Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01
Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
In accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Conflict Minerals Rule”), Sealed Air Corporation (“Sealed Air” or the “Company”) is filing this Form SD to disclose information relating to the Company’s use and sourcing of columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (“3TG” or “Conflict Minerals”).
The Company has determined that during the reporting period January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, certain of the products the Company manufactures or contracts to manufacture contained 3TG that was necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Sealed Air conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) designed to determine whether any of the 3TG originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (together, a “Covered Country”) and whether any of the 3TG originated from recycled or scrap sources. Based on this RCOI, Sealed Air determined that certain of the 3TG likely originated in the Covered Countries and did not originate from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, Sealed Air exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such 3TG and has filed a Conflict Minerals Report for calendar year 2017 (the “2017 Conflict Minerals Report”). The Company’s 2017 Conflict Minerals Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01 and is publicly available at www.sealedair.com/investors.
Item 1.02
Exhibit
The Company’s 2017 Conflict Minerals Report, as required by Item 1.02, is attached as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.
