    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><u>Overview</u>:</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><br>
    </div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">This is the Conflict Minerals Disclosure of The Descartes Systems Group Inc. (&#8220;<u>Descartes</u>&#8221; or the &#8220;<u>Company</u>&#8221;) for the calendar year January 1 to December 31, 2019 in accordance with Rule
      13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><br>
    </div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">In accordance with Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (&#8220;<u>Act</u>&#8221;) governing conflict minerals, registrants must determine whether any of the conflict
      minerals (defined by the Act as Tin (Cassiterite), Tungsten (Wolframite), Tantalum (Columbite-Tantalite or Coltan) and Gold (the &#8220;<u>Conflict Minerals</u>&#8221;)) are necessary to the functionality or production of its manufactured products.&#160;&#160;If so, the
      registrant must conduct a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (&#8220;<u>RCOI</u>&#8221;) to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (collectively, &#8220;<u>DRC</u>&#8221;), or are from recycled
      or scrap sources.</div>

    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><br>
    </div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">Descartes provides technology and networks focused on logistics and supply chain management business processes.&#160;&#160;Its solutions are primarily cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions.&#160;&#160;However, the
      Company has manufactured on its behalf blue-tooth enabled asset tracking tags and corresponding blue-tooth enabled readers (&#8220;Tags and Readers&#8221;).&#160;&#160;The Company determined that Conflict Minerals are used in certain components that are used in the
      manufacture of its Tags and Readers, specifically, Gold, Cassiterite, and Tantalum. Sales of the Company&#8217;s Tags and Readers represented less than 0.25% of the Company&#8217;s worldwide revenues for the Company&#8217;s 2020 fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.&#160;</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><br>
    </div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><u>RCOI</u>:</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><br>
    </div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">In accordance with the Act, Descartes conducted an RCOI to determine whether any of its Conflict Minerals originated in the DRC.&#160;&#160;The Company&#8217;s RCOI involved the review of its worldwide supply chain for
      components that contain these Conflict Minerals and the evaluation of the risk that these minerals are sourced from mines controlled by armed groups in the DRC.&#160;&#160;The Company performed this work through a series of RCOIs by contacting suppliers and
      using questionnaires requesting information as to where the Conflict Minerals are sourced.</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">&#160;</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">The Company has approximately 10 suppliers of components that may contain regulated mineral content all of which provided information to the Company regarding the minerals they source.&#160;&#160;The Company
      exercised due diligence over the RCOIs received from its worldwide suppliers.&#160;&#160;It reviewed the responses received for completeness and followed up with suppliers that did not return a completed survey or provide other information.&#160;&#160;The Company also
      reviewed survey responses and other information, which it validated for completeness and sufficiency.&#160;&#160;No supplier informed Descartes, in response to its due diligence inquiries, that the supplier obtained Conflict Minerals from the DRC.&#160;&#160;In
      accordance with the Act, as a result of the information the Company received from its suppliers for calendar year 2019, Descartes was not able to determine with certainty the country of origin of the Conflict Minerals in its manufactured products,
      but does not have reason to believe that its necessary Conflict Minerals may have originated in the DRC.</div>
