CERNER CORPORATION

Conflict Minerals Report
For the reporting period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015

This Conflict Minerals Report (this "Report") of Cerner Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company") has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the "Rule") promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products, and “Conflict Minerals” originating in the “Covered Countries” are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals, which we collectively refer to in this Report as the "Conflict Minerals," are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The "Covered Countries" for the purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

The process of determining whether the Rule applies to a particular registrant is highly complex and involves many subjective determinations that are necessarily dependent upon the particular facts and circumstances of the registrant's business and products. For instance, under applicable SEC guidance, the determination as to whether a registrant has "contracted to manufacture a product" depends upon the degree of influence of the registrant over the manufacturing of the product, the analysis of which is necessarily subjective in nature. Similarly, SEC guidance directs registrants to make a facts-and-circumstances determination as to whether a Conflict Mineral is "necessary to the functionality or production of a product." The Company has conducted a good faith and reasonable analysis as to the application of the Rule to the Company's business and products based upon available SEC guidance. As a result of this analysis, the Company has determined that certain of its operations described below may be deemed to manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products that are believed to contain Conflict Minerals that may be necessary to the functionality or production of those products for purposes of the Rule. The Company's determinations with respect to the products described in this Report for the reporting period covered hereby, or for future Company products, may change in subsequent reporting periods as a result of changes in the facts and circumstances of the Company's business or products, future SEC guidance interpreting the application of the Rule or evolving consensus or industry standards regarding the interpretation and implementation of the Rule.

Description of the Company's Products Covered by this Report

This Report relates to products: (i) for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of that product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company; and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2015.

These products, which are referred to in this Report collectively as the "Covered Products," are the following:

RxStation® is an automated dispensing cabinet for medications in a hospital setting. The Company contracts with a third party to manufacture the RxStation, which is designed specifically for the Company.

Connectivity engines that are utilized to enable medical device connectivity. The designs are third party designs that include a custom plastic enclosure and additional USB ports, which are manufactured specifically for the Company.

Custom device adaptors that are contracted to be manufactured by third parties for various applications.




Exhibit 1.01

Various robotic devices that automate clinical laboratories (i.e. open automation track systems) and move samples through the laboratory. The Company designs the open automation tracks and assembles generic component parts to form the open automation track systems as part of its Cerner Labotix business.

The Company's Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence Process

The Company has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the Conflict Minerals used in the products it may be deemed to manufacture or contract to manufacture under the Rule. The good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether any of such Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any such Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. The Company also exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals to the extent such information was available. The Company's due diligence measures were designed to conform to the framework in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the "OECD Guidance").

The Company has adopted a policy relating to Conflict Minerals (the "Policy"), which is publicly available on the Company's website. The Policy states that the Company supports efforts to end the human suffering and environmental impact associated with mining in the Covered Countries and is committed to meeting the legislative and regulatory requirements that seek to eradicate this suffering. In addition, the Company supports greater transparency with regard to the supply chain and expects its suppliers to use their best efforts to source Conflict Minerals only from sources that are identified as DRC Conflict Free and refrain from supplying us with products or other materials that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. The term DRC Conflict Free, as defined in the Rule, encompasses products that do not contain Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. We expect our suppliers to, among other things, implement and communicate policies that are consistent with our policy and provide timely and accurate information regarding the source of Conflict Minerals in the supply chain and the steps that have been taken to determine whether such products and materials are DRC Conflict Free.

The supply chain with respect to the Covered Products is complex, and there are many third parties between the ultimate manufacturers of the Covered Products and the original sources of Conflict Minerals. In this regard, the Company does not purchase Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners. It must therefore rely on its suppliers and the suppliers to third parties with which it may be deemed to contract to manufacture a product to provide information regarding the origin of Conflict Minerals that are included in Covered Products. Moreover, the Company believes that the smelters and refiners of the Conflict Minerals are best situated to identify the sources of Conflict Minerals, and therefore has taken the steps described below to identify the applicable smelters and refiners of Conflict Minerals in the Company's supply chain.

The purpose of the Company's due diligence is to determine (i) the origin and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products, and (ii) if such Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries, whether such Conflict Minerals financed or benefited armed groups in the Covered Countries.

OECD Guidance suggests structuring internal management systems to support supply chain due diligence. In this regard, the Company identified and engaged appropriate Company personnel that comprised a core team responsible for overseeing and carrying out due diligence procedures with respect to the Rule. The team responsible for the Company's Conflict Minerals compliance is comprised of representatives from Legal, Finance, Purchasing and the Supplier Contracts Team. For purposes of conducting due diligence and determining the applicability of the Rule, the Company has divided its business into two distinct groups: Cerner Labotix and all other Cerner business. As discussed below, additional Company personnel were identified in each of these groups, and members of the core team communicated and coordinated with these personnel for purposes of carrying out the Company's due diligence.

Through its Cerner Labotix business group, the Company automates clinical laboratories by assembling robotic devices that can move samples through the laboratory. While Cerner Labotix does not manufacture or contract to manufacture



Exhibit 1.01

any of the generic component parts that are assembled to form the automated laboratory solution to the end user, based on SEC guidance, the Company has erred on the side of caution and concluded that the Rule may apply to Cerner Labotix because the open laboratory track systems sold to end users are products and the Conflict Minerals contained in the generic electronic components may be deemed necessary to the functionality of the products. To help determine the population of Cerner Labotix products and corresponding component parts, the core team engaged various personnel from the Cerner Labotix group, including customer support and engineering personnel.

All other Covered Products fell within other Cerner business groups and consisted of the RxStation, managed by the Company's RxAware products group, and connectivity engines and custom device adaptors, managed by the Company's DeviceWorks products group. Although these Covered Products are manufactured by third parties, the degree of influence the Company has in designing these products may be sufficient such that the Company would be deemed to have contracted to manufacture these products under the Rule. To help determine the population of other Cerner business products and corresponding component parts, the core team engaged various personnel within other Cerner business groups, including personnel in accounting, operations and development.

OECD Guidance recommends that a company engage with suppliers in its supply chain to make inquiries about the source of Conflict Minerals, as well as the smelters or refiners used to process the Conflict Minerals. In this regard, the Company established a system of controls and transparency over its supply chain to identify the source of Conflict Minerals, as well as strengthened its engagement with suppliers to assist the Company in undertaking its supply chain due diligence, in each case, as discussed below.

Once the core team identified the population of products subject to the Rule, the Company circulated questionnaires and sought to obtain the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative ("CFSI") Conflict Mineral Reporting Template as adopted by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (the "CMRT") from each of the Company’s suppliers associated with the Covered Products. The CMRT was formulated as a part of industry-supported initiatives, which are contemplated methods for establishing a system of supply chain controls and transparency and identifying and responding to risks in the supply chain under the OECD Guidance.

The questionnaires and the CMRTs sought representations indicating the facility at which the suppliers' Conflict Minerals were processed and a demonstration that those conflict minerals came from recycled or scrap sources or did not originate in the Covered Countries. As of the date of this Report, the Company has received responses from approximately 74% of its suppliers associated with the Covered Products. Many suppliers confirmed that, to the best of their knowledge, products supplied to the Company do not contain Conflict Minerals originating in the Covered Countries, or those Conflict Minerals that originated in the Covered Countries originated from facilities that have been certified conflict free by the CFSI. Due to the complexity of the supply chain, certain suppliers indicated that their due diligence procedures were ongoing.

As a part of its supplier engagement, the core team attempted to contact all suppliers through multiple channels and also obtained information pertaining to the Rule from suppliers' websites, where available. When applicable, the Company reviewed the CFSI website for an acceptable listing of conflict-free certified smelters and processing facilities to confirm the absence of any "red flags" regarding the representations provided by the Company's suppliers. The CFSI certification process is an industry-supported initiative for compliance with supply chain due diligence, which are contemplated methods for identifying and responding to risks in the supply chain and auditing the due diligence practices of smelter and refiners under the OECD Guidance.

Based on the information that was provided by the Company's suppliers and otherwise obtained through the due diligence process, the Company believes that, to the extent reasonably determinable by the Company, the facilities that were used to process the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products included the smelters and refiners listed in the table below. Based on the information obtained via its due diligence process, the Company has reasonably determined that countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals include the countries listed in the table below.

Exhibit 1.01

As a part of its supplier engagement and supply chain due diligence efforts, the Company has incorporated a warranty and covenant relating to Conflict Minerals into its supplier contract form agreements. This form of warranty and covenant seeks to obtain (i) an assertion from the supplier that the products it is supplying to the Company are DRC Conflict Free, (ii) a covenant that the supplier will track the chain of custody of any Conflict Minerals, and (iii) the supplier's CMRT. If the supplier cannot give the requested warranty and covenant, and it is reasonably believed at the time of contracting that the supplier will provide the Company an item that will be included in a product the Company manufactures or contracts to manufacture, at a minimum, the Company requires that the supplier deliver a CMRT. To address any risks posed by future acquisitions, the Company added a request for information relating to the use of Conflict Minerals in any products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by any target companies in its standard due diligence request and will also endeavor to include a representation in transaction documents, where appropriate, relating to Conflict Minerals.

Conclusion

The Company is far downstream in the supply chain, and therefore relies on its suppliers to gather the appropriate information relating to the Rule. Tracing the origin and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals throughout a global supply chain is a complex process that can only be accomplished with the cooperation and support of a vast number of industries and public and private stakeholders. The Company believes that its reasonable country of origin inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products originated in the Covered Countries or came from recycled or scrap sources. The Company believes its reasonable country of origin inquiry was performed in good faith and complies with the requirements of the Rule.
