to tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) and those that solely provide services. As a result of continued and proactive efforts
encouraging suppliers to complete the survey, 96.1% of the Templates were collected in 2015.
Results of RCOI
Kyocera identified suppliers found to be using minerals from DRC Countries as a result of the RCOI, as “critical suppliers” andconducted due diligence. Details are included in Exhibit 1.01 “Conflict Minerals Report of Kyocera Corporation for 2015.”* Except AVX Corporation and its subsidiaries (AVX).

Part 2: Due Diligence Design and Measures Performed
Kyocera undertook due diligence measures to reduce the risk of funding armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congoand its adjoining countries (DRC Countries) from its supply chain in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Actof 1934.
Design of Due Diligence
Kyocera designed due diligence in conformity with the internationally recognized due diligence framework set forth in the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains ofMinerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Second Edition (2013), and related supplements therein.
Due Diligence Measures Performed
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems(1) Conflict Minerals Policy
Kyocera’s basic policy is to conduct fair trades in its purchasing activities based on the “Kyocera Philosophy.” In terms of a
specific procurement policy, the “Kyocera Supply-Chain Corporate Social Responsibilities Deployment Guideline*” is provided toand shared with suppliers, and is also disclosed on Kyocera’s website.
Kyocera’s policy is not to purchase conflict minerals which may serve as funding sources for armed groups committing humanrights violations in DRC Countries, or materials and products using metals made from such conflict minerals.
* Available from: http://global.kyocera.com/ecology/social/images/csr_guide.pdf
2(2) Internal Organization
Kyocera established the “Kyocera Conflict Minerals Committee” (the Committee) in 2013 as a structure with the primary role of
implementing the above policy related to conflict minerals. The Committee decides on the fundamental method of investigating
conflict minerals within Kyocera and the content of information for disclosure while also reporting the details of these activities tomanagement in a timely and appropriate manner. In addition, the Committee builds awareness of regulations and policies related toconflict minerals among subsidiaries and takes responsibility for promoting adequate initiatives concerning conflict minerals
throughout the Kyocera Group.
The Committee is comprised of a Corporate Officer or General Manager from the relevant divisions or departments such aspurchasing, investor relations, general affairs, internal audit and legal affairs.
The Committee has also established the Administrative Team of Conflict Minerals Committee (the Team) comprised of theaforementioned divisional representatives as a subordinate structure. The Team liaises with the person in charge of the purchasing
division in each subsidiary and makes individual response related to conflict minerals surveys and information disclosure.
In order to ascertain risks in responding to conflict minerals, the Committee acts as the point of contact for stakeholders andpurchasing divisions, and has the role of responding to complaints and whistleblower reports related to conflict minerals collected
through an internal whistleblower system.
In addition, the Committee entrusts authority for such activities at AVX to an internal structure within that company with asystem set up for receiving timely reports on the results of these activities.
(3) External Framework for Cooperation with Supply Chain Management
Kyocera seeks to advance partnerships and cooperation with industry organizations to enable an adequate system of cooperation
with outside entities regarding conflict minerals. Specifically, Kyocera has participated in the “Responsible Minerals Trade Working
Group” established within the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) as a principal member
since its inauguration in order to realize responsible minerals procurement and meet regulations related to Section 1502 of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act enacted in the United States.
As the team leader for awareness building and public relations within the “Responsible Minerals Trade Working Group,”
Kyocera helps to identify and respond to challenges in surveys as well as conduct survey briefing sessions among other cooperative
activities. Members of Kyocera have served as instructors at conflict minerals survey briefing sessions held by JEITA. In addition toproviding instructors for the briefing session in June 2015, Kyocera provided panelists who participated as members for JEITA in a
symposium on future harmonious coexistence concerning sustainable mineral procurement held by Nikkei Business Publications in
December 2015. In these and other ways Kyocera is contributing to further enhancement of understanding of conflict minerals.
(4) Engagement with Suppliers
Kyocera requests of suppliers that transactions are to be conducted in accordance with its Supply-Chain CSR Deployment
Guidelines, and requests compliance from suppliers to deal with conflict minerals.
Kyocera has conducted briefing sessions for suppliers both in Japan and overseas with the aims of explaining its policy for
dealing with conflict minerals and requesting cooperation on the survey by using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (theTemplate) prior to conducting it. From April to July 2015, Kyocera held briefing sessions and workshops in Japan, China andMalaysia, where the Kyocera’s suppliers are concentrated. A total of four briefing sessions were held in Tokyo and Kyoto forsuppliers with representatives from 138 companies in attendance. Workshops were also held in China and Malaysia for Kyocera
employees in charge of handling the conflict minerals survey in an effort to strengthen Kyocera’s internal framework.
Step 2: Identify and assess risk in the supply chain
In the 2015 survey, Kyocera made efforts to enhance the survey collection rate by prompting suppliers yet to complete thesurvey to do so by the end of the Template submission due date.
Kyocera examined and confirmed instances of non-conformity and contradiction in content by using a statistical tool released by
the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) on its website. Subsequently, Kyocera compared smelters or refiners
identified through the survey against the Compliant Smelters and Refiners Lists published by Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI)
to determine whether the identified smelters/refiners have obtained CFS validation.
3

Kyocera participated in the process of identifying smelters/refiners by submitting data on smelters/refiners that cannot be
identified in the “Conflict Free Sourcing Working Group” established to collaborate in dealing with conflict minerals issues by theindustry organizations JAMA, Japan Auto Parts Industries Association (JAPIA) and JEITA.
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Kyocera requested additional surveys including interviews and reinvestigation as well as improvement from “critical suppliers” who
responded that they use conflict minerals from DRC Countries and suppliers who responded that they have not yet completed the
RCOI. In cases where these suppliers do not meet the requirements made by Kyocera, or a supplier is deemed to pose a significant
risk, Kyocera will require them to sign a letter of commitment that states they will comply with Kyocera’s conflict minerals policy.
Kyocera’s policy is to discontinue or cease doing business with suppliers who refuse to sign the agreement or who have not madevisible improvements to alleviate risk. Further, Kyocera belongs to a team, newly formed by JEITA, which assists smelters, and has
started outreach activities directly urging smelters to obtain CFS validation.
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain
Kyocera uses the CFS program when conducting due diligence in the supply chain. JEITA participates and collaborates with the
CFSI, and Kyocera cooperates with the CFSI as a principal member of JEITA. Kyocera also makes use of the CFS program
coordinated by the CFSI to determine whether or not smelters within its supply chain have completed or have committed to undergo
an audit.
Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence
Kyocera will file the Form SD along with this Conflict Minerals Report*, its accompanying document, with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission and disclose it publicly through the Company’s website.
* Available from: http://global.kyocera.com/ir/financial/cmr.html
4Part 3: Result of Due Diligence Measures Performed
Kyocera reconciled the smelters and refiners reported in the Template prepared by suppliers with those in “the Standard Smelter
Names” released by the CFSI, and Kyocera has identified the following facilities of 3TG in its supply chain.

Part 4: Future Due Diligence Measures
Kyocera is unable to determine whether or not 3TG, which may be used to manufacture Kyocera’s manufactured or distributed
products, are DRC conflict free. Therefore, the products listed above are considered to be DRC conflict undeterminable. Kyocera is making
this determination because it does not have sufficient information from suppliers or other sources to conclude whether the necessary conflictminerals originated in DRC Countries and, if so, whether the necessary conflict minerals were from recycled or scrap sources, were DRC
conflict free or have not been found to be DRC conflict free.
Kyocera will continue to make efforts to determine the mine(s) or location of origin with the greatest possible specificity including theuse of the due diligence measures described above.
