Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
WESCO International, Inc. (Wesco) presents this disclosure for the year ending December 31, 2023, to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Rule), which requires public companies to disclose the use of conflict minerals and whether they have been sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia (Covered Countries). The term “conflict minerals” is defined in the Conflict Minerals Rule as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold.
Where Wesco discovered conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured by Wesco or contracted to be manufactured by Wesco for the year ended December 31, 2023, Wesco conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) regarding those conflict minerals. The investigation was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.
Based on that RCOI, Wesco was unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals. Therefore, Wesco prepared a Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) describing such due diligence measures and attached the CMR as an Exhibit to Form SD hereto.
A copy of Wesco’s Conflict Minerals Report for the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 is filed as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and is publicly available at https://investors.wesco.com/financial-information/sec-filings. The content of any website referred to in this Form SD is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Form SD or our Conflict Minerals Report.
Item 1.02 Exhibit
A copy of Wesco’s Conflict Minerals Report described in Item 1.01 is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.
