(WESCO) presents this disclosure for the year ending December&#160;31, 2017, to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Rule), which requires public companies to disclose the use of conflict minerals and whether they have been sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia (Covered Countries). Conflict Minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (&#8220;conflict minerals&#8221;).</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;padding-top:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Where WESCO discovered conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured by WESCO or contracted to be manufactured by WESCO for the year&#160;2017, WESCO conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) regarding those conflict minerals. The investigation was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;padding-top:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Based on that RCOI, WESCO was unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals.

Company Overview </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">WESCO is a North American-based distributor of products and provider of advanced supply chain management and logistics services used in industrial, construction, utility and commercial, institutional and government markets.  WESCO&#8217;s primary distribution product categories include general electrical and industrial supplies, wire, cable and conduit, data and broadband communication, power distribution equipment, lighting and lighting control systems, control and automation, and motors.  In its primary role as a distributor, WESCO is not manufacturing or contracting to manufacture, and is therefore not subject to the conflict minerals rule.  However, in a very small portion of its business, WESCO is manufacturing or contracting to manufacture within the scope of the conflict minerals rule.  The following represent product categories where WESCO is manufacturing or contracting to manufacture: enclosures, machined cable assemblies, grounding grids, pole line hardware, light fixtures and audio visual equipment.  The direct suppliers supporting the production of these product categories were included in the due diligence process detailed within the CMR.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">1.1.a  Supply Chain </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">WESCO relied on its suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in the relevant components and materials supplied to WESCO.  In its efforts to comply with the disclosure requirements and obtain the accurate data from its suppliers, WESCO contacted suppliers who manufactured or contracted to manufacture products where the nature of the product supplied to WESCO was considered to be reasonably likely to contain conflict minerals.  In addition to providing WESCO the requisite data for its SEC reporting, the data collected is further analyzed by WESCO to determine the origin of conflict minerals in WESCO&#8217;s supply chain and WESCO&#8217;s path moving forward with regard to conflict-free sourcing.  As WESCO enters into new contracts with suppliers, WESCO includes language requiring suppliers to provide WESCO information regarding the origin of any conflict minerals and related smelters.  In addition, WESCO includes similar requirements in its standard terms and conditions of purchase.  Over time, these contractual measures are intended to improve consistency and transparency in WESCO&#8217;s supply chain.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">WESCO is typically many tiers downstream in the supply chain from the source of the raw minerals.  Based on the responses from its suppliers, WESCO was unable to determine the origin of the conflict minerals in its manufactured or contracted to manufacture products, and, in some cases, whether they even contain conflict minerals.  Therefore, WESCO cannot exclude the possibility that some may have originated in the Covered Countries.  For the products that WESCO is manufacturing or contracting to manufacture and which are subject to the reporting obligations of Rule 13p-1, WESCO was unable to determine the origin of the conflict minerals they may contain and/or to determine whether they come </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">1</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">from recycled or scrap sources; the facilities used to process them; their country of origin; or their mine or location of origin.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Therefore, for reporting year 2017, WESCO is submitting this Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) as Exhibit 1.01 to Form SD.

Assent Compliance requested suppliers to complete a CMRT and included training and education to guide suppliers on best practices and the use of this template. Assent Compliance monitored and tracked all communications in the Assent Compliance Manager (ACM) platform for reporting and transparency. WESCO contacted suppliers that were unresponsive to Assent Compliance&#8217;s communications during the diligence process and requested such suppliers to complete the CMRT and submit such template to Assent Compliance. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">2.1.a  Collecting Data to Trace Conflict Minerals in WESCO&#8217;s Supply Chain </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">WESCO has adopted the CMRT in collecting its supplier data, and WESCO has contacted suppliers of products WESCO manufactured or contracted to manufacture via Assent Compliance.    Non-responsive suppliers or suppliers who provided incomplete or invalid responses were contacted on multiple occasions in an effort to obtain accurate data collection for the reporting period.

Some of the responses received provided data at a company or divisional level disclosure and were unable to specify the smelters or refiners used for components supplied to WESCO.  In addition, some suppliers did not respond or refused to do so, despite repeated requests.  WESCO is therefore unable to determine whether any of the conflict minerals reported by those suppliers were contained in components or parts supplied to WESCO or to validate that any of these smelters or refiners are actually in WESCO&#8217;s supply chain.

Therefore, WESCO is not able to include smelter names in this report.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">4.
