Exhibit 1.01
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
OVERVIEW
This report for the reporting period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 has been prepared by SYNNEX Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (collectively, the “Conflict Minerals Rule”). As used herein and consistent with the Conflict Minerals Rule, “Conflict Minerals” or “3TG” are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite and the derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten, without regard to the location of origin of the minerals or derivative metals.
We are a leading business process services company, providing a comprehensive range of distribution, logistics and integration services for the technology industry and providing outsourced services focused on customer engagement to a broad range of enterprises. We are organized to provide our products and services through two reportable business segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. Our Technology Solutions segment distributes peripherals, IT systems including data center server and storage solutions, system components, software, networking, communications and security equipment, consumer electronics, and complementary products. Within our Technology Solutions segment, we also provide systems design and integration solutions. Our Concentrix segment offers a portfolio of technology-infused strategic solutions and end-to-end global business outsourcing services focused on customer experience, process optimization, technology innovation, front and back-office automation and business transformation to clients in five primary industry verticals. Our revenues for 2019 largely were from distribution and business services that were not in-scope for purposes of our compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule.
PRODUCT SCOPING; REASONABLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INQUIRY; DUE DILIGENCE DETERMINATION
For 2019, a portion of the systems design and integration business within our Technology Solutions segment involved our manufacture, through assembly or integration, of data center servers and storage products. 3TG were necessary to the functionality or production of these manufactured products. Accordingly, these products were in-scope for purposes of our compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule. Taken as a whole, our in-scope products contained all four 3TG, but each individual product did not contain all four 3TG.
We purchase only finished components and do not purchase 3TG directly from any smelter, refiner or mine. We have relationships with an extensive network of suppliers throughout the world, and we believe that there are generally multiple tiers between the mines, smelters, refiners and our direct suppliers. Therefore, we have requested our direct suppliers to work with their upstream suppliers so that they may provide us with information about the origin of 3TG in the components we purchase for inclusion in the products that we manufacture.
To determine whether any of the 3TG in the components contained in our data center servers and storage products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”), or were from recycled or scrap sources, we conducted a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (“RCOI”) within the meaning of the Conflict Minerals Rule, requesting that suppliers of the components we included in our manufactured products for 2019 complete the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), which includes questions regarding identified smelters and refiners in the supplier’s supply chain and the supplier’s compliance procedures. We determined that requesting that our suppliers complete the CMRT represented our reasonable best efforts to determine the mines or locations of origin of 3TG in our supply chain. Our RCOI utilized the processes and procedures contemplated by Steps 1 and 2 of the OECD Guidance (as defined below). Selected elements of those steps are discussed under “Due Diligence.”
A minority of the suppliers responded with completed CMRTs. Of the suppliers that completed CMRTs, the majority provided data at the company level, with a minority reporting at a level specific to the products or category of components that we purchased from them. Some suppliers indicated that 3TG contained in their components were not sourced from the Covered Countries, and some suppliers indicated that their products contain 3TG sourced from the Covered Countries but from smelters and refiners which were certified as “Conformant” by an independent third party. There were also some suppliers that indicated they used some recycled or scrap 3TG content in the types of components they sell.
After conducting an RCOI and exercising the due diligence described in this Conflict Minerals Report, as applicable, and in light of the limited information specific to our products provided to us by our suppliers, we concluded for 2019 that each of our data center servers and storage products contained 3TG of undetermined origin. Based on the information provided by the suppliers that completed CMRTs, we believe that the facilities used to process necessary 3TG contained in our in-scope products may include the smelters and refiners listed in the Annex at the end of this Conflict Minerals Report; we are not able to determine the countries of origin of the 3TG processed by such smelters and refiners. We endeavored to determine the mine or location of origin of the necessary 3TG contained in our in-scope products by requesting that the suppliers provide us with a completed CMRT and through the other procedures followed by us that are described in this Conflict Minerals Report.
Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, with the due diligence framework presented by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in the publication OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Third Edition), including the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”). The OECD Guidance has established a five-step framework for due diligence as a basis for responsible global supply chain management of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. Our implementation of the OECD Guidance in respect of 2019 is discussed below, but these were not all of the discrete measures that we took in furtherance of our conflict minerals policy (which is discussed below) or pursuant to the Conflict Minerals Rule and the OECD Guidance.
| 1. | Establish Strong Company Management Systems |
Our 3TG due diligence team was led by our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, and our President, Hyve Solutions, and included subject matter experts from legal, finance, product management, and sales. We also retained specialist outside counsel to assist us with selected aspects of our compliance efforts.
We used the CMRT to identify smelters and refiners that were possibly in our supply chain. We maintain business records relating to 3TG due diligence in respect of 2019, including records of due diligence processes, findings and resulting decisions, on a computerized database, and relevant materials are preserved for appropriate periods consistent with the OECD Guidance.
We have a conflict minerals policy, which is available on our website at https://ir.synnex.com/governance/default.aspx#section=governance-documents (the “Conflict Minerals Policy”). The Conflict Minerals Policy sets forth our expectation that the suppliers in our supply chain procure 3TG responsibly and avoid sourcing that funds armed conflict contributing to the crisis in the Covered Countries. Our
Conflict Minerals Policy also sets forth our expectation that our suppliers facilitate our efforts by providing us with appropriate information when we request, and conduct the necessary due diligence to identify smelters and refiners, from which the 3TG in their respective supply chains originate. We have a public email address (conflictmineralsinquiries@synnex.com) available on our website for general inquiries and grievances regarding our 3TG program and sources of 3TG. This mechanism serves as our grievance mechanism.
We do not support the embargo of 3TG from the Covered Countries and other conflict-affected and high-risk regions and are supportive of suppliers continuing to source from responsible sources in those areas.
To further our efforts in identifying and assessing 3TG sourcing risks in our supply chain, we include a 3TG flow-down clause in new supplier contracts that requires suppliers to provide us with information about the source of 3TG.
| 2. | Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain |
To determine whether any of the necessary 3TG contained in our in-scope products originated in the Covered Countries, we requested that direct suppliers of the components we used in the in-scope products complete the CMRT. We requested our suppliers’ cooperation in gathering information from their respective suppliers.
We reviewed the completed CMRTs received from our suppliers. To the extent that a CMRT identified a smelter or refiner, we reviewed that information against the Smelter Look-up tab list of the CMRT and the list of “Conformant” and “Active” smelters and refiners published by the RMI. We also used the CMRT responses to review our direct suppliers’ due diligence activities, such as whether they had a conflict minerals policy and required their own suppliers to source from Conformant sources.
| 3. | Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks |
Senior management was briefed about our due diligence efforts. We have a risk management plan that outlines our responses in general terms to identified risks.
| 4. | Carry Out Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain |
In connection with our due diligence, we utilized and relied on information made available by the RMI concerning independent third-party audits of smelters and refiners. We do not have a direct relationship with any smelters or refiners and do not perform or direct audits of those entities within our supply chain.
| 5. | Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence |
This Conflict Minerals Report and our Form SD are available on our website and are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on the information provided by our suppliers, we believe that the facilities used to process the 3TG in our products may include the smelters and refiners listed in the Annex below.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Annex have the meanings set forth in the Conflict Minerals Report of which this Annex is a part.
Smelters and Refiners (1)
The following list includes smelters and refiners in “product” level CMRTs that we received. The list may not include all of the smelters and refiners that processed 3TG in the products that we manufactured for 2019 and may include smelters and refiners that processed 3TG in the general category of components a supplier sells but were not in the individual components we purchased from the supplier, as (i) the list contains only smelters and refiners listed as smelters and refiners by the RMI, (ii) not all of our suppliers completed CMRTs, (iii) many of the suppliers indicated that they only identified a portion of the smelters and refiners in their supply chain, and (iv) not all of our suppliers confirmed to us that their CMRTs were limited to only the individual components we purchased.

(1) We note the following in connection with the information contained in the foregoing table:
(a) All compliance status information in the table is as of May 21, 2020.
(b) “Conformant” means that a smelter or refiner has successfully completed an assessment against the applicable Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (the “RMAP”) standard or an equivalent cross-recognized assessment. Included smelters and refiners were not necessarily Conformant for all or part of 2019 and may not continue to be Conformant for any future period.
(c) “Active” is a RMAP designation that means that the smelter or refiner has committed to undergo an RMAP assessment, completed the relevant documents, and scheduled the on-site assessment. These may be in the pre-
A-6
assessment, assessment, or corrective-action phases of the assessment. For 2019, none of the smelters and refiners identified by our suppliers on product level CMRTs were listed as “Active.”
(d) “On Smelter Look-up Tab List Only” means that a smelter or refiner is listed on the Smelter Look-up tab list of the CMRT, but is not listed as “Conformant” or “Active.”
(e) The compliance status and smelter and refiner location indicated in the table is based solely on information made publicly available by the RMI, without independent verification by us.
