Exhibit 1.01 to Form SD

CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT

CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 13P-1 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

This Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) has been prepared by Cisco Systems, Inc. (herein referred to as “Cisco”, the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”). The information contained herein includes the activities of Cisco’s majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. It does not include the activities of variable interest entities that are not required to be consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

This CMR for the reporting period January 1 to December 31, 2015 is presented to comply with the final conflict minerals implementing rules (“Final CM Rules”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as modified by the SEC order issued on May 2, 2014. The Final CM Rules were adopted by the SEC to implement the reporting requirements mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Final CM Rules impose reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain Conflict Minerals (as defined below) that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. “Conflict Minerals” are currently defined by the SEC as Cassiterite, Columbite-Tantalite (Coltan), Gold, Wolframite, or their derivatives, which the SEC has currently limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (collectively or individually, as appropriate, “3TG”).

To comply with the Final CM Rules, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of the products that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture to ascertain whether these Conflict Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, “Covered Countries”) and financed or benefited armed groups in any of these countries.

Overview

Company Overview

Cisco designs, manufactures, and sells Internet Protocol (IP) based networking and other products related to the communications and information technology industry, and provides services associated with these products and their use.

---

Products Overview

We deliver networking products and solutions designed to simplify and secure customers’ network infrastructures. Our products and technologies are grouped into the following categories: Switching; Next-Generation Network Routing; Service Provider Video; Collaboration; Wireless; Data Center; Security; and Other Products. The information set forth under the subheading “Products and Services” in “Item 1. Business” of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on September 8, 2015, is incorporated herein by reference.

Supply Chain Overview

Cisco’s supply chain operations encompass the development, manufacture, distribution and take-back of our products. This includes sourcing, order management, manufacturing, delivery, and “reverse logistics” (which refers to logistics relating to the return, reuse and/or recycling of products).

We spend billions of dollars each year with a complex community of thousands of suppliers around the world. We have categorized our suppliers into three types: manufacturing partners, component suppliers, and logistics and service providers. Certain component suppliers, e.g. packaging suppliers, as well as logistics and service providers were excluded from the reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) and due diligence measures discussed below because we have concluded that they do not provide Cisco with any products within the scope of the Final CM Rules.

Cisco is committed to sourcing components and materials from companies that share our values related to respect for human rights and environmental responsibility. We commenced conflict minerals due diligence on a voluntary basis in 2012. As Cisco does not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters or refiners, we collaborate with our suppliers and other companies within our sector to implement many of our Conflict Minerals compliance policies and processes.

Cisco requires In-Scope Suppliers (as defined below) to provide information regarding the origin, source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in our product components and materials, and Cisco has relied upon such information in the preparation of this CMR.

Overview of Cisco’s Alignment with Existing Conflict Minerals Industry Initiatives

Cisco has been a member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) since April 2008 and a participant in the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), a joint initiative of the EICC and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative. We support this multi-industry initiative that audits smelters’ or refiners’ sourcing activities. We have adopted the CFSI’s standard industry tools and templates, including the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”), which is a standardized protocol for audits of smelters or refiners designed to enable our In-Scope Suppliers to investigate, determine and disclose the identity of the smelters or refiners that are in their supply chains.

---

Design of Cisco’s Conflict Minerals Program

Cisco designed its due diligence with respect to the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in its products based on the five-step due diligence framework set forth in the Second Edition of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, including the supplements thereto.

Description of Due Diligence Measures Performed

Below are the actions performed for this reporting period in order to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained within our products that may or may not have originated from the Covered Countries and may or may not have come from recycled or scrap smelters or refiners. Throughout this CMR the term “In-Scope Suppliers” refers to suppliers for Cisco’s hardware products, assessed according to scoping criteria developed by Cisco that are responsive to the requirements of the Final CM Rules.

In-Scope Supplier Identification – We identified suppliers within our supply chain that could potentially be supplying products/components that contain 3TG. A survey of In-Scope Suppliers was conducted using the CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), which provides a mechanism for In-Scope Suppliers to provide details regarding the smelters or refiners from which they source 3TG.

In-Scope Supplier CMRT Data Collection – We utilized the CMRT to survey In-Scope Suppliers and perform due diligence. With respect to certain In-Scope Suppliers, CMRTs were obtained using external tools and databases.

In-Scope Supplier CMRT Analysis and Research – In-Scope Suppliers that provided inaccurate or incomplete information were contacted in order to correct the information or obtain additional information and/or seek clarification on specific smelters or refiners.

In-Scope Supplier Tracking and Monitoring – We tracked and monitored the completion of CMRTs by In-Scope Suppliers by means of internal tools. We escalated missing CMRTs to our Global Supplier Management team in an effort to reach closure. We also conducted follow-up communications with certain In-Scope Suppliers, including meetings to discuss supplier progress with respect to conflict-free sourcing.

In-Scope Supplier Smelter Analysis – We conducted analysis regarding the smelters or refiners identified by our In-Scope Suppliers, including an RCOI determination, using information provided by the CFSI and other external sources.

---

Results of Cisco’s Due Diligence

In-Scope Supplier Survey Responses

During the reporting year, Cisco surveyed its In-Scope Suppliers using the CMRT. In total, we surveyed 747 In-Scope Suppliers, of which 90% acted upon and returned CMRTs to Cisco. These CMRTs were analyzed as part of our In-Scope Supplier smelter analysis.

Smelter and Refiner Summary

The results of Cisco’s RCOI and due diligence on the source and chain of custody of Cisco’s necessary Conflict Minerals are the product of an iterative and escalating data collection and dialogue process with our In-Scope Suppliers. Cisco’s In-Scope Suppliers identified 315 unique smelters or refiners, down from 513 unique smelters or refiners the previous reporting year. This 39% reduction in unique smelters or refiners can in part be attributed to improved data quality and data collection procedures, as well as changes to certain sourcing practices.

Of such 315 unique smelters or refiners, 214 have been validated as conflict free by the CFSP, meaning that they are compliant with the CFSP’s assessment protocols (collectively, “Validated” smelters or refiners), and 48 are “Active” according to the CFSP, meaning that they either (i) have committed to undergo an audit by the CFSP or (ii) are participating in one or more of the other certification programs recognized by the CFSP (collectively, “Active” smelters or refiners). Table 1 below presents, by Conflict Mineral, the total number of unique smelters or refiners identified and the percentage that are either Validated or Active. See Addendum A for a list of all identified smelters or refiners that are either Validated or Active. The number of smelters or refiners in the Cisco supply chain for the 2015 reporting year that are either Validated or Active has increased by 47% from the previous reporting year.

Table 1 – Validated or Active Smelters or Refiners, by Conflict Mineral.

(as reported to Cisco by In-Scope Suppliers)

 

		Total Smelters or Refiners, by Conflict Mineral (2015)*				Number Validated or Active (2015)				Current Percentage Validated or Active (2015)				Previous Percentage Validated or Active (2014)
Gold		128				94				73%				32%
Tantalum		47				47				100%				70%
Tin		90				77				86%				22%
Tungsten		50				44				88%				52%

*

Includes smelters or refiners that are potential sources of 3TG

Our In-Scope Suppliers also identified the country locations of the potential smelters or refiners reported to Cisco that are not Validated or Active. See Addendum B for a list of such country locations, by Conflict Mineral.

---

Process Improvement Efforts

We intend to take the following steps to improve our due diligence measures and to further mitigate the risk that the Conflict Minerals contained in our products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

 

•

Further collaboration and partnership with CFSI members to verify the status of smelters or refiners that are identified by our In-Scope Suppliers;

 

•

Enhancing In-Scope Supplier communications and training to improve In-Scope Supplier data accuracy and completeness;

 

•

Continuing to exert influence throughout our supply chain through the use of supplier scorecards; and

 

•

Advocating alternative sourcing strategies and educating In-Scope Suppliers regarding the availability of Conflict Minerals from smelters or refiners sourcing from the Covered Countries that are validated by the CFSP.

Summary

Cisco continues to work towards achieving a conflict-free supply chain for our products. However, given that we have received insufficient information with respect to certain smelters or refiners that processed the Conflict Minerals in our products, we are unable to conclude whether our products are conflict free. For this reason, pursuant to SEC guidance issued April 29, 2014 and the SEC order issued May 2, 2014, an independent private sector audit of the report presented herein has not been conducted.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements relating to due diligence process improvement made in this CMR, as well as similar strategy and compliance process statements made in this CMR, are forward-looking in nature and are based on Cisco’s management’s current expectations or beliefs. These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of performance and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors (such as whether industry organizations and initiatives such as the EICC and CSFI remain effective as a source of external support to us in the Conflict Minerals compliance process) that may be outside of Cisco’s control and that could cause actual events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the statements made herein.
