PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIPMINIMIZING CLIMATE RISK
Owens & Minor remains dedicated to serving our customers and communities while protecting teammate safety, particularly during times of emergency and natural
disasters, to ensure reliability of product supply for patient care. We honor this commitment by implementing continuous improvement as an integral part of our business
operations. Our planning starts with proactively identifying recommendations that bolster resiliency for our facilities during severe weather events. This includes, but is
not limited to, roofing reinforcements, securement of HVAC systems and other equipment on roofs, installing high-wind-rated dock doors where needed, implementing
flood control plans, and other actions to mitigate inherent risks for the specific geography. Our emergency response and business continuity plans provide a framework forother proactive actions not limited to life and property safety, and recovery. We complete after-action reviews and incorporate lessons learned into our standard operatingprocedures. As new data and climate trends emerge, our process is designed to remain agile, increasing our resilience and reducing our risks.

MANAGING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Energy Efficiency at Our Sites
We have adopted practices at our sites to reduce ourenvironmental impact including efforts to eliminate
waste, manage our carbon footprint, and increase
renewable energy usage. We measure greenhousegas (“GHG”) emissions, water usage, and waste at our
manufacturing sites to set and implement site-specificgoals that are intended to reduce our environmental
footprint.
For example, capital investments and enhancements
in our two largest manufacturing facilities resulted in
improvements to our resource efficiency during thepast year:••

Lexington, North Carolina: Enhancements tocooling towers continue to improve energy andwater efficiency through evaporation reduction.
Safeskin Scientific & Medical Thailand (SSMT):
New energy-efficient, double-forming production
processes reduce water and energy consumption
per glove versus former single lines.

Additional site improvements include:•

Honduras: Replacing HVAC systems with higherefficiency units and upgrading to LED lighting.
A new air compressor also improved systemefficiency.

•

Acuña and Nogales, Mexico; Asheville, North
Carolina; and Williamsburg, Virginia: Continuingtransition to LED fixtures.

•

Kells, Ireland: New electrical supply contractsourcing from 100% renewable generation.

Fleet Efficiency
Our Transportation Team remains committed to the fleet efficiency targets set for our strategic
logistics partners, continuing to share fuel efficiency and freight routing information withEPA SmartWay® in order to develop more environmentally-friendly shipping methods. As
our footprint expands, our team collaborates on methods to best consolidate Patient Direct
shipments, providing optimal service to our customers while mitigating the environmental
impact of logistics. Owens & Minor continues to evaluate freight strategies for electricvehicles, optimizing transportation mode and delivery routes, and updating and upgrading
equipment as it applies to our business and climate risk strategy.

Products & Healthcare Services Logistics and Distribution
We continue to identify opportunities for efficiency gains within
our P&HS segment. In 2022, working alongside our fleet partner,
we optimized delivery routes and transportation mode selection to
reduce the total number of shipments, in collaboration with SmartWay
Partners (88% of commercial volume moved on SmartWay carriers).
Using miles per gallon (MPG) as a key performance indicator, weachieved 8.36 MPG in 2022.
The fleet is currently active in 34 distribution centers across the
U.S. Behind the fleet operation, a matrix of managers and supervisors
act as extensions of our local distribution team. Our Transportation
Team and Area Directors of Operations interface with our fleet partner
daily to focus on continuous improvement of our over 99% on-time
delivery rate. Overall, our fleet model allows the control we need todeliver consistent, predictable, and timely service for our customers
while reducing environmental impact.

Large North American
Manufacturing Presence

The fleet serving Owens & Minor’s customers is comprised of nearly
400 drivers and over 300 vehicles organized to deliver products
needed for patient care. To this end, we completed over 300,000
deliveries in 2022. Over the last three years, this fleet has traveledover 17.5 million miles on average, and in 2022, executed nearly 1,900
backhauls, which makes use of otherwise empty truck space on return
trips to our distribution centers.

Patient Direct Delivery
At Apria, the primary mode of delivery is from our branches to patient homes. Once
goods are received into our six distribution centers, we use a third-party provider tomove these products to dedicated routes that reach more than 270 branch locations
nationwide. These routes cover approximately 12,000 stops and 2.8 million miles
annually. Once the goods arrive at our branches, we deliver and pick up items frompatient homes about 1 million times per year, leveraging our fleet of approximately
1,000 leased vans and trucks. These leased vehicles fulfill more than half of theorders to patient homes, covering nearly 18 million miles in 2022. The remaining
deliveries are fulfilled by local couriers, parcel providers, and branch visits bypatients.
We use routing software to optimize delivery routes, maximizing fuel use while
monitoring driver performance. In 2022, we began piloting the setup for electricvehicles in several California locations to reduce emissions, and we plan to expand
this activity. Further, in 2023 and 2024, we will conduct a comprehensive inventoryof our third-party provider emissions and develop more fleet initiatives that will beshared in our future sustainability reporting and disclosures.

Since our Byram model is focused on direct-to-patient distribution, we ensure
shipping accuracy and on-time delivery by leveraging a central carrier for mostdeliveries. Consistent with our commitment to Managing Our Carbon Footprint,
this carrier conforms to the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework, which
was created to measure GHG emissions across various transportation modes. Witha national footprint and a strong local presence, our strategically located Byramsites can ship products to patients for arrival within 48 hours — to anywhere in thecontiguous 48 states of the U.S. Patients can then track orders conveniently anddiscretely from the comfort of their homes. In 2022, our dedicated team of Byram
logistics experts oversaw 126.7 tons in product shipments covering 20.5 million
miles with support from teammates serving patients from 22 U. S. locations.

identify priorities and opportunities to improve recyclability andreduce waste associated with our packaging. In early 2023, we
inaugurated a dedicated Packaging Waste Reduction & Recycling
Initiative to enhance recycled content in our packaging and to
implement consumer-friendly labeling to streamline the recycling
process of primary and secondary packaging materials.
Our manufacturing sites, offices, and distribution centers track
the wastes generated at our facilities and direct those wastes
to designated recycling locations. These manufacturing sites
routinely maintain recycling rates approaching 95%. In 2023, weplan to study our distribution center waste streams and recycling
processes to identify further improvement opportunities.

Promoting Sustainability by Reconditioning Equipment
Owens & Minor’s commitment to sustainability spans the lifecycle of our products, to include reducing environmental waste through equipment reconditioning. For example,
our Patient Direct segment dedicates seven facilities and over 130 teammates to repairing and maintaining over 2 million pieces of rental respiratory, sleep apnea, andpressurized wound therapy equipment in our inventory. In 2022, more than 266,000 pieces of rental equipment were evaluated by our internal repair network, and over
230,000, or nearly 90%, were repaired and reutilized.
Moreover, equipment manufacturers train our teammates to assess condition and perform repairs to determine reuse status, a practice that creates cost savings and keeps
equipment out of landfills. We also extend equipment life through the following practices:•

Destroying odor-causing bacteria with our ozone generator device.

•

Employing devices that clean circuit boards and other electronic components.

•

Working with scrap dealers that purchase metals (e.g., steel, aluminum, and brass) for reuse.

•

Recovering batteries through recyclers identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).

Water Management
In 2022, our SSMT glove manufacturing facility achieved certification of their Environmental Management System under the International Organization for Standardization(“ISO”) 14001 standards. The ISO 14001 certification recognizes the implementation of an Environmental Management System’s policy, objectives, and processes aimed atenhancing environmental performance. As a component of this program, our team promotes responsible water management through a multistage treatment that follows the
glove manufacture rinsing, forming, and cleaning processes to confirm treated process water is safe to discharge before being released as effluent, as depicted below. Thisapproach ensures that the water released from the facility is cleaner than when first received.

professionals to oversee the product lifecycle. We strive to continuously improve
our product quality and safety processes using the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle byestablishing annual quality objectives, monitoring key performance indicators,
and initiating improvement projects using the Owens & Minor Business System
methodology. We manage our internal quality system audits as required by global
standards, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and ISO, as well as through thirdparty audits.
In addition, our Product Safety Team ensures that the products we develop aresafe, compliant, and reliable using well-established risk assessment methods tounderstand both hazards and potential exposures. The team accomplishes theseassessments by following this process:•Screening proposed raw materials for hazards and compliance issues prior touse approval. This screening is designed to ensure that manufactured products
are safe for their intended end use and that any appropriate information related
to each product is disclosed.

•

Assessing raw materials used in our portfolio and monitoring the performanceof our finished products through post-market surveillance.

•

Conducting biocompatibility and clinical testing as applicable to verify productsafety and demonstrate regulatory compliance for all our finished products soldfor use to the healthcare market.

Owens & Minor 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report | 15

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIESThe Owens & Minor Foundation
We invest in the communities where we operate through charitable contributions
from The Owens & Minor Foundation and by encouraging our teammates’
volunteerism. Launched in May 2021 with $10 million in funding, The Owens & Minor
Foundation is dedicated to making impactful contributions to charitable and civicorganizations in the communities we serve. Foundation activities focus primarily on
issues related to the environment, healthcare, and DE&I. Since inception, The

Donating Essential Medical Supplies to Ukraine

Teammate Volunteerism

In 2022, Owens & Minor donated medical-grade personal protective equipment(“PPE”) to support care for Ukraine humanitarian relief efforts, with a total donation
value of approximately $500,000. Our teammates, recognizing the urgency of needin Ukraine, coordinated across multiple distribution centers including Chicago,
Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, to fast-track packaging and shipping. These efforts
made it possible to expedite the transfer of more than 30 pallets of PPE — theequivalent of two full truckloads of products — for delivery and distribution in
Ukraine and other impacted countries via our global nonprofit partner, MedShare®.

Owens & Minor has been actively involved in our communities since our inception.
Through our IDEAL Values, we promote volunteerism not only to further the passionsof our teammates by supporting their engagements with charitable causes of
personal importance, but also to strengthen the bonds of our organization with thecommunities where our teammates live and work.
We are proud of our teammates’ dedication to volunteerism through their community
engagements with numerous organizations across the U.S., ranging from theVirginia Down Syndrome Association to Make-A-Wish® Greater Bay Area and Marchof Dimes®.

MedShare is focused on providing immediate
relief and support to the Ukrainian people in response to
the international health crisis unfolding before our eyes.
Our long-standing partnership with Owens & Minor allows
us to act fast and meet these critical needs in Ukraine andsurrounding areas. We’re grateful for Owens & Minor’s
generous support as we work to help Ukraine in this
rapidly shifting crisis.

INNOVATIVE HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS
Owens & Minor’s strong Americas manufacturing footprint gives us a competitive advantage, enabling continuity of critical PPE products versus products sourced outsideof the U.S. Our business model supports the nation’s healthcare infrastructure and providers, particularly during times of supply chain crises as experienced during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Our other innovative solutions include DMEscripts, a Patient Direct initiative to reduce use of paper prescriptions in favor of electronic ones. DMEscripts eliminates
unnecessary paperwork by automating the medical equipment ordering process to help hospitals, providers, and suppliers remain focused on patients. A fast and easy stepby-step process can help physicians complete more than 90% of orders the first time, reducing errors and giving time back to healthcare providers to focus on patients.
In addition, Patient Direct expanded curbside services for patients in 2022, enabling them to stop by their local site to pick up medical supplies brought directly to their cars
by a teammate. This expanded service offering provides another convenient option for customers, increases delivery capacity, and reduces costs while enabling technicians
to focus on key products and complex patient equipment needs.

Building Stronger Communities with West Virginia University Health System
In 2022, Owens & Minor broke ground in Morgantown, West Virginia, on the futuresite of a center of excellence for medical supplies and logistics. Once construction
is completed, the 350,000 square foot center will be one of the state’s largest
dedicated acute care medical distribution facilities and will include clinical supply
capabilities for surgical kitting, custom procedure tray assembly, and sterilization.
Owens & Minor was joined for the groundbreaking by its local partner, West Virginia
University Health System.
The partnership, which represents an estimated $50 million investment in West
Virginia, is anticipated to bring more than 100 jobs to the state. This partnershipalso gives the State of West Virginia the ability to rapidly leverage Owens & Minor’slogistics expertise and medical supply and distribution capabilities in response to
future public health emergencies.

We are excited for our partnership with
Owens & Minor to take shape as we work tostrengthen the resiliency of our healthcare
system. Our collaboration with Owens & Minor
is instrumental in ensuring that we can deliveron that commitment for our clinicians and thecommunities we serve.
