      </div>
      <div style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">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, 2022 in accordance
        with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">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;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="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Descartes provides technology and networks focused on logistics and supply chain management business processes.&#160;Its solutions are primarily cloud-based software-as-a-service
          solutions.&#160;However, the Company has manufactured on its behalf by a small number of manufacturers blue-tooth enabled asset tracking tags and corresponding blue-tooth enabled readers (&#8220;<u>Tags and Readers</u>&#8221;).&#160;The Company believes that Conflict
          Minerals may be used in certain components 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 .50% of the Company&#8217;s worldwide revenues for
          the Company&#8217;s 2023 fiscal year ended January 31, 2023.&#160;</div>

        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">In accordance with the Act, Descartes conducted an RCOI to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the DRC.&#160;The Company performed this work by reviewing its worldwide
          supply chain and by contacting its manufacturers and requesting information as to where the Conflict Minerals are sourced.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The Company reviewed the information received for completeness.&#160;Its suppliers did not inform Descartes in response to due diligence inquiries that the suppliers obtained Conflict Minerals
          from the DRC.&#160;In accordance with the Act, as a result of the information the Company received from its suppliers for calendar year 2022, 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>
