FROM OUR CEO
Over the course of 2021 and into 2022, we have seen incrediblystrong demand for lithium, led by record-setting demand forelectric vehicles (EVs). We anticipate that demand will continue
to grow as urgency builds for climate solutions and the transition
to electrification. Consumers and governments are driving the
fast-growing EV market and focusing on policies and practices
that accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels.
At the same time, we know our customers and stakeholders care deeply about how lithium is
produced. So do we. We welcome greater expectations for responsible growth across our industry
and in the EV/battery supply chain and are already making significant contributions to sustainability
efforts and regulatory frameworks.
That is why our 2021 Sustainability Report theme is “Growing Responsibly”. This focus reflects ourconviction at Livent that it is imperative—and achievable—to expand lithium production in asustainable way.
We are taking action to deploy our resources and engineering know-how to responsibly and sustainably
meet the growing demand for lithium, while contributing positively to the needs and priorities of all our
stakeholders, including local communities, customers, employees, investors and regulators.
Our unwavering commitment to growing responsibly is reflected in our core values and ourcompany-wide focus on delivering our 2030 and 2040 sustainability goals—even as we look tosignificantly increase our production capacity over the next several years. Sustainability is andwill continue to be a top priority for Livent as we approach key implementation milestones in ourcurrent expansion projects and advance work on our recently announced additions.

There is little question anymore about the climate advantages ofElectric Vehicles (EVs) over their Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)counterparts. It is well established that EVs produce significantly less
GHG emissions vs. ICE vehicles on a life-of-ownership basis. It is now
also becoming abundantly clear that today’s EVs generate significantly
less GHG emissions on a total life cycle basis, which accounts for theemissions from vehicle manufacturing (including mineral extraction andmaterial production) and vehicle end-of-life, in addition to well-to-wheel
emissions. In fact, a 2021 analysis by the International Energy Agency(IEA) indicates that EVs currently avoid 50% of the total life-cycle GHG
emissions generated by their ICE counterparts on a global average.
If we use the 2021 data from the IEA analysis and assume an estimateof approximately 20.0 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)
avoided per EV, we believe that EV applications of Livent’s Lithium
Hydroxide produced in 2021 alone will result in total savings ofapproximately 4,000,000 metric tons of CO2e, on a total life cycle basis,from the at least 200,000 EVs we estimate used our product. A leading
global EV manufacturer estimates that the climate advantages of EVs
are even greater on a total life cycle basis.

Today’s EVs generate 50% less GHG
emissions on a total life-cycle basis thantheir ICE counterparts.1

Beyond improving battery performance, LIOVIX® is expected to enhance
the safety and sustainability profile of Lithium-Ion batteries. The safety
improvement is largely a result of the properties of its unique printable
formulation. Since LIOVIX® delivers lithium in a highly stable, protected
form, it reduces the need for stringent environmental conditions andadvanced manufacturing process controls.
The immediate sustainability benefits of LIOVIX® are expected to comefrom providing battery manufacturers with greater control and precisionin how much lithium they use in battery cell production. This is expected
to help reduce wasted material and costs and allow for high process
efficiency (i.e., throughput). LIOVIX® can potentially reduce the use of
conflict and rare earth minerals in battery production by opening pathways
for increased use of more accessible battery materials like silicone,manganese and even sulfur.

LIOVIX®
In November 2021, we announced our proprietary LIOVIX® lithium
metal product, a unique printable formulation of lithium metal and otherspecialty materials that can improve the performance of Lithium-Ion
batteries, reduce manufacturing costs and enable the next generationof battery technology, all while enhancing safety and sustainability.
LIOVIX® can be printed on a battery’s anode during electrode manufacturing
in a process called pre-lithiation. This has led to higher-capacity, longer-lifebatteries. In fact, the application of LIOVIX® has been demonstrated
through testing to improve a battery’s output and to extend its useful life
with more recharge cycles than conventional batteries.

Livent | 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

There are several potential cost savings and efficiencies for
manufacturers using LIOVIX® that are tied directly to the performancegains in battery capacity and cyclability. These range from needing toinclude fewer cells in a battery pack to achieve the same output toreducing the number of manufacturer warranty claims because of thebattery’s longer useful life. Additionally, LIOVIX® is expected tosignificantly reduce the need for a cell manufacturing process step
called “formation,” which may lower overall costs and free up spaceon the manufacturing floor. Another unique feature of LIOVIX® is its
expected commercial scalability. It is anticipated that LIOVIX® canbe incorporated into existing battery manufacturing processes using
standard equipment and common industry methods for scaling
operations. Each method is designed to fit specific productrequirements, and no changes are expected to be required to theelectrode manufacturing process. LIOVIX® should also be an important
technology for the eventual development and commercialization ofsolid-state batteries using lithium metal. These next generation batteries
will address many of the challenges and limitations of today’s liquid
electrolyte-based battery cells.

HIGHLIGHT STORYLIOVIX® LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
In partnership with Argonne National Laboratory, we completed aLife Cycle Assessment of Livent’s lithium metal product, LIOVIX®,
which includes comparing the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissionsof Lithium-Ion batteries with and without the use of LIOVIX®.
The goal of the study was to further understand the product’s GHG
footprint and ultimately develop an informed reduction strategy tofurther enhance its sustainability performance. The assessment
highlighted that the major contributor to LIOVIX® GHG footprint isthe energy associated with material use and production processes.
Overall, it was found that LIOVIX® treated batteries use lessmaterial than conventional Lithium-Ion batteries and, therefore,
have a smaller footprint.

and heightened public awareness are also driving support for EVs in
consumer and commercial fleet adoption. Many analysts expect that
EV sales will surpass ICEs within the next decade.
In addition to the electrification of transportation, the trend to
decarbonize electricity generation has also continued to grow globally.
Many of these green power installations, such as solar and wind, uselithium battery-based energy storage systems. Stationary energy battery

GROWING RESPONSIBLY
The incredibly strong demand for lithium throughout 2021 and into 2022
was led by record-setting demand for electric vehicles (EVs) around theworld. The positive trends behind demand for lithium do not stop at EVs.
We continue to see increased demand expectations across all energy
storage applications, stationary storage and mobile devices.
As the pace of electrification accelerates and the urgent need for
decarbonization intensifies, we have seen a heightened customer focus
on securing long-term lithium volume commitments from reliable
sources. As original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) slowly develop
their understanding of lithium supply, Livent’s proven ability to meetbattery-grade qualification standards, and deliver on our commitments,
positions us as a reliable provider for OEMs looking to secure theirlong-term base volumes. It is this increased engagement with us by theultimate consumers of lithium products that underpins our decision toinvest in further capacity expansion.
At the same time, we are guided by our conviction that it is imperative—
and achievable—to expand lithium production in a sustainable way. At
Livent, we believe that efforts to meet the growing demand for lithium
must be balanced with considerations for responsible production. We
see these as compatible objectives that must be managed together
with the appropriate deployment of resources, engineering know-how
and stakeholder engagement.
Sustainability will continue to be a top priority for Livent as we approach
key implementation milestones in our current expansion projects andadvance work on the additions we announced in the first half of 2022.

Second Expansion in Argentina
In addition to this first expansion project, in February 2022, we announced
that we began engineering for a second Lithium Carbonate expansion
project in Argentina. The second expansion will increase our Lithium
Carbonate capacity by another 30,000 metric tons by the end of 2025.

EXPANSION PROJECTS
Ensuring the success of our expansion projects is a top priority for Livent overthe next several years as we pursue our goals of reaching Lithium Carbonate
production capacity in Argentina of 100,000 metric tons by the end of 2030
and at least doubling our production capacity of Lithium Hydroxide to
55,000 metric tons—and potentially up to 90,000 metric tons by the end of2025 on a 100% ownership basis in Nemaska Lithium Inc. (“Nemaska”).

Lithium Carbonate
First Expansion in Argentina
In May 2021, after a temporary pause during the COVID-19 pandemic, weannounced that we had resumed our Lithium Carbonate capacity expansion
project in Argentina at our Fénix lithium extraction and manufacturing site.
This first expansion in Argentina will add 20,000 metric tons of Lithium
Carbonate production capacity upon completion in two equal phases of
10,000 metric tons each. Phase 1 of this expansion will see an addition of
10,000 metric tons of Lithium Carbonate production capacity by Q1 2023.
Phase 2 will increase capacity by another 10,000 metric tons by the end of2023, at which time we expect commercial production to begin. Phase 2
will include deployment of a mechanical evaporation unit, a significant stepin delivering on our sustainability goal of reducing water use.

Livent | 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

A primary focus of the preliminary engineering work for the second
expansion in Argentina is how we can expand production capacity within
existing infrastructure constraints. For example, we believe we can add
the next 30,000 metric tons of Lithium Carbonate production capacity
by augmenting our existing Direct Lithium Extraction processes andLithium Carbonate manufacturing processes with new water re-use/
recycling optimization technologies and without requiring any additional
fresh water. Furthermore, the use of these processes will increaselithium yield, eliminate the need to use any pre-concentration ponds
to support our Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) processes and reduceseasonality caused by unexpected weather events.

Third Expansion in Argentina
In May 2022, we announced that we have begun exploring a third
expansion in Argentina, also at the Salar del Hombre Muerto, that would
add up to another 30,000 metrics tons of lithium carbonate capacity. This
third expansion would repurpose our existing ponds that will no longer
be needed for our expanded operations and deploy a more conventional
pond evaporation-based process.

100,000

At the end of the third expansion, which we
intend to complete by 2030, Livent will havetotal Lithium Carbonate production capacity
in Argentina of 100,000 metric tons.

Lithium Hydroxide
In 2021, we resumed our Bessemer City expansion project after abrief pause during the COVID-19 pandemic. The expansion will add
5,000 metric tons of Lithium Hydroxide to our production capacity.
This expansion is well underway and expected to be complete by
Q3/Q4 of 2022. Once completed, we will have global Lithium
Hydroxide production capacity of 30,000 metric tons.
In addition, in May 2022, we announced two more Lithium Hydroxide
capacity expansions.
First, we expect to add another 15,000 metric tons of Lithium Hydroxide
production capacity at a new location in China by the end of 2023.
Secondly, we are evaluating building a plant in North America
or Europe that would process recycled lithium material frombatteries into Lithium Hydroxide. We are now exploring
multiple partnership and funding opportunities and believe
this could be in operation by the end of 2025, with production
capacity of at least 10,000 metric tons.

55,000Once completed, Livent will have total
Lithium Hydroxide production capacity of atleast 55,000 metric tons, which is more thandouble current levels.

Incident Response
All Livent sites utilize a Site Incident Management Plan tailored to its
specific location. In the case of an event, a Site Incident Team manages
the incident at site level and has a process in place for activating the
global Crisis Management Plan for issues that demand additional
attention and support. Each plan establishes a framework to prepare
for and manage incidents in an organized and effective way. Supportingthese systems is our global Environment, Health and Safety (EHS)
Incident Reporting Standard. We have also begun drafting a global
business continuity plan for additional support.

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENTLivent’s Enterprise Risk Management Policy ensures that we identify andevaluate significant risks in a consistent framework. To facilitate crossfunctional communication and alignment in evaluating risks, Livent’s Risk
Council comprises the CEO and other members of the Executive

Leadership Team (ELT). The Risk Council is responsible for identifying andcategorizing relevant risks, assessing risk exposure and proposing andevaluating risk management strategies. The Risk Council meets at least
twice per year with support from the Corporate Audit team.
During Risk Council meetings, participants assemble a Risk Radar that
identifies Livent’s enterprise and business risks. To differentiate between
enterprise and business level risks, the Risk Council uses criteria thatconsider the velocity, impact and likelihood of each risk. Action plans
are created for each enterprise level risk and a member of our ELT is
accountable for the implementation of each plan. A dashboard is created
to measure progress and is shared with the Board twice per year.

INTERNAL AUDITEvery year Livent’s management team conducts an audit of its internal
control processes and corrective actions taken to support organizational
resilience. In 2021, Livent’s management team reviewed the results of
the assessment with the Audit Committee of its Board and determined
Livent internal control processes to be effective.

Organizational Resilience
Livent recognizes the need to anticipate, respond to and learn froma variety of challenges that may arise in a rapidly changing businesslandscape. As a global company that enables the production of essential
products, we take the necessary steps to ensure business continuity byassessing and managing risks. The COVID-19 pandemic reinforced theneed for resilient systems and processes that allow our workplace andvalue chain to adapt and thrive in uncertain times. Our Enterprise Risk

Life Cycle Assessment of Livent’s Lithium Carbonate and Lithium Hydroxide
In 2021, we completed with Minviro a cradle to gate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of 1 kilogram (kg) of Livent’s Lithium Carbonate and 1 kg ofLivent’s Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate. This LCA assesses environmental impact from the point of extraction up to shipping. The analysis for
Lithium Hydroxide via our U.S. route was based on average of data for 2018, 2019 and 2020 and that of our China route was based on data from2019. The LCA also includes our first-ever reporting on Scope 3 emission for these two core products.
Based on the LCA completed with Minviro, the table below provides the 2021 Global Warming Potential (GWP) of our Lithium Carbonate andLithium Hydroxide products, aligned with principles and methods described in ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. GWP is a measure of how muchenergy the emissions of one metric ton of a gas will absorb over a given period of time, related to the emissions of one metric ton of CO2.
The difference in the GWP for our Lithium Hydroxide produced via the China route versus that produced via our U.S. route is largely due tothe energy mix we purchase from the municipal energy producer for the Rugao industrial chemical park.

RESPONSIBLE WATER USE
Livent recognizes how critical clean water is to human and ecosystem
health. We consider access to clean water a fundamental right. We
maintain a commitment to adhere to all regulations regarding water use
and procure the appropriate water permits to support our operations.
Responsible water management is important at all our facilities, but it isparticularly important to our operations in Argentina. While the Salar delHombre Muerto is in an arid area at high altitude, it is in a self-containedwater basin fed by an expansive watershed. Approximately 210 million
cubic meters of fresh water flows into the basin every year from higher
elevations in the Andes Mountains and, to a lesser degree, direct
precipitation in the immediate area. The same amount of water leaves
the basin annually through evaporation and plant transpiration, achieving
a natural equilibrium at the Salar. Livent operations touch less than 2% of
the water that flows into the basin.
Our current production in Argentina utilizes water from the Trapicheaquifer. We employ a comprehensive approach to manage and record
parameters such as water flows, chemical transport and salinity toensure we use water resources sustainably. We work with third–party
experts to conduct modeling of both the freshwater aquifer and the Salar
to ensure that we draw brine and water at rates that maintain the naturalequilibrium of the Salar.
In our more than 25 years operating at the Salar, the Salar has notexperienced a decrease in brine or water levels. Our processes returna significant portion of brine back to the Salar, at the same pH and freefrom any contaminants or solvents. Our processes also do not alter thenatural evaporation in the Salar basin, minimizing our overall impact on
the local ecosystem. The government of Catamarca has also conducted
extensive environmental reviews of our water use and expansion projects
with the help of independent third parties, and we continue to work
closely with our third-party geology firm to optimize sustainable andLivent | 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

responsible water use. Our planned first expansion will be supported bya secondary water source (the Los Patos River), reducing reliance on the
Trapiche aquifer. Monitoring wells on both sources are already in place totrack water levels, recharge rate and water chemistry.
Our second expansion in Argentina will not require access to any
additional water sources. A primary focus of the preliminary engineering
work for the second expansion in Argentina is how we can expand
production capacity within existing infrastructure constraints. For
example, we believe we can add the next 30,000 metric tons of Lithium
Carbonate production capacity by augmenting our existing Direct Lithium
Extraction processes and Lithium Carbonate manufacturing processes
with new water re-use/recycling optimization technologies. Furthermore,
the use of these processes will increase lithium yield, eliminate the need
to use any pre-concentration ponds and reduce seasonality caused by
unexpected weather events.
Our third expansion in Argentina, also at the Salar del Hombre Muerto,
would add up to another 30,000 metrics tons of Lithium Carbonate
capacity. This third expansion would repurpose our existing ponds thatwill no longer be needed for our first and second expansion projects.
The third expansion will deploy a more conventional pond evaporationbased process and, as with the second expansion, will not require
access to any additional fresh water.

SPOTLIGHT

WATER STUDY
Livent continues to actively participate in a geohydrologicalwater study assessing the impact of lithium mining on local
water resources and the surrounding ecosystems, led by
the University of Alaska Anchorage and the University of
Massachusetts Amherst and sponsored by BMW and BASF.
The study aims to improve scientific understanding of therelationship between fresh water and lithium brine aquifers,
evaluate different technologies and processes and provide
greater insights into sustainable lithium mining.

LAND USE
Livent’s proprietary Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process, also known
as Selective Adsorption (SA), allows us to extract lithium from brine bytaking in freshwater as a stripping agent to separate lithium from brine.
Our SA technology reduces the need for large evaporation ponds
commonly used by conventional brine-based lithium producers, whichhave a large land footprint.

While Livent currently has some large preconcentration ponds, they are
significantly smaller than those of other leading lithium producers, andare used primarily to raise level lithium concentrations before runningbrine through our proprietary Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology
processes. After our second expansion in Argentina, we will no longer
use preconcentration ponds for DLE. Instead, we intend to repurpose
our existing ponds to produce additional lithium using conventional solar
evaporation methods in the third phase of expansion.

BIODIVERSITY
As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, we work tominimize the impact our operations have on surrounding biodiversity at
all Livent sites.
Our Fénix production facility is located approximately 2.5 miles (4,200
meters) above sea level and requires a unique approach to biodiversity
management. To protect this Andean mountain ecosystem that is home
to diverse flora and fauna adapted to extreme environmental conditions,
we regularly commission third-party specialists to monitor the variety
and abundance of local plant and animal species, watershed properties
and limnology.
Our 2017 study found that plant species variety and abundance wereconsistent with previous years and the number of animal species had
increased compared to a 2009 baseline, including nine additional bird
species. A 2021 study identified 23 additional plant species, and in amore recent study from January 2022, 30 additional plant species wereidentified. The increase in species is most likely due to the seasonalchanges, as individual plant species become easier to identify as they
bloom. The 2022 report also noted the presence of halophytic plant
species, which are plants that have adapted to living in areas with highsoil salinity, and a number of additional animal species, including 20
different birds, 7 mammals, 1 reptile, and 1 amphibian.
At our Bessemer City site in North Carolina, our man-made 22-acreequalization pond has created a thriving habitat for an abundant arrayof wildlife on the grounds of our 900-acre manufacturing facility.
Whitetail deer, wild turkey, osprey, barred owl, coyotes and beaver live
alongside several species of fish, including carp, catfish, bass, pike andbream. Our employees use the walking trails to the pond for exercise
and relaxation and have reported seeing waterfowl such as gray heron,egret, cormorant king fisher, hooded merganser, ruddy duck andkilldeer, as well as seasonal migratory species of waterfowl.

OPERATIONAL IMPACTS& EXPANSION
As part of our sustainability efforts, we actively monitor and manage
the intensity of Livent’s energy use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,water use and waste disposed at all of our manufacturing facilities
around the world. As we continue to grow responsibly, we have focusedon increasing production capacity while setting initiatives that will reduce
our environmental impacts and resource consumption in the long term.

30%

HIGHLIGHT STORYBENEFICIAL REUSE
For more than 10 years, we have sent a portion of a byproductfrom our Bessemer City manufacturing facility to a cement
producer in the Carolinas for beneficial reuse. In 2021, Livent
shipped 12,870 metric tons of its Calcium Carbonate, also
known as filter cake, to the cement company. Livent’s filter
cakes are used as a raw material in the production of cement
and are a direct substitute for the limestone (Calcium Carbonate)that is mined onsite at the cement facility. Unlike limestone,
however, Livent’s filter cake does not require any mining or
extra processing. For the cement producer, this results inenergy savings and conserves raw materials, with significant
environmental benefits.

Livent | 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTAt our Zhangjiagang plant, variablefrequency controllers were installed
on cooling water recirculation pumps.
This modification led to a 30% reductionin power consumption.

Sustainability is a major consideration in all of our expansion investments
and planning. Although our expansion-related activities are contributing
to increases in the intensity of certain environmental impacts and our
total resource consumption, and are likely continue to do so over the
short to mid-term, we are working in parallel to make progress on oursite-specific reduction programs and company-wide initiatives to achieve
our 2030 and 2040 goals. In 2021, our energy intensity increased 11.20%
from our new 2019 baseline, on a per product tonne basis, due toexpansion activities.
GHG intensity largely tracks together with energy intensity, and our GHG
intensity in 2021 increased by 0.07% from the 2019 baseline, also due toexpansion activities.
Our waste disposed intensity decreased significantly in 2021, with a41.98% decrease against the 2019 baseline. This reduction is largely
reflective of our efforts to reduce Lithium Hydroxide waste streams at
our Bessemer City site and lower than normal rainfall at Bessemer City,
resulting in less runoff water disposal.
Lastly, water intensity in 2021 was up 11.54% against the 2019 baseline,
due to expansion activities and non-production uses of water (e.g., water
for drinking and hygiene for our onsite construction teams).

Compensation & Benefits
At Livent, our Compensation Philosophy is to continually strive to meetthe needs of our employees, shareholders and customers. We achieve
this through competitive rewards, fair policies and intentional practices
that position the company as an employer of choice in every market
where we compete for talent. Our goal is to deliver total compensationthat is competitive with the external market, internally equitable andenables us to attract, motivate and retain key talent.
In 2021, we reviewed our global compensation system to develop
an integrated global framework that is better aligned with Livent’sCompensation Philosophy and specific to Livent’s organizational needs
and design. The new structure is made up of fewer levels and a wider
range of pay opportunity within each level. This structure moves awayfrom hierarchy-based promotions to allow employees to develop broader
skillsets and reward them for achieving a diversity of experiences overtime. The more streamlined and market competitive structure also
provides clear definitions of levels that help to ensure internal equity is
maintained and provides global consistency with local flexibility. Globalalignment will also facilitate mobility, succession planning, analytics andother business functions. The updated compensation structure continues
to be made up of base salaries, short and long-term incentive structuresand individual and business performance-based incentives. We also offer
relocation incentives to attract talent from broader markets for a morediverse talent pool.
There have not been any significant changes to our benefits programsin 2021. We continue to offer benefits programs that vary by region andemployment classification. A summary of our benefits offered can befound in our 2021 Form 10-K.
In the United States, we offer a competitive 401K plan for employee
contributions, employer matching and an annual automatic company
contribution per pay period. All company contributions are fully
vested immediately.

Livent | 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTIn 2021 we completed a rigorous pay equity analysis
with a leading third party to determine if there wasany bias in compensation linked to gender or race/
ethnicity. Results from the statistical analysis,
consistent with methods used by the US Department of Laborand Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, did not reveal
any overall systemic gender or racial based pay gaps in terms ofbase pay and total cash. We consistently review pay actions toensure we maintain pay equity across the organization.

Conversations With Senior Management
At quarterly town hall meetings, our entire workforce has the opportunity todirectly ask questions and take part in transparent discussions with our CEO
and executives. Additionally, local town hall meetings offer opportunities for
employees to engage with senior leadership on important issues specific totheir facilities.

Earth Day
Livent celebrated Earth Day 2021 throughout our organization under thetheme of “Restore Our Earth.” Leading up to Earth Day, we provided
resources on environmental regeneration and individual practices thatcan drive change. As a complement to our standard Safety Shares, weincorporated Sustainability Shares at the beginning of every meeting on
Earth Day to raise awareness about environmental issues and potential
solutions that are important to our people.
Employees were also encouraged to make personal pledges to one
environmentally conscious behavior and share photos of their pledges
and their Earth Day celebrations with their global colleagues. In addition
to our company-wide initiatives, individual locations also held their own
Earth Day celebrations centered on issues and projects that aremeaningful to them.

Good Neighbors Program
Our Good Neighbors Program offers assistance to the small numberof Indigenous Peoples who live near our Fénix operations at the Salardel Hombre Muerto. Given that the Salar is a vast, remote area, weperiodically check in with our neighbors to make sure they are doing
well. We also help them maintain their housing infrastructure and donate
food, hygiene kits and other essential supplies.

Health & Nutrition
In 2021, a team at Livent made weekly health visits to several towns in
Catamarca and coordinated visits from health personnel to support
community health and COVID-19 vaccination plans. To increase access to
medical services, we provided community members with access to an
ambulance and an airplane to transfer residents affected by COVID-19
and other medical conditions to hospitals. Additional activities to support
community health included the donation of medical supplies to hospitals
including oxygen cylinders, blood pressure monitors and masks.
To support nutrition, we contributed monthly food donations andsupplies to 4 canteens in nearby communities and to 78 individual
community members including the elderly and pregnant women. We
also supported the re-opening and maintenance of a canteen in Peñón.

Education Scholarships
As part of our focus on supporting local education, we launched ourStudent Scholarship Program in 2021. This program provides 6-monthscholarships to university and technical trade students including

In March 2021, we began a series of community dialogue roundtable
meetings to establish a formal cadence of two-way communications withlocal community members, including Indigenous Peoples. These bimonthly
meetings are facilitated by EcoConciencia Foundation, a UN-affiliated NGO,and enable dialogue between Livent and the local communities to ensuretransparency in our relationship. The community leaders participating include
the mayor, mining minister and leaders of Indigenous groups. Livent’s teamincludes our representatives and the communications team. The meetings
are hosted in locations accessible to the local community and allow
participants to voice any concerns and request additional support. In 2021,
we held a total of five roundtable meetings.
In this way, Livent is able to align our goals with those of the community andwork together for the benefit of all.

Partnership Against Terrorism which is a voluntary government-businessinitiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen overall supply
chain and border security.
Through our rigorous Quality Assurance processes, we inspect and test
our products and the materials used in their manufacturing. All employees
are required to take mandatory Code of Conduct training. Consistent with
Livent’s Ethics & Compliance program and the ISO 26000 framework,
employees in Procurement/Supply Chain and key manufacturing roles
are required to take additional training on Supplier Sustainability, Product
Safety, Ethics & Compliance and Human Rights. In addition, we have
implemented various Quality Assurance processes and systems to screen
for contaminants/impurities in raw materials and end-products.

In 2021, our Bessemer City facility and Global
Procurement Team developed a supplierscorecard for our direct material suppliers aspart of our IATF 16949 quality certification.
The scorecard tracks supplier rating andperformance on various aspects including
ESG. Our scorecard was identified by IATF
auditors as a best practice, and we arecontinuously working to improve this practiceand incorporate it at our other sites.

Code of Ethics & Business Conduct

Grievance & Reporting Mechanisms

We are committed to acting and operating with honesty, integrity and infull compliance with the law. We believe these commitments are essential
for maintaining our trusted brand reputation and operating with integrity.

We maintain an Ethics Response Line, hosted by a third-party provider,where employees, suppliers and business partners can anonymously
report suspected violations to Livent’s Code of Conduct. We scrupulously
protect anyone who reports an ethics concern from retaliation.

The Livent Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (“the Code”)
establishes company-wide standards that guide our activities andbusiness decisions. Topics covered in the Code include, but are notlimited to, commitment to ethical behavior, compliance with laws
and regulations, responding to non-compliance, relationships withcustomers, employee rights, information privacy, conflicts of interest,
anti-bribery and political contributions.
We rely on our employees to carry out the expectations we outline in ourCode. Accordingly, new employees are required to complete a training
on the Code, and all other employees participate in a mandatory
refresher course annually. Employees must also complete supplemental
training modules that expand further on specific topics covered in theCode. All courses are provided in multiple languages.

We also expect suppliers to establish and maintain channels throughwhich their employees and other stakeholders can report concerns orsuspected violations of our requirements. Suppliers are encouraged tocontact Livent’s Supply Chain team directly about any violations.

Interviews with relevant staff to understand and evaluate the relevant management systems and processes(including internal review processes) used for collecting and reporting the environmental, safety, and social
indicators.
‘Virtual’ visits to three sites (Patancheru, India; Zhangjiagang, China; Güemes, Argentina) to review local reporting
processes and test the consistency of reported annual data with the underlying sources. We interviewed relevant
staff, reviewed site data capture and reporting methods, checked calculations, and assessed the local internal
quality control and quality assurance processes.
An analytical review of the data and a check on the completeness and accuracy of the corporate data
consolidation, including conversion factors and emission factors used.
Desk-based review of source data for the top contributing sites to each key corporate environmental and safety
metric, including invoices.
A review at corporate level of a sample of qualitative and quantitative evidence supporting the reported information.
Reviewing the presentation of information relevant to the scope of our work in the Report to ensure consistency
with our findings.

The limitations of our engagement
Due to travel restrictions relating to COVID-19, our assurance activities consisted of desktop reviews of data and related
information, and virtual meetings and interviews with Livent personnel responsible for the content of the Report.
The reliability of the assured information is subject to inherent uncertainties, given the available methods for determining,calculating or estimating the underlying information. It is important to understand our assurance conclusions in this context.
Our independence
ERM CVS is a member of the ERM Group. The work that ERM CVS conducts for clients is solely related to independent
assurance activities and auditor training. Our processes are designed and implemented to ensure that the work weundertake with clients is free from bias and conflict of interest. ERM CVS and the staff that have undertaken work on thisassurance exercise provide no consultancy related services to Livent in any respect.
