As a precondition to doing business with Lumileds, we require suppliers to share our commitment to responsible business practices.

We enforce this commitment through the Supplier Sustainability Declaration policy that sets standard labor, environmental, ethics, and health and safety requirements for suppliers. Our Supplier Sustainability Declaration is based on the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) (formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition) code of conduct Version 6.0 (2018). In accordance with the California Supply Chain Transparency Act (SB 657), the Supply Chain Transparency statement provides information on our efforts to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking in the supply chain.

Additionally, Lumileds oversees a Conflict-Free Minerals Program that ensures that our supply chain is conflict free. Our Conflict-Free Minerals Program follows the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas. To support the program, we require suppliers to perform supply chain due diligence, identify all smelters in their supply chain, and take corrective actions when needed.

Read more about our Responsible Supply Chain actions in our Sustainability Report.

Lumileds Conflict Minerals Policy

The four most commonly mined conflict minerals are tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold. Each of these metals are used in the manufacturing of LEDs. As outlined in our Conflict Minerals Position Statement, Lumileds is committed to not purchasing raw materials, subassemblies, or supplies that contain conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups. Lumileds also asks our suppliers to establish their own Conflict Minerals Policies and to only use validated smelters. Further, Lumileds supports organizations including the Responsible Minerals Initiative that seek to prevent minerals that directly or indirectly finance the DRC conflict from entering the electronics supply chain.

Conflict Free Smelters and Refiners 

The Responsible Minerals Initiative helps companies make informed choices about responsibly sourcing minerals in their supply chains. The organization conducts independent third-party audits of smelter and refiner management systems and sourcing practices to form a comprehensive list of conformant companies. Lumileds uses this list to assess our suppliers and will not work with any that use non-conforming smelters and refiners.
