct suppliers to further enhance this process. This included educating suppliers on the importance of the RCOI process and our Company’s expectations and further improving our direct supplier surveys and due diligence process. We enhanced communication with our suppliers, improved tracking mechanisms and increased employee education. These efforts were designed to help ensure the supply chain survey reached all relevant suppliers and adequate responses were received. We evaluated the responses against criteria designed to identify those suppliers that warranted further investigation, including for example, untimely, inconsistent or incomplete responses, requests for confidentiality, missing or erroneous data, whether the supplier was a U.S. publicly-held company, the size of the supplier’s business and the material supplied to us. As appropriate, we followed up directly with suppliers, and in some cases, the suppliers of our suppliers, to obtain additional information and updated responses.
