17 Sustainability Systems Manual Rev. 14 Page 16 of 30 Version 5.0 (2014) ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY CITIZENSHIP COALITION CODE OF CONDUCT The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC ) Code of Conduct establishes standards to ensure that working conditions in the electronics industry supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that business operations are environmentally responsible and conducted ethically. Considered as part of the electronics industry for purposes of this Code are all organizations that may design, market, manufacture or provide goods and services that are used to produce electronic goods. The Code may be voluntarily adopted by any business in the electronics sector and subsequently applied by that business to its supply chain and subcontractors, including providers of contract labor. To adopt the Code and become a participant ( Participant ), a business shall declare its support for the Code and actively pursue conformance to the Code and its standards in accordance with a management system as herein. Participants must regard the Code as a total supply chain initiative. At a minimum, Participants shall also require its next tier suppliers to acknowledge and implement the Code. Fundamental to adopting the Code is the understanding that a business, in all of its activities, must operate in full compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the countries in which it operates.1 The Code encourages Participants to go beyond legal compliance, drawing upon internationally recognized standards, in order to advance social and environmental responsibility and business ethics. In alignment with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the provisions in this Code are derived from key international human rights standards including the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The EICC is committed to obtaining regular input from stakeholders in the continued development and implementation of the Code of Conduct. The Code is made up of five sections. Sections A, B, and C outline standards for Labor, Health and Safety, and the Environment, respectively. Section D adds standards relating to business ethics; Section E outlines the elements of an acceptable system to manage conformity to this Code. A. Labor Participants are committed to uphold the human rights of workers, and to treat them with dignity and respect as understood by the international community. This applies to all workers including temporary, migrant, student, contract, direct employees, and any other type of worker. The recognized standards, as set out in the annex, were

18 Sustainability Systems Manual Rev. 14 Page 17 of 30 used as references in preparing the Code and may be a useful source of additional information. The labor standards are: 1) Freely Chosen Employment Forced, bonded (including debt bondage) or indentured labor, involuntary prison labor, slavery or trafficking of persons shall not be used. 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 in addition to unreasonable restrictions on entering or exiting company-provided facilities. As part of the hiring process, workers must be provided with a written employment agreement in their native language that contains a description of terms and conditions of employment prior to the worker departing from his or her country of origin. All work must be voluntary and workers shall be free to leave work at any time or terminate their employment. Employers and agents may not hold or otherwise destroy, conceal, confiscate or deny access by employees to employees identity or immigration documents, such as government-issued identification, passports or work permits, unless the holding of work permits is required by law. Workers shall not be required to pay employers or agents recruitment fees or other aggregate fees in excess of one month s salary. All fees charged to workers must be disclosed and fees in excess of one month s salary must be returned to the worker. Supplemental Requirement (this requirement has been added by Skyworks and is supplement to the Code requirements) In addition to the requirements as stated in the Freely Chosen Employment section, Skyworks further prohibits workers from being required to pay employers or agents recruitment fees or other aggregate fees. This constitutes a prohibition of the 1 month s salary provision stated above. 2) Young Workers Child labor is not to be used in any stage of manufacturing. The term child refers to any person under the age of 15, or under the age for completing compulsory education, or under the minimum age for employment in the country, whichever is greatest. The use of legitimate workplace learning programs, which comply with all laws and regulations, is supported. Workers under the age of 18 (Young Workers) shall not perform work that is likely to jeopardize their health or safety, including night shifts and overtime. Participant shall ensure proper management of student workers through proper maintenance of student records, rigorous due diligence of educational partners, and protection of students rights in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Participant shall provide appropriate support and training to all student workers.
