Conflict minerals are defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (&#8220;3TG&#8221; or &#8220;conflict minerals&#8221;). Rule 13p-1 imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products (such minerals are referred to as &#8220;necessary conflict minerals&#8221;), excepting conflict minerals that, prior to January 31, 2013, were located &#8220;outside the supply chain&#8221; (as defined by Form SD). For products that contain necessary conflict minerals, the registrant must conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#8220;RCOI&#8221;) designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#8220;DRC&#8221;) or an adjoining country (together with &#8220;DRC&#8221;, collectively defined as the &#8220;Covered Countries&#8221;). If, based on such inquiry, the registrant knows or has reason to believe that any of the necessary conflict minerals contained in its products originated or may have originated in a Covered Country and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources, the registrant must conduct due diligence in order to determine if the necessary conflict minerals contained in those products did or did not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. Terms used in this report which are not defined herein have the meanings set forth in Form SD.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:110%">Section 1.2&#58; Group overview</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:110%">CRH is the leading provider of building materials solutions that build, connect and improve our world.

On 28 February 2022, the Group entered into a binding agreement to divest of our Building Envelope business, one of the strategic product platforms within the Group&#8217;s former Building Products Division. The transaction closed in April 2022. In this context we identified a total of 3 suppliers from whom float glass with trace amounts of tin on the surface in the oxide form was purchased (the &#34;Identified Suppliers&#34;). This float glass, which the Group purchased from suppliers, was used by the Building Envelope business prior to its divestment and was made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal, typically tin. Trace amounts of tin remained on the surface of the float glass in the oxide form. </font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:110%">CRH is committed to responsibly sourcing all its products and raw materials and our objective is to ensure that our direct suppliers are not using 3TG from sources that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="height:72pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div><font><br></font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:72pt;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:right"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%;text-decoration:underline">Exhibit 1.01</font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Conflict Minerals Report of CRH public limited company            </font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934</font></div></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:110%">Section 2&#58; Due diligence framework</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:110%">In accordance with Rule 13p-1, CRH undertook due diligence measures to determine the source and chain of custody of 3TG in its products, as described in this Form SD, that was necessary to the functionality or production of the products.
