Alibaba Group Holding Limited has filed a Form SD with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the reporting period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The report, signed by Company Secretary Kevin Jinwei Zhang on May 28, 2024, details the company's compliance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding conflict minerals. Alibaba conducted a review and a reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine if its products, specifically servers, networking and communication equipment, and components of hardware and smart devices, contained conflict minerals such as tin, tantalum, and tungsten, which are necessary for their functionality or production. The inquiry aimed to ascertain if these minerals originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries or from recycled or scrap sources. While some products were found to possibly contain conflict minerals from the covered countries, there was no evidence suggesting that these minerals finance or benefit armed groups in those regions. Suppliers confirmed compliance with responsible mineral sourcing validation programs or stated that the minerals came from recycled or scrap sources. This disclosure is also publicly available on Alibaba's website.
