Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

This Form SD of Steelcase Inc. is filed in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”) for the reporting period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. As used in this Form SD, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in Rule 13p-1 are necessary to the production or functionality of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (“Conflict Minerals”). The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of Rule 13p-1 are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

Certain of our operations manufacture or contract to manufacture products for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the production or functionality of those products. We conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding such Conflict Minerals, which was designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources. For those Conflict Minerals which we determined originated in the Covered Countries and were not from scrap or recycled sources, we exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of those Conflict Minerals. Our reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence processes are described in our Conflict Minerals Report, which is filed as Exhibit 1.02 to this Form SD, and is publicly available at http://ir.steelcase.com/financials.cfm.
