Cardinal Health, Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For the 2015 Reporting Period
Introduction
This conflict minerals report has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the reporting period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 (the "2015 reporting period"). References to "Cardinal Health," "we," "our" and similar pronouns in this report refer to Cardinal Health, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.
This report relates to our products that were manufactured or contracted to be manufactured during the 2015 reporting period that contain the "conflict minerals" specified in Rule 13p-1 that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products and that we had reason to believe may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the “covered countries”) and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources. The conflict minerals are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite and their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten.
Products Subject to this Report
The following products (collectively referred to below as "our products") manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by our Medical segment are subject to this report for the 2015 reporting period: radio frequency identification, or RFID, enabled inventory management cabinets and wands, ureteral stone retrieval devices and certain Cordis balloon catheters manufactured or contracted to be manufactured from October 2, 2015 through December 31, 2015. On October 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of the Cordis business from Ethicon, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.
Our supply chains are complex and fragmented. As a “downstream” company, we are many tiers removed in the minerals supply chain from smelters and refiners (collectively, "smelters") that process the metals found in our products, with many intervening third parties between the original sources of conflict minerals and us. We, therefore, must rely on our immediate suppliers, with which we have business relationships, to provide information regarding the sourcing of conflict minerals in our products. Our immediate suppliers, in turn, typically are also many tiers downstream in the minerals supply chain and have similar challenges.
Conflict Minerals Program
We have taken the following steps to implement a conflict minerals program since 2014:
Adopted a conflict minerals policy (the "policy"). The policy is available on our website at http://www.cardinalhealth.com/en/about-us/corporate-citizenship/ethics-and-governance.html.
Established a conflict minerals steering committee to direct the overall conflict minerals program, including representatives from sourcing, legal, quality and regulatory, finance and internal audit.
Began incorporating conflict minerals provisions in the standard terms of our Medical segment's distribution agreements for new suppliers, which require suppliers to warrant that they will, among other things, comply with our policy, work with their own suppliers to identify the source of any conflict minerals and cooperate with us in any inquiries that we make regarding conflict minerals in the suppliers' products.
Published a dedicated e-mail address for reporting questions or concerns relating to our policy or conflict minerals program to a Cardinal Health representative.
Became a member of the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative ("CFSI"), a cross-industry effort to facilitate the validation of smelters and the participation of smelters in the Conflict-Free Smelter Program ("CFSP"), which offers independent third-party audits of smelters to certify that the conflict minerals they process originate from conflict-free sources.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
For the products subject to this report, we conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") regarding the conflict minerals in materials, components and finished goods supplied to us. The RCOI was designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the covered countries and whether any of the conflict minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. The RCOI included the following steps:





We engaged with 20 suppliers of materials that may contain conflict minerals and are included in our products by notifying the suppliers that we are subject to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act and requesting that the suppliers cooperate by responding to the CFSI's Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT").
We tracked supplier responses and followed up with unresponsive suppliers.
We evaluated the completed CMRTs that we received from suppliers for completeness, plausibility and consistency, and followed up with suppliers to gather further information.
We verified, to the best of our knowledge, whether the metal processors identified by suppliers on their CMRTs were actually smelters of conflict minerals by comparing the facilities reported by suppliers to the CFSI's smelter reference list.
We reviewed data available to us as a member of CFSI to determine the country of origin of the conflict minerals processed by the verified smelters.
Based on supplier responses from the RCOI, a list was compiled of verified, unique smelters. We performed due diligence, as discussed below, on the smelters on the list that were known or reasonably believed to have sourced from a covered country or that had unknown sourcing.
Due Diligence
We designed our due diligence measures to be in conformity, in all material respects, with the internationally recognized due diligence framework set forth in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, second edition, and related supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the "OECD guidance"). The design of our diligence measures took into account the OECD guidance's recommendations for "downstream" actors with no direct relationships with smelters. "Downstream" refers to the minerals supply chain from smelters to retailers and manufacturers, whereas "upstream" refers to the minerals supply chain from the mines to the smelters.
As a downstream company, we do not have direct relationships with smelters and therefore do not perform or direct audits of smelters within our supply chain. We instead rely on internationally-recognized validation schemes that facilitate independent third-party audits of smelters and validate that a smelter has met the requirements of the OECD guidance, such as the CFSP. We support this program through our membership in CFSI. Our due diligence included attempting to match each smelter on our list of verified, unique smelters to available lists of smelters that have been certified, or are in the process of being certified, by internationally-recognized validation schemes, such as the CFSP. We reported the findings to senior management. We also sent letters to 20 suppliers encouraging them to consider validated smelters that are certified as "DRC conflict free" as alternative sources of conflict minerals.
Determination
Based on the above-described due diligence efforts, we identified 410 unique smelters that surveyed suppliers reported as being in their supply chains for conflict minerals that may be contained in our products. Of these 410 smelters, 244 were listed as verified smelters on the CFSI's smelter reference list as reported as of April 26, 2016. Of these 244 verified smelters, 183 were certified by CFSI as processing conflict minerals from conflict-free sources and another 18 are in the certification process. See Annex A for a listing, by name, of the 244 verified smelters.

Although we requested information at a product level, most supplier responses provided information at a company level and not at a product level, and therefore, the information provided was not necessarily limited to smelters confirmed to be in our supply chain. In addition, many of the supplier responses were still incomplete because supply chain participants are still continuing to map their upstream supply chains. As a result, we are unable to validate whether the facilities listed in Annex A in fact contributed conflict minerals to our products.

Based on CFSI’s country of origin data for certified conflict-free smelters, Annex B includes an aggregated list of the countries of origin from which the smelters listed in Annex A are believed to have sourced conflict minerals, in addition to recycled and scrap sources. We have described our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the necessary conflict minerals in our products with the greatest possible specificity above in the section entitled “Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry.”

Future Steps to Mitigate Risk
With the conflict minerals regulatory regime in its infancy, it will take time for the various supply chain and industry participants to institute programs and agreed processes to gather verifiable information on conflict minerals sourcing and chain of custody. Accordingly, our due diligence program is an iterative process and we expect progress to be incremental over time. We intend to take the following steps to

improve our due diligence processes and work toward further mitigating the risk that the conflict minerals in our products could finance or benefit armed groups in the covered countries:

continuing supply chain due diligence efforts and engagement with suppliers to identify sources of conflict minerals;
engaging with unresponsive suppliers and suppliers that provide incomplete or uncertain information;
continuing to refine our due diligence practices and framework as industry practice evolves;
continuing to encourage suppliers to use certified conflict-free sources of conflict minerals;
communicating our conflict minerals policy and expectations regarding the conflict minerals program to new suppliers; and
continuing to develop our strategy to respond to any risks that we might identify in our conflict minerals supply chain.
This report includes forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties, such as whether industry organizations and initiatives remain effective as a source of external support to us in the conflict minerals compliance process. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “will,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law. Subsequent events may affect our future determinations under Rule 13p-1.

ANNEX A

The following is a list of verified smelters on the CFSI's smelter reference list that surveyed suppliers reported as being in their supply chains for conflict minerals that may be contained in our products. Smelters that have been certified, or are in the process of being certified, as processing conflict minerals from conflict-free sources by CFSI or another internationally-recognized validation scheme are indicated below by asterisk. This information is as reported by CFSI as of April 26, 2016.
As explained above, the presence of a smelter on the list does not mean that our products necessarily contained conflict minerals processed by that smelter.
