Exhibit 1.01

Conflict Minerals Report

Becton, Dickinson and Company has included this Conflict Minerals Report as an exhibit to its Form SD for 2015, as required by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (collectively, the “Conflict Minerals Rule”). The date of filing of this Conflict Minerals Report is May 26, 2016.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “BD,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Becton, Dickinson and Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for 2015. As used herein and consistent with the Conflict Minerals Rule, “Conflict Minerals” or “3TG” are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite and the derivatives tantalum, tin, and tungsten, without regard to the location of origin of the minerals or derivative metals. The “Conflict Affected Region” is defined as the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its adjacent countries, which include Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, The Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

Overview

BD is a global medical technology company that is advancing the world of health by improving medical discovery, diagnostics and the delivery of care. BD leads in patient and health care worker safety and the technologies that enable medical research and clinical laboratories. We provide innovative solutions that help advance cellular studies and genomics, enhance the diagnosis of infectious disease and cancer, improve medication management, promote infection prevention, equip surgical and interventional procedures, optimize respiratory care and support the management of diabetes. In 2015, BD acquired CareFusion Corporation (“CareFusion”). CareFusion is included in our 3TG compliance and reflected in the Conflict Minerals Report for this reporting period.

BD is subject to the Conflict Minerals Rule because, for 2015, certain of the raw materials and components contained in some of the products that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture contained 3TG that were necessary to the functionality or production of the products. Many of our products do not contain any 3TG or are otherwise not in-scope for purposes of our Conflict Minerals Rule compliance.

We do not directly source 3TG from mines, smelters, or refiners, and we believe that we are many levels removed from these market participants and, therefore, have limited influence over their behavior. However, through the efforts described in this Conflict Minerals Report, we seek to ensure that our sourcing practices are consistent with our Conflict Minerals Policy, which is described below.

Our Conflict Minerals Policy

BD expects its suppliers and subcontractors to source responsibly, respect human rights, and not contribute to conflict.

Without limiting the foregoing, BD expects that its suppliers and subcontractors will not knowingly source 3TG from sources that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Conflict Affected Region. In furtherance of this expectation and BD’s obligations under the Conflict Minerals Rule, applicable BD suppliers and subcontractors (as defined by BD) will be expected to complete a declaration concerning the usage and source of any 3TG in the products supplied to us. As part of gathering the information for the declaration, applicable BD suppliers and subcontractors will be expected to conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry and/or due diligence, as applicable, in accordance with the Conflict Minerals Rule and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “OECD Guidance”).

In cases where suppliers or subcontractors are found to not be in compliance with our policy, we intend to work with and encourage them to source responsibly. Where these efforts fail or we believe that further engagement with a supplier or subcontractor is inappropriate, we will re-evaluate our business relationship.

We discourage the embargoing of 3TG from the Conflict Affected Regions and advocate the responsible sourcing of 3TG from the region.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry; Smelter and Refiner and Country of Origin Information

As required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, for 2015, we conducted a “reasonable country of origin inquiry.” Our outreach included 2501 suppliers (the “Suppliers”) that we identified through our internal scoping process as having provided, or that we believe may have provided, us with raw materials or components that contain Conflict Minerals. The number of suppliers included in our outreach increased by approximately 37% compared to 2014, due to our acquisition of CareFusion. Suppliers representing 80% of our spend responded to our reasonable country of origin inquiry.

1

For 2015, our Suppliers identified to us the smelters and refiners described in the table below, sorted by mineral and risk level, as potentially having processed the necessary 3TG contained in our in-scope products. The names of the identified smelters and refiners are listed on Annex 1. We were able to determine the origin of only a portion (if any) of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in each of our in-scope products.

Pursuant to the Conflict Minerals Rule, based on the results of our reasonable country of origin inquiry, we were required to conduct due diligence for 2015. These due diligence efforts are discussed later in this Conflict Minerals Report.

Conclusion Statement

Based on our due diligence, none of the necessary 3TG contained in our in-scope products were determined by us to directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Conflict Affected Region. However, we were unable to conclude that any of our products were “DRC conflict free.” The terms “armed group” and “DRC conflict free” have the meanings contained in the Conflict Minerals Rule.

Due Diligence Program Design

Design Framework

Our due diligence measures relating to 3TG were designed to conform with the criteria set forth in the OECD Guidance, including the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and the Supplement on Gold (Second Edition 2013).

Selected Elements of Design Framework

The OECD Guidance has established a five-step framework for due diligence as a basis for responsible global supply chain management of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. Selected elements of our program design are discussed below. However, these are not all of the elements of the program that we have designed to ensure that the 3TG contained in our products are responsibly sourced. Selected due diligence measures that we took in respect of 2015 are discussed under “Due Diligence Program Execution.”

Conflict Minerals Policy

We have adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy, as described in this Conflict Minerals Report. The Conflict Minerals Policy is posted on our website and distributed to selected employees and suppliers.

Conflict Minerals Team

We have a centralized Conflict Minerals Team (the “Core Team”) to provide cross-functional oversight for the BD Conflict Minerals Program. The Core Team is comprised of representatives from Global Procurement, the Office of Global Sustainability, and all BD business units. The Core Team is led by a Program Leader with support and oversight from the Director, Global Product Stewardship, the executive leader of the program. Executive leadership of the program resides with Global Sustainability.

2

We also have a Conflict Minerals Steering Team (the “Steering Team”) responsible for overseeing the compliance activity while engaging with functional leadership around progress, reviewing and approving internal and external policy language, and collaborating with necessary third-party resources. The Steering Team consists of the Program Leader, Executive Leader, and representatives from Internal Audit, the Law Group, Corporate Quality, and Global Procurement.

Our compliance efforts are supplemented by specialist outside counsel.

Internal and External Communication of BD’s Conflict Minerals Program and Training

We communicate to other relevant BD associates our commitment to comply with the Conflict Minerals Rule in writing and through in-person training sessions, and other live communications. In addition, the Core Team, the Steering Team, and other relevant BD associates are educated on the Conflict Minerals Rule and our compliance program.

We provide applicable suppliers and subcontractors with information on the Conflict Minerals Rule and BD’s commitment to compliance with the Rule. BD communicates with suppliers in writing, through in-person meetings, and other live communications.

Participation in and Support of Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives

We are a member of the CFSI. BD participates on the Smelter Engagement and Due Diligence CFSI teams. In addition, the BD Conflict Minerals Program Leader, served on the CFSI Steering Team from August 2015 through December 2015. BD is also a member of Responsible Sourcing Network’s Multi-Stakeholder Network.

Data Storage and Retention

BD utilizes an internal database for the maintenance of business records relating to 3TG due diligence, including records of due diligence processes, findings and resulting decisions. These records are maintained for 5 years.

Contractual Compliance Requirements

BD’s Expectations for Suppliers, which contains our supplier compliance requirements relating to many different subject areas, includes compliance requirements relating to 3TG. BD’s US purchase orders include language requiring suppliers to provide information to BD to support BD’s compliance efforts under the US Dodd Frank Act Conflict Minerals Rule.

Grievance Mechanism

We have a grievance mechanism for employees, suppliers and other interested parties to report alleged violations of our Conflict Minerals Policy. We publicly communicate our grievance mechanism. Any grievances received are communicated to the Program Leader and Steering Team. BD associates, suppliers, and other interested parties can report actions inconsistent with the Expectations for Suppliers through BD’s Global Ethics Help Line, the number of which is 1-800-821-5452. Under our internal procedures, all such calls will be investigated.

Collection, Assessment, and Internal Reporting of Supply Chain Information

Suppliers that we determine to be in-scope or potentially in-scope are requested to complete a Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, which contains questions on the inclusion and source of 3TG in the materials they supplied to us and their compliance activities. If a supplier does not respond to our request within a reasonable time frame, or the supplier refuses to respond, this information is forwarded to Global Procurement as part of an escalation process.

Upon receipt of a Conflict Minerals Reporting Template from a supplier, the response is processed through our Supplier Response Analysis process. This process includes reviewing the supplier’s responses against a series of identified “red flags.” Additionally, we review submitted Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates for certain errors and inaccuracies and follow up with these suppliers as well.

Smelter and refiner information provided by suppliers is reviewed against the Smelter Reference List tab of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, the list of known processing facilities on the Commerce Department List, and the verified smelters identified by Apple and Intel. To the extent that a smelter or refiner identified by a supplier is not on any of these lists, we take additional steps to attempt to determine whether the listed entity is a smelter or refiner.

3

Smelter and refiner information is also reviewed against the lists of “compliant” and “active” smelters and refiners and country of origin information published by the CFSI, the Responsible Jewellery Council (the “RJC”), and the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”). To the extent that a smelter or refiner identified by a supplier is not listed as compliant by the CFSI, RJC, or LBMA; we consult publicly available information to attempt to determine whether the smelter or refiner obtained 3TG from sources that directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups in the Conflict Affected Region.

Based on the information furnished by suppliers and other information known to us, we assess the risk of adverse impact. The Steering Team reports the findings of its supply chain risk assessment to our Compliance and Ethics Committee on a regular basis.

We determine on a case-by-case basis the appropriate mitigation strategy for any identified non-compliance with our Conflict Minerals Policy and other supplier requirements and expectations relating to our 3TG compliance program. Potential outcomes under our mitigation strategy include continuing to work with the supplier while non-compliances are addressed, or suspending or terminating the relationship with the supplier. Under our mitigation strategy, to the extent that areas of non-compliance that require mitigation are identified, we monitor and track the performance of the mitigation efforts and report back to appropriate senior oversight personnel. Under our procedures, we also will undertake additional fact and risk assessments, as determined by the Steering Team, for non-compliances that require mitigation or after a change of circumstances.

Carry out Independent Third-party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

In connection with our due diligence, we utilize information made available by the CFSI concerning independent third-party audits of smelters and refiners. We are a member of the CFSI.

Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

We file a Form SD, and to the extent applicable a Conflict Minerals Report, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and make these documents available on our website.

Due Diligence Program Execution

We performed the following due diligence measures in respect of the 2015 compliance period. These are not all of the measures that we took in respect of 2015 in furtherance of our Conflict Minerals Policy and Conflict Minerals compliance program or pursuant to the Conflict Minerals Rule and the OECD Guidance. For a discussion of the design of our due diligence measures, please see “Due Diligence Program Design.”

Product Information

Our in-scope products for 2015 included a broad range of electrical or electronic medical devices, laboratory equipment and diagnostic products we manufacture or contract to be manufactured. Not all of our products in each of these categories were in-scope for purposes of our compliance, i.e. not all of our products contain necessary 3TG or were manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by us.

Due to the challenges of tracing a multi-tier supply chain, for 2015, we were unable to determine at least a portion of the smelters and refiners, and countries of origin, of the necessary 3TG contained in each of our in-scope products. Identified smelters and refiners and country of origin information are described under “Smelter and Refiner Information.”

5

Additional Mitigation Efforts

In respect of 2016, we have taken or intend to take the following additional steps to mitigate the risk that the necessary 3TG contained in our in-scope products finance or benefit armed groups:

The foregoing steps are in addition to the steps that we took for 2015, which we intend to continue to take for 2016 to the extent applicable.
