Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report
of NVIDIA Corporation
for the Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2023
This Conflict Minerals Report of NVIDIA Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is being filed for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023 in compliance with Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Because conflict minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of products contracted by us to be manufactured between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, or the Reporting Period, we were required to conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry, or RCOI, regarding those conflict minerals that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, which we refer to collectively as the Covered Countries, or are from recycled or scrap sources. “Conflict minerals” are defined in Item 1.01(d)(3) of the Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD, or the Form SD, as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten, or collectively, 3TG.
Based on the RCOI, if we have reason to believe our necessary conflict minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and have reason to believe that they may not be from recycled or scrap sources, we must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of our conflict minerals, and file a Conflict Minerals Report to describe our due diligence efforts on the source and chain of custody of such 3TG.
OUR COMPANY
NVIDIA pioneered accelerated computing to help solve the most challenging computational problems. NVIDIA is now a full-stack computing infrastructure company with data-center-scale offerings that are reshaping industry.
Our data-center-scale offerings are comprised of compute and networking solutions that can scale to tens of thousands of GPU-accelerated servers interconnected to function as a single giant computer; this type of data center architecture and scale is needed for the development and deployment of modern AI applications.
We do not manufacture semiconductors used for our products. Instead, we utilize a fabless manufacturing strategy, whereby we employ key suppliers for all phases of the manufacturing process, including wafer fabrication, assembly, testing, and packaging. This strategy uses the expertise of industry-leading suppliers that are certified by the International Organization for Standardization in such areas as fabrication, assembly, quality control and assurance, reliability, and testing. Additionally, we can avoid many of the significant costs and risks associated with owning and operating manufacturing operations. While we may directly procure certain raw materials used in the production of our products, such as memory, substrates and a variety of components, our suppliers are responsible for procurement of most of the raw materials used in the production of our products. As a result, we can focus our resources on product design, additional quality assurance, marketing, and customer support.

OUR COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
NVIDIA is committed to the responsible sourcing of minerals. Our goal is to use only conflict-free 3TG from the Covered Countries in our products. We support, contribute to, and rely on industry-wide efforts to validate the source of minerals used in our products, ensuring that they come from socially responsible sources and do not contribute to human conflict. We’re a member of the Responsible Business Alliance, or RBA, the Responsible Minerals Initiative, or RMI, and the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade. Additionally, we participate in various RMI work groups and align our program with the organization’s tracking of additional minerals and materials and with geographic areas of high concern. We support these on-the-ground programs aimed at improving transparency for responsible sourcing and reducing human rights risks.
DUE DILIGENCE PROGRAM DESIGN
Our conflict minerals due diligence program is designed to conform in all material respects with the framework recommended by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD, Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, or the OECD Guidance, as it relates to our supply chain position as a “downstream” purchaser. Summarized below are the components of our program as they relate to the five-step framework set forth in the OECD Guidance:
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
•Adopted and publicly communicated a Responsible Minerals policy endorsed by our Executive Vice President, Operations, most recently updated in 2023, in which we declared that we adopted the Code of Conduct of the RBA, which includes the standard regarding responsible sourcing of conflict minerals. The Responsible Minerals policy is posted on our website at http://images.nvidia.com/content/includes/gcr/pdf/nvidia-responsible-minerals-policy.pdf
•As a member of the RBA, required that our suppliers and contract manufacturers acknowledge and implement the RBA’s Code of Conduct, which includes an obligation to conduct due diligence on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals
•Established a system of control and transparency over our conflict minerals supply chain by engaging first-tier and second-tier suppliers and requesting relevant information through the use of a third-party supplier management vendor which utilized due diligence tools created by the RMI, including the conflict minerals reporting template, or the CMRT
•Provided at least quarterly updates on our conflict minerals due diligence progress and status to our Executive Vice President, Operations
•Maintained an independent corporate hotline to allow any employee to confidentially and anonymously lodge a complaint about any matter of concern, including those related to conflict minerals (unless prohibited by local privacy laws for employees located in the European Union)
Step 2: Identify and assess risk in the supply chain
•Identified relevant suppliers that supplied products containing 3TG by reference to bills of materials
•Requested such suppliers to provide information regarding smelters or refiners in our supply chain by using the CMRT
•Reviewed supplier responses for completeness and accuracy
•Compared information in supplier responses with the list of 3TG processing facilities that received a “compliant” designation, produced by the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process, or RMAP, of the RMI, as well as with the smelters that were audited by the London Bullion Market Association, or LBMA, the Responsible Jewelry Council, or RJC, and the Tungsten Industry—Conflict Minerals Council, or TI-CMC. In 2019, the RMI developed an overarching RMI Recognition Process that covers requirements for program cross-recognition of industry initiatives’ comparable assessment programs, as well as other types of recognition including Upstream Assurance Mechanisms and Voluntary Standard Systems recognition
•Contacted non-responsive suppliers, requesting their responses
•Provided suppliers with feedback on responses containing errors, inconsistencies, or incomplete information
•Required potential new suppliers to complete a CMRT for diligence review and risk ranking
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
•Reported progress on at least a quarterly basis to our Executive Vice President, Operations
•Identified main risks in our supply chain
•Contacted certain smelter and refinery facilities that have not received a “compliant” designation from an independent third-party audit program to encourage their participation
•Implemented a risk mitigation response plan to monitor and track unresponsive suppliers and/or incomplete or inaccurate supply chain information
•Reviewed and compared the list of smelters in our supplier base against Office of Foreign Assets Control-sanctioned countries and Specially Designated Nationals
•Requested that certain suppliers remove specific smelters or refiners from their supply chain that we deemed to be high-risk
•Informed non-responsive suppliers that we will assess, and potentially withhold, future business with them if they do not acquire materials from conflict-free sources within the Covered Countries and do not provide their supply chain conflict minerals information to us using the CMRT
•Removed companies from our supplier base due, in part, to their failure to comply with our responsible minerals policy
•Conducted meetings with certain customers and responded to their specific concerns and requests
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain
•Relied on the RMAP, the LBMA, the RJC, and the TI-CMC to coordinate third-party audits of smelters and refiners to validate the sourcing practices of such facilities in our supply chain
•Provided indirect financial support for such third-party audits through our continued membership in the RBA and RMI
•Participated in RBA work groups, including smelter engagement and outreach
Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence
•Adopted and publicly communicated a responsible minerals company policy endorsed by our Executive Vice President, Operations, most recently updated in 2023, which is posted on our website at http://images.nvidia.com/content/includes/gcr/pdf/nvidia-responsible-minerals-policy.pdf
•Published conflict minerals information in our annual corporate responsibility report, which is posted on our website at https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/csr/
•Filed our Form SD for the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, including this Conflict Minerals Report, with the Securities Exchange Commission and made it available on the Investor Relations page of our website at http://investor.nvidia.com/sec.cfm
•Reported supply chain smelter information in this Conflict Minerals Report

REASONABLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INQUIRY (RCOI)
NVIDIA’s supply chain is complex and there are multiple tiers between NVIDIA and the actual mining of the 3TG. Because we utilize a fabless manufacturing strategy, we must rely on our suppliers and component manufacturers, including sub-tier suppliers, to provide us with information on the origin of the 3TG contained in our products and product components.
To conduct our RCOI, we identified our suppliers and component manufacturers of products manufactured during the Reporting Period and requested that they each provide NVIDIA with a list of the smelters and refiners associated with the 3TG in their products and components via the CMRT. Our goal was to determine whether any 3TG in our products or components originated in the Covered Countries. During the Reporting Period, one hundred percent of our suppliers and component manufacturers responded with the requested information, and we compared their responses with the RCOI data provided by the RMAP.
Our RCOI revealed that, of the 237 worldwide processing facilities in our supply chain which sourced 3TG for our products contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period, 37 smelters and refiners were identified by the RMI as sourcing from the Covered Countries and were not solely from recycled or scrap sources. This is based on an RCOI report released by the RMI on March 29, 2024. Therefore, we believe that a portion of the 3TG contained in our products or components originated in the Covered Countries, and we are filing this Conflict Minerals Report accordingly.
DESCRIPTION OF DUE DILIGENCE MEASURES PERFORMED
Below is a description of the measures we performed for this Reporting Period to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of our necessary conflict minerals.
We requested supply chain information from one hundred percent of our direct suppliers that may use necessary 3TG in our products and components to determine whether any of these minerals originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources. We used third-party supplier management software to track these communications with direct suppliers, automate the identification of quality issues, aggregate CMRT responses for analysis and reporting, and perform additional follow up with those suppliers whose CMRTs contained incomplete or potentially inaccurate information. After reviewing the names provided by our suppliers and component manufacturers against the RMI lists of verified smelters and refiners, we consulted with our RMI colleagues to distinguish those that were actual smelters and refiners from other participants in the upstream supply chain, such as brokers and traders. We provided our list of smelters and refiners for inclusion in the RMAP, which utilized an independent third party to conduct audits, according to the standards of the OECD Guidance, of willing smelters and refiners to determine the source and origin of their ore, as well as whether they were conflict-free.
COUNTRY AND MINE OR LOCATION OF ORIGIN OF NECESSARY CONFLICT MINERALS
Based on the due diligence described above, we determined that the supply chain for our products contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period sourced conflict minerals from up to 237 processing facilities worldwide, of which, as of March 29, 2024:
•220 have been validated by the RMAP as “compliant,” including 36 smelters and refiners which were identified by the RMI as sourcing from the Covered Countries;
•3 were “active” as defined by the RMAP and in the process of being audited by an independent third party;
•7 were classified by the RMAP as not in operation or having temporarily ceased operations, or had been reclassified as a non-smelter; and
•7 are under review by the RMAP as no longer compliant:
◦5 were compliant for part of 2023 but did not renew their audits and have since been removed from NVIDIA’s supply chain
◦2 were compliant for 2023 but became non-compliant in the first calendar quarter of 2024, and we are working with our suppliers to encourage the smelters to participate again in the RMAP program.
A list of smelters and refiners that sourced 3TG for our products contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
We requested mine or location of origin information, if known, from each of our direct suppliers, most of which do not source directly from processing facilities, for the purposes of determining the source and chain of custody of the necessary 3TG in our supply chain. Based on country of origin information provided by the RMI for RMAP-compliant processing facilities, the necessary 3TG in our products which may have originated from the Covered Countries came from one or more of the countries listed in the attached Exhibit B, and the necessary 3TG in our products which may have originated from outside the Covered Countries came from one or more of the countries listed in the attached Exhibit C.
However, we are unable to determine, as of the date of the filing of the Form SD to which this Conflict Minerals Report is an exhibit, the origin of all necessary 3TG that were contained in the products we contracted to manufacture during the Reporting Period.
STEPS TAKEN OR TO BE TAKEN TO MITIGATE RISK AND IMPROVE DUE DILIGENCE
NVIDIA has been a member of the RBA, a coalition of leading electronics companies working together to improve social, ethical, and environmental responsibility in the global supply chain, since 2007. We have also been an active participant in the RMI, a multi-sector partnership focused on addressing conflict minerals issues and challenges, including representation in its Due Diligence Practices Team, to assess ongoing risks with 3TG and future risks concerning other minerals and global regions. Additionally, to support initiatives targeted at improving the traceability of conflict minerals in the Great Lakes Region of Central Africa, which includes the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we joined the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade in 2013 and renewed our membership for an additional five years in 2023.
We are also part of the Smelter Engagement Team sub-work group of the RMI, which performs outreach to smelters, encouraging recognized smelters and refiners to participate in the RMAP. By leveraging our membership and participation in RBA work groups, we have encouraged approximately 30 smelters or refiners that were neither compliant nor active, according to the RMAP, to be audited by an independent third party. Apart from our participation with the Smelter Engagement Team, since 2013 we have also contacted over 100 smelters and refiners directly to encourage them to be audited through RMAP.
We have adopted a goal to use only conflict-free 3TG in our products. Accordingly, we have implemented a formal responsible minerals policy by which we communicate our expectation to our suppliers that they acquire materials from conflict-free sources within the Covered Countries and to provide their supply chain conflict minerals information to us using the CMRT. We have also informed them that we will assess, and potentially withhold, future business with suppliers who do not comply with our policy. We continuously review our approved vendor list based on suppliers ranked as a high risk for conflict minerals concerns, and request that our suppliers remove from our supply chain those smelters which continued to be non-compliant to the RMAP protocol, “not in operation” or “not recognized by the RMI.” Non-compliant companies are removed from our supplier base accordingly.
In 2023, we undertook several additional activities to mitigate risk in our supply chain and improve our due diligence measures. We continued our involvement in the RMI’s Smelter Engagement Team, including participation in the Global Research Team sub-work group, which is responsible for researching important foundational work as well as investigating alleged smelters and refiners to determine their eligibility for RMAP. Additionally, we continued to expand on our initial investigation of cobalt and mica by leveraging our third-party supplier management software to survey all suppliers for cobalt and mica use and smelter and refiner data.
In 2024, we plan to enhance our conflict minerals due diligence program by continuing to monitor additional legal requirements, including additional potential conflict minerals reporting in the European Union and elsewhere, to determine any future obligations regarding conflict materials and high-risk regions of the world. Additionally, we intend to continue to survey our supply chain for cobalt and mica, both of which have been recently added to the RMI’s Extended Minerals Reporting Template, or EMRT.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON DUE DILIGENCE MEASURES
Because of our fabless manufacturing strategy and our contract manufacturing process for our branded devices, our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals in the products we contract to have
manufactured. Given our place in the supply chain, we have no direct relationships with smelters or refiners, and therefore possess no independent means of determining the source and origin of conflict mineral ores processed by smelters or refiners. Our due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our suppliers and component manufacturers and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary conflict minerals. We also rely, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by independent third-party audit programs. Such sources of information may yield inaccurate or incomplete information and may be subject to fraud.
