Exhibit 1.01
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF CPI CARD GROUP INC.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019
Date: May 29, 2020
This Conflict Minerals Report for CPI Card Group Inc. (“CPI,” “Company,” “we,” “our”) is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”) for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2019.
Conflict Minerals are defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite and gold, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (collectively “3TG”). During calendar year 2019, CPI manufactured and contracted to manufacture products in which 3TG were necessary to the functionality or production of those products.
CPI therefore conducted a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (“RCOI”) to determine whether any of those minerals: (1) originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola (together, the “Covered Countries”); or (2) are from recycled or scrap sources.
A. Introduction:
CPI’s Business: We are a payment technology company and leading provider of comprehensive Financial Payment Card solutions in the United States. We define “Financial Payment Cards” as credit, debit and Prepaid Debit Cards issued on the networks of the “Payment Card Brands” (Visa, Mastercard®, American Express® and Discover® in the United States) and Interac (in Canada). We define “Prepaid Debit Cards” as debit cards issued on the networks of the Payment Card Brands but not linked to a traditional bank account. We have established a leading position in the Financial Payment Card market through more than 20 years of experience.
CPI’s Supply Chain: The CPI supply chain has a few key suppliers which have product association with 3TG. CPI is typically many tiers removed from smelters or refiners that would have information on mines supplying 3TG. Moreover, to the extent 3TG are present in CPI products, the content may be at trace levels. Obtaining information regarding smelters, refiners and mine locations remains challenging. Challenges include delayed supplier responses, incomplete or inconsistent data and, in some cases, the need for supplier follow-up.
CPI’s Conflict Minerals Policy: CPI has established a statement on conflict minerals that applies to all CPI suppliers. It is available on our website (https://www.cpicardgroup.com/supplier-responsibility/). CPI is committed to responsible sourcing of 3TG using the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) guidance, so as not to support conflict or
human rights abuses in the Covered Countries, while avoiding de facto embargoes. The CPI Conflict Minerals Policy forms the basis for CPI’s conflict minerals program, and its requirements are communicated to CPI’s suppliers through outreach and contract terms.
B. Description of RCOI:
RCOI Elements: The elements of CPI’s RCOI are identification and prioritization of suppliers, supplier data collection and an assessment of supplier data to determine whether further due diligence was required.
Prioritized Supplier Inquiry: In view of CPI’s supply chain, CPI determined that a reasonably designed and good faith inquiry should focus on higher priority suppliers consistent with RMI’s Five Practical Steps to Support SEC Conflict Minerals Disclosure. Key CPI personnel identified products containing 3TG necessary to the functionality or production of those products (“Necessary 3TG”). CPI determined that our products containing the following features may have Necessary 3TG as part of the attributes including:
· Magnetic stripe
· Cards with a tungsten core
· Secure chip products
· Antenna for dual interface
· Foil
· Holograms
Data Collection: Once the suppliers (“Supplier Group”) were identified, CPI asked the Supplier Group to provide information about the Necessary 3TG in their products based on responses to the industry standard RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). This request was made using email. Additionally, e-mail reminders were sent to those in the Supplier Group who had not responded and follow up phone calls were made.
Data Validation: CPI conducted data validation on all submitted CMRTs and retained all submitted CMRTs for recordkeeping purposes. The goal of data validation is to increase the completeness and accuracy of the submissions and to identify any contradictory responses in the CMRT.
We validated whether any 3TG sourced from the Covered Countries is conflict-free based on the information provided by our Supplier Group, through RMI RCOI data and by other information available on RMI’s website.
There were eleven suppliers in the Supplier Group. We received responses from all of the suppliers in the Supplier Group. Based on the responses received to the Company’s RCOI, CPI compiled a list of 329 verified, unique smelters, including information regarding associated countries of origin. CPI identified smelters which we could not confirm were conforming or had unknown sourcing as identified in Annex I.
C. Results of RCOI
Downstream companies such as CPI are not likely to have direct information on the sources of minerals upstream of the smelters in their supply chains. Instead, downstream companies rely on available information regarding smelters identified through supplier inquiry. Accordingly, CPI limited our review to supplier responses resulting from the inquiry.
Based on the information provided by the Supplier Group and otherwise obtained through the due diligence process, we have constructed, to the extent reasonably determinable by us, the table in Annex I regarding the Conflict Minerals included in our Covered Products. Since most of our suppliers report on a “Company” basis and not specific to the products that they provide to us, there may be smelters listed in the report that provide conflicts minerals that are not included in our Covered Products.
D. Due Diligence
CPI designed its overall Conflict Minerals procedures in conformity with the five step framework contained in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition, and the supplements on tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold. The principal features responding to each of the five steps are outlined below:
1. Establish strong company management systems. CPI did this by:
· Creating an internal policy governing our conflict minerals compliance program;
· Publishing its Conflict Minerals policy at https://www.cpicardgroup.com/supplier-responsibility/;
· Utilizing the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative to identify smelters and refiners in the supply chain;
· Having a cross-functional conflict minerals steering committee, with representatives from finance, legal and purchasing functions to provide oversight to CPI’s conflict minerals program;
· Requiring all our 3TG suppliers to conduct the necessary due diligence and provide us with proper verification of the country of origin and source of the materials used in the products they supply to us; and
· Supporting initiatives to verify smelters and refiners that are conflict-free, and expecting our suppliers to utilize any such conflict-free smelter/refiner programs that are available.
2. Identify and assess risk in the supply chain. CPI did this by:
· Surveying suppliers of products that CPI identified that had the potential to contain Conflict Minerals;
· Reviewing supplier Conflict Minerals Reporting Template submission to identify errors, omissions and missed expectations; and
· Evaluating smelter information provided by the supply chain against data from the Responsible Minerals Initiative.
3 Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks. CPI did this by:
· Providing an update to the Audit Committee of CPI’s Board of Directors; and
· Increasingly emphasizing CPI’s Conflict Minerals policy intent to expect our suppliers to source materials from suppliers who also source responsibly.
4 Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices CPI is several steps away in the supply chain from smelters and refiners that process the Conflict Minerals used in our products, does not have any direct relationships with such smelters or refiners and did not obtain from a third party or perform ourselves a direct audit of smelters and refiners within our supply chain. Instead, we relied on conflict-free designations based on the activities of other organizations such as the RMI (through the RMAP).
5 Report on supply chain due diligence. CPI did this by:
· Filing an annual Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission and making that filing available on the Company’s website.
E. Future Due Diligence Measures
During the 2020 calendar year, we expect to continue to engage in the activities described above, including our efforts to resolve inconsistencies and incomplete responses in the reports from our Supplier Group. We plan to continue to request that our Supplier Group use the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.

F. Conclusion
Based on its RCOI, CPI was able to determine that some smelters may be present in conflict zones, and some of the smelters are not on the conforming list. As part of the ongoing due diligence process, CPI is continuing to work with suppliers to preference conforming smelters and transition non-conforming smelters out of the supply chain.
