Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
In accordance with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) and Rule 13p-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), Pitney Bowes Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is subject to the reporting requirements under the Act and the Rule and that certain products that Pitney Bowes contracted to manufacture during calendar year 2014 contain “conflict minerals” as defined in the Rule (in the form of gold and the derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten) necessary to the functionality of those products. The Company has undertaken a reasonable inquiry into the country of origin of the conflict minerals in our products to assess whether any of those conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an “adjoining country” as defined in the Rule or were “conflict minerals from recycled or scrap sources” as defined in the Rule. To maximize efficiency, we combined our inquiry with our due diligence activities. Our inquiry and due diligence activities are described in the Conflict Minerals Report attached hereto as Exhibit 1.02.

Exhibit 1.02
Pitney Bowes Inc. Conflict Minerals Report
(as required by Item 1.01 and 1.02 of Form SD)

Pitney Bowes Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) submits this report pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”). This report describes the inquiry the Company undertook to obtain information from internal and external sources to ascertain whether any Pitney Bowes product contains any tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold (“Conflict Minerals” or “3TG”) that originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries, as defined in the Act (collectively, the “Covered Countries”), and the due diligence Pitney Bowes conducted on the source and chain of custody of such minerals. This report covers parts and products manufactured or contracted to manufacture by the Company in the 2014 calendar year.
To maximize the efficiency of our inquiry and avoid having to conduct additional inquiry and outreach to our supply chain if we needed further information, we combined our reasonable country of origin inquiry with our due diligence process. Based on Pitney Bowes’ inquiry, we have found that Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of some of our products manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2014. Based on our due diligence for these 2014 products, all of our responding suppliers have either stated that none of the 3TG in our products comes from Covered Countries, or that they are still collecting their own supply base information in order to provide us with a response on the source for the 3TG minerals used in our products. Our due diligence activities are further described in this report.
1. Pitney Bowes’ Design of Due Diligence
A. Due Diligence Framework
We designed our due diligence to conform, in all material respects, with the framework set out in the “Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas” and related Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold (“OECD Guidance”), published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”). Since the Company does not buy Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners, we must rely on our suppliers to provide us with information regarding the source of the Conflict Minerals contained in the products and parts those suppliers provide to us. Our direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers. In this regard, we have designed our due diligence to leverage the due diligence tools developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), including a supplier survey based on the CFSI’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “Template”), which is designed to help companies identify the smelters and refiners that process the Conflict Minerals in a company’s supply chain. We have incorporated the following OECD five-step, risk-based approach to 3TG due diligence into the design of our Conflict Minerals due diligence program:
establish and maintain appropriate internal management systems to identify and manage the 3TG in our global supply chain;
identify and assess any risks associated with the use of 3TG in our supply chain by obtaining and evaluating 3TG sourcing information from suppliers;
design and implement a strategy to respond to 3TG risks in our supply chain;
support independent auditing of smelter and refiner due diligence practices; and
report publicly on supply chain due diligence.


E - 1



B. Scope of Due Diligence.
In order to determine if products manufactured or contracted to manufacture by Pitney Bowes contain 3TG sourced from Covered Countries, we sought out industry best practices, reviewed current guidance from various associations such as the OECD and the Information Technology Industry Council (“ITIC”), and attended industry association meetings to assess how other multinational corporations were approaching Conflict Minerals compliance.
Working with outside consultants, we developed a Conflict Minerals survey based on the Template and guidance from the CFSI and ITIC. We sent the Conflict Minerals survey to the 100 suppliers who provide nearly 95% of the total dollar spend for Pitney Bowes (the “Surveyed Suppliers”). We asked the Surveyed Suppliers to respond with certain information, including their Conflict Minerals policies, usage of 3TG, and the smelters and refiners of Conflict Minerals in their supply chains.
Surveyed Suppliers who completed the survey were asked to attest to the accuracy of their survey responses. The Product Compliance Team monitored supplier responses to our surveys and contacted Surveyed Suppliers who submitted incomplete responses or who failed to respond.
We collected and tracked the survey responses in our product compliance database for consolidation, validation and further analyses. We also generated monthly status reports to track and review our progress in data collection and evaluate which suppliers needed additional help in completing the survey.
C. Due Diligence Results for Pitney Bowes’ 2014 Products
Based on our due diligence, we determined that Conflict Minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of various products from our hardware product offerings list, which includes a varied array of equipment that processes direct mail and/or enables transactional mail management and analytics that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2014.
In particular, these products are: postage meters, low-/medium-/high-volume mailing systems that can weigh, seal and apply postage to envelopes; inserters; sorters; folders; mail openers; tabbers; scales; mail kiosks; monitors; printers; accessories; and peripherals.
As a downstream company, we are several levels removed from mining minerals. We did not buy any minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners for use in these 2014 products.
Below is a summary of the facilities (smelters and refiners) reported by our responding Surveyed Suppliers. In their responses, many Surveyed Suppliers identified all of the facilities potentially associated with all of their product offerings and did not always limit the information to products supplied to Pitney Bowes. Accordingly, we were unable to confirm that all of the reported facilities listed in Annex A below necessarily processed the 3TG contained in our relevant 2014 products.
Information regarding the countries from which these facilities source 3TG is not publicly available and was not provided to us by our Surveyed Suppliers. Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products with the greatest possible specificity consisted of the due diligence measures described in this report, including our efforts to seek information from suppliers through a survey process. The table below lists the locations of the facilities identified by the Surveyed Suppliers. For a complete list of the smelters and refiners identified by the Surveyed Suppliers, please refer to Appendix A.

D. Pitney Bowes’ Conflict Minerals Disclosure Posting
We have made public our activities related to Conflict Minerals in our Corporate Responsibility Report published in October 2013. We have also posted this Conflict Minerals Report on our website (follow this link for more information: http://www.pb.com/Our-Company/Corporate-Responsibility/Clients-and-Suppliers/index.shtml.)
2. Pitney Bowes’ Due Diligence Measures Undertaken for 2014 Products
In an effort to continue to identify and mitigate the risk that the use of 3TG in our products going forward may benefit armed groups involved in civil strife in the Covered Countries, we have adopted the OECD’s Guidance on supply chain 3TG due diligence to help us create a risk management program for product stewardship requirements (including Conflict Minerals) which includes:
establishing and maintaining appropriate internal management systems to identify and manage the 3TG in our global supply chain;
identifying and assessing any risks associated with the use of 3TG in our supply chain by obtaining and evaluating 3TG sourcing information from suppliers;
designing and implementing a strategy to respond to 3TG risks in our supply chain;
supporting independent auditing of smelter and refiner due diligence practices; and
reporting publicly on supply chain due diligence.
A. Development of an Internal, Strong Management System.
1. High level management oversight
In order to provide effective management support for, and high level escalation of issues relating to, the Company’s overall supply chain due diligence efforts (inclusive of conflict minerals), we formed two cross-functional teams: the Environmental Product Compliance Team (the “Product Compliance Team”) and the Environmental Committee (the “Environmental Committee”).
The Product Compliance Team is comprised of representatives from Procurement, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, Environmental Health and Safety (“EHS”), Finance and Global Product Line Management and other support groups. This team is responsible for assisting the Company in meeting the requirements of global product-compliance regulations.
The Environmental Committee is made up of departmental managers holding senior positions in various departments in the company including: Procurement, Global Supply Chain, Engineering, EHS, Quality, Ethics and Business Practices, Legal, Finance, Business Continuity, Global Product Line Management, Enterprise Risk and Internal Audit and oversees the work of the Product Compliance Team. The Environmental Committee is tasked with providing guidance, authorizing the financial and human resources needed, and enforcing corrective action measures within

E - 3



Company operations and within our supply chain. The Environmental Committee reports potential issues and company risks to the Enterprise Risk Management team. The Enterprise Risk Management team, comprised or members or senior management from various functions and business units, reviews the Company’s efforts in managing a wide range of risks of the Company.
2. Pitney Bowes’ Conflict Minerals policy and procedures
We established a conflict minerals policy to guide our communications with and expectations for suppliers regarding Conflict Minerals. It is the Company’s goal that we will not knowingly manufacture or contract to manufacture products that include 3TG minerals that originate from the Covered Countries unless they were processed by facilities that are certified as “conflict free” or came from recycled or scrap sources. We communicated our expectation that our Surveyed Suppliers source product, parts and components from socially responsible sources, and conduct reasonable due diligence on their supply chains in an effort to assure that 3TG minerals are not knowingly sourced from the Covered Countries unless they were processed by facilities that are certified as “conflict free” or came from recycled or scrap sources.

We also adopted certain procedures and took the following steps regarding our use of 3TG:
updated our Supplier Code of Conduct with a new section that outlines Conflict Minerals and other product compliance requirements;
revised our engineering standards and specifications to include requirements to specify that suppliers must meet Section 1502€(4) of the Dodd Frank Act;
amended our audit templates to include periodic audits of supplier requirements with respect to products containing 3TG;
developed a new supplier and product review process that includes consideration of Conflict Minerals issues;
updated and distributed to all new suppliers our contractual language regarding certification that 3TG from Covered Countries is conflict free or came from recycled or scrap sources;
published Conflict Minerals information on our website and in our Corporate Responsibility Report;
added Conflict Minerals to the Enterprise Risk Management review activity to ensure frequent review by our management;
included review of Conflict Minerals supply chain data and related processes to the Company’s annual schedule of environmental compliance reviews of key suppliers that cover, among other things, product environmental regulatory compliance.
educated over 600 employees, Surveyed Suppliers and other partners on the need to support the Company in not using Conflict Minerals s that support conflict in the Covered Countries;
required Surveyed Suppliers to complete surveys tracing any metals that may contain Conflict Minerals back to their smelters and refineries;
developed internal policies, written procedures, tools and training to ensure effective implementation of our Conflict Minerals management program;
tracked and reported supplier data in a product compliance information database;
worked with certain suppliers to eliminate the use of Conflict Minerals that may support conflict in the Covered Countries; and
benchmarked Conflict Minerals best practices with other multinational corporations.
We also revised our written internal product environmental compliance requirements to include Conflict Minerals requisites as documented in our Environmental Compliance Standard Operating System.
3. Pitney Bowes’ system of controls and transparency over the 3TG supply chain
As part of the Company’s broader requirement that our suppliers provide us with accurate and complete information relating to the sources of all substances contained in any product, part or component they provide to us, we required that Surveyed Suppliers provide us with information on Conflict Minerals contained in such products, parts or components. Surveyed Suppliers could meet this requirement for Conflict Minerals purposes by establishing their own due diligence programs. If a Surveyed Supplier did not know the original source of the Conflict Minerals contained in the product, part or component it supplied to us, we required that the supplier cooperate with us by urging its suppliers

E - 4



and partners to disclose such information, so that the original source of those substances could be accurately determined and reported.
Surveyed Suppliers who failed to meet our requirements for (i) disclosure of product or parts sourcing information and (ii) sourcing from socially responsible supply chains were subject to additional evaluation to determine whether further engagement or escalation were necessary.
4. Pitney Bowes’ engagement with suppliers
The Company has multiple methods to encourage our suppliers to commit to our policies requiring responsible supplier operations. We have communicated our Conflict Minerals requirements to our Surveyed Suppliers, and other product stewardship requirements, as applicable, to our global supply chain. In connection with our data collection efforts, we have explained to our suppliers our requirements that they conduct their operations as socially responsible suppliers. In addition, we have revised our supplier form contract wording to include compliance with our Conflict Minerals efforts. Our supplier contracts have long contained provisions giving us the right to conduct unannounced visits to supplier sites and to request documentation to confirm the supplier’s compliance with our policies and contractual requirements. Our Surveyed Suppliers have received training regarding Conflict Minerals requirements and completion of our product compliance database. In addition, as mentioned above, we also (i) revised our engineering standards to require compliance verification data with respect to Conflict Minerals be entered into a product compliance database, (ii) updated our standard contract language to require supplier submission of Conflict Minerals information in connection with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act, and (iii) revised our Supplier Code of Conduct to include additional requirements with respect to (A) suppliers investigating the origins of 3TG and providing requested environmental product data to the Company, (B) the Company’s right to audit suppliers’ compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct, and (C) suppliers’ certification of compliance with applicable laws and regulations in connection with the manufacture of products and parts it supplies to the Company.
5. Pitney Bowes’ Company-level grievance mechanism
For many years, Pitney Bowes has maintained an Ethics Help Line which is available toll-free, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Ethics Help Line is operated by an outside firm and enables employees, customers and others to make inquiries and report concerns about potential violations of Company policy or the law, in many languages, without fear of retaliation. Anyone can contact the Ethics Help Line to report any concerns about Conflict Minerals that may be contained in our products.
B. Identification and Assessment of Risk in Our Supply Chain.
The Company intends to continue its program of conducting supply chain due diligence and risk assessment on supplier sources of 3TGs as described above in Section 1.
C. Strategy for Responding to Identified Risks in Our 3TG Supply Chain.
As described above, the Product Compliance Team monitored supplier responses to our surveys and contacted Surveyed Suppliers who submitted incomplete responses or who failed to respond so that we could understand what was preventing them from submitting a full and final attestation regarding their product line. The Product Compliance Team also reviewed the data from the product compliance database to determine which Surveyed Suppliers had data gaps, had raised questions or had not been responsive. Any Surveyed Suppliers that were considered non-responsive or higher risk were escalated to designated internal teams and management for further evaluation as they were identified.
We also reported the findings and information gathered through our inquiry and due diligence to Pitney Bowes senior management.
D. Support for Independent Third-party Audits of Supply Chain Due Diligence
Since we do not have direct relationships with smelters or refiners, we did not perform direct audits of these entities’ supply chains of Conflict Minerals. However, we supported the development and implementation of smelter and refiner sourcing audits conducted by independent third parties and industry groups, such as the CFSI’s Conflict-Free

E - 5



Smelter Program, through our conflict minerals policy and expectations regarding conflict-free sourcing of minerals from the Covered Countries.
3. Future Actions to Further Minimize Any Risk of Conflict Minerals Benefitting Armed Groups
The Company will continue to request information from our supply chain in order to meet the requirements of the Act. Where there is reason to believe that a supplier is not honoring its contractual obligations to adopt a policy and provide the necessary data to us, we will work with the supplier to address the non-compliance. In the event of continued non-compliance, we will consider appropriate measures including, if and as appropriate, termination of our relationship with a supplier. We will also continue to enhance our program by developing and implementing a supplier escalation protocol to ensure consistent and thorough management of unresponsive suppliers. This protocol will document our supplier engagement and how we interact with unresponsive suppliers or suppliers who provide incomplete, questionable or indeterminable information to bring them into compliance with Pitney Bowes’ risk management plan. These actions may include communicating with suppliers to understand their progress and plans and engaging with our suppliers to identify alternative sources of 3TG that are certified as “conflict-free”.
