Alphabet Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2016
This Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2016 (this “CMR”) is presented tocomply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”),
which requires certain reporting and disclosure related to conflict minerals. Conflict minerals
are currently defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, gold, or their derivatives,
1
which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“3TG”) ​for the purpose of thisassessment. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of theirconflict minerals and whether or not their conflict minerals fund armed conflict. Please refer tothe Rule, Form SD, and SEC Release No. 34-67716 for definitions to the terms used in this CMR,
unless otherwise defined herein.
Statements in this CMR are based on our due diligence activities performed in good faiththrough April 30, 2017 for the calendar year 2016 and are based on information available at thetime of this filing, unless otherwise indicated. Factors that could affect the accuracy of thesestatements include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier data or available smelter andrefiner (collectively referred to as “smelters”) data, errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters,
ongoing certifications of smelters, continued guidance or amendments to the Rule, and otherissues. Additionally, this CMR may contain forward-looking statements that reflect what we
strive to achieve in the future as we continue to improve our responsible sourcing program.
These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are
subject to risks and uncertainties.
References to our websites and information available through these websites is notincorporated into this CMR.
Throughout this CMR, we use “Alphabet,” “we,” “our,” “us” and similar terms to refer to Alphabet
Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Alphabet”), unless otherwise indicated, and use “Google”
to refer to Google Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet.
1. Overview(A) Company
Alphabet is a collection of businesses, the largest of which is Google. It also includes
businesses that for financial reporting purposes we combine as Other Bets that are pretty far
afield of our main Internet products, such as Access, Calico, CapitalG, GV, Nest, Verily, Waymo,​The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted);cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is
extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State tobe financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
1and X. The objective of our Alphabet structure is about helping businesses within Alphabet
prosper through strong leaders and independence.
Our Google segment represented approximately 99% of our consolidated revenues in 2016. It
generates revenues primarily by delivering online advertising that consumers find relevant andthat advertisers find cost-effective. Our Other Bets businesses are also making important
strides in their industries, and our goal is for them to become thriving, successful businesses in
the medium to long term. This CMR covers all products as described below from Google andOther Bets.
(B) In-Scope Products
While we generate revenues primarily from advertising, we also generate revenues from the saleof hardware and other devices. The hardware and other devices that were considered in scope
for this CMR pertain to consumer-facing devices such as phones, home assistants, streaming
devices, tablets, healthcare technology, thermostats, smoke alarms, video cameras ​and otherelectronics.
(C) Supply Chain
Our supply chain consists of a diverse range of suppliers and several manufacturing models.
The products described above were manufactured by other companies on our behalf. Whether
we are working with an Original Equipment Manufacturer or working more closely with the
product’s design, we are several tiers away from the smelter and country of origin of the 3TG
used in our products. We do not directly purchase raw materials. In addition, many of the
suppliers we work with are not directly subject to the Rule and its corresponding regulations.
Due to our position in the supply chain and limited visibility and leverage over the deeper levelsof the supply chain, we engage and actively cooperate with other industry members via ourparticipation in the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (the “CFSI”) which includes using the tools
and programs developed by the CFSI such as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the“CMRT”) and the Conflict-free Smelter Program (the “CFSP”).
(D) Conflict Minerals Policy
We believe it is essential to establish validated conflict-free sources of 3TG within the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) and adjoining countries (together, with the DRC,
the “Covered Countries”), so that these minerals can be procured in a way that contributes toeconomic growth and development in the regions. To aid in this effort, we have established aconflict minerals policy and an internal team to implement the policy. Our conflict minerals
policy is accessible on our website at ​https://abc.xyz/investor/conflictminerals/​.
We expect our suppliers to source 3TG from compliant conflict-free smelters such as those
audited through the CFSI or the CFSP ​(www.conflictfreesourcing.org​), perform due diligence on
the source and chain of custody of the 3TG used in our products, and provide their due diligencemeasures to us upon request.

2. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
To identify which of our suppliers to survey regarding the source of the 3TG used in our
products, we inventoried our products to determine which completed products were either
manufactured or contracted for manufacture by us between January 1, 2016 and December 31,
2016, and if they were intended to enter the stream of commerce. ​For products in scope, we
identified and compiled a list of our suppliers (our “in-scope suppliers”) from whom werequested information regarding their sourcing of 3TG.
We requested that such identified in-scope suppliers provide us with information regarding their
supply chain using the CMRT from the CFSI. The CMRT included questions about location ormine of origin of the 3TG in the products, and obligated in-scope suppliers to make similar
efforts to survey their supply chains using the CMRT and report the smelters and location ormine of origin of necessary 3TG. We reviewed and monitored responses from our in-scope
suppliers and followed up with any questions, as appropriate, to further qualify their responses.
If an in-scope supplier did not respond, we made multiple attempts to contact the in-scope
supplier.
Although we received a high response rate from our in-scope suppliers, certain in-scope
suppliers identified some smelters in their supply chains that were not recognized as a valid
smelter by the CFSI. Our in-scope suppliers provided data to us at either the supplier level or the
product level but, in many cases, in-scope supplier responses did not relate specifically or solely
to the products supplied to us. Additionally, some of our in-scope suppliers indicated that they
are still in the process of gathering information from their suppliers. We continue to work with
our in-scope suppliers to ensure that all of their suppliers are represented.
In-scope supplier responses indicated that some of the smelters used by certain in-scope
suppliers at various levels of our supply chain obtain 3TG from the Covered Countries. In-scope
supplier responses also indicated sourcing 3TG from outside of the Covered Countries, fromrecycled or scrap sources, and from unknown origins. Based on the results of our supply chain
survey and due to the nature of our supply chain as described in Section 1(C) above, we wereunable to verify with certainty the source and chain of custody of all of the 3TG used in our
products. Due to the fact that 10% of the smelters, all of which are compliant, disclosed by ourin-scope suppliers have been reported by the CFSI to source from the Covered Countries, we
proceeded by conducting due diligence as described in Section 3 below.
3. Due Diligence
Our due diligence measures were designed in accordance with the framework set forth in The
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for
Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Second
Edition, 2013 (“OECD Guidance”), and the related Supplements for 3TG.

Below is a description of our due diligence activities performed for the 2016 reporting year as
they relate to the five-step framework set forth in the OECD Guidance.
OECD Step 1 - Establish strong company management systems● Our conflict minerals policy described in Section 1(D) is publicly available on our
website.
● We have an internal team, which includes representatives from supply chain, legal, andfinance organizations, that is responsible for executing our conflict minerals program.
● Our governance structure includes senior management from our in-scope supply chains,
legal and finance organizations who are responsible for monitoring our due diligence
activities.
● We include responsible sourcing and due diligence requirements in Google’s Supplier
Code of Conduct and in our master supplier contract template.
● We communicate with our in-scope suppliers to use the CMRT to disclose sourcing
information about the 3TG in their products.
● Our products utilize a system that includes online platforms for storing and managing
our conflict minerals due diligence activities, communications, and results.
● We have a document retention policy for maintaining conflict minerals program
documentation for a minimum of five years.
● We have a grievance mechanism for reporting violations of our policies.
OECD Step 2 - Identify and assess risk in the supply chain● We requested that our in-scope suppliers provide a CMRT in order to collect information
about the smelters of 3TG used in our products.
● We assessed the CMRTs received from our in-scope suppliers for completeness andreasonableness based on internally defined review criteria.
● We validated whether each smelter disclosed by our in-scope suppliers was a compliant,active or standard smelter by checking against the smelter data provided by the CFSI.
● We integrated conflict minerals criteria into our Sustainable Supply Chain audit program.
OECD Step 3 - Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks● We provide regular updates to our sustainable supply chain team on our due diligence
activities and Conflict Minerals Report.
● We update our Audit Committee at least annually on our due diligence activities andConflict Minerals Report.
● We contacted standard smelters that were not yet compliant or active to emphasize theimportance of being certified by the CFSI as conflict-free.
● We continued to support sourcing from the “Covered Countries” and supported in-region
projects through our contributions to the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible
Minerals Trade, and Pact to address the child labor issues in the DRC, the CFSP, and the
CFSP’s Initial Audit Fund.

OECD Step 4 - Carry out independent third-party audits of supply chain due diligence at identified
points in the supply chain● Google joined the CFSI in 2013 (member ID: GOOG). In 2016, the membership wastransferred from Google to Alphabet, and we continue to be a member.
● We relied upon the CFSI to validate that companies meet the criteria of smelter and thencertify them as conflict-free.
● We conducted sustainable supply chain audits, with independent third parties, on a
portion of our suppliers, which included reviewing their conflict minerals programs.
● We began to conduct onsite standard smelter visits in coordination with other CFSI
member companies to help the smelters prepare for the actual CFSP audit.
OECD Step 5 - Report on supply chain due diligence● We publish a CMR annually, and our reports are accessible on our website athttps://abc.xyz/investor/conflictminerals/​.
4. Due Diligence Results
Smelter Disclosure
Based on our due diligence of the information provided by our in-scope suppliers for the 2016
reporting period, we have reason to believe that a portion of the 3TG used in our products
originated from the Covered Countries. While we have not identified any instances of sourcingthat directly or indirectly supported conflict in the Covered Countries, we are not declaring any ofour products to be “DRC Conflict Free.” In some instances, information provided by our in-scope
suppliers was unverifiable or incomplete and, as such, we were unable to verify with certainty
the source and chain of custody of all of the necessary 3TG in our products. Based on our due
diligence, we identified 307 total smelters, of which 80% are considered compliant on the CFSI
website. This represents an improvement from 75% in 2015. Additionally, we identified 14 active
smelters bringing the total number of compliant and active smelters to 260 or 85% of our total
smelters.
The results of our due diligence on the 3TG used in our in-scope products are noted below:

available on the CFSI's website (www.conflictfreesourcing.org) as of March 31, 2017. Smelters and refiners on theActive list have committed to undergo a CFSP audit or are participating in one of the cross-recognized certification
programs and have submitted a signed Agreement for the Exchange of Confidential Information and Auditee
Agreement contracts​. P​ lease refer to Appendix I for a combined list of smelters as disclosed in this table.

Efforts to Determine Mine or Location of Origin
As part of our due diligence process described in Section 3 above, we worked to ensure that ourefforts to identify mines and the country of origin of the 3TG in our products have beenreasonable and aligned to industry practices through our support of processes and tools
developed by the CFSI. Appendix II includes the country of origin data provided to the CFSI for
compliant smelters only.
5. Continuous Improvement in Understanding Source of Material
We recognize that efforts to reduce violence associated with conflict minerals are ongoing andrequire continually adapting to changing situations. We will continue to improve our compliance
processes including, but not limited to, taking the following steps:
●

●

●
●
●

In the 2017 reporting year, we will continue to engage with in-scope suppliers to gain
better visibility of the country of origin and chain of custody of the 3TG used in our
products.
We will continue to use and encourage our in-scope suppliers to use publicly available
tools from the CFSI; we will continue to work with our in-scope suppliers and engage
with our supply chain to increase the quality of the data provided to us.
We will continue to be a member of the CFSI and contribute to the various initiatives, as
described above.
We will continue to encourage our in-scope suppliers to source from conflict-freesmelters that are listed as compliant by the CFSI.
As we enter into co​ntracts with new suppliers and renew contracts with existing
suppliers, we will continue to include requirements that our suppliers support ourconflict minerals policy and due diligence efforts.

The CFSI generally does not specify individual countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed bycompliant smelters and refiners and thus we were not able to determine with certainty the specificcountries 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.
