Commitment to Responsible Business Initiatives In 2024, we continued to build our responsible business program and advance our efforts with certain responsible business initiatives. In particular:

| ✓ | Reporting — We issued our third annual Responsible Business report in 2024, which was aligned to certain elements of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”), Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”), and Global Reporting Initiative (“GRI”) frameworks and select United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“UNSDGs”) that we viewed as most relevant to our business. |

| ✓ | Governance — We continued to hold ourselves to high governance standards. In 2024, our Responsible Business Steering Committee continued to enhance and further develop our responsible business strategies, evaluate related disclosure frameworks for public reporting, and we apprised our Board of Directors on various responsible business topics. |

| ✓ | Efficient Products and Systems — We continued to innovate and develop products, services and solutions that help enable our customers to meet their energy and water efficiency and environmental-related goals, such as the Vertiv™ SmartMod™ and Vertiv™ SmartMod™ Max CW critical power products, which can reduce on-site installation time, leading to cost, energy, and carbon savings, and the Vertiv™ Liebert® XDU 450 & 1350 thermal products, which feature liquid cooling to remove heat at the source, allowing it to be more efficient than air cooling alone. Our approach to meeting our customers’ demands of growing critical digital infrastructure, while enabling them to reduce their impact on the environment, rests on five key principles that we strive to achieve when developing and delivering high-performing, energy and water efficient products, services and solutions: |

| • |     | High efficiency: Continuously design products and solutions that improve upon energy, water, and carbon efficiency. |

| • |     | High reliability: Build resilient and highly serviceable equipment that’s durable and long-lasting. |

| • |     | Low impact: Strive to understand and limit manufacturing processes that may have adverse environmental impacts, and measure and increase use of recycled materials in our products and product packaging. |

| • |     | Low touch: Enable remote troubleshooting, optimization services, and more connected systems to improve and reduce the environmental impact of maintenance practices. |

| • |     | Circular economy: Reuse, refurbish or recycle end-of-life equipment and materials. |

| ✓ | Responsible Operations — We continued to benchmark our operations by collecting and evaluating our greenhouse gas emissions
