Exhibit 1.01

Conflict Minerals Report

For Year Ending December 31, 2020

Introduction

This Conflict Minerals Report for MRC Global Inc. for calendar year 2020 was prepared in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in connection with MRC Global Inc.’s required disclosure filed on the specialized disclosure form (“Form SD”). All references to “MRC Global”, the “Company” or “we”, “us” and “our” refer to MRC Global Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Rule 13p-1 implemented Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), and requires Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reporting companies, such as MRC Global, that meet certain threshold requirements, to undertake a reasonable country of origin inquiry and supply chain due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of any product manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by the reporting company. The term “Subject Minerals” currently encompasses columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, and wolframite (or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten, respectively) and gold (collectively referred to as “3TGs” or “Subject Minerals”).

The goal of the reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) and supply chain due diligence is to determine whether the Subject Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by a company directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country. The Dodd-Frank Act refers to this area as the “Covered Countries”. Reporting companies that are subject to Rule 13p-1 are required to make certain disclosures on Form SD and, in certain instances, an accompanying Conflict Minerals Report, which are filed with the SEC.

Company and Conflict Minerals Report Overview

We are the largest distributor of pipe, valves and fittings and other infrastructure products and services to the energy industry, based on sales. We also sell our products and provide our services to industrial applications. We provide innovative supply chain solutions and technical product expertise to customers globally through our leading position across each of our diversified end-markets including the following sectors:

Although we primarily distribute products manufactured by third parties, in calendar year 2020, we (i) manufactured certain offshore and onshore electro-automation products; (ii) manufactured certain physical components used in connection with our ValveWatch^® product; (iii) provided a full range of valve modification services to meet customer requirements including valve control extensions, welding, hydrotesting, painting, coating, x-raying and (iv) assembled certain valve automation packages, for which we may be deemed to be a manufacturer. Some of these products contain Subject Minerals that are necessary to their functionality or production (“Covered Products”).

To satisfy the disclosure and filing requirements of Rule 13p-1 and Form SD, this Conflict Minerals Report includes:

Overview of MRC Global’s Conflict Minerals Program

Our management team has implemented procedures with the objectives of complying with and educating our employees and suppliers with respect to the requirements of Rule 13p-1 and demonstrating our commitment to responsible sourcing of Subject Minerals, each as further described below, including the adoption of a Conflict-Free Sourcing Policy statement in MRC Global’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers.

Additionally, our management team created a “Conflict Minerals Team” consisting of members of our legal, compliance and supply chain groups to support and oversee the supply chain due diligence, as well as the drafting of this Conflict Minerals Report and Form SD. The Conflict Minerals Team ultimately provides status reports regarding our due diligence efforts directly to our Executive Vice President—Corporate Affairs, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary and Senior Vice President – Supply Chain, who are members of MRC Global’s Executive Leadership Team and have direct access to our Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

Covered Products Description

As discussed above, Covered Products include electro-automation products, certain physical components used in connection with our ValveWatch^® product, valves and valve automation packages.

Our offshore and onshore electro-automation products consist of power and communication systems, test units, control systems, control desks and control panels. These products may contain 3TGs within the following components: (i) tin may be used in the electronics, batteries, wire and cable coating, capacitors and resistors; (ii) tantalum may be used in LED lights; (iii) tungsten may be used in fluorescent light bulbs; and (iv) gold may be used in electronics, relays and connectors.

ValveWatch^® is a condition monitoring system for valves that remotely monitors valves and actuators for the purpose of detecting problems before production is affected. Physical components of the ValveWatch^® system may contain 3TGs, such as gold in the electrical wiring and tin in the soldering of the circuit boards.

Valves are mechanical devices that are generally used in oilfield and industrial applications to control direction, velocity and pressure of fluids and gases within transmission networks and are comprised of ball, butterfly, gate, globe, check, needle and plug valves and are manufactured from cast steel, stainless/alloy steel, forged steel, carbon steel or cast and ductile iron. We do not manufacture or contract to manufacture the valves that we sell. Valve automation packages require us to assemble a valve, an actuator and a control package (consisting of, among other things, a switch, filter, solenoid, fittings and tubing) with mounting hardware. An actuator is a type of motor that is responsible for moving or controlling the valve and is operated by a source of energy, including electric current, hydraulic fluid pressure or pneumatic pressure. Certain components of the valve automation packages may contain 3TGs, such as tungsten carbide coated balls and seats, gold in the electrical wiring or tin in the circuit boards.

We are several steps removed from the actual mining of the Subject Minerals that are contained in our Covered Products and, thus, we do not have direct visibility into the smelters and refiners of the Subject Minerals contained in our Covered Products.

Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

MRC Global performed an initial assessment and determined that certain of its products may contain Subject Minerals. Based on this assessment, in accordance with Section 1502 and Rule 13p-1, MRC Global performed a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (RCOI) to determine which of the products that were in its supply chain after January 1, 2020 in fact contain Subject Minerals, and whether these Subject Minerals were sourced from the Covered Countries or came from recycled or scrap sources. As a result of the RCOI process, MRC Global: (1) concluded in good faith that, during 2020, Subject Minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of certain of its product offerings; and (2) conducted the supply chain due diligence discussed below.

Design and Description of Due Diligence Measures

In accordance with Rule 13p-1, MRC Global performed due diligence from January 2021 through April 2021 to determine the source and chain of custody of Subject Minerals in the Company’s product offerings. We designed our due diligence measures to conform with the nationally recognized framework provided by the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Guidance”), and the related supplements for 3TG. This process included building Subject Minerals awareness across the supply chain and surveying all suppliers that were known to or may have provided products containing metal or Subject Minerals. We believe the design of the Company’s due diligence program complies with the OECD Guidance’s framework for risk-based due diligence in the mineral supply chain. A summary of MRC Global’s activities in line with the OECD Guidance are outlined below.

We developed our due diligence process to address each of the five steps as outlined by the OECD Guidance, namely:

Step 1: Establish company management systems regarding conflict minerals:

3

Step 2: Identify and assess risks in our supply chain:

4

When a facility that MRC Global considers of high concern is reported on a CMRT by one of the suppliers surveyed, risk mitigation activities are initiated. Through our third-party vendor, Assent Compliance, submissions that include such facilities immediately produce a receipt instructing the supplier to take their own risk mitigation actions, including submission of a product specific CMRT to better identify the connection to products that they supply to MRC Global, and escalating up to removal of any high risk smelters from their supply chain.

As per the OECD Guidance, risk mitigation will depend on the supplier’s specific context. Suppliers are given clear performance objectives within reasonable timeframes with the ultimate goal of progressive elimination of these risks from the supply chain.

Step 3:    Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks in our supply chain:

5

A. Have you established a conflict minerals sourcing policy?

E. Have you implemented due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing?

G. Do you review due diligence information received from your suppliers against your company’s expectations?

H. Does your review process include corrective action management?

When suppliers meet or exceed the criteria listed above, they are deemed to have a strong program. When suppliers do not meet those criteria, they are deemed to have a weak program. As of May 3, 2021, 21 suppliers were identified as having a Weak program.

Step 4:    Utilize independent third-party audits of supply chain due diligence:

We believe that the inquiries and investigations described above represent a reasonable effort to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TGs in our Covered Products, including: (i) seeking information about 3TG smelters and refiners in our supply chain by requesting our suppliers complete the CMRT; (ii) verifying those smelters and refiners with the constantly evolving RMI lists; (iii) conducting the due diligence review; and (iv) obtaining additional documentation and verification, as applicable.

The large majority of the responses received provided data at a company or divisional level or, as described above, were unable to specify the smelters or refiners used for components supplied to us. Furthermore, suppliers did not always provide smelter lists, or provided incomplete lists lacking smelter identification numbers, and therefore we are unable to conclude specifically which smelters or refiners provided the Subject Minerals used by our suppliers in products supplied to us.

Our current efforts focus on gathering smelter information via the CMRT. We believe that the aforementioned process for seeking information about conflict mineral smelters and refiners in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can undertake to determine the mines or locations of origin of the Subject Minerals in our supply chain.

Step 5:    Report on our supply chain due diligence:

Risk Mitigation Strategies and Steps to Improve Due Diligence in the Future

In future compliance periods, we intend to continue to improve the collection of due diligence data from our supply chain to continue mitigating the risk that Subject Minerals used in our limited manufacture or contract to manufacture activities directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. To improve due diligence data during calendar year 2021, our Subject Minerals program will continue to focus on vetting smelter data including:
