## Exhibit 1.01

CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF SOLVENTUM CORPORATION

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

**1. Introduction.**

This Conflict Minerals Report (this "Report") for Solventum Corporation ("Solventum," the "Company," "we," or "our") is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Conflict Minerals Rule") for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2025.

"Conflict Minerals" are defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite and gold, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (collectively "3TG"). As used in this Report, the "Covered Countries" mean the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

**2. Company Overview.**

***Solventum's Business***

Solventum is a leading global healthcare company with a long legacy of creating breakthrough solutions for our customers' toughest challenges. We pioneer game-changing innovations at the intersection of health, material and data science that change patients' lives for the better — while empowering healthcare professionals to perform at their best. Solventum spun off from 3M Company ("3M") on April 1, 2024. At the end of the calendar year 2025, Solventum had approximately 20,000 employees. In September 2025, Solventum completed the sale of our Purification & Filtration ("P&F") business to Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. The data presented in this statement includes P&F operations. Additionally, in December 2025, Solventum completed the acquisition of Acera Surgical ("Acera"), further strengthening our portfolio and advancing the company's strategic growth initiatives. Pursuant to Instruction 3 to Item 1.01 of Form SD, Solventum has excluded the results of Acera from its reasonable country of origin inquiry and subsequent due diligence for the reporting period ended December 31, 2025. Solventum plans to integrate Acera into its supply chain compliance program and will include products manufactured by Acera in its future conflict minerals disclosures when it is required to do so by the Form SD instructions. The data presented in this report excludes Acera. All references are to the 2025 calendar year unless otherwise stated.

***Solventum's In-Scope Products***

Solventum's product experts globally identified products that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture that may contain 3TG necessary to the functionality or production of such products ("Necessary 3TG"). Solventum reviewed certain products and their supply chains, considering factors like 3TG content, the type of mineral, spend, supply chain nature, and supplier available information.

Through this product screening process, Solventum's product experts determined, to the best of their knowledge, that the following product categories may contain Necessary 3TG:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• electrical connectors, cables and cords, electronic chargers, controls, monitors and plated circuitry and products that include these and other electrical or electronic components;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• metallized films;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• mechanical stethoscopes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sterilizers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• orthodontic products.

Necessary 3TG's, if present in Solventum's products, would be recognized only at trace levels. Product scoping relies on information available at the time of assessment, including supplier disclosures, and may be refined as additional and more detailed supply chain information becomes available.

------

***Solventum's Supply Chains***

Solventum's supply chains are complex, including thousands of suppliers spread over different tiers in those chains. Supplied materials are used in products serving numerous industry sectors. Solventum does not directly source or purchase 3TG from the smelters or refiners ("SORs") and is typically several tiers removed from any SOR that would have information on mines or locations of origin of our Necessary 3TG. Therefore, Solventum must rely on its first-tier suppliers and sub-tier suppliers to provide Solventum with accurate information about the origins of the Necessary 3TG in components and materials supplied to Solventum in their respective supply chains. As a downstream company, the completeness and specificity of such information depends on supplier traceability capabilities and disclosure practices, which may vary across the supply chain.

***Solventum's Responsible Minerals Policy Statement***

Solventum is committed to responsible sourcing of 3TG using the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the "OECD Guidance"), so as not to support conflict or human rights abuses in the Covered Countries or other Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, while avoiding de facto embargoes. Solventum established and published a Responsible Minerals Policy Statement available for all suppliers on our website: https://www.solventum.com/en-us/home/our-company/partners-suppliers/.

***Solventum's Participation in Cross-Industry Efforts***

Solventum is a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI"). RMI has helped develop standards, best practices, and tools to end the association between 3TG and conflict in the Covered Countries. Additionally, this broad-based initiative develops control systems for SORs through independently validated audits under RMI's Responsible Minerals Assurance Process ("RMAP"). RMI engages with a wide variety of organizations to discuss emerging issues, best practices, and work on addressing shared challenges across the supply chain.

**3. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry.**

***RCOI Elements***

As required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, Solventum conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") to determine whether any of the Necessary 3TG may have originated in the Covered Countries and not from recycled or scrap sources. Solventum's RCOI consisted of identifying in-scope suppliers, collecting supplier data, and assessing this data to determine the source of the Necessary 3TG.

***Data Collection, Review and Results***

Solventum requested that in-scope suppliers provide information about Necessary 3TG in components or materials supplied to Solventum using the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the "CMRT"). Solventum reviewed the supplier responses from these inquiries.

Solventum received responses from 86% of in-scope suppliers, and, based on these responses, Solventum compiled a list of 340 verified, unique SORs that may be in our supply chain. Country of origin information for these SORs was then verified using information from the RMI and other recognized third-party audit programs e.g. London Bullion Market Association ("LBMA") and the Responsible Jewellery Council ("RJC"). Most suppliers provided company level data to Solventum, meaning that the CMRTs provided a list of all SORs that are used somewhere in their supply chain, and they did not confirm which SORs are used for components or materials actually supplied to Solventum. For the remaining suppliers, Solventum was unable to obtain complete CMRT responses within the reporting period despite follow-up efforts, which limits Solventum's visibility into those portions of the supply chain.

***Results of RCOI***

Based on information reasonably available to Solventum through its RCOI, Solventum has reason to believe that a portion of the Necessary 3TG may have originated in the Covered Countries and that the Necessary 3TG may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, Solventum conducted further due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Necessary 3TG, as further described below.

------

**4. Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Program.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.Design of Solventum's Due Diligence Measures.**

Solventum's Conflict Minerals due diligence management system has been designed to conform, in all material respects, with the internationally recognized due diligence framework of the OECD Guidance, as applicable for 3TG and "downstream companies" (as defined in the OECD Guidance).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.Due Diligence Measures Undertaken.**

Solventum performed the due diligence set forth according to the OECD's five-step framework as described below:

<u>Step 1. Establish Strong Company Management Systems</u>.

***Responsible Minerals (Conflict Minerals) Policy Statement***

Solventum has established and published a Responsible Minerals Policy Statement available for all suppliers on our website: https://www.solventum.com/en-us/home/our-company/partners-suppliers/. This policy and position are also consistent with Solventum's Human Rights Policy (https://s7d9.scene7.com/is/content/mmmspinco/human-rights-policypdf); Solventum's respect for human rights within our own operations and our supply chains; and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Solventum is aligned with The Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact. The Solventum Responsible Minerals Policy Statement forms the basis for Solventum's responsible minerals program. Solventum's global suppliers are expected to source minerals directly or indirectly from SORs that are validated to be conformant by independent third-party audit programs such as RMAP or other recognized third-party audit programs and to extend these requirements and expectations to their entire supply chain.

If a supplier does not meet Solventum's requirements, a cross-functional team considers alternative actions to evaluate and resolve the situation, which may include terminating the business relationship.

***Responsible Minerals Management Structure***

Solventum has established a management structure to support the effective and efficient execution of our responsible minerals program. Solventum's management team includes an executive sponsor: Solventum's Chief Procurement Officer, Global Procurement. In addition, Solventum has designated a cross-functional Responsible Minerals Steering Team composed of representatives from Sustainability, Product Stewardship, Legal Affairs and Procurement. The Steering Team has responsibility for developing and implementing Solventum's policy and compliance strategy, as well as reviewing the progress and effectiveness of the program, and identifying risks and opportunities for improvement within the program.

***Control System and Supply Chain Transparency***

Solventum relies on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the Necessary 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to Solventum, including sources of Necessary 3TG that are supplied to them from their own lower-tier suppliers. Solventum's requirements related to 3TG in relevant global contract templates and U.S. purchase order terms and conditions require suppliers to comply with applicable laws and our policies on responsible minerals sourcing. This includes participation in a supply chain survey and related due diligence activities, and the provision, upon request, of information on SORs in relevant supply chains and other information Solventum might require.

Solventum is a member of RMI, which provides strong industry collaboration and greater visibility to supply chain risks. Solventum also encouraged suppliers and SORs to participate in RMI. In addition, Solventum encouraged SORs identified in Solventum's supply chain, but non-conformant to RMAP, to enroll and participate in RMAP.

***Supplier Engagement***

Solventum's Supplier Responsibility Code ("SRC") applies to all suppliers and outlines Solventum's foundational expectations related to labor, ethics, environment, health and safety, as well as management systems. The SRC is

------

based on industry and internationally accepted principles, such as The Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact and the OECD Guidance.

Solventum's expectations and requirements relating to responsible sourcing and due diligence described above are communicated to Solventum's relevant suppliers through annual outreach and in applicable global contract templates and purchase order terms and conditions.<br>

***Grievance Mechanism***

Solventum has a grievance mechanism whereby employees and suppliers can report concerns regarding Solventum's business conduct and other matters at SolventumEthics.com. Solventum also has procedures in place for follow-up in the event issues are raised through our grievance mechanism relating to responsible sourcing practices. SORs and other external stakeholders may also use RMI's Grievance and Complaints Mechanism. The RMI Grievance and Complaints Mechanism allows stakeholders to raise concerns about the RMI RMAP audit process, protocols, and SOR operations that fall within the scope of the RMAP, audit quality, auditor competencies, mineral supply chains and upstream/downstream initiatives, as well as mineral sourcing activities and due diligence of RMI member companies.

***Maintain Records***

Solventum has implemented a record retention policy applicable to 3TG-related documentation that provides retention for a minimum of five years, in accordance with the OECD Guidance.

<u>Step 2. Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain</u>.

To identify and assess risks in the supply chain, Solventum engaged with our in-scope suppliers by sending survey emails notifying the suppliers that Solventum is subject to the Conflict Minerals Rule and requesting their cooperation in gathering information on the source and chain of custody of Necessary 3TG in components and materials supplied to Solventum. In-scope suppliers were asked to complete a CMRT and provide information on the SORs that processed the Necessary 3TG in components and materials supplied to Solventum. Several follow-up reminders were sent to suppliers that did not respond to the information requests and escalation emails involved the applicable Solventum Procurement team. The CMRT reporting templates, Solventum and RMI links, practical tips and best practices were provided to the in-scope suppliers as part of this outreach process and training was offered on the importance of the information requested and how to submit the CMRT.

Solventum validated all submitted CMRTs to ensure completeness and accuracy and retained them for recordkeeping purposes. Solventum engaged with the in-scope suppliers to resolve inconsistent or incomplete responses and sent the applicable supplier an email outlining any issues with the CMRT to collect further information. However, Solventum does not independently verify supplier representations regarding sub-tier sourcing and must rely on the accuracy of supplier-provided data.

Solventum received and reviewed in-scope supplier responses by comparing the SORs identified in the supplier's CMRT survey response to the RMI's list of SORs that conform to the RMAP or other recognized third-party audit programs. Solventum also referred to other sources of information, including publications of the LBMA and the RJC to validate and assess potential risks. Country of origin information was verified using information from the RMI and other recognized third-party audit programs. Solventum identified potential risks such as in-scope suppliers that supply Solventum with components or materials containing Necessary 3TG that had unknown sourcing or that may have been processed by SORs that have not been validated as conformant, were under investigation, or were not participating in audits by RMAP or other recognized third-party audit programs (such SORs "SORs of Interest").

<u>Step 3. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks</u>.

Solventum has implemented a strategy to respond to identified potential risks in our supply chain. For suppliers that identified SORs of Interest in their supply chain, Solventum requested additional information and/or additional 3TG due diligence procedures and processes. In addition, Solventum provided direct suppliers with SORs of Interest in their supply chain with a link to educational courses on SOR risk mitigation. Solventum has sent letters to those

------

SORs of Interest that are not currently engaged in an assurance program encouraging them to participate. Solventum also encouraged our suppliers to reach out to those SORs of Interest and encourage their participation.

Direct suppliers identifying specific SORs of Interest on their CMRT were contacted, according to the OECD Guidance, to assess potential risks and evaluate connections to Solventum's products, and sent feedback reminding them of their obligation to comply with Solventum's Responsible Minerals Policy Statement and to take reasonable, good-faith efforts to source 3TG from validated SORs, including by supporting the participation of non-conformant SORs in recognized third-party audit programs or transitioning away from such SORs where risks cannot be adequately mitigated. These suppliers will also be asked to complete a product-level CMRT specific to the components or materials supplied to Solventum, rather than a company-level CMRT, to better identify the connection of the SORs of Interest to Solventum's products. At present, product-level CMRT availability remains limited, and most supplier responses continue to be provided at a company-wide level. Other SORs were internally evaluated to determine if they were still active; inactive SORs were removed from the scope of data collection. In the case of ongoing sourcing from these SORs of Interest, in-scope suppliers will be requested to either support their participation in an RMAP audit (or other approved third-party audit) or to phase them out of their supply chain. Risk assessment findings and due diligence activities will be reported to senior management. A supplier's failure to take corrective action may lead to additional actions, including the reassessment of the supplier relationship.

<u>Step 4. Carry out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain</u>.

Solventum is a downstream company and many tiers removed from the SORs that provide Necessary 3TG. Solventum does not perform direct audits of SORs within our supply chain and relies on independent third-party audit programs, such as the RMI, to conduct SOR due diligence.

In accordance with guidance issued by the SEC on April 29, 2014, Solventum is not required to submit, and is not submitting, an audit report of this Report prepared by an independent private sector auditor.

<u>Step 5. Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence</u>.

Solventum files Form SD and a Conflict Minerals Report annually with the SEC. These reports are publicly available within the Solventum website (https://investors.solventum.com/financials/sec-filings). The reference to Solventum's website is provided for convenience only, and its contents are neither incorporated by reference into this Report and Form SD nor deemed filed with the SEC.

**5. Due Diligence Results.**

Solventum received a response rate of 86% from our in-scope suppliers contacted as a result of our outreach efforts.

Solventum verified 340 unique SORs identified by in-scope suppliers as in their respective supply chains that appear on the RMI-maintained SOR lists. Of these 340 SORs, 213 (62%) are validated as conformant through the RMAP process, and 7 (2%) are reported as active by RMI, meaning they are engaged in the RMAP program but not yet conformant. These numbers do not include SORs that were identified by in-scope suppliers but that are actually inactive.

For any SORs identified that are not yet engaged in the RMAP program or validated by other third-party programs and that may source from the Covered Countries, Solventum conducted further due diligence to confirm whether these SORs processed Necessary 3TG used in our products. Solventum reviewed various sources, including RMI data, news articles, NGO reports, and industry information, to assess the risk of SORs sourcing from the Covered Countries or contributing to conflict.

The majority of our suppliers source 3TG from a variety of upstream sources and provided information to Solventum on an aggregated, company-wide level, rather than a product level. Due to the nature of these materials, we understand that these suppliers were unable to trace the 3TG that they source into components or materials

------

provided to any particular customer (including Solventum). Solventum therefore cannot be sure whether any of the SORs identified by the in-scope suppliers provided 3TG that was included in any components or materials actually supplied to us. Accordingly, the SOR list compiled by us from responses from our in-scope suppliers represents a consolidated view of potential upstream sources rather than a definitive inventory of SORs used in Solventum products.

***Continuous Improvement***

Since the spin-off from 3M on April 1, 2024, Solventum has taken, or intends to take, the following steps, among others, to mature and improve the responsible minerals program, including our due diligence efforts to further mitigate risk that the Necessary 3TG used in our products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Refining product and supplier scoping processes by strengthening cross-functional coordination between Product Stewardship, Procurement, and Legal to improve the completeness and consistency of in-scope product and supplier identification over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increasing supplier response rates and data quality through continued supplier engagement, targeted follow-ups with non-responsive suppliers, and enhanced guidance to suppliers on CMRT expectations, including the importance of timely and accurate submissions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expanding the collection of product-level CMRT information, where feasible, to better associate identified SORs with specific components and materials supplied to Solventum, recognizing that many suppliers currently provide data only at a company-wide level.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Supporting industry-led assurance efforts by encouraging non-validated SORs identified in supplier disclosures to participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process or other recognized third-party audit programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintaining ongoing collaboration with industry and subject-matter experts, including participation in RMI-related initiatives, webinars, and working groups, to stay aligned with emerging best practices and evolving regulatory expectations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Periodically reviewing and updating internal procedures and controls related to conflict minerals due diligence to reflect lessons learned from prior reporting cycles and changes in Solventum's business, supplier base, or regulatory landscape.
