Responsible Sourcing: Mativ is dedicated to responsibly sourcing raw wood fiber materials, as outlined in our Sustainable Forestry Policy. This policy ensures that all wood fiber and pulp we purchase complies with local regulations, supports third-party sustainability certifications, namely FSC, and requires suppliers to meet our sustainability priorities and requirements. Since 2017, all pulp purchased within Mativ and our legacy businesses has met the FSC Mix, FSC Recycled, or FSC Controlled Wood standards, with a policy to only source wood pulp that meets at least the FSC Controlled Wood standard. Most of our fiber exceeds this minimum requirement. Additionally, all Mativ sites processing wood pulp hold FSC Chain of Custody certification. Beyond unprocessed wood fiber and pulp, some products in our Sustainable & Adhesive Solutions division include recycled post-consumer waste. Also, select Filtration & Advanced Materials products contain purchased recycled resin, where appropriate based on the product’s use phase.

Supply Chain Management: Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets the minimum standards that all Mativ suppliers must meet. We work with our suppliers to gather ESG-related information and conduct due diligence on identified social and environmental risks. Our approach to respecting and promoting human rights in our operations and across our value chain is also embodied in both our Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct and is guided by our Human Rights Policy. We expect our employees, suppliers, and business partners to uphold the principles of the Human Rights Policy, which are grounded in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and ILO Conventions.

Social

Workforce Health and Safety: We prioritize the health and well-being of our employees and communities above all else, with a strong focus on ensuring physical, psychological, and emotional safety. Every Mativ facility implements a common set of Mativ safety tools and processes that are designed to detect critical hidden risk and work to eliminate or mitigate that risk, as well as maintain regulatory compliance. This commitment is reinforced through regular safety engagements with employees, various types of risk assessments, ongoing employee safety training, and the involvement of active joint health and safety teams. We have introduced Safety Key Element Maturity Assessments (SKEMA) to evaluate the maturity of our sites’ safety risk management practices against an ideal state. As a complement to SKEMA, we have refined our balanced scorecard to track ongoing safety performance against set targets, driving accountability and results. We have also launched a
