    Section 1. Conflict Minerals Disclosure

     

    Item 1.01. Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

     

    Conflict Minerals Disclosure

     

    Canadian Solar Inc. (“Canadian Solar”) is one of the world’s largest solar technology and renewable energy companies, a leading manufacturer of solar photovoltaic modules, a provider of battery energy storage solutions, and a developer of utility-scale solar power and battery energy storage projects. Canadian Solar’s global footprint spans North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Australia, South America, the Middle East and Africa. Canadian Solar’s business is divided into two segments: CSI Solar, which focuses on solar module and battery energy storage product manufacturing, and Recurrent Energy, which focuses on solar power and battery storage project development, asset sales, power services, and electricity revenue from its operating portfolio.

     

    The disclosures herein for the reporting period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 are presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. According to section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the definition in the Form SD and for the purposes of this assessment, conflict minerals are defined as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten.

     

    Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

     

    Canadian Solar has taken the following steps as part of its reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine whether the conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country:

     

    · listed out the materials and products in its supply chain during the reporting period;

     

    · determined which conflict minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by Canadian Solar (“necessary conflict minerals”);

     

    · identified the immediate suppliers whose products contained necessary conflict minerals (“In-Scope Suppliers”);

     

    · requested that In-Scope Suppliers provide a confirmation statement on where they obtained their products and materials that contained conflict minerals to determine whether further procedures and inquiries were necessary for these products and materials; and

     

    · analyzed whether the necessary conflict minerals used by Canadian Solar during the reporting period may have originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country or whether they were from scrap or recycled sources.

     

    Canadian Solar determined that during the reporting period, the only conflict mineral necessary to the functionality or production of products that it manufactures or contracts to be manufactured was tin. In the processing of solar modules, Canadian Solar uses copper strip which is coated with tin. In addition, solder used in junction boxes and for other purposes contains tin. Canadian Solar has made inquiries with all its suppliers of tin-containing products about the source of the tin used in their products and further requested that these suppliers provide a confirmation statement on the origin of the tin contained in their products to determine whether further procedures and inquiries were necessary. Canadian Solar does not make purchases of raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and makes no purchases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries.

     

    Determination

     

    Based on Canadian Solar’s reasonable country of origin inquiry, Canadian Solar has no reason to believe that its necessary conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
