Section 1 Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
This Form SD of Danaher
Corporation (the Company) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
A copy of the Companys Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD, and is publicly available at
www.danaher.com
under
the Investors-Financial Information caption and SEC Filings subcaption.
Rule 13p-1 (the Rule) requires disclosure of
certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are gold,
columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the Conflict Minerals). The Covered Countries for the purposes of the Rule are the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. Certain of the Companys operations manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products
for which the Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.
The Company has conducted a reasonable country of
origin inquiry regarding the Conflict Minerals. This inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap
sources. The Companys reasonable country of origin inquiry was part of its due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals.
Based on this reasonable country of origin inquiry, the Company has reason to believe that certain of its necessary Conflict Minerals may have originated in
the Covered Countries and are not from recycled or scrap sources. The Companys due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals, including its efforts to determine the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals, are
described in the Companys Conflict Minerals Report.
Item 1.02 Exhibit
As specified in Section 2, Item 2.01 of this Form SD, the Company is hereby filing its Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this report.
