We are committed to continuously improving our efforts around sustainability. We communicate our sustainability programs and progress across various channels. In August 2024, we published our third Sustainability Report. To enhance data transparency, we added additional disclosures which align to the Global Reporting Initiative framework and voluntary disclosures to complement our Sustainability Accounting Standards Board disclosures. A copy of this report can be found in the About Us section of our website. Neither our website nor our Sustainability Report are incorporated by reference in, or considered to be a part of, this annual report on Form 10-K or any other document, unless expressly incorporated by reference.

We have requirements for periodic regulatory reporting to the EPA and other agencies that are available to the public and we continue to monitor emerging legislation which may influence requirements and potential disclosures. With a focus on emerging legislation and data transparency, we continue to work with our customers to support their carbon accounting requests, specifically emissions related to waste generated in operations, while providing mechanisms to minimize environmental impact through the products and services we offer. We voluntarily provide data to various external sustainability reporting and assessment organizations, many of which provide subscribers and the public with their rankings or scorecards of companies based on a combination of public and private information. We utilize these formal reporting platforms to inform customers and other stakeholders of our sustainability efforts. In recent years, we have been pleased to see our efforts to improve the reporting of our sustainable business practices reflected in scores from various rating organizations including EcoVadis, a rating agency specialized in assessing environmental performance and corporate social responsibility. We have shown improvement in the Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) risk assessments that the Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. publishes, as well as continued improvement in the S&P Global ratings system. We continue to disclose as a voluntary participant to the Carbon Disclosure Project, MSCI Environmental Social and Governance Ratings and Morningstar Sustainalytics amongst others.

Clean Harbors has received recent external recognition for our sustainable customer solutions and products as well as our Company’s employee programs. In 2023, Clean Harbors was the recipient of the Sustainability Partnership Game Changer Award by the National Waste and Recycling Association. In 2024, we were named to the Corporate Knights’ Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World. Additionally, in 2023, and again in 2024, Clean Harbors was recognized as one of the Clean200, a group of 200 publicly traded companies worldwide that best incorporates sustainability into
