Conflict Minerals Report
Xerox Holdings Corporation
Xerox Corporation
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020
This report for the year ended December 31, 2020 is made by Xerox Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Xerox Corporation, (collectively, Xerox) in compliance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Rule).
The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG). These requirements apply to registrants regardless of the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not the trading in those minerals benefits armed groups.
If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the conflict minerals in their supply chain may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country (the Covered Countries), or a registrant is unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the registrant must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of those conflict minerals. The registrant must annually submit a specialized disclosure (Form SD) and Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.
1. | COMPANY OVERVIEW |
Xerox Corporation is a workplace technology company, building and integrating software and hardware for enterprises large and small. As customers seek to manage information across digital and physical platforms, we deliver a seamless, secure and sustainable experience. Whether inventing the copier, the Ethernet, the laser printer or more, Xerox has long defined the modern work experience and continues to do so with investments in artificial intelligence (AI), sensors and services for Internet of Things (IoT), digital packaging, 3-D printing and Clean Technologies (cleantech). Geographically, our footprint spans approximately 160 countries and allows us to deliver our technology and solutions to customers of all sizes, regardless of complexity or number of customer locations. In 2020, in addition to software and services, Xeroxs products included but were not limited to multifunction printers/copiers, scanners, and multifunction/all in one printers, digital printing equipment, production printers & digital presses, continuous feed printers, wide format printers and consumables (e.g., toner cartridges). Xerox products are more fully described on our Xerox website, which can be accessed at www.xerox.com.

2. | OUR CONFLICT MINERALS PROGRAM |
2.1 Supply Chain - Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Xerox is many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals. The origin of conflict minerals cannot be determined with any certainty once the raw ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other conflict mineral containing derivatives. The 3TG smelters or refiners are consolidating points for raw ore and
are in the best position in the total supply chain to know the origin of the ores. Xerox has conducted an analysis of our products and found that, although we do not directly purchase conflict minerals from our suppliers, Xerox purchases products, component parts and materials that contain metals, some of which contain conflict minerals. We rely on our Tier 1 suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in components that are included in our products by using the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), which allows us to perform our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI).
2.2 Supplier Risk Assessment
Because of the size of our company, the complexity of our products and the depth and breadth of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify sources upstream from our direct suppliers. As a result, Xerox conducted a product review to determine products in scope and developed a supplier risk assessment process, through which the conflict minerals program is implemented, managed and monitored. With a goal of targeting 3TG minerals, this risk assessment process was developed to identify those suppliers whose products may contain the presence of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.
We conducted a survey of these suppliers to determine whether the conflict minerals in components contained in our products originated from the DRC or adjoining countries. This supply-chain survey was conducted with our Tier 1 production suppliers using the CMRT, which contains questions about the facilities used to process these minerals, as well as supplier RCOI. The goal of this activity was to identify, where applicable, the 3TG smelters or refiners who contribute refined conflict minerals to Xerox components, assemblies and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Products. The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters or refiners that provide material to a companys supply chain. It includes questions regarding a companys conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters or refiners the company and its suppliers use. Our supplier survey request also included the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), informational links on available conflict mineral and smelter information. In 2020, Xerox surveyed 148 suppliers with an 89% response rate, estimated to represent over 98% of production spend of 3TG surveyed suppliers and 59% of our 2020 total spend with all production suppliers.
The responses contained information regarding the names and locations of 3TG smelters or refiners which process necessary conflict minerals used by our suppliers, which are ultimately incorporated into our products. We have designed and adopted a risk management plan that summarizes our risk mitigation efforts. Under our risk-assessment process, we perform due diligence reviews of supplier responses for their use of 3TG and conduct follow-up actions on suppliers, encouraging further requests for accurate, complete or missing template information where responses identified red flags based on our risk assessment of the level of risk of the commodities supplied to us.
In 2020, we partnered with Assent Compliance and continued to refine our process of evaluating the CMRTs to assist with our ongoing risk assessment by analyzing supplier responses and providing feedback to suppliers on errors and corrections. We also provide a hot-line for supplier communication. In addition, we provide monthly reports and systematic management reviews to our senior management and elevate non-responsive issues as necessary.
2.3 Company Management Systems
Policy
Xerox has adopted a company policy which is posted on our website under Supplier Governance - Conflict Minerals at www.xerox.com/en-us/about/supplier-relations/governance
Internal Team
Xerox has established a management system for conflict minerals. Our management system includes a Senior Management Steering Committee sponsored by the Chief Operations Officer who reports directly to our CEO and who is responsible for signing the Form SD, as well as senior executives from Global Procurement, Environment Health Safety & Sustainability, and Legal. Our team of functional subject matter experts is responsible for implementing our conflict minerals compliance strategy. Senior management is provided with updates and results of our conflict minerals program efforts on a regular basis.
2
2.4 Control Systems
Controls include, but are not limited to, our Code of Business Conduct for our employees, our Supplier Code of Conduct (adopted from the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), and a conflict minerals contract clause incorporated in our Multi-National Master Purchasing Agreement for new contracts.
Xerox worked with the RBA in the early stages to support the RMI and continues to be a member of the RMI, a group assisting in the development of tools and processes to improve conflict minerals due diligence. As outlined in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, 3RD Edition, (OECD 2016), which is the internationally recognized standard on which our companys system is based. We support the RMI, an industry initiative that audits smelters and refiners due diligence activities. The data on which we relied for certain statements in this declaration was obtained through our membership in the RMI, using the RMI Compliant Smelter Sourcing Information Report created specifically for Xerox.
In addition, our current standard supplier contracts also require our suppliers to adopt a policy on the responsible sourcing of minerals, implement due diligence processes to support that policy, and complete and return to Xerox the RMI CMRT.
2.5 Grievance Mechanism
We have multiple longstanding grievance mechanisms whereby employees and suppliers can report violations of Xerox policies. This is communicated annually in our employee code of ethics training process and the supplier ethics letter. This mechanism helps us to identify and assess risk.
3. | DUE DILIGENCE |
3.1 Design of Due Diligence
Xerox designed its due diligence measures to be in conformity, in all material respects, with internationally recognized due diligence framework OECD 2016.
Following the RMI, OECD and Civil Society calls to action in support of essential on-the-ground initiatives. In 2020 Xerox provided a significant donation to enable essential work to continue in region. With the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting disruptions in 3TG supply chains, the RMI called for support of critical upstream due diligence systems. The International Tin Supply Chain Initiative (ITSCI) needed the support to maintain operations during the COVID-19 crisis. The ITSCI Program for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains is a large-scale joint initiative contributing to better governance, human rights and stability in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda, and Uganda. ITSCI supports member companies implementation of due diligence in 3T supply chains by working with governments, business and civil society, and providing locally based expert teams on the ground.
3.2 Smelter or Refiner Results*
Our due diligence process includes participation in RMI and following the OECD implementation framework. We requested that our suppliers complete the CMRT survey in order to obtain information about 3TG smelters or refiners in our supply chain. We have determined that these actions represent the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TG in our supply chain.
We analyzed and compared all the 3TG smelter and refiner data we received against information obtained from the RMI smelter database. For the calendar year 2020, our due diligence identified 332 smelters and refiners as potential sources of 3TG minerals that were reported to be in our supply chain.
In order to provide compliance status, we completed additional analysis of the 332 smelters and refiners.

4. | DETERMINATION |
The information received from our due diligence efforts from suppliers or other sources is not sufficient to determine the origin of all 3TG our products contain, whether the 3TG come from recycled or scrap sources, the facilities used to process them, their country of origin, or their mine or location of origin. If any supplier reported to us a facility for which we had information that triggered one of our potential risk indicators, then we requested the supplier investigate whether or not that facility contributed 3TG to Xerox products, and if the supplier confirmed that it did, we asked that the supplier remove the facility from our supply chain.
Based on the information provided by our suppliers, we believe that the facilities that may have been used to process the 3TG minerals in our products include the RMI compliant smelters listed in Appendix I below. We have found no reasonable basis for concluding that these refiners, or the other smelters preparing to be audited, sourced 3TG minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups of the conflict region of the Covered Countries.
Based on our due diligence efforts, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of the 3TG minerals in our products or whether the 3TG minerals in our products are from recycled or scrap sources. However, based on the information provided by our suppliers, as well as from the RMI and other sources, we believe that the countries of origin of the 3TG minerals contained in our products include the countries listed in Appendix II below as well as recycled and scrap sources. Pursuant to the Rule, this report is not subject to an independent private sector audit.
4
Through our participation in the RMI, we continue to support independent third-party audits through the RMI or other third party certification schemes.
In accordance with the OECD Guidance and the Rule, this CMR is available on our website under Supplier Governance - Conflict Minerals at www.xerox.com/en-us/about/supplier-relations/governance.
5. | STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN 2021 TO MITIGATE RISK |
Xerox plans to undertake the following steps during 2021 to improve the due diligence conducted in order to further mitigate the risk that the necessary conflict minerals in our products do not benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries, including:
| Continue to strengthen engagement with relevant suppliers and to provide training, as appropriate, to help them understand and satisfy Xerox requirements related to 3TG minerals under the Rule. |
| Continue to review the process with distributors submitting CMRTs and develop best practices in obtaining 3TG mineral data. |
| Continue using internal escalation process within our supply chain organization when working with suppliers to obtain required information. |
| Continue to provide ongoing feedback to suppliers on errors and corrections required in connection with the CMRT assessment and notify suppliers of potential risks identified within the supply chain |
| Continue to participate as a member in the RBA and the RMI, including Conflict Free Smelter Program smelter validation and supplier outreach. |
| Continue to work with the OECD and relevant trade associations to define and improve best practices and build leverage over the supply chain in accordance with the OECD Guidance. |
