Item 1.01 CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE AND REPORT

 

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Bath & Body Works, Inc. (formerly known as L Brands, Inc.) ("we” or the "Company"), which was founded in 1963 in Columbus, Ohio, has evolved over time from an apparel-based specialty retailer to a segment leader focused on home fragrance, body care and soaps and sanitizer products operating under the Bath & Body Works, White Barn and other brand names. As of January 29, 2022, our merchandise was sold through 1,755 Company-operated stores and e-commerce sites in the United States of America and Canada, and in 338 stores and 27 e-commerce sites in more than 35 other countries operating under franchise, license and wholesale arrangements.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”), to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals (as defined in the Rule) mandated by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. After performing the steps required by the Rule, the Company has concluded in good faith that during the year ended December 31, 2021, it contracted to manufacture products which contained conflict minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of such products.

 

Accordingly, the Company has filed this Form SD and the attached Conflict Minerals Report for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021 are available on the Company’s website at www.bbwinc.com.
