Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Tupperware Brands Corporation (the “Company”) evaluated its 2023 product offerings and determined that “conflict minerals” (as defined in applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules) were necessary to the functionality or production of certain products that the Company manufactured or contracted to have manufactured.
Based on the results of the Company’s good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence efforts (including sending to the suppliers of the aforementioned products or components of products the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) and comparing the smelter information provided by the suppliers against the list of smelter facilities considered to be conformant with the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) assessment protocols, or obtaining written statements from such suppliers regarding the presence and country of origin of conflict minerals in the products or product components supplied), the Company has determined that, with respect to certain Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of certain of its products, such Conflict Minerals did not originate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, as defined in paragraph (d) (1) of Item 1.01 of Form SD (the “Covered Countries”). With respect to Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of certain other products, the Company has not been able to determine that such Conflict Minerals did not originate from the Covered Countries. Accordingly, the Company has filed a Conflict Minerals Report with the SEC, a copy of which is provided as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD. Such Conflict Minerals Report is also publicly available in the SEC Filings section of the Company’s website at http://ir.tupperwarebrands.com/financial-information/sec-filings. Information on the Company’s website shall not be deemed incorporated into, or to be a part of, this report.
Item 1.02 Exhibit
As an exhibit to this Form SD, the Company has filed the Conflict Minerals Report required by Items 1.01 and 1.02 of this Form.
