Exhibit 1.01

CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT

May 16, 2025

Section I: Introduction

This report has been prepared by Deere & Company to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“SEC Rule”). References to internet websites herein are provided only as required by the SEC Rule and information available through these websites is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD. As used herein, the terms “John Deere,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company” refer collectively to Deere & Company and its subsidiaries, unless designated or identified otherwise. For the period from January 1 to December 31, 2024 (“Reporting Period”), certain components and parts of John Deere’s equipment products contained columbite-tantalite (coltan) (or its derivative tantalum), gold, wolframite (or its derivative tungsten), and/or cassiterite (or its derivative tin) (collectively, “conflict minerals”) necessary to the production or functionality of such equipment.

In 2024, we identified our suppliers that had potential to sell to the Company conflict minerals or products that could contain conflict minerals and asked these suppliers to identify the sources of the conflict minerals and products containing conflict minerals that they supply to us. The responses were reviewed by us for completeness and consistency of answers. We requested suppliers to provide corrections and clarifications to their submissions where needed.

Section II: Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”)

In accordance with the SEC Rule, we implemented a RCOI to determine whether any conflict minerals necessary to the production or functionality of our products (“In-Scope Components”) originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (“Covered Countries”) or have not come from recycled or scrap sources.

Our products are complex and typically contain thousands of parts from many direct suppliers. Due to the depth of the supply chain, we are far removed from the sources of ore or unrefined conflict minerals and the smelters/refiners that process them for use in our In-Scope Components. The amount of information available globally on the traceability and sourcing of these ores is limited and we rely on our direct suppliers to assist with our RCOI and due diligence efforts to identify the smelters and refiners in its supply chain.

We used the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) for our supplier survey, which is the current industry standard for collecting conflict minerals RCOI data from upstream companies. The template includes questions regarding a direct supplier’s Conflict Minerals Policy and its due diligence process, and requests information about its supply chain such as names and locations of smelters and refiners as well as the conflict minerals processed by such smelters and refiners. We used the CMRT to obtain information regarding the smelters and refiners that provided materials to our supply chain.

We conducted a good faith RCOI to determine whether conflict minerals found in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries and did not come from recycled or scrap source. For 2024, we received responses from more than 80% of our surveyed suppliers equaling 386 responses total. The surveyed suppliers represented approximately 79% of the purchases (by volume) that we made for good from suppliers.

Because the information collection process reflects information collected and accumulated over multiple years by suppliers, the suppliers might report facilities and locations that are not considered smelters, have ceased operations, have changed names, or are otherwise not applicable to the RMI RMAP process. We have cleansed the data to reflect bona fide smelters or refiners that represent our mineral supply chain accurately.

Section III: Product Description

Our equipment operations consist of three of our business segments: production and precision agriculture (PPA), small agriculture and turf (SAT), and construction and forestry (CF). The PPA segment defines, develops, and delivers global equipment and technology solutions for production-scale growers of large grains, small grains, cotton, and sugar. The segment’s main products include large and certain mid-size tractors, combines, cotton pickers and cotton strippers, sugarcane harvesters and loaders, and soil preparation, tillage, seeding, application and crop care equipment. The SAT segment defines, develops, and delivers global equipment and technology solutions for dairy and livestock producers, high-value crop producers, and turf and utility customers. The segment’s primary products include certain mid-size, utility and compact utility tractors, self-propelled forage harvesters, hay and forage equipment, rotary mowers, utility vehicles, as well as riding lawn equipment and commercial, and golf course equipment. The CF segment defines, develops, and

1


delivers a broad range of machines and technology solutions organized along earthmoving, forestry and roadbuilding production systems. The segment’s primary products include backhoe loaders, crawler dozers and loaders, skid-steer loaders, scraper systems, four-wheel-drive loaders and compact track loaders, excavators and compact excavators, equipment used in timber harvesting, road building and road rehabilitation equipment, and articulated dump trucks and motor graders.

As a result of our due diligence procedures, the Company believes the equipment products described contain In-Scope Components.

Section IV: Design of Due Diligence Framework

Pursuant to the SEC Rule, we undertook due diligence efforts on the source and country of origin of conflict minerals in our supply chain. The SEC Rule requires that a registrant’s due diligence follow a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework. Presently, the only nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework available is the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Guidelines”). The OECD Guidelines are a framework for risk-based due diligence for responsible supply chains of conflict minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas that are described in the section below.

We designed our due diligence measures to be in conformity, in all materials respects, with the OECD Guidance.

Section V: Due Diligence Measures Performed

This section describes measures performed by us to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody on the conflict minerals contained in our products.

OECD Step 1 -Establish Strong Company Management System

Conflict Minerals Report

As part of our efforts to comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding conflict minerals, we have adopted a policy (“Conflict Minerals Policy”) providing a common set of principles for the sourcing of conflict minerals. Our Conflict Minerals Policy establishes the principles regarding the responsible sourcing of conflict minerals against which the Company can assess itself and its suppliers. Our Conflict Minerals policy is publicly available on our website at https://about.deere.com/en-us/explore-john-deere/ethics-compliance.

Internal Team

We have established a management system to support our supply chain due diligence related to goods that may contain conflict minerals. This system includes a cross-functional team of subject matter experts from supply management responsible sourcing; energy and product sustainability; electronic solutions; and legal. The team is responsible for implementing the Company’s due diligence procedures.

Control Systems

We do not have a direct relationship with our conflict minerals smelters and refiners; therefore, we rely on suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in the components and materials supplied to us. We are a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) who supports our efforts to ensure smelters are compliant as conflict-free. RMI program initiatives include the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”), which identifies smelters and refiners that source materials in conformance with RMAP, and the CMRT. We use the CMRT in our RCOI and RMAP data and information in our identification and assessment of risks in the supply chain. The control systems that we have in place include but are not limited to proprietary IT systems for risk management throughout the supply chain.  

Supplier Engagement

John Deere's Supplier Code of Conduct outlines expectations for suppliers regarding ethical business practices, including the sourcing of conflict minerals. Suppliers are required to adhere to these standards and ensure their own supply chains abide to John Deere’s Conflict Minerals Policy.

Conflict Minerals information requests are processed through John Deere’s proprietary IT systems that enable a consistent platform for direct supplier engagement and reporting.

2


Grievance Mechanism

John Deere has a structured grievance mechanism for addressing Conflict Minerals concerns consisting of two reporting channels:  a Compliance Hotline available for employees and business partners to report concerns anonymously and an email contact intended for general questions from employees and suppliers about conflict minerals, the John Deere Supply Management Compliance Organization at 90SMCompliance@JohnDeere.com.

OECD Step 2 - Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

Due to the complexity of our global supply chain and the numerous suppliers, products, parts, and components, a process was developed to assess and remove parts not containing conflict minerals from the inquiry. The RCOI involves three main surveys:

Equipment Survey: Selects suppliers based on parts volume, covering high (80%), mid (15%), and low (5%) volume groups. Surveys randomly select In-Scope Suppliers and rank them based on the total volume provided.
Electronics Survey: Focuses on electronic components, covering 100% of high-volume (98%) and 15% of low-volume (2%) suppliers. These groups are surveyed based on the volume and predominance of In-Scope Components in electronic parts.
All-Makes Survey: Similar to the Equipment Survey, it covers a mix of suppliers based on volume, ensuring a comprehensive overview of all In-Scope Suppliers.

The surveys are designed to ensure a thorough examination of suppliers providing components that could potentially contain conflict minerals.

OECD Step 3- Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

We have a strategy to address risks in our supply chain. Our supply management leaders monitor any issues found during the conflict minerals compliance process, including potential risks and red flags. The executive officer signing the Company’s Form SD is updated on our conflict minerals process, survey results, due diligence activities, and any potential risks and red flags.

Suppliers are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct that requires, among other things, all suppliers to exercise due diligence, in accordance with the OECD Guidelines, on its entire supply chain with respect to the sourcing of all conflict minerals to determine whether those metals are from the Covered Countries. Suppliers with non-compliant smelters are asked to confirm if these smelters are in our supply chain. If so, they must either stop using these smelters or ensure they become compliant.

Suppliers who do not respond to the conflict minerals survey (and represent over 0.02% of total volume) are required to complete it the following year. Persistent non-responders are marked as high risk in our Supply Chain Risk Management system and must take corrective actions or face potential termination of our business relationship.

OECD Step 4- Carry out Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

We support audits of conflict minerals smelters and refiners conducted by third parties through our membership in RMI. RMI developed the RMAP, which uses an independent third-party audit to identify smelters and refiners that have management systems and sourcing practices in place to conform with RMAP protocols and global standards.

OECD Step 5 - Report Annually on Supply Chain Diligence

In accordance with the SEC Rule and the OECD Guidelines, this Conflict Minerals Report is available on our website at https://investor.deere.com/governance/ and is filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy is available on our website at https://investor.deere.com/governance/.

Section VI: Due Diligence Results

We reviewed the surveyed supplier responses, including those not provided on the CMRT, to determine whether further engagement was necessary. When reviewing the surveyed supplier responses, we focused on incomplete responses as well as inconsistencies within the data reported by those suppliers.

We rely on our suppliers to provide information on the origin of conflict minerals contained in the material supplied to John Deere. In turn, those suppliers are reliant on the information supplied by their suppliers. Please see Schedule A for the facilities that, based on information provided by our suppliers, process the Covered Minerals in those In-Scope

3


Components. The smelters or refiners listed in Schedule A may have processed the conflict minerals necessary for our products, but we do not have the sufficient information to establish a direct link between our products and the smelters or refiners listed in Schedule A. Please see Schedule B for the country of origin of the Covered Minerals that those suppliers may have used in those In-Scope Components. As described above, these Schedules reflect bona fide smelters or refiners that represent our mineral supply chain more accurately, and do not list facilities and locations that are not considered smelters or refiners, have ceased operations, or have changed names.

Section VII: Efforts to Determine Mine or Country of Origin

Our efforts to determine the origin of mines or country of origin of the conflict minerals in our supply chain include maintaining membership with RMI and supporting RMI efforts for smelter validation and process due diligence. We will continue to implement due diligence measures for its supply base and require applicable suppliers to submit CMRT information.

Section VIII: Steps Taken to Mitigate Risks

Going forward, we intend to take the following steps to continue to improve our due diligence process:

Continue working with RMI to expand the smelters and refiners that are participating in and are compliant with the RMAP process;
Continue to follow up on information and take actions so that the Company and our suppliers engage in ethical business practices and adhere to company policies (including the Company’s Code of Business Conduct, Supplier Code of Conduct, and Conflict Minerals Policy);
Continue requiring direct material suppliers to acknowledge our Supplier Code of Conduct and support the Conflict Minerals process; and
Encourage suppliers that utilize smelters of conflict minerals to assure they are using validated smelters whenever possible.
Benchmark industry to continuously improve the information collection process and accuracy as well as the due diligence measures.

ATTACHMENT A

Smelters and Refiners Reported in John Deere’s Supply Chain for the Reporting Period

The facilities in the table below represent smelters and refiners identified by suppliers providing In-Scope Components. The smelters or refiners listed may have processed conflict minerals used in In-Scope Components, but the Company does not have sufficient information to determine with certainty that is the case. Additionally, the country of origin information is based on data compiled by RMI from its member participants and may be overinclusive. As a result, inclusion of a country in the table does not indicate that the Company actually used conflict minerals sourced from that country.
