Conflict Minerals Newell Brands Conflict Minerals Report Newell Brands Inc. (and its subsidiaries, collectively “Newell”) is dedicated to conducting business in a lawful and ethical manner. At Newell Brands, we are well-positioned to drive sustainable growth by building our brands and developing our business systems in ways that responsibly address the use of earth’s resources. In line with our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, this includes a commitment not only to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, but also to conducting our business worldwide in accordance with our deep respect for human rights. Along with governments, NGOs, the investment community, and other corporations, Newell Brands is concerned with potential human rights violations, such as forced labor, human trafficking, child labor, and the role armed conflicts may play in such violations across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and surrounding regions (“the DRC region”). We understand that these conflicts may be directly or indirectly financed by the mining of and trade in “conflict minerals.” The term “conflict minerals” refers to tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold (“3TG minerals”), and the ores from which they originate, that are mined in the DRC region. Because of our support for the human rights of all people and our concern that materials in our supply chain may be inadvertently used to limit human rights, we strive to understand whether any 3TG minerals that may be contained in our products are used to finance the conflict in the DRC region. Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 also requires publicly traded companies to inquire into the origin of 3TG minerals in their supply chains and to report in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Newell Brands supports the goals of this regulation. We commit to institute systems, procedures and strong governance processes to ensure proper implementation of these objectives across the company. Our actions on conflict minerals support and evidence Newell Brands' long-term commitment to respect the human rights of all people and to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve.
