Exhibit 1.01

Conflict Minerals Report

Becton, Dickinson and Company has included this Conflict Minerals Report as an exhibit to its Form SD for 2017, as contemplated by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Form SD (collectively, the “Conflict Minerals Rule”). The date of filing of this Conflict Minerals Report is May 15, 2018.

The term “BD,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Becton, Dickinson and Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for or at the end of 2017. Except where indicated or the context indicates otherwise, these references include C.R. Bard, Inc. (“Bard”), which is discussed further below. 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 engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of medical supplies, devices, laboratory equipment and diagnostic products used by healthcare institutions, life science researchers, clinical laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry and the general public. BD’s products are manufactured and sold worldwide. On December 29, 2017, BD completed its acquisition of C.R. Bard, Inc. (“Bard”), which previously was a public company required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act. Bard is a leading multinational developer, manufacturer and marketer of innovative, life-enhancing medical technologies in the fields of vascular, urology, oncology and surgical specialty products. This Conflict Minerals Report includes Bard for 2017. BD and Bard’s 3TG compliance programs are being integrated in 2018. The separate 3TG compliance programs for BD and Bard had many similar elements, although not all of the program elements discussed herein were part of both programs for 2017.

BD is subject to the Conflict Minerals Rule because, for 2017, 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. 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 Policies

As separate companies, BD and Bard had separate conflict minerals policies, as described below. In 2018, we intend to introduce an updated Conflict Minerals Policy that applies to all of our applicable business units.

BD. 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.

Bard. Bard also is committed to ethical business practices and compliance with the law and has published expectations of suppliers. Bard’s supplier expectations indicate that it expects them to: (1) comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations relating to 3TG; (2) give timely, complete, and reliable responses to Bard’s supply chain inquiries regarding 3TG; (3) implement their own policies and procedures to prevent the use of 3TG from conflict sources in the raw materials, components and finished products that they supply to Bard; (4) make reasonable efforts to ensure the responsible sourcing of 3TG minerals from “conflict-free” suppliers and smelters; and (5) work with their own suppliers to determine the source of 3TG minerals when unknown.

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

As required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, for 2017, we conducted a “reasonable country of origin inquiry.” Our outreach included 2027 suppliers for BD and 258 suppliers for Bard (the “Suppliers”) that were identified through our internal scoping processes as having provided, or that we believe may have provided, us with raw materials or components that contain 3TG. Suppliers representing 90% of BD’s in-scope spend responded to BD’s reasonable country of origin inquiry and suppliers representing 91% of Bard’s in-scope spend responded to Bard’s inquiry.

For 2017, 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.

Based on the results of our reasonable country of origin inquiry, we conducted due diligence for 2017. 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 did not 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 (Third Edition).

Selected Elements of Design Framework

The OECD Guidance has established a 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 2017 are discussed under “Due Diligence Program Execution.”

Conflict Minerals Policy

BD’s Conflict Minerals Policy, as described in this Conflict Minerals Report, is available on our website at http://www.bd.com/en-us/company/sustainability-at-bd/corporate-policies-and-resources-for-suppliers.

Conflict Minerals Teams

In 2018, the legacy BD and Bard Conflict Minerals Steering Teams were combined.

We have a centralized Conflict Minerals Team (the “Core Team”) to provide cross-functional support for the 3TG compliance program. The Core Team is comprised of representatives from Global Procurement, the Office of Global Sustainability, and business units with products likely to contain 3TG. The Core Team is led by the Conflict Minerals Program Leader with support and oversight from the Director, Product Stewardship Compliance. Executive leadership of the Conflict Minerals Program resides with Global Sustainability.

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 the Law Group and Global Procurement.

Our compliance efforts are supplemented by specialist outside counsel.

Internal and External Communication of Conflict Minerals Program and Training

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

Applicable suppliers and subcontractors are provided with information on the Conflict Minerals Rule, our commitment to compliance with the Rule and/or our sourcing expectations. This is done in writing, through in-person meetings and other live communications and/or through contractual requirements.

Participation in and Support of Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives

We are a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI,” and formerly known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative or CFSI). BD participates on the RMI’s Smelter Engagement and Due Diligence teams.

Data Storage and Retention

We utilize an internal database and an external Conflict Minerals Platform 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

We include provisions in certain purchase orders and contracts requiring suppliers to provide information to support our compliance efforts under the Conflict Minerals Rule. In addition, BD’s Expectations for Suppliers, which contains our supplier compliance requirements relating to many different subject areas, includes compliance requirements relating to 3TG.

Grievance Mechanisms

We have grievance mechanisms for employees, suppliers and other interested parties to report alleged violations of our Conflict Minerals Policies and we publicly communicate our grievance mechanisms. Any grievances received are communicated to the Program Leader and Steering Team. Associates, suppliers, and other interested parties can report actions inconsistent with the Expectations for Suppliers through our 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 BD determined to be 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, we may follow-up with electronic reminders, by email and/or phone inquiries. If the supplier does not respond within a reasonable time frame or refuses to respond, this information is forwarded to Global Procurement or local buyers at manufacturing plants to assist as part of an escalation process. Suppliers that Bard determined to be in-scope or potentially in-scope were requested to respond to a Request For Information. If the supplier to Bard replied that they used 3TG, they were requested to complete a Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. As part of the Bard process we make several system inquiries, then email and phone inquiries. If a Bard supplier does not respond within a reasonable time frame, this information is forwarded to Global Procurement or local buyers at manufacturing plants to assist. Bard communicates all supplier’s status (including if they have responded and number of times we reached out) to the Steering Team.

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 Look-up tab of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and the global smelter library in our software system, which includes information published by RMI, the Responsible Jewellery Council (the “RJC”) and the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”).

Smelter and refiner information is also reviewed against the lists of “conformant” and “active” (or the equivalent) smelters and refiners and country of origin information published by the RMI, the RJC and the LBMA. To the extent that a smelter or refiner identified by a supplier is not listed as conformant or the equivalent by the RMI, 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 impacts. The Steering Team reports the findings of its supply chain risk assessment to senior management 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.

In addition, to the extent that identified smelters or refiners are not listed as conformant, we seek to exercise leverage over the smelters and refiners to become conformant through our participation in and support of the RMI. We also utilize information provided by the RMI to its members to monitor smelter and refiner improvement.

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 and rely on information made available by the RMI concerning independent third-party audits of smelters and refiners to assess smelter and refiner due diligence and to determine whether the smelter or refiner is conformant. We are a member of the RMI. We also made a contribution to the RMI Initial Audit Fund to support smelter and refiner audits.

Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

We file a Form SD and 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 2017 compliance period. These are not all of the measures that we took in respect of 2017 in furtherance of BD’s and Bard’s Conflict Minerals Policies or pursuant to our 3TG compliance program, 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

In-scope products for 2017 included (1) for BD, a broad range of electrical or electronic medical devices, laboratory equipment and diagnostic products we manufacture or contract to be manufactured and (2) for Bard, vascular products, urology products, oncology products and surgical specialty products. Not all of the 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

For 2017, 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 “Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry”, “Smelter and Refiner and Country of Origin Information” and on Annex 1.

Additional Mitigation Efforts

In respect of 2018, 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 2017, which we intend to continue to take for 2018 to the extent applicable.

Annex 1

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Annex have the meanings indicated in our Conflict Minerals Report.
