Exhibit 1.01

Echelon Corporation

Conflict Minerals Report

For The Year Ended December 31, 2016

This Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) for Echelon Corporation (the “Company”, “Echelon”, “our” or “we”) covers the reporting period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, and is presented in accordance with Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”).

This Report is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to the Company’s Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (the “Form”). A copy of this Report and the Form are publicly available at http://www.echelon.com/company/investor/corpgov/.

We use the term “conflict free” in this Report in a broader sense to refer to suppliers, supply chains, smelters and refiners whose sources of conflict minerals did not or do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. For purposes of this Report, the term “conflict minerals” means columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten. Numerous terms in this Report are defined in the Rule and the reader is referred to that source and to SEC Release No. 34-67716 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 22, 2012 for such definitions.

Introduction

In 2010, the United States enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”). Pursuant to Section 1502 of the Act, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) promulgated regulations requiring companies covered under the Act annually to file a Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD with the SEC to disclose whether certain specified conflict minerals (as described below) used in their products directly or indirectly benefitted armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries (collectively, the “Covered Countries”). This Report, which is an exhibit to the Form, describes the design of Echelon’s conflict minerals due diligence measures and provides an account of how these measures were implemented in 2016 to determine, to our knowledge, the source mines, the country of origin and the facilities used to process the conflict minerals used in our products. A description of our products covered by this Report is described under “Part 2: Product Determination” of this Report below.

Part 1: Due Diligence

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Process

In accordance with Rule 13p-1 and Form SD, Echelon determined that conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of our products, and undertook a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) with respect conflict minerals reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries.

Due Diligence Process

In conducting our RCOI, Echelon employed a combination of measures to determine whether the conflict minerals in our products originated from the Covered Countries, and determined that the Company would survey direct suppliers that represented an aggregate of at least 85% of sales revenue generated from our products that contain or may be manufactured using conflict minerals. Echelon employed the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC) - Global eSustainability Initiative (“GeSI”) Extractives industry tools to collect due diligence information on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals.

To maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of our efforts to identify smelters and refiners in our supply chain, as a standardized protocol, we, along with other participants in the electronics industry, rely on the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”)’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) or equivalent industry-wide program for audits of smelters and/or refiners. The CFSP is a voluntary initiative in which an independent third party audits smelter procurement and processing activities and determines if the smelter has provided sufficient documentation to demonstrate with reasonable confidence that the minerals it processed originated from conflict-free sources.

In addition, we designed our due diligence to conform, in all relevant material respects given our position in the supply chain, to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply

Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “Framework”) as it pertains to downstream companies. We believe the Framework is an internationally recognized due diligence framework and meets the requirements of the Rule.

Establishment of a Management System.

Echelon established a management system for addressing the sourcing of conflict minerals in our products, and implemented a conflict minerals governance structure that includes executive sponsors and a cross-functional team comprised of individuals from our Operations, Finance, Accounting, Sales and Legal departments.

http://www.echelon.com/assets/blt154f5ba824af808e/Echelon Conflict Minerals Policy Statement - FINAL 10-18-13-1.pdf

Echelon has a worldwide whistleblower policy and hotline, and we accept and encourage reporting of illegal or unethical activity. We believe that our whistleblower hotline is an appropriate mechanism for our employees and employees of our suppliers to report known or suspected false information concerning conflict minerals in our supply chain.

Identification and Assessment of Risks in the Supply Chain

In 2016, and again in 2017, Echelon selected and surveyed five first-tier direct suppliers, representing an aggregate of over 85% of our sales revenue generated from products containing or produced using conflict minerals. Echelon provided the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”) designed by CFSI to all such suppliers in order to gather information about their use of conflict minerals, their mineral sourcing practices and the smelters and refiners in their supply chain. We elected to use the CMRT as we believe that it is a commonly used reporting template used in numerous industries, thereby easing the potential for confusion or misunderstanding by our suppliers and helping to foster even more widespread adoption of the CMRT.

Echelon utilizes contract manufacturers to produce semiconductors, modules, and electronic systems.

Given our position in the supply chain, we relied heavily on our first-tier suppliers to provide information about the sources of conflict minerals used in our products. Upon receipt of responses to our CMRT request, we reviewed our suppliers’ responses for completeness, reasonableness, and acceptability in order to validate the smelters and refiners listed on the provided CMRTs.

Based on the data collected, the main risks that we have identified aresuppliers providing incomplete or inconsistent responses in the CMRT, and suppliers providing the names of smelters or refiners that are unrecognized by CFSI or not certified by CFSP. As of the date of this Report, we have not identified a supplier, smelter or refiner which we have reason to believe may be sourcing conflict minerals from a Covered Country that, directly or indirectly, finances or benefits armed groups. However, given the uncertainty in the provenance of materials from a variety of smelters that may be present in materials used by our suppliers, we are unable to determine with certainty whether or not any minerals used in our products are so sourced.

Conducting Independent Audits of Supply Chain Due Diligence

Echelon does not have a direct relationship with any smelters or refiners in our supply chain and, as a result, we do not directly conduct audits. Instead, Echelon identified conflict-free smelters and refiners reported from our first-tier direct suppliers by confirming with the published list from third party audits (CFSP).

The supply chain that produces components used in Echelon’s products utilizes recycled and new materials for which the provenance is not documented or reported. Unfortunately, as a result, establishing provenance for all sources of conflict minerals used in our products is not feasible at this time.

Part 2: Product Determination

Products

During the reporting period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, we identified the following products that may contain conflict minerals that Echelon contracted to manufacture:

• Integrated Circuit (IC) and Module Products

• Meter Products

• Control Nodes

• Tools

• Interconnectivity Products

DRC Conflict Status

In 2015 and 2016, we conducted the due diligence process described above for the reporting period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 in order to ascertain source and chain of custody information for the necessary conflict minerals in our supply chain. Based on the subsequent information we gathered, Echelon has determined that (i) certain smelters and refiners in the supply chain that are sources of the necessary conflict minerals for our products have received a “conflict free” designation from CFSP or other third party audit program, and (ii) we are unable to determine the country of origin of conflict minerals and or chain of custody of all necessary conflict minerals procured by all smelters in our supply chain that contributed to our products because, for this reporting period, certain smelter and refiner facilities (1) had not yet received a “conflict free” designation from an independent third party audit program, and (2) did not respond to our requests for country of origin or chain or custody inquiries. As a result, our products are DRC conflict undeterminable.

* Denotes smelters and refiners which have received a "conflict free" designation from an independent third party audit as updated by CFSI. [Source of information: http://www.conflictfreesourcing.org/conflict-free-smelter-refiner-lists/ on 30 November 2016.]

Efforts to Determine Mine Location

Echelon has very limited engagement with the majority of parties beyond our first-tier direct suppliers in our supply chain. Consequently, identifying, with certainty, the smelters, refiners and recyclers and the source of the conflict minerals they process is an extraordinary challenge. In 2016, the primary focus of our due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals in our supply chain was on the collection and assessment of the data gathered, consolidated and provided by our direct first-tier suppliers. As a downstream supplier, we base our due diligence program on current industry guidance and practices for implementing the Framework, Echelon’s primary means of determining mine location is through the CFSP audits, industry lists and reports that we expect to gather through our participation in the various organizations identified above.

Future Steps

We recognize that this is a complicated process given the complexity of our supply chain, and that Echelon has very limited engagement with the majority of our supply chain beyond our first-tier direct suppliers. As a result, in 2017, we expect to continue to focus our efforts on collaborating with our first tier direct suppliers to improve the systems of transparency and control in our supply chain, including through our use of CMRT in connection with our diligence of our supply chain.
