Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy Statement
March 13, 2024
The California Transparency in Supply Chain Act of 2010 (SB657) and the U.K. Modern
Slavery Act 2015 (the “Acts”) require certain companies to state their efforts and actions
taken during the fiscal year to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking
place in their operations and supply chains. Similarly, the revised Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) 52.222-50 (entitled “Combating Trafficking in Persons”) and new FAR
provision 52.222-56 (Certification Regarding Trafficking in Persons Compliance Plan) areaimed at removing slavery and human trafficking from the U.S. Federal Government
contracting supply chain.
Likewise, several forced labor regulations, such as the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention
Act (in the U.S.), the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (in Germany), the NorwegianTransparency Act, the New Zealand Modern Slavery Act and the Australia Modern Slavery
Act, require companies to set up processes to identify, assess, prevent and remedy humanrights and environmental risks and impacts in their supply chains and in their own
operations. To comply, such companies must also ensure they provide ways for employees
of indirect suppliers to file complaints alerting the company to any potential human rights
or environmental violations.
onsemi recognizes that slavery and human trafficking can occur in many forms, such as
forced labor, child labor, domestic and indentured servitude, sex trafficking, and workplaceabuse.
onsemi states that we have taken steps during the last fiscal year to identify the risk ofslavery and human trafficking taking place in any of our supply chains and our business.
As a full member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), a nonprofit coalition ofcompanies committed to supporting the rights and well-being of workers and communities
engaged in the global electronics supply chain, we publicly demonstrate our commitment
to environmental and social responsibility. RBA members commit to the RBA Code ofConduct (Code) and, as such, we are expected to actively pursue conformance to theCode through all of our internal operations, as well as our supply chain. The latest Codestates:
Forced labor in any form, including but not limited to, bonded (including debtbondage) or indentured labor, involuntary or exploitative prison labor, slavery
or trafficking of persons is not permitted. This includes transporting, harboring,recruiting, transferring, or receiving persons by means of threat, force,coercion, abduction or fraud for labor or services. There shall be no
unreasonable restrictions on workers’ freedom of movement in the facility inaddition to unreasonable restrictions on entering or exiting company- provided
facilities including, if applicable, workers’ dormitories or living quarters. As part

of the hiring process, all workers must be provided with a written employment
agreement in their native language, or in a language the worker canunderstand, that contains a description of terms and conditions ofemployment. Foreign migrant workers must receive the employment
agreement prior to the worker departing from his or her country of origin andthere shall be no substitution or change(s) allowed in the employment
agreement upon arrival in the receiving country unless these changes are
made to meet local law and provide equal or better terms. All work shall bevoluntary, and workers shall be free to leave work at any time or terminate theiremployment without penalty if reasonable notice is given, which shall beclearly stated in workers’ contracts. Participants shall maintain documentationon all leaving workers. Employers, agents, and sub-agents’ may not hold orotherwise destroy, conceal, or confiscate identity or immigration documents,
such as government-issued identification, passports, or work permits.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, employers can only hold documentation if
necessary to comply with the local law. In this case, at no time shall workers
be denied access to their documents. Workers shall not be required to pay
employers’ agents or sub-agents’ recruitment fees or other related fees fortheir employment. If any such fees are found to have been paid by workers,
such fees shall be repaid to the worker.
The focus on slavery and human trafficking is part of a larger effort of supply chaintransparency and accountability. We partner with our supply chain to create anenvironment where workers have the right to: freely choose employment, associate
freely, voluntarily join, or not join in labor unions and worker councils and bargain
collectively if they choose.
Based on its due diligence process, onsemi has taken multiple actions to verify theprohibition of forced labor, slavery, and human trafficking in our supply chain, including
the following:
1. Verification: We evaluate and address risks of human trafficking and slavery
through conformance to the Code. All major suppliers are required to agree andcomply with the Code and onsemi’s social compliance (formerly corporate socialresponsibility) and environmental requirements. We pursue conformance by usingstatement of conformance agreements with our suppliers, the RBA's Supplier SelfAssessment Questionnaires (SAQ) and the Validated Assessment Program (VAP).
a. The Supplier SAQ is a self-evaluation of the supplier’s facility demographics
and existing policies which address and assess all sections of the Code.
b. The VAP audits conducted on RBA member facilities and their suppliers’
facilities are completed by independent, third-party auditors specially trained

in social and environmental auditing and the VAP audit protocol. This helps toset consistent, industry-wide expectations.
We conduct these activities regularly and extensively.
•We ask our major suppliers that provide external manufacturing services,materials or parts that are in our final products to re-sign the statement ofconformance to the onsemi Code of Business Conduct, social compliancetenets and the RBA Code of Conduct whenever the RBA Code and/or onsemi
Code of Business Conduct has a major change or additional elements areadded to the Codes. Major suppliers that are in the top 80% of the company’sspend must also complete an SAQ. All site-level suppliers are required tocomply with the RBA Code of Conduct, whereas SAQs are optional (but highlyencouraged).

•On January 1, 2024, version 8.0 of the RBA Code of Conduct was released. Aspart of the supplier engagement program, we have updated our statement ofconformance and ask our top 80% spend major suppliers to acknowledge thechanges to version 8.0 of the Code.

The RBA also convenes regular teleconferences, webinars and other meetings thatmake onsemi better able to understand and monitor risk associated with labor
recruitment practices.
2. Supplier Audits: We audit suppliers that we identify as having “higher risk” in oursupply chain. The risk evaluation includes feedback from our supplierassessments and company contacts. These audits are announced andconducted by a third-party firm certified to conduct RBA audits.
3. Certification: Section E12 of the RBA Code of Conduct includes a clause statingthat companies should have a management system that contains “a processto communicate the Code requirements and to monitor supplier compliance tothe Code.” Our manufacturing sites with foreign workers have a rigorous
selection process to ensure the labor agencies at both sending and receiving
countries are following the law and our Code requirements.
The labor agencies supplying domestic and foreign workers are required to signservice agreements to adhere to the Code, which we ask them to re-sign every
two years. Once selected, the company or a third party audits the labor agencies
for continued compliance.
As onsemi is a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), suppliers inour supply chain must certify that they are not supplying us materials fromconflict-affected and high-risk areas.

4. Internal Accountability: Non-compliance with the RBA Code of Conduct onslavery and trafficking is taken seriously. It is considered one of the most
severe types of nonconformance, and corrective action plans to remedy any
identified instances of nonconformance are expected to be implemented at
the shortest possible timeline. The company’s internal manufacturing sites areaudited every two years to the Code and requirements. These audits areannounced and conducted by a third-party firm certified to conduct RBA
audits. Any deficiencies in the management system, internal and external
audits and appropriate actions are logged in our corrective action
management system.
Our RBA internal auditors, some of whom are also certified by the RBA, perform
internal RBA audits against the Code at onsemi manufacturing sites every twoyears. The audit criteria cover five main areas based on RBA audit protocol,
including labor, ethics, health and safety, environment, and management systems,
and include corrective actions.
In 2023, 10 out of 18 onsemi manufacturing facilities were subject to internal audits
and 12 manufacturing sites participated in initial or closing RBA VAP audits. Five ofour sites also participated in customer audits or shared RBA Validated Audit
Reports (VAR) with customers.
5. Capacity-Building/Training: RBA’s eLearning Academy contains online learning
modules that cover the RBA Code of Conduct, as well as modules specificallyrelated to the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act. In addition, there aremodules on hiring and related topics that are particularly relevant to these issues.
Modules can be assigned to both internal staff and suppliers and learning can betracked. Members can also upload their own resources to the eLearning Academy
for their teams. The RBA encourages members to share any resources they may
have on these topics with the RBA for sharing in the eLearning Academy. The RBA
offers in-person training sessions on a variety of topics as well.
In addition, onsemi offers the following to its employees and suppliers:•We ensure training is conducted on the RBA Code of Conduct throughparticipation in Code interpretation, RBA Labor and Ethics Lead Auditor
Training, RBA worker communication classes and/or internally developed
training classes. These are available for all employee levels throughout theorganization.

•Select suppliers and on-site service providers received training on RBA
Code Standards: Labor, Ethics and Management Systems. In doing so,

•Through our annual training of the onsemi Code of Business Conduct,
employees and contractors are further provided with training andeducation relating to the RBA to promote social and environmental
compliance and responsibility in the workplace and the communities weserve.

This disclosure includes the efforts onsemi has taken in our own business, as well as
our suppliers, to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from our supply chain and ourown business. These efforts, as well as this disclosure, are reviewed by our board ofdirectors annually and updated publicly.
