#### Sustainability
We believe that what’s good for people, communities and the planet is also good for business, and this is reflected in our long-term, sustainable corporate strategy. To further our strategy and our commitment to transparency and responsible governance, we conducted an ESG materiality assessment. This assessment helped us identify and better understand the issues that are most impactful to our business and most important to our key stakeholders. This process resulted in the establishment of our three ESG pillars:

#### •

#### Furthering our Purpose
#### •

#### Building Community Through Our Partnerships
#### •

#### Growing and Promoting Our People
Our ESG program is overseen by our Board, which has mandated the Nominating, Governance & Sustainability Committee to, among other things, review our strategies. Under the direction of our General Counsel and Chief Compliance & Sustainability Officer Richard Medway and his team, we established a cross-functional internal ESG Committee to drive alignment and strategic focus. This ESG Committee, comprised by cross-functional leaders from across the Company, guides our sustainability strategy development. We are committed to continuous improvement and welcome our stockholders’ feedback on our sustainability strategy and disclosures. Below is an overview and recent highlights from each of our ESG pillars. For more information, please see our Impact & Sustainability report, available at https://ir.savers.com/esg/.

This process is also energy and water-intensive.

By sourcing and selling second hand items, we contribute to the conservation of resources. Thrift is inherently circular and provides one of the most effective solutions to mitigate the environmental cost of clothing and extending its life.

The vast majority of the clothing and textiles we source is sold to our retail or wholesale customers. In fiscal 2024, we processed 1.0 billion pounds of secondhand goods.

#### Building Community Through Our Partnerships
Our mission extends throughout our network of valued partners – team members, customers, NPPs, operational partners, and industry peers – to foster growth and shared
