Exhibit 1.01


Alphabet Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2017
                    
This Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2017 (this “CMR”) is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”), which requires certain reporting and disclosure related to conflict minerals. Conflict minerals are currently defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, gold, or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“3TG”)1 for the purpose of this assessment. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of their conflict minerals and whether or not their conflict minerals fund armed conflict. Please refer to the Rule, Form SD, and SEC Release No. 34-67716 for definitions to the terms used in this CMR, unless otherwise defined herein.
                    
Statements in this CMR are based on our due diligence activities performed in good faith for the calendar year 2017 and are based on information available at the time of this filing, unless otherwise indicated. Factors that could affect the accuracy of these statements include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier data or available smelter and refiner (collectively referred to as “smelters”) data, errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters, ongoing certifications of smelters, continued guidance or amendments to the Rule, and other issues. Additionally, this CMR may contain forward-looking statements that reflect what we strive to achieve in the future as we continue to improve our responsible sourcing program. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties.
                    
References to our websites and information available through these websites are not incorporated into this CMR.
                    
Throughout this CMR, we use “Alphabet,” “we,” “our,” “us” and similar terms to refer to Alphabet Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Alphabet”), unless otherwise indicated, and use “Google” to refer to Google LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet.                    

1.
Overview
                    
(A) Company
                    
Alphabet is a collection of businesses -- the largest of which, of course, is Google. It also includes businesses that are generally pretty far afield of our main Internet products, such as Access, Calico, CapitalG, GV, Verily, Waymo, and X. We report all non-Google businesses collectively as Other Bets. Our Alphabet structure is about helping each of our businesses prosper through strong leaders and independence.




__________________________
1 The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.



Our Google segment represented approximately 99% of our consolidated revenues in 2017. It generates revenues primarily by delivering online advertising that consumers find relevant and that advertisers find cost-effective. Our Other Bets are early-stage businesses, and our goal is for them to become thriving, successful businesses in the medium to long term. This CMR covers all products as described below from Google and Other Bets.

(B) In-Scope Products
                    
While we generate revenues primarily from advertising, we also generate revenues from the sale of hardware and other devices. The hardware and other devices considered in scope for this CMR pertain to consumer-facing devices such as healthcare technology, home assistants, phones, smoke alarms, streaming devices, tablets, thermostats, video cameras, and other electronics.
            
(C) Supply Chain
                    
Our supply chain consists of a diverse range of suppliers and several manufacturing models. The products described above were manufactured by other companies on our behalf. Whether we are working with Original Equipment Manufacturers or more closely with the product design, we do not directly purchase raw materials and are several tiers away from the smelter and country of origin of the 3TG used in our products. In addition, many of the suppliers we work with are not directly subject to the Rule and its corresponding requirements. To influence activities through multiple tiers of the supply chain, we actively engage with a variety of industry members, including the Responsible Minerals Initiative (the “RMI”) - formally known as the Conflict-Free Smelter Initiative. Our engagement with RMI includes using tools such as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”) and participating in programs such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (the “RMAP”) - formally known as the Conflict-Free Smelter Program.
                    
(D) Conflict Minerals Policy
                    
We believe it is essential to establish validated conflict-free sources of 3TG within the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) and adjoining countries (together, with the DRC, the “Covered Countries”), so that these minerals can be procured in a way that contributes to economic growth and development in the regions. To aid in this effort, we have established a conflict minerals policy and an internal team to implement the policy. Our conflict minerals policy is accessible on our website at https://abc.xyz/investor/conflictminerals/.

We expect our suppliers to source 3TG from conformant conflict-free smelters such as those audited through the RMI's RMAP(http://www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org), perform due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TG used in our products, and provide their due diligence measures to us upon request.
                
2.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
                    
To identify which of our suppliers to survey regarding the source of the 3TG used in our products, we inventoried our products to determine which products were either manufactured or contracted for manufacture by us between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, and if they were intended to enter the stream of



commerce. For products in scope, we identified and compiled a list of our suppliers (our “in-scope suppliers”) from whom we requested information regarding their sourcing of 3TG.
                    
We requested that such identified in-scope suppliers provide us with information regarding their supply chain using the CMRT from the RMI. The CMRT included questions about location or mine of origin of the 3TG in the products, and requested in-scope suppliers to make similar efforts to survey their supply chains and report the smelters and location or mine of origin of necessary 3TG. We reviewed and monitored responses from our in-scope suppliers and followed up if we identified information to be incomplete or inconsistent with the information we would expect from the supplier. We reviewed and monitored responses for completeness and red flags, and took the following actions:

•
If an in-scope supplier did not respond, we made at least three attempts to contact the in-scope supplier via multiple methods.
•
If an in-scope supplier had inconsistent or incomplete information, we contacted the supplier to request updated information, and provided additional training, as necessary.
•
We communicated with suppliers that reported smelters who were not yet identified as RMAP conformant. We worked with such suppliers to improve their responses and commitment to conflict-free sourcing at both company and product levels. We also encouraged suppliers to join in-region collaborations.
                    
We received a high response rate from our in-scope suppliers who provided data to us at either the company or product level. Some of our in-scope suppliers indicated that they are still in the process of gathering information from their suppliers. We continue to work with our in-scope suppliers to ensure that all of their suppliers are represented.

Some in-scope supplier responses indicated that some of the smelters used by them at various levels of our supply chain obtain 3TG from the Covered Countries. Some in-scope supplier responses also indicated sourcing 3TG from outside of the Covered Countries, from recycled or scrap sources, and from unknown origins. Based on the results of our supply chain survey and the nature of our supply chain as described in Section 1(C) above, we were unable to verify with absolute certainty the source and chain of custody of all of the 3TG used by our suppliers and in our products. Due to the fact that 10% of the smelters, all of which are conformant, disclosed by our in-scope suppliers have been reported by the RMI to source from the Covered Countries, we proceeded by conducting due diligence as described in Section 3 below.
                    
3.
Due Diligence
                    
Our due diligence measures were designed in accordance with the framework set forth in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition, 2016 (“OECD Guidance”), and the related Supplements for 3TG.
                    
Below is a description of our due diligence activities performed for the 2017 reporting year as they relate to the five-step framework set forth in the OECD Guidance.
                    
OECD Step 1 - Establish strong company management systems                
•
Our conflict minerals policy described in Section 1(D) is publicly available on our website.



•
We have an internal team, which includes representatives from supply chain, legal, and finance organizations, that is responsible for executing our conflict minerals program.
•
Our governance structure includes senior management from our in-scope supply chains, legal and finance organizations who are responsible for monitoring our due diligence activities. Oversight of the program consists of our CFO, vice presidents from supply chain and business operations, finance, and legal.
•
We include responsible sourcing and due diligence requirements in Google’s Supplier Code of Conduct and in supplier contract templates. Our suppliers are expected to source from conflict-free sources.
•
We communicate with our in-scope suppliers to use the CMRT to disclose sourcing information about the 3TG in their products.
•
Our product areas utilize a system that includes online platforms for storing and managing our conflict minerals due diligence activities, communications, and results.
•
We have a document retention policy for maintaining conflict minerals program documentation for a minimum of five years.
•
We have a grievance mechanism for reporting violations of our policies.
                            
OECD Step 2 - Identify and assess risk in the supply chain                
•
We requested that our in-scope suppliers provide a CMRT in order to collect information about the smelters of 3TG used in our products.
•
We assessed the CMRTs received from our in-scope suppliers for completeness and reasonableness based on internally defined review criteria.
•
We validated whether each smelter disclosed by our in-scope suppliers was a conformant, active or standard smelter by checking against the smelter data provided by the RMI to its members.
•
We provided conflict minerals feedback to in-scope suppliers that were audited by the Responsible Supply Chain audit program. Feedback included follow-up such as when a supplier declared no use of 3TG, but we suspected there was 3TG in the component. We used these audit opportunities to request more schematics on processes and manufacturing to clarify supplier use of 3TG, and educate them on the importance of conflict-free sourcing commitments.
•
We engaged a third party to provide an assessment of 100% of the smelters disclosed by our in-scope suppliers.
•
To further our understanding of mining conditions, we visited mine sites and trading routes of 3TG in Rwanda, the DRC, and Peru.
•
We communicated with in-scope suppliers that reported smelters who were not yet identified as RMAP conformant. We worked with in-scope suppliers to improve their responses and commitment to conflict-free at both company and product levels. We also encouraged these suppliers to join in-region collaborations. We developed a plan for in-scope suppliers not sourcing exclusively from conformant smelters for products, including a timeline for achieving conformance.
                            
OECD Step 3 - Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks             
•
We provided regular updates to our responsible supply chain team on our due diligence activities and Conflict Minerals Report.
•
We updated our Audit Committee on our due diligence activities and CMR.
•
We prepared an annual list of supplier performance for all suppliers that achieved conformance to in-scope product areas. We use this list to guide our continuing business with known conflict-free



sourcing suppliers. This list is also utilized for product decisions to discontinue sourcing relationships.
•
We contacted standard smelters that were not yet conformant or active to emphasize the importance of being certified by the RMI as conflict-free.
•
We continued to support sourcing from the Covered Countries and supported in-region projects through our contributions to the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade (PPA), Responsible Artisanal Gold Solutions Forum (RAGS), and Pact to address the child labor issues in the DRC, and the RMAP’s Initial Audit Fund.
•
We were confirmed to the Governance Committee of the PPA, and joined the Projects and Resources Work Group. We participated in eight RMI advisory and sub-committee groups (Smelter Engagement Team, Due Diligence Practices Team, Blockchain, Plenary, Gold, CMRT, Multi-Stakeholder, and Grievance Platform), which focused on coordinating outreach to smelters and collaboration with RMI staff and fellow suppliers.
•
We participated in two RAGS committees (RAGS Forum and Virtual Reality Task Team).
•
We reviewed known incidents and allegations in the supply chain. In the DRC, we joined the RMI in local and regional government meetings that were organized around identified incidents and allegations, and conflict-free sourcing objectives (including anti-corruption). We observed traceability schemes in operation, and discussed chain of custody due diligence with minerals traders. We had stakeholder meetings in the DRC with RMI to validate chain of custody systems, understand concerns with artisanal and small scale mining communities, and concerns from communities around industrial mine sites.
                            
OECD Step 4 - Carry out independent third-party audits of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain
•
We joined the RMI in 2013 (member ID: GOOG), and we continue to be a member.
•
We relied upon the RMI to validate that companies meet the criteria of smelter and then certify them as conformant via the RMAP.
•
We worked with a third party to provide an assessment of smelters not participating in RMI to give Alphabet visibility on all smelters identified in supplier outreach.
•
We conducted sustainable supply chain audits with independent third parties on a portion of our suppliers, which included reviewing their conflict minerals programs.
•
We completed four onsite standard smelter and refiner visits to encourage participation in the RMAP, and to better understand issues smelters face in the compliance process, and management systems used for compliance and in-region due diligence. As a result, We are considering pilot projects to support on chain of custody enhancements (including blockchain) that improve visibility and accountability throughout the supply chain.
                            
OECD Step 5 - Report annually on supply chain due diligence
•
We publish a CMR annually, and our reports are accessible on our website at https://abc.xyz/investor/conflictminerals/.
•
We published our first Responsible Supply Chain Report, which also included an update on our conflict minerals program.

Due Diligence Results
                    
Smelter Disclosure

Based on our due diligence of the information provided by our in-scope suppliers for the 2017 reporting period, we have reason to believe that a portion of the 3TG used in our products originated from the Covered Countries. While we have not identified any instances of sourcing that directly or indirectly supported conflict in the Covered Countries, we are not declaring any of our products to be “DRC Conflict Free.” In some instances, information provided by our in-scope suppliers was unverifiable or incomplete and, as such, we were unable to verify with certainty the source and chain of custody of all of the necessary 3TG in our products. Based on our due diligence, we identified 306 smelters and evaluated each of them based on third party audits and/or assessments; 253 are considered “conformant” and 8 are considered “active” on the RMI website. Based on our third party assessment and RCOI, we identified an additional 42 smelters as not sourcing from the Covered Countries (or no reason to believe they are sourcing from the Covered Countries) bringing the total number of smelters identified as “conformant”, “active” or not sourcing from the DRC to 303 (99%).

Efforts to Determine Mine or Location of Origin
                    
As part of our due diligence process described in Section 3 above, we worked to ensure that our efforts to identify mines and the countries of origin of the 3TG in our products have been reasonable and aligned with industry practices through our support of processes and tools developed by the RMI. Appendix II includes the country of origin data provided to the RMI for conformant smelters only.






__________________________
2 Three gold smelters that have not been yet been determined to be conformant, active or confirmed by an independent third party, as not sourcing from Covered Countries, are in the early stages of outreach with RMI.    



5.
Continuous Improvement in Understanding Source of Material
                    
We recognize that efforts to reduce violence associated with conflict minerals are ongoing and require continually adapting to changing situations. We are committed to improving our compliance processes as well as actively engaging upstream directly in-region. We will continue to improve our compliance processes including, but not limited to, taking the following steps for the 2018 reporting year:
    
•
We will continue to engage with in-scope suppliers to gain better visibility of the country of origin and chain of custody of the 3TG used in our products.
•
We will support an education campaign around the VR collaboration with RAGS to encourage more visibility and action around conflict-free gold sourcing in the DRC and Covered Countries.
•
We will use and encourage our in-scope suppliers to use publicly available tools from the RMI; we will continue to work with our in-scope suppliers and engage with our supply chain to increase the quality of the data provided to us.
•
We will continue to be a member of the RMI and contribute to the various initiatives, as described above.
•
We will continue to encourage our in-scope suppliers to source from conflict-free smelters that are listed as conformant by the RMI.
•
As we enter into contracts with new suppliers and renew contracts with existing suppliers, we will continue to include requirements that our suppliers support our conflict minerals policy and due diligence efforts.
•
We will continue to explore additional opportunities to support livelihoods and health, improve conservation outcomes, improve stability, and support renewable energy projects to enhance conflict-free mining operations.
•
We will continue to address incidents and allegations through collaboration with relevant stakeholders while also working to support stronger chain of custody and traceability systems.
•
We will continue to work with stakeholders to increase transparency and accountability for conflict-free sourcing.

__________________________
3 The RMI generally does not specify individual countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by conformant smelters and refiners and thus we were not able to determine with certainty the specific countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by the listed conformant smelters and refiners. In addition, for some of the listed conformant smelters and refiners, origin information is not disclosed. The list is based on the country of origin data provided to the RMI for conformant smelters only.
