With a robust portfolio of specialty businesses, Eastman works with customers to deliver innovative products and solutions with commitment to safety and sustainability. The Company had 2022 revenue of approximately $10.6 billion and is headquartered in Kingsport, Tennessee, USA.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="height:54pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">1</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:63pt;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Exhibit 1.01</font></div></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Eastman uses an innovation-driven growth model which consists of leveraging world class scalable technology platforms, delivering differentiated application development capabilities, and relentlessly engaging the market. The Company&#8217;s world class technology platforms form the foundation of sustainable growth by differentiated products through significant scale advantages in research and development and advantaged global market access. Molecular recycling technologies continue to be an area of investment focus for the Company and extend the level of differentiation afforded by its world class technology platforms. Differentiated application development converts market complexity into opportunities for growth and accelerates innovation by enabling a deeper understanding of the value of Eastman&#8217;s products and how they perform within customers&#8217; and end-user products. Key areas of application development include thermoplastic conversion, functional films, coatings formulations, textiles and nonwovens, animal nutrition and personal and home care formulations. The Company engages the market by working directly with customers and downstream users, targeting attractive niche markets, and leveraging disruptive macro trends. Management believes that these elements of the Company&#8217;s innovation-driven growth model, combined with disciplined portfolio management and balanced capital deployment, are transforming Eastman to a global materials innovation company that enhances the quality of life in a material way. As a global specialty materials company, management continuously evaluates the Company&#8217;s business and operations to improve cost structure, increase investment in growth, and strengthen execution capabilities, including specific initiatives to transform operations, work processes and systems, and business structure alignment, scale, and integration.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Eastman&#8217;s use of Conflict Minerals in metallic form includes those in metals sputtered on some of its film products and products that through a wet-laid production process are used in agriculture or mining equipment.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As a global specialty materials company, the Company&#8217;s products and supply chain are highly complex. While management is aware of the nature of the raw materials and catalysts used in Eastman products, we must nonetheless rely on the Company&#8217;s direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of Conflict Minerals contained in components and materials supplied to the Company - including sources of Conflict Minerals that are supplied to such direct suppliers from lower tier suppliers. In most instances, Eastman is not in privity of contract with, and is several levels removed from, the entities that mine the Conflict Minerals. For example, Eastman does not purchase raw ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals. The Company therefore does not typically have a direct relationship with Conflict Minerals smelters and refiners and does not perform or direct, or have the ability to perform or direct, audits of these entities within the Company&#8217;s supply chain.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry.</font></div><div style="text-indent:20.2pt"><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As required by Form SD, Eastman has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#8220;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">RCOI</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8221;) regarding the Conflict Minerals included in its products during the Reporting Period to determine whether any of such Conflict Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an &#8220;adjoining country&#8221; (as defined in Form SD) (collectively, the &#8220;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Covered Countries</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8221;) and whether any of such Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources.

The Template includes a number of questions and requires each supplier, as applicable, to identify all of the smelters used to supply any Conflict Minerals contained in materials or products supplied by such supplier, whether those smelters are in one of the Covered Countries, and the source country of Conflict Minerals used by each of the smelters. The Team reviewed completed Templates to determine whether (i) the information appeared to be correct, complete, and internally consistent, (ii) the identified smelters are on one of the RMI Program Conformant Lists (described below) or whether the suppliers have advised that they intend to participate in the RMI Program (described below), and (iii) any of the identified smelters source from a Covered Country.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">RCOI Responses and Follow-up.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company received completed Templates from all of its known Conflict Minerals suppliers. </font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="height:54pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">2</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:63pt;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Exhibit 1.01</font></div></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We note that our raw materials suppliers, like Eastman, are reliant upon information provided by their suppliers. In some cases, raw materials suppliers or their suppliers may still be unfamiliar with the Rule, especially if they are not subject to the Rule themselves. As noted, the Team reviewed the completed Templates against criteria developed to determine which suppliers required further engagement. These criteria included untimely or incomplete responses as well as inconsistencies within the data reported in the Template.

The RMAP Conformant Lists represent the smelters and refiners that have successfully completed an assessment against the applicable RMAP standard or an equivalent cross-recognized assessment. RMAP assessments are backward-looking. The assessment evaluates the auditee&#8217;s due diligence systems and processes to conform with the RMAP standards. It is not a material validation assessment. The active lists represent smelters and refiners that have committed to undergo an RMAP assessment, completed the relevant documents, and scheduled the on-site assessment. These may be in the pre-assessment, assessment, or corrective-action phases of the assessment. The operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused postponements of some RMAP assessments. RMI is remaining in regular communication with participating companies and actively working with all facilities to accommodate requests for rescheduling. Ideally, all of the smelters and refiners of a Conflict Mineral that Eastman uses will be on one of the Program Compliant or Active Lists. As part of Eastman&#8217;s due diligence investigation, Eastman requests that relevant smelters used by its suppliers complete the Program, and insists they do so if they are located in, or source in, a Covered Country. Further, Eastman provides smelter information received from its suppliers to RMI so that RMI can work directly with the smelter to conduct the necessary due diligence. RMI, in turn, reports information on smelter sourcing to its members, information that may be useful in confirming that the information we receive from our suppliers is correct and complete.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">(d)</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:6.34pt">Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Due to the Company&#8217;s downstream position in the supply chain, it does not have a direct relationship with smelters and refiners, nor does it perform direct audits of the smelters and refiners that provide our suppliers with the Conflict Minerals contained in the Company&#8217;s products.

For example, the Company accepts as reliable information provided by any smelter that is a member of the RMI Program.

Management believes that this method of obtaining information about Conflict Minerals smelters and refiners in the Company&#8217;s supply chain from direct suppliers represents a reasonable effort to determine the mines or locations of origin of the Conflict Minerals in Eastman&#8217;s supply chain, is reasonably designed to determine the Company&#8217;s use of Conflict Minerals, is being carried out in good faith for the purpose of complying with its regulatory obligations, and satisfies the Company&#8217;s obligation to conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry.
