This Report describes the design of our 2022 conflict minerals program and provides an account of how due diligence wasappliedto determine,to thebestofourability,thesource,chainofcustody,andfacilitiesusedto process certain minerals used in Best Buy’s private label products in order to verify that no non‐state armed groupsintheDemocraticRepublicoftheCongo(“DRC”)oranadjoiningcountry(“coveredcountry”)directlyor indirectly benefitted. It is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to our Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD and both documents are posted on our website at www.investors.bestbuy.com.

OverviewofourResponsibleSourcingProgram

Best Buy is committed to respecting human rights and the responsible sourcing of our private label products. We seektoensurethiscommitmentisfulfilledbyengagingourdirectsuppliersandthesmeltersandrefinersreported to be in our supply chain and, wherever possible, we further embed our commitment through contractual and policy requirements, including a supplier code of conduct that sets specific standards related to labor, health and safety, environmental practices, management systems and ethics, and includes provisions directly relating to the responsible sourcing of raw materials.

We recognize the immense complexity of globalized supply chains requires a collaborative approach to address shared challenges. To that end, Best Buy has a long history of engaging industry peers to develop, share and implement best practices that seek to mitigate supply chain risks. In 2018, Best Buy served as the chair of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), an organization whose mission is to provide its more than 400 members with tools and resources to make responsible sourcing decisions. In addition, we served as the chair of the RMI Smelter Engagement Team (“SET”) (2014‐2021) and the co‐chair of the China SET (2016‐2021) to help guide outreachtosmeltersandrefinerstobetterunderstandtheirsourcingpracticesandencouragetheirparticipation in a third‐party audit program.

In 2022, we engaged 85 of our private label suppliers to conduct due diligence on the responsible sourcing of raw materials. The 85 suppliers collectively reported 260 eligible tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold facilities that may have processed the metals that were necessary to the functionality and/or production of our private label products. Of the 260 reported facilities, more than 84% have successfully completed a third‐party audit that assessed their responsible sourcing policies and practices, or they are in the process of completing a third‐party audit. For those facilities that had not committed to an audit, we conducted outreach to encourage their participation in an audit programorwerequestedtheirremovalfromoursupplychain.Whiletherearelimitationstoourprogram,suchas

havingnocontractualrelationshipwithanysmeltersorrefinersandhavingtorelyontheinformationprovidedby several tiers of the supply chain which is challenging to verify, we are unable to confirm that any of the smelters and refiners reported to be in our supply chain sourced from mines that directly or indirectly financed or benefitted non‐state armed groups in the DRC or an adjoining country.

Products

Best Buy is driven by its purpose to enrich lives through technology and our vision to personalize and humanize technology solutions for every stage of life. We accomplish this by leveraging our combination of technologyandahumantouchtomeetourcustomers’everydayneeds,whethertheycometousonline,visitourstores or invite us into their homes. In fiscal 2023, we had operations in the U.S. and Canada.

We sell private label product categories, under brand names Insignia, Dynex, Rocketfish, Platinum, Best Buy Essentials,andModal,collectivelyknownasExclusiveBrands(“ExB”),inwhichwebelievecontaintin,tungsten, tantalum, and/or gold and are therefore within scope of our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) and due diligence efforts include the following:

Appliances	Shredders,coffeemakers,toasters,blenders,etc.
Entertainment	Chargingstations,powerpacks,steeringwheelcombos,etc.

ReasonableCountryofOriginInquiry

The DRC and its adjoining countries have massive reserves of tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (collectively known as “3TG”), all of which are commonly used in the manufacturing of many consumer products. Occasionally, these mineralsareillegallymined,transported,taxed,and/ortradedintheeasternDRCandsurroundingareasbyarmed groups who use funds derived from these activities to fuel violence and commit human rights violations. As such, these minerals, regardless of where they are mined, are known as “conflict minerals.”

Pursuant to the conflict minerals law, we conducted a RCOI on the source of 3TG necessary to the functionality and/orproductionofourproducts(“necessary3TG”)todeterminewhetheranyofthenecessary3TGoriginated in the DRC and its adjoining countries or were from recycled or scrap sources. As part of our RCOI process, we conducted the following activities:

" Reviewed past Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates ("CMRTs"), utilized a 3TGrisk assessment tool and consulted withourengineeringteamtoidentify85active,in-scope, first‐tiersupplierswekneworhadreasontobelieveused necessary 3TG in the production of ExB products (“relevant suppliers”);

" UsedtheCMRTcreatedbytheRMItosurveyrelevantsuppliers,requestingthenamesofthefacilitiesthat processed the necessary 3TG they utilized and the country of origin from which the ores (i.e., unrefined minerals) were sourced;

" Reviewed information provided by the 85 relevant suppliers to determine the completeness and reasonablenessoftheirresponsesandverifiedtheprocessingfacilitiestheyidentifiedbycomparing against the list of known smelters and refiners as provided by RMI;

" ReviewedcountryoforigininformationavailabletoBestBuythroughourmembershipinRMI(memberID V1720151223); and

" Conducted additional research on the 3TG processing facilities identified by relevant suppliers, including directcontactandreviewingreportsfrommedia,governmentandcivilsocietyorganizations,toaugment the country of origin information gathered through CMRTs and our membership in RMI.

Based on the results of our RCOI, we had reason to believe that some of the necessary 3TG used in ExB products mayhavebeenprocessedbyfacilitiesthatsourcedfromtheDRCoranadjoiningcountryandmaynothavebeen from recycled or scrap sources. In compliance withthe conflict minerals law, we then exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary 3TG processed by these facilities that conformed to an internationally recognized due diligence framework.

DueDiligence

To determine, to the best of our ability, the source and chain of custody of the necessary 3TG used in ExB products, we conducted due diligence on our supply chain. Our due diligence measures were developed to ascertainifthemineralsoriginatedfromtheDRCoranadjoiningcountryand,ifso,whetherarmedgroupsdirectly or indirectly benefited as a result. Additional measures were designed to mitigate risks identified through the implementation of our due diligence process.

DesignofourDueDiligenceMeasures

Our due diligence process is designed to conform, in all material aspects given our downstream position in the supply chain, to the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for ResponsibleSupplyChainsofMineralsfromConflict‐AffectedandHigh‐RiskAreas,ThirdEdition,andtherelated supplements on tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (collectively, the “OECD Guidance”), an internationally recognized due diligence framework. In accordance with the OECD Guidance, the design of our due diligence includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. MaintainingastrongcompanymanagementsystemthroughtheadoptionofaConflictMineralsPolicy, the implementation of a conflict minerals governance structure, applying supply chain controls, and strengthened engagement with our suppliers.

DueDiligenceMeasuresPerformed

We worked with RMI and industry peers to ensure the implementation of our company’s due diligence process was aligned with the OECD Guidance and complemented and amplified the industry’s approach. The primary objectiveofthisalignmentwastomaximizetheefficiencyandeffectivenessofoureffortstoidentifysmeltersand refiners and encourage their participation in RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) or an equivalent program, including the London Bullion Market Association’s (“LBMA”) Good Delivery program and the Responsible Jewellery Council’s (“RJC”) Chain of Custody program. For this reporting period, we performed the due diligence measures described below, many of which go beyond compliance, on the source and chain of custody of necessary 3TG in the ExB supply chain that we knew or had reason to believe originated from the DRC or Covered Countries and may not have been from recycled or scrap sources:

OECDGuidanceStep1:Maintainingastrongcompanymanagementsystem

" We maintained a Conflict Minerals Policy (“Policy”) that specifically requires our suppliers to utilize smeltersandrefiners(“SORs”)whohavesuccessfullycompletedathird‐partyauditoftheirduediligence practices;

" ThePolicy,communicatedtoallExBsuppliers,alsorequiresin-scope supplierstohavea conflictmineralspolicy, provide an annual CMRT that identifies the SORs in their supply chain, and apply relevant aspects of the OECDGuidancetotheirsourcingpractices.Theserequirementswereassessedandreinforcedwhenwe conducted social compliance audits at supplier factories;

" WefurtherstrengthenedourengagementwithrelevantExBsuppliersbyprovidingtrainingregardingthe 4

conflict minerals law, our policy requirements, and their role in supporting our RCOI and due diligence efforts; and

" We partnered with a third-party software platform to streamline data collection and reporting. The software is linked to the RMI facility database and maintains up-to-date information on Smelter and Refiner operational and conformance status, as well as RCOI information. The tool performs initial data validation checks on our suppliers’ CMRT data and has improved the quality of our suppliers’ CMRT data giving usmore visibility to potential risk areas. We havestreamlined communication through the platform by providing clear and consistent, automated email guides to drive corrective actions for suppliers, including submission reminders, data errors, and additional actions required.

" Wesurveyedrelevantsuppliers,viaRMI’sConflict MineralsReportingTemplate,twicein2022toidentifytheSORs in the ExB supply chain. We required CMRTs be completed at a product level from more than 51% of relevant suppliers in 2022, resulting in more accurate data;

" All our suppliers’ CMRTs underwent a  two-step validation process. Theywere initially assessedthrough the software platform for completeness and accuracy and returned to vendors as needed to get additional information.We identified 34 suppliers with incomplete or inaccurate CMRTs and all 34 suppliers returned an updated CMRT. This was followed by a more in-depth review by our team. 16 high risk CMRTs were identified as needing additional corrective action and we will continuously monitor these suppliers for their improvement in the coming year.

ResultsofDueDiligencePerformed

We conducted the due diligence process described above to identify SORs and ascertain source and chain of custody information for the necessary 3TG in our ExB supply chain. In 2022, we further assessed the products in scope and have excluded any products where the supplier merely has affixed brands, trademarks, logos, or labels to generic products manufactured by a third party, as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission guidance.

In 2022, more than 84% of the processing facilities reported by relevant suppliers have been found conformant to the RMI, LBMA, or RJC standard via an independent, third‐party audit or they have committed to go through an audit. Nevertheless, based on our due diligence process and the subsequent information we gathered, we are unable to determine the origin of all the 3TG used in our products and whether armed groups directly or indirectly

benefited. This is primarily due to incompleteinformationfromsupplierswhowereunabletoidentifyalltheSORsusedintheirsupplychain,often because ofunwilling orinept upstream actorsin theirsupply chain,companylevelCMRTs in which weare unabletodiscernwhichofthereportedSORsprocessedthenecessary3TGinourproducts,andthelackoftransparency among smelters who have not yet been audited, in particular, gold refiners. Further complicating our ability to determine the origin of all the necessary 3TG is our downstream position in which we have no contractual relationship with upstream actors.

Ofthe260smeltersandrefinersprovidedbyrelevantExBsuppliers,weidentified38forwhichwehadreasonto believe thatatleast aportionofthe 3TG they processedmay have originated in theDRC oranadjoiningcountry and may not have been from recycled or scrap sources. All 38 of these processing facilities have been found conformant through RMAP or another independent, third‐party audit program. Furthermore, we have not identified a supplier, smelter, or refiner who we have reason to believe may be sourcing from the DRC or an adjoining country and directly or indirectly benefiting armed groups.

We are also aware that allegations, including violence perpetrated by security forces at source mines and ties to corrupt business entities in the sourcing of gold, have been leveled against a few of the smelters reported to be in our supply chain. We take these allegations seriously and we are monitoring third‐party investigations and correctiveactionstakenbythesesmelters.Basedontheresultsoftheseefforts,wemaytakeadditionalaction,up to and including the removal of these smelters from our supply chain.

BestBuyiscommittedtobeasociallyandenvironmentallyresponsiblecorporationandthiscommitmentextends throughout the length of our value chain, from the sourcing of raw material to the responsible recycling of products. We recognize that this commitment is a journey and one that we cannot take on our own. This challengeis exacerbated giventhe complexity ofoursupply chain, which is, in essence,in aconstantstate offlux. As a result, we will continue to focus our efforts on collaborating across industries to improve the systems of transparency and control in our supply chain. We will also continue our engagement with relevant suppliers to build their knowledge, so they are able to provide more complete and accurate information on the source of conflict minerals in our ExB supply chain and, furthermore, to impress upon them our expectation that they also apply the OECD Guidance in good faith.

AttachmentA

Many of the CMRT responses we received from relevant suppliers provided data at a company level, meaning they providedthenamesofsmeltersandrefinerstheybelievesupplied 3TGforalltheproductstheyproduced,notjust the products they produced for Best Buy. Therefore, the processing facilities listed in the table below represent the smelters and refiners provided by our suppliers, but we do not have sufficient information to confirm whether these are the actual smelters that processed necessary 3TG used in our products. Additionally, we are unable to conclusively determine the country of origin information for our necessary 3TG but based on the data gathered from suppliers, processing facilities, public information and RMI, we believe that the sources mayinclude the countries listed in the table below.
