Introduction
Pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Rule"), Sierra Wireless, Inc. ("Sierra Wireless," the "Company," "we," "us" and "our") conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") on its supply chain and undertook due diligence measures to determine whether the "conflict minerals" contained in and necessary to the functionality or production of its products originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the "Covered Countries"). As used in this report, the term "conflict minerals" includes gold, cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite and their derivatives tin, tantalum and tungsten (along with gold, "3TG").
A copy of this Conflict Minerals Report is publicly available on our website at www.sierrawireless.com/company/corporate-social-responsibility/.

Supply Chain Overview and RCOI
While we perform certain supply chain related functions in-house, we outsource our manufacturing, including procurement of certain parts, kitting, logistics, assembly, testing and repair. We use several contract manufacturers and logistics partners to provide an end-to-end supply chain solution that covers procurement, manufacturing, repair and logistics services. We also use manufacturing partners to support regional manufacturing requirements and certain select products including more complex, lower volume devices. By using the fully integrated supply chain services provided by these manufacturing partners, we expect to optimize product costs, improve alignment with our international customer base and achieve increased operating efficiencies and scalability.
After conducting an internal assessment of our hardware products and the components within our products, we determined that the majority of our embedded wireless modules, intelligent gateways and modems contain 3TG. We therefore considered those products as part of our conflict minerals assessment. Although many of our hardware products contain 3TG, as a "downstream" company, we are many steps removed from the mining and processing of the 3TG in the supply chain. The materials used in our products come from a large network of suppliers and thus we rely on our suppliers to assist us with our RCOI and due diligence efforts. Our suppliers are
Page | 2 |
also downstream in the supply chain and may have challenges similar to those that we face in undertaking supply chain due diligence.
In 2017, we engaged Claigan Environmental Inc. ("Claigan"), to assist us with data collection and aggregation. Together we worked with our suppliers and other manufacturing partners to collect information about 3TG in our supply chain. Using the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI") Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), a globally recognized industry-wide 3TG reporting standard for purposes of complying with the Rule, we received responses from approximately 91% of our suppliers who were identified as being "in scope" for the purposes of our RCOI. Based on the results of our RCOI, we had reason to believe that certain of the 3TG contained in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources. We therefore exercised due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of those conflict minerals.
Statement of Purpose
Sierra Wireless has determined that we are subject to the Rule because certain products that we manufacture or contract to manufacture contain 3TG. As a result, we have adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy (available on our website at www.sierrawireless.com/company/corporate-social-responsibility/) and implemented a due diligence program to conform, in all material respects, with the internationally recognized Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “OECD Guidance”).
The OECD Guidance outlines a five-step due diligence framework:
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
Step 2: Identify and assess risk in the supply chain
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit due diligence practices in the supply chain
Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence
This report provides information on the due diligence measures undertaken for 2017 and has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.
Determination of Scope
Sierra Wireless does not own manufacturing facilities for its products and as a result, contracts external manufacturers to produce its products. To determine which products fall within scope for our RCOI and due diligence, the Company conducted a review of its products manufactured during 2017.
Page | 3 |
Our contract manufacturers were asked to provide an updated list of the suppliers of components used in our products which contain 3TG. Upon receipt of this list, our Conflict Minerals Working Group (the "Working Group") engaged in the following activities to determine the appropriate scope of suppliers subject to our due diligence efforts:
1. | Exclude products from recently-acquired companies not yet covered by the Rule. |
2. | Analyzed our Bill of Materials ("BOM") data to extract the list of known suppliers that are engaged in the manufacturing of products containing 3TG. |
3. | Where contract manufacturers were requested to provide a list of suppliers, we compared the list of suppliers submitted by our contract manufacturers against our BOM data to ensure consistent and comprehensive information. |
4. | Reviewed the remaining list of suppliers to eliminate products not covered by the Rule (e.g., no 3TG contained in product) and provided the resulting list of suppliers to Claigan for data collection purposes. |
OECD Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems
Sierra Wireless has adopted and clearly communicated a company policy for the conflict minerals compliance program, which notes that it uses the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas as its foundation. A public copy is available on our website at www.sierrawireless.com/company/corporate-social-responsibility/. This policy is communicated to suppliers when annual conflict minerals data is requested from them. It is also provided to customers whenever Sierra Wireless smelter data is communicated to customers.
Sierra Wireless has structured internal management systems to support supply chain due diligence. The Sierra Wireless conflict minerals compliance program is managed by the Working Group, a cross-functional team whose members represent the Company's Operations, Purchasing, Quality Management and Finance functions. The Working Group is assisted in its efforts by third party consultants. The working group is led by a Project Manager, a member of senior staff with the necessary competence, knowledge, and experience to oversee supply chain due diligence, who coordinates conflict minerals program activities and reports to senior management and the program’s Steering Committee. All of these resources ensure the successful operation and monitoring of the processes that comprise the Sierra Wireless conflict minerals compliance program.

Our conflict minerals compliance program is integrated into the Company’s existing policy framework and operational processes and procedures to ensure effective management, oversight and implementation. Relevant aspects of conflict minerals compliance are also documented in the following:
•Sierra Wireless Conflict Minerals Policy
•Master Quality Agreement
The Master Quality Agreement stipulates the quality standards we expect of our suppliers in the provision of goods to be incorporated into Company products.
•Global Supply Agreement
The Global Supply Agreement is a standard form contract that governs the relationship between the Company and its suppliers.
•Sierra Wireless Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Implementation Handbook
•Sierra Wireless Corporate Website, www.sierrawireless.com
•Grievance Mechanism
We have a dedicated electronic mailbox used for communications regarding our Conflict Minerals program and a business conduct hotline that provides a mechanism for anyone who has concerns related to business conduct, including concerns related to conflict minerals, to report those concerns in a confidential and, if desired, anonymous manner.
Sierra Wireless has established a system of control and transparency over the mineral supply chain. This system was designed to identify the smelters and refiners in our minerals supply chain. The specific details are found in OECD Step 2 below. The system was also designed to strengthen company engagement with suppliers. Sierra Wireless has implemented an RCOI process to collect conflict minerals data on an annual basis. Additionally, provisions related to conflict minerals sourcing are included in our supplier agreements as well as our quality management framework. There is also a program in place to improve the number and quality of supplier responses year over year.
As recommended in the OECD Guidance, Sierra Wireless supports the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI"), an industry initiative that audits due diligence activities of smelters and refiners. The RMI is a joint initiative of the Responsible Business Alliance ("RBA") and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative ("GeSI") and has become one of the most utilized and respected resources for companies from a range of industries addressing conflict minerals issues in their supply chains. Therefore, as part of our due diligence, we rely on data obtained through our membership in the RMI.

OECD Step 2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
We designed our RCOI process in accordance with the OECD Guidance. Our RCOI process involved two stages:
• | Stage 1 - Supplier RCOI (responds to Step 2A of the OECD Guidance) |
• | Stage 2 - Smelter RCOI (responds to Steps 2B, C, and D of the OECD Guidance) |
For the 2017 reporting period, our RCOI process was executed by Claigan with assistance from the Company’s Working Group.
We have designed our Supplier RCOI around collecting the data provided in the CMRT in order to identify, to the best of our efforts, all of the smelters and refiners in the supply chain. All suppliers subject to our due diligence efforts are requested to submit the most recently available version of the CMRT. Given our downstream position in the 3TG supply chain, we rely on our suppliers to identify smelters and refineries through the CMRT. To gather the smelter and refiner information, we engage suppliers either directly or indirectly through our contract manufacturers. For 2017 we surveyed 370 of our suppliers and received 335 responses.
We review supplier responses for accuracy and completeness. The supplier provided smelter data is then aggregated into a single, unique list of smelters meeting the definition under one of three industry-recognized audit protocols. Finally, we review the final smelter list and compare it against industry peers to determine if we have reasonably identified all of the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. Through this process we determined that our suppliers identified 317 3TG smelters and refiners in their supply chains.
The Smelter RCOI was designed to identify the scope of the risk assessment of the 3TG supply chain. We engaged with each smelter identified in our supply chain by attempting to contact each smelter to determine whether or not they sourced from the Covered Countries. For smelters that confirmed or responded, either directly or through industry associations, that they did not source from the Covered Countries but that were not recognized as conformant to the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process ("RMAP") assurance protocols, we reviewed publicly available information to determine whether there was any contrary evidence that contradicted the smelter’s declaration. In doing so we reviewed sources such as non-governmental organization ("NGO") publications, including the Enough Project, Global Witness, Southern Africa Resource Watch and Radio Okapi. We also consulted the most recent United Nations Group of Experts reports on the DRC and performed public internet searches.
If smelters did not respond to our inquiry, we reviewed the same publicly available sources to determine whether there was reason to believe the smelter may have sourced from the Covered Countries during the reporting period.
The smelter RCOI process determined that 42 of the 317 smelters and refiners sourced or may have sourced from the Covered Countries in 2017. Of these 42 smelters and refiners, 37 have been audited and recognized as conformant to the RMAP assurance protocols. The remaining five smelters are considered high-risk. All five of the high-risk smelters processed gold, which means that we did not identify any high-risk smelters that process tin,
Page | 6 |
tantalum, or tungsten. We conducted risk mitigation on the remaining five smelters (see OECD Step 3 below) as part of our increased due diligence.
OECD Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
The findings of our RCOI process were reported to our Vice President, Manufacturing Engineering and Quality, the designated member of senior management, to outline the potential risks identified in the supply chain.
We then devised and adopted a risk management plan. Since the majority of our suppliers reported their smelter data at the company level, we first determined if gold was in the products we buy from the suppliers that provided us with high risk smelters. If gold is contained in the products we buy from those suppliers, we then leveraged our position in the supply chain to encourage these suppliers to provide smelter data more specific to the products we buy from them.
There were 20 suppliers that listed a total of 5 high-risk gold smelters in their supply chain, as noted above in OECD Step 2. We were able to determine conclusively that 19 of these 20 suppliers do not supply us with gold from any of the high-risk smelters. This process also determined conclusively that 3 of the 5 potentially high risk smelters do not process gold contained in the products that Sierra Wireless manufactures or contracts to manufacture. Our final smelter list for 2017 therefore comprises 314 smelters as detailed in Annex 1. These additional findings are continually monitored to track the performance of risk mitigation.
OECD Step 4: Carry out Independent Third-Party Audit of Due Diligence Practices in the Supply Chain
The OECD Guidance recommends an independent third party audit of smelters and refiners in 3TG supply chains; and we support a recognized and industry-wide program of third-party audits through our RMAP membership. Other industry-wide efforts include those of the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) and the Responsible Jewelry Council (“RJC”).

OECD Step 5: Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
Results of Due Diligence
Based on the Working Group’s analysis of the information provided by our suppliers, we identified 314 smelters that may have been used to process the 3TG in our products. Those smelters are listed in Annex 1 hereto. We conducted due diligence and risk mitigation activities as outlined above in OECD Steps 2 and 3 with the result that there were 2 potentially high-risk smelters remaining in our smelter list. As noted below, we will continue to engage with our suppliers regarding any high-risk smelters identified during our risk analysis process.
A publicly available version of our 2017 and prior year reports can be found on our website at www.sierrawireless.com/company/corporate-social-responsibility/.
Improvement Measures
For reporting year 2018, we intend to continue improving our due diligence program and risk mitigation efforts through the following:
• | Continued support of the RMAP third party supplier audit process and, as necessary, mandated supplier audits to validate CMRT data and supplier conflict minerals processes; |
• | Informing the RMAP of high risk smelters identified as a result of our due diligence activities; |
• | Continued engagement with the Company’s strategic suppliers including informing suppliers of high risk smelters identified during our 2017 risk analysis; |
• | Improved data collection and due diligence processes through the continued use of a third-party service provider, improved accuracy of our material and supplier lists and incorporation of lessons learned from the 2017 RCOI process; and |
• | Continued improvement of our communication and understanding of conflict free sourcing criteria. |
