Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Item 1.02 Exhibit
Conflict Minerals Report of Reynolds Group Holdings Limited
in Accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
This is the Conflict Minerals Report of Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”) for calendar year 2015 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions of the terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein.
RGHL is engaged in the manufacture and sale of packaging products for the consumer, food, beverage and foodservice industries. In 2015, RGHL operated through six segments: SIG (aseptic packaging); Evergreen (liquid paperboard packaging); Closures (plastic beverage caps and closures); Reynolds Consumer Products (consumer products including aluminum foil, plastic bags and plastic tableware); Pactiv Foodservice (plastic, paper and aluminum food and beverage packaging); and Graham Packaging (blow molded plastic containers). On March 13, 2015, RGHL completed the sale of its SIG business and therefore this report does not include information about the SIG business.
The substantial majority, and for some segment’s all, of the products we manufacture or contract to be manufactured are packaging products made of plastic, paper or aluminum. Some of the segments also manufacture machinery used in certain packaging processes. We reviewed with each of our segments whether any conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by such segment or contracted to be manufactured by such segment. Each segment conducted a review of its product offerings and manufacturing process and confirmed that it did not use conflict minerals in any of the packaging products it manufactured or contracted to be manufactured. Each segment also surveyed its vendors to determine whether any of the products the segment purchased as components for incorporating into machinery that it manufactured contained any conflict minerals. Based on this review, for calendar year 2015, RGHL has determined in good faith that either its necessary conflict minerals did not originate in the Democratic Republic of Congo or any adjoining countries (the “Conflict Zone”) or are from scrap or recycled sources, or it has no reason to believe that its necessary conflict minerals that may have originated in the Conflict Zone financed or benefited armed groups in the Conflict Zone.
