Exhibit 1.01
Sanmina Corporation
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2023
I. | Company Background |
Sanmina Corporation (“Sanmina”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a leading global provider of integrated manufacturing solutions, components, products and repair, logistics and after-market services. We provide these comprehensive offerings primarily to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in the following industries: industrial, medical, defense and aerospace, automotive, communications networks and cloud solutions.
II. | Performance of Due Diligence on the Source and Chain of Custody of Conflict Minerals |
We believe that substantially all of the electronic and electro-mechanical products we manufactured for our customers during 2023 include components that contain Conflict Minerals1 necessary to the functionality of such products. As a result and as required by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), we surveyed and performed a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) on the subset of our supplier group that we determined provided components containing Conflict Minerals. The purpose of the RCOI was to determine whether or not the source of such Conflict Minerals was one of the Covered Countries2 or whether such Conflict Minerals came from recycled or scrap sources.
Based upon our RCOI, we know or have reason to believe that some components used in many, if not most, of our customers’ products manufactured during 2023 contained Conflict Minerals originating from the Covered Countries and further that such Conflict Minerals were not sourced solely from recycled or scrap sources. As a result and as also required by the Rule, we undertook further due diligence on the smelter group identified to us by our suppliers as providing the Conflict Minerals contained in the components sourced from such suppliers and specified by our customers or us and that originated in the Covered Countries. The purpose of this further due diligence was to attempt to ascertain whether our indirect sourcing of Conflict Minerals benefitted armed groups in the Covered Countries. We performed this due diligence in conformity with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Due Diligence Guidelines for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas (the “OECD Guidance”) and related supplements.
III. | Design of Due Diligence Process and Alignment to the OECD Guidance |
A. | We have established Strong Internal Company Management Systems |
· | A Conflict Minerals working group led by our global supply chain organization has established and implemented our Conflict Minerals Policy and reports on its activities to Company senior management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors annually and as requested by management. |
· | We use the latest available version of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “Template”)3 developed by the Responsible Business Alliance (the “RBA”) to collect Conflict Minerals information from our suppliers. |
1 Conflict Minerals are defined as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.
2 Under the Rule, the Covered Countries are defined as the following countries: Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
3 The Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company’s supply chain. For its due diligence efforts for the 2023 reporting period, the Company used version 6.31 of the Template.
1
· | We include in our supplier requirements documents and contracts provisions requiring suppliers to recognize our policy and to participate in our RCOI and due diligence activities. |
· | We maintain records of our RCOI and due diligence activities consistent with our record retention policy. |
· | We provide a grievance reporting system that allows employees to report concerns about violations of law or Company policy, including those relating to the Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy. |
B. | We have implemented procedures to identify and assess risks in our supply chain |
· | We employ procedures to identify suppliers that may potentially supply components containing Conflict Minerals. |
· | We ask these suppliers (other than those from whom we source only de minimus amounts of components) to report their Conflict Minerals sourcing activities using the Template in an attempt to identify the smelters and refiners involved and the country of origin of such Conflict Minerals. |
· | We follow up with suppliers, repeatedly if necessary, that do not respond to us by our deadlines. |
· | We check the smelters and refiners identified by our suppliers against the Conformant Smelters and Refiners List (the “Conformant Smelters List”)4 maintained by the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI"). We also check such smelters and refiners against applicable sanctions and denied parties lists maintained by government entities or agencies. |
· | We document country of origin information using multiple third party sources, including the Conformant Smelters List. |
C. | We have designed and implemented a process to respond to such risks as they are identified |
· | We contact suppliers and distributors from which we obtain components directly to obtain additional information regarding smelters or refiners that may pose a higher risk of supplying Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly benefit armed conflict in the Covered Countries. |
· | We work to improve our suppliers’ understanding of the Rule and to improve their response rate to our queries and the quality of their responses, primarily through enhancing our supplier requirements documents and through follow-up conversations during our due diligence process. |
· | We compare the list of smelters provided to us by our suppliers to those requiring outreach per the RMI s and requested, through the suppliers that identified them and also through direct correspondence to such smelters, that they participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process established by the RMI or other internationally recognized responsible sourcing programs. |
· | We bring to the attention of our customers or suppliers, as applicable, the discovery of any information that would lead us to reasonably conclude that the sourcing of components or materials for our engagement with them benefits armed groups in the Covered Countries or could involve smelters that are identified in applicable sanctions and denied parties lists and request that any such smelters be removed from the supply chain. We also provide customers details on suppliers reporting any smelters of concern to our customers upon their request. |
· | If the CMRT returned to us by a supplier that we select includes the name of a smelter that (1) is not participating in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process or similar program and (2) has been flagged by the RMI or other reliable source as high risk, we will engage with such supplier and request that it take appropriate actions, or replace such supplier with one that does not use such smelter. |
4 The Conformant Smelters List is generally understood to contain the names of smelters from which procurement of Conflict Minerals does not benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. However, we can give no assurance that the sourcing of Conflict Minerals from these smelters actually does not benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.
2
· | Our Conflict Minerals working group reports the results of our due diligence efforts to Company management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors on at least an annual basis. |
D. | We support industry organizations carrying out third party audits of smelters and refiners’ facilities and processes |
· | We are a member of the RBA, which develops and implements audit procedures for refiners and smelters. |
E. | We report on our due diligence measures |
· | We publicly disclose our Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy on our corporate web site at http://www.sanmina.com/social- responsibility/ethics-governance/conflict-minerals-policy/. |
· | We publicly report on our due diligence efforts on an annual basis through this Conflict Minerals Report available at http://www.sanmina.com/social-responsibility/ethics-governance/conflict-mineral-reports/. |
IV. | Description of Due Diligence Measures performed for the 2023 Reporting Year |
A. | During 2023, we conducted a survey of all suppliers within scope providing components that may include Conflict Minerals using the Template through an independent supply chain consultant. A total of 1,024 suppliers were identified as in-scope for Conflict Minerals due diligence purposes and were contacted as part of our RCOI process. The response rate among these suppliers was approximately 65%, covering approximately 91% of total spend with such suppliers. |
B. | With the assistance of our independent supply chain consultant, we followed up with suppliers that failed to return a completed Template or that provided incomplete or inconsistent responses. |
C. | We confirmed whether the smelters identified by our suppliers through the Template were included on the Conformant Smelter List. |
D. | We evaluated further information provided to us by our independent supply chain consultant about the smelters identified to us through our due diligence process and conducted additional due diligence to confirm whether any of such smelters identified were included in applicable sanctions and denied parties lists. |
E. | For smelters not included on the Conformant Smelters List, we requested, both directly and through the suppliers that identified them, that they participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process. |
V. | Additional Information |
A. | Facilities Used to Process Necessary Conflict Minerals |
Below is a list of smelters reported to us by our suppliers on Templates we collected for the 2023 reporting period. Since virtually all suppliers completed the Templates on the basis of all of their sales and not just sales to Sanmina, not all of these smelters listed may have processed the Conflict Minerals actually contained in components included in our products during 2023.

5 Certain suppliers reported the presence of this entity that has been sanctioned by the United State Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control. Since virtually all of our suppliers complete the Template on the basis of all of their sales and not just sales to Sanmina, we are unable to confirm whether this or any other smelter listed above is or was active in our supply chain. Nonetheless, Sanmina is in communication with the suppliers who listed this smelter and is seeking to seek to have this smelter removed from their supply chain to the extent that it may be included in ours.

Approximately 66% of the smelters listed above either appear on the Conformant Smelter List, have indicated they will participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process or other internationally recognized responsible sourcing programs or are engaging with the RMI or such programs. For all other smelters, we have contacted them to request that they participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process.
B. | Country of Origin of Necessary Conflict Minerals Contained in Sanmina Products, If Known |
Below is the list of the countries reported as countries of origin by our suppliers on the Templates we collected, and therefore could be countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in our products in 2023.
Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil, Burundi, Cambodia, Canada, Central African Republic, Chile, China, Colombia, Congo (Brazzaville), Czech Republic, Djibouti, DRC- Congo (Kinshasa), Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Guinea, Guyana, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Japan, Jersey, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Korea, Republic of, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mali, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, South Sudan, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
C. | Efforts to Determine Mine or Location of Origin |
Our due diligence process includes efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in our products. These efforts consisted primarily of our participation in the RBA and our review of information reported by our suppliers. As described above, the smelter information that we receive, including, when reported, mine or location of origin, is provided by our suppliers through the Template. In addition, we sought additional information on mines and locations of origin using the Conformant Smelters List. Finally, our independent supply chain consultant reviewed any additional publicly available information regarding mines and locations of origin of the Conflict Minerals used by the smelters reported to us by our suppliers.
D. | Planned Actions for the 2024 Reporting Year |
· | We will ensure that all smelters identified through our due diligence process are checked against applicable sanctions and denied parties lists in order help ensure we do not do business, even indirectly, with a sanctioned entity. |
· | We will continue to seek to enhance our supplier outreach activities with the goal of increasing supplier response rates to our conflict minerals surveys. |
· | We will continue to use information gathered for our 2023 Conflict Minerals reporting activities to refine the list of suppliers to which we send the Template and to focus more outreach efforts on suppliers that have in the past provided us information that required further validation. |
· | We will continue working with suppliers that have provided incomplete or conflicting data on the completed Templates provided to Sanmina to improve their processes and transparency in their supply chains. |
