EXHIBIT 1.01

Conflict Minerals Report of View, Inc.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2021

Introduction

View, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“View,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”), has prepared this Conflict Minerals Report for the reporting period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the requirements of Form SD (collectively, “the Rules”).

Minerals including tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (“3TG”) are classified as “conflict minerals” and may be necessary to the functionality or production of certain products that we manufacture or contract to manufacture. As such, we are subject to the Rules with respect to those necessary conflict minerals. The Rules require us to conduct, in good faith, a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) into those necessary conflict minerals to determine whether they originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (“a covered country” and together, the “covered countries”) or are from recycled or scrap sources. If, as a result of our RCOI procedures, we know or have reason to believe that any of our necessary conflict minerals originated in one or more of the covered countries and are not from recycled or scrap materials, then we are required to exercise due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of such conflict minerals.

Company Overview

View is a technology company that makes buildings smart and connected to improve people’s health, productivity and experience, while simultaneously reducing energy consumption. Our market leading innovations and products enable people to lead healthier and more productive lives by allowing in more natural daylight and views while minimizing glare and heat, and simultaneously reducing the building’s carbon footprint and energy usage. We have achieved these transformations by designing, manufacturing, and providing electrochromic or “smart” glass panels to which we add a 1 micrometer (approximately 1/100th the thickness of human hair) proprietary electrochromic coating that fundamentally changes the building’s thermodynamics and the health of the humans inside it. Through our proprietary network infrastructure, each View Smart Glass window is provided an individual IP-addressable location and when combined with our proprietary software and algorithms, View Smart Glass intelligently adjusts in response to the sun by tinting from clear to dark states, and vice versa. In addition, we now offer a suite of fully integrated, cloud-connected smart-building products that we believe will enable us to further optimize the human experience within buildings.

For further discussion of our products and services, see our definitive proxy statement filed on February 16, 2021, as supplemented on February 23, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”). The information contained in the Proxy Statement is not incorporated by reference into this Conflict Minerals Report or our Form SD for 2021 and should not be considered part of this Conflict Minerals Report or the associated Form SD.

View’s Conflict Minerals Policy

Our goal is to eliminate the use of Conflict Minerals. We are aware that our products contain 3TG metals that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. To this end, View works with its suppliers to identify the sources of all 3TG metals used in our products. If any of these metals may originate from the Covered Countries, then further investigation is required. We use the tools provided by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) to gather information from our suppliers. The information requested includes the name and location of smelters or refiners used to produce the metals, and the origin of the minerals. Our due diligence process and efforts are consistent with the Organization for Economic Co-operation

and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Guidance”).

Our Conflict Minerals Policy can be found on our website at www.view.com.

Description of Product Identification and RCOI Processes

We have concluded that, during 2021, we manufactured and contracted to manufacture products containing certain conflict minerals. As such, we conducted a RCOI process to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated, or may have originated, in the covered countries and whether such conflict minerals originated from recycled or scrap sources.

We conducted an assessment to determine which of our direct suppliers may be providing components of our products that are likely to contain conflict minerals. We employed a collaborative process to identify the applicable list of components and suppliers to focus our efforts, consulting with members of our supply chain department. We verified with such personnel that the population of components and suppliers was complete and comprehensive for our 2021 procedures. We then identified the list of suppliers that we directly procured materials from (“tier one” or “direct” suppliers) to survey. Three suppliers were confirmed to have supplied products or components to us that contained conflict minerals during the year ended December 31, 2021, all of which responded to our surveys.

Results

Leveraging the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), our RCOI consisted of surveying tier one suppliers confirmed to have supplied products that contained conflict minerals that were either used to manufacture our smart glass panels or contracted for the manufacturing of our balance of system components. This template includes information regarding the smelters, origins of conflict minerals, supplier due diligence programs, and whether the materials originate from recycled or scrap sources.

As part of reviewing the completed CMRT surveys, responses were reviewed for completeness, reasonableness, and consistency, and we followed up with our suppliers for corrections and clarifications as needed.

Our tier one suppliers performed similar RCOI procedures to identify the chain of custody from their suppliers back to the smelter and country of origin. We relied on the good faith efforts of our tier one suppliers to provide us with reasonable information and representations relating to the smelter and country of origin. The smelter or refiner facilities that may have been used to process our necessary conflict minerals are contained in Annex I. See “Smelter and Refiner Facilities” below for more detail regarding the information contained in Annex I.

Based on the surveys received from our suppliers and the RCOI procedures conducted for our business, we concluded that we had reason to believe that a portion of our necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the covered countries and such necessary conflict minerals may not have been from recycled or scrap sources. Based on this result, we exercised due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of such conflict minerals as described below.

Framework Used to Develop Due Diligence Measures

In accordance with the Rules, we undertook due diligence efforts to determine the country, mine, or location of origin and facilities used to produce the conflict minerals used in our products. We designed our due diligence measures to conform in all material respects with the internationally recognized due diligence framework as set forth in the OECD Guidance and related supplements for 3TG.

Due Diligence Undertaken to Comply with the OECD Framework

Our due diligence process for 2021 included the following steps:

OECD Step 1: Establish a Company Management System

OECD Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in Supply Chain

OECD Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

OECD Step 4: Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner Due Diligence Practices

OECD Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

Smelter and Refiner Facilities

In connection with our RCOI and due diligence efforts, our suppliers provided us with lists of facilities that may have processed the necessary conflict minerals used in our products during 2021. Such facility information is included in Annex I.

Due Diligence Efforts to Identify Country, Location, and Mine of Origin of Conflict Minerals in Products

After obtaining CMRT forms and related documentation through our RCOI and due diligence processes as described above, we compared the smelters and refiners used by relevant suppliers with the list of smelters and refiners from the RMAP, as well as responses in the CMRT, to gather the country, location, and mine of origin information. We also reviewed public information, to the extent available, in an attempt to verify the mine or location of origin. All of the smelters/refiners on our list have been verified as conformant by the RMAP. Therefore, based on our due diligence efforts, we conclude the Conflict Minerals contained in our Covered Products come from suppliers using smelters or refiners listed as conformant by RMI. However, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide us with the necessary information about the source of Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products that we contract with them to manufacture for us and our suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers. Thus, there is a risk that the final information provided to us and upon which we rely is incomplete or inaccurate.
