Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Our overall process for conflict minerals included steps such as refining our conflict minerals program, setting forth our expectations on this topic for our supply base in a conflict minerals statement, designing and executing a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), and performing some supply chain due diligence.

Conflict Minerals Program

In response to the SEC’s Conflict Minerals Rule, we assembled a conflict minerals project team, which is led by a dedicated project manager. We continue to build a strong foundation within and outside of our organization and, with our supply chain partners, to strive for a transparent and responsible supply chain to support conflict minerals reporting in future years. Our company’s conflict minerals statement is available in the resources section on our public website located at: http://corporate.thermofisher.com/en/responsibility/resources.html
