Conflict Minerals Policy Statement
On
August 22, 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued its rule on conflict minerals (Conflict Minerals Rule) in accordance with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the
Dodd-Frank Act). The Dodd-Frank Act and related rules require certain companies to disclose the extent to which the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain conflict minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of
the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries. Conflict minerals include tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, which are used in many electronic components and medical devices specifically for patient safety and reliability.
As a global diversified pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and markets a broad range of products primarily in
gastroenterology, hepatology, neurology, dermatology, international pharmaceuticals and eye health, through its controlling ownership interest in Bausch + Lomb Corporation, Bausch Health promotes the traceability of these minerals and the
transparency of our supply chain. Bausch Health firmly believes that our customers should be fully informed about our products.
With respect to
those limited aspects of Bausch Healths business that manufacture or contract to manufacture products that do contain tantalum, tin, tungsten and/or gold, which are necessary for the safe functionality of the product, Bausch Health endeavors
not to purchase products that contain conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries. Bausch Health expects its portfolio of suppliers to source conflict minerals only from responsible
sources. We fully understand the importance of this issue to our customers and are committed to supply chain initiatives and overall corporate social responsibility and sustainability efforts that promote a supply chain that is free of conflict
minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries.
