Exhibit 1.01

Conflict Minerals Report of Avery Dennison Corporation

Overview

This Conflict Minerals Report of Avery Dennison Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) for calendar year 2023 was prepared in accordance with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Section 1502”) and Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”), which require that public companies perform certain procedures and disclose certain information about their use and the origin of “conflict minerals” deemed necessary to the functionality or production of a product they manufacture or contract to be manufactured and which were in their supply chain after January 31, 2013 (referred to in this report as “necessary conflict minerals”). Conflict minerals are defined as columbite- tantalite, cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which include tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively referred to as “3TGs”).

We are a global materials science and digital identification solutions company that provides a wide range of branding and information solutions that optimize labor and supply chain efficiency, reduce waste, advance sustainability circularity and transparency, and better connect brands and consumers. Our products and solutions include labeling and functional materials, radio frequency identification (RFID) inlays and tags, software applications that connect the physical and the digital, and a variety of products and solutions that enhance branded packaging and carry or display information that improves the customer experience. We serve an array of industries worldwide, including home and personal care, apparel, general retail, e-commerce, logistics, food and grocery, pharmaceuticals and automotive.

Forward-looking Statements

This Conflict Minerals Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are not statements of historical fact, contain estimates, assumptions, and/or expectations regarding future events, which may or may not occur. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual events to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof and we assume no duty to update them to reflect new, changed or unanticipated events or circumstances, other than as may be required by law.

Assessment and Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

As a result of our assessment and in consultation with our external advisors, we have concluded in good faith that, during 2023, conflict minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of a substantial minority of products we manufacture or contract to manufacture, the components for which we source from a global supply base.

In accordance with Section 1502 and Rule 13p-1, we performed a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (RCOI) on necessary conflict minerals to determine whether they were sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”) or come from recycled or scrap sources. We engaged Resources Global Professionals, an independent global professional services firm, to provide us advice and assistance with strategy development, due diligence methodology and reporting.

Due Diligence and Next Steps

In accordance with Rule 13p-1, for the 2023 reporting year, we performed due diligence procedures from February 12, 2024 through May 3, 2024 to determine the source and chain of custody of necessary conflict minerals in our products. We designed our due diligence procedures to conform in all material respects with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas Third Edition (OECD 2016) (the “OECD Guidance”) and related supplements thereto. This process included surveying all direct material suppliers believed to have provided components containing conflict minerals.

We occupy a downstream position in the supply chain and followed the principles outlined in the OECD Guidance for companies with no direct relationships to smelters or refiners. Our due diligence activities — and, where applicable, next steps to mitigate conflict minerals risk and improve our due diligence procedures — consistent with the OECD Guidance are described below.

Step 1: Establish strong company management systems

We maintain a policy publicly available on our website at esg.averydennison.com/reports that reflects our goal to refrain from purchasing components containing conflict minerals from the Covered Countries, unless those materials are certified by an independent third party to originate from conflict-free/conformant sources.

Our governance model to oversee the implementation and ongoing management of our conflict minerals compliance program includes a steering committee performing oversight and ensuring regulatory compliance and a core team responsible for product assessment and the RCOI process. The steering committee engages with senior leadership from our business units and corporate functions to develop, document and maintain a governance structure that enables sustainable compliance and satisfies regulatory requirements.

We maintain processes to evaluate parts and suppliers in the supply chain for potential conflict minerals risk. Our global supplier standards and restricted substances lists are updated regularly to ensure that suppliers provide information on their use and sourcing of conflict minerals. We periodically engage with industry associations to help enhance transparency and traceability in the supply chains in which we operate. We use standardized documentation to capture key program decisions, processes and procedures and we maintain conflict minerals records for ten years under our document retention policy.

We have advised suppliers of our conflict minerals policy, have updated our supplier requirements to expressly incorporate the policy, and provided at-risk suppliers with additional information to facilitate their understanding and ensure our compliance with Section 1502 and Rule 13p-1.

We maintain a telephone and web-based whistleblower hotline, our Business Conduct GuideLine (the “GuideLine”), available at all hours for employees or third parties to report potential violations of our Code of Conduct or applicable laws, anonymously if they so choose. The GuideLine may be reached by (i) calling 833.856.8732 toll-free in the United States or toll-free outside of the United States using the country-specific toll-free numbers found in our Code of Conduct, which may be found in the Company section of our website at www.averydennison.com under Reports or (ii) visiting www.averydennison.com/guidelinereport. The GuideLine is operated by an independent third party and accepts reports in any language to accommodate the needs of our global workforce and customer/supplier base. Parties may use this existing



system to provide information or voice their concerns regarding our sourcing and use of conflict minerals. Reports are investigated under the direction of our Chief Compliance Officer, in consultation with our law department and senior management and with Board of Directors oversight primarily by the Governance Committee and, for certain finance-related matters, also by the Audit Committee. We prohibit retaliation for good-faith reporting.

Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

We analyzed components of products for necessary conflict minerals and assessed the risks that they contain conflict minerals from the Covered Countries.

We required identified suppliers to complete a survey based on the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), version 6.4.

We reviewed the responses received and followed up with suppliers that did not return a completed survey. We reviewed survey responses and validated them for completeness and sufficiency. Based on this review, each survey was assigned a conflict minerals status of Out of Scope, Undeterminable, Conformant, or Non Conformant. Specific supplier corrective actions depend on factors such as supplier size, risk level and supplier capabilities.

Our core conflict minerals team reviewed aggregate supplier survey responses and key reporting metrics.

We conducted a review of summary smelter information received to determine if the smelter has been certified as RMI Conformant, indicating the highest degree of certified compliance with RMI protocols and global sourcing standards, or presents a “red flag” as defined by the OECD Guidance. To make the determination of each smelter’s verification status, we relied upon information provided by RMI. RMI conducts a Responsible Minerals Assurance Process through which it certifies smelters and refiners worldwide after confirming specific information, including country of origin, for conflict minerals that the smelter/refiner may purchase for its operations. RMI makes available to the public the list of smelters/refiners that it has certified as Conformant.

Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

We annually conduct a gap analysis after completing our due diligence procedures and we review identified risks and gaps — as well as recommended action plans to mitigate risks and close gaps — with the steering committee.

Management is responsible for managing the day-to-day risks confronting our businesses, and our Board of Directors oversees enterprise risk management (“ERM”). In performing its oversight role, our Board ensures that the ERM processes designed and implemented by management are functioning effectively and promoting risk-adjusted decision-making. The teams leading our businesses have incorporated ERM-rooted thinking into their strategic development and execution, assessing the risks impacting their businesses and implementing and adjusting mitigating actions on an ongoing basis. In addition, we have robust processes that support a strong internal control environment and promote the early identification and ongoing mitigation of risks. In this context, we routinely refine our risk mitigation strategy with the goal of systematically reducing the extent of exposure to significant identified risks and minimizing the likelihood of their occurrence. We continue to refine our risk management plan for risks associated with conflict minerals consistent with these existing processes.

We continue to implement our conflict minerals risk management plan through our due diligence procedures and obtain additional information regarding our conflict minerals risk exposure.

Additional fact finding, risk assessments and changes in circumstances are assessed during our annual review of our conflict minerals compliance program.

Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices

In accordance with the OECD Guidance, we continue to build relationships with industry organizations regarding third party audits of smelter/refiner due diligence practices.

Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence

We have implemented a process annually to summarize, review, and approve conflict minerals compliance results, complete the Form Specialized Disclosure (Form SD) and Conflict Minerals Report required by Rule 13p-1, and timely file them with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Assessment and RCOI Results for 2023

Based on the process described above, we had the following results from our assessment and RCOI process for the 2023 calendar year:

Based on the results of our current assessment, approximately 2,000 components used in our products contain conflict minerals. These components are used in products that represented approximately 8% of our consolidated revenues for fiscal year 2023.

Suppliers providing components containing necessary conflict minerals to our impacted business units were included in the RCOI process. Completed responses were received from 72% of the 87 surveyed suppliers.

Based on the supplier representations contained in the survey responses received through May 3, 2024, a subset of components provided to us has been determined to contain conflict minerals originating from the Covered Countries. These components primarily originated from smelters/refiners that have been certified by RMI as Conformant. However, suppliers responding to our inquiries indicated that the information provided in their responses was applicable to their customers as a whole, rather than us in particular; as a result, we have been unable to fully determine whether our necessary conflict minerals were specifically sourced from the Covered Countries or came from recycled or scrap sources.

The due diligence procedures described above, including our RCOI process, resulted in the following assertions for calendar year 2023:

We have been unable to fully determine and describe the specific facilities used to process our necessary conflict minerals.



Consistent with the OECD Guidance for downstream companies such as us, our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of our necessary conflict minerals encompassed the due diligence procedures described above and have not been conclusive.
Our supplier responses included Conformant, Active, Known, and Unknown smelters. The status of the reported smelters was 63% Conformant, 1% Active, 32% Known and 2% Unknown; 2% of the smelters had been removed from RMI's list. To provide transparency into our supply chain and based on the information provided by the responding suppliers for 2023, we believe that the facilities that may have been used to process 3TGs in our products include the smelters and refiners listed in the Appendix attached hereto. Only Conformant, Active and Known smelters have been included in the Appendix.
