Arrow Electronics, Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report for the Year Ended December 31, 2023
This Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Arrow” or “Company”) for the reporting period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule”). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on Securities and Exchange Commission registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, and tungsten (collectively, “Conflict Minerals”).

In 2023, the following products, among others, were assembled or modified by Arrow: capacitors; resistors; inductors; diodes; circuit protectors; connectors; wire; magnetics; flat panel and touch screens; personal computers; workstations; hard drives; motherboards; kiosks); power supplies; and lighting assemblies (collectively, “Products”). The Company determined that some of the Products may contain Conflict Minerals necessary to their functionality or production.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Pursuant to the Rule, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals in our Products, to determine whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals in our Products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, “Covered Countries”) and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources.
Arrow utilized the internationally recognized OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas framework (“OECD Framework”) to develop our process to identify the country of origin and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals.
Arrow, as a purchaser, is many steps removed from the mining of any minerals, including Conflict Minerals, and must rely on our direct suppliers to provide us with information on the origin of Conflict Minerals. Arrow did not purchase raw ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals and did no purchasing in the Covered Countries in 2023. Arrow has not knowingly procured any parts containing Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries. The origin of Conflict Minerals cannot be determined with any certainty once the raw ores are smelted, refined,
