Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This Specialized Disclosure Form (Form SD) of SodaStream International Ltd. (the Company) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the Rule) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
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 (collectively, the Conflict Minerals) that originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and certain adjoining countries (collectively, the Covered Countries).
In accordance with the Rule the Company evaluated its products and determined that during calendar year 2013 certain products it manufactured contain tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold (3TG). Based on the Company’s good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the Conflict Minerals, which was 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 Company was unable to determine whether some of the Conflict Minerals used in its products manufactured during 2013 originated in the Covered Countries and whether such Conflict Minerals may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, the Company proceeded to exercise due diligence with respect to the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals and has filed this Form SD and the associated Conflict Minerals Report.
