Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
In accordance with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) and Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), Pitney Bowes Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is subject to the reporting requirements under the Act and the Rule and that certain products that Pitney Bowes manufactured or contracted to manufacture during calendar year 2023 contain “conflict minerals” as defined in the Rule (in the form of gold and the derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten) necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The Company has undertaken a reasonable inquiry into the country of origin of the conflict minerals in our products to assess whether any of those conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an “adjoining country” as defined in the Rule or were “conflict minerals from recycled or scrap sources” as defined in the Rule. Our inquiry and due diligence activities are described in the Conflict Minerals Report attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01.
