 SAFETY AND HEALTH |

Environmental, safety and health leadership are embedded in the HEICO Culture. We have shown leadership in these areas for decades— well before it was popular to do so. Recognizing that we owe our success to our remarkable Team Members, their safety and health are paramount. We are also concerned with reducing our environmental footprint, including our greenhouse gas emissions. Our business operations are expected to follow practices appropriate to their operations to ensure their Team Members’ health and safety, as well as to minimize their impact on the environment and to comply with applicable laws. HEICO’s Board monitors those efforts, which are discussed at every Board meeting. Among our important Environmental, Safety and Health characteristics are:

| ▪ | Our Board’s Environmental Safety and Health (E,S & H) Committee was formed thirty years ago-- in 1992-- to ensure excellence, compliance and a serious focus on these matters |

| ▪ | Our E,S & H Committee conducts regular facility site visits |

| ▪ | Our E,S & H Committee met four times in fiscal 2024 |

| ▪ | Our E,S & H Committee provides a report to the full Board at all regular Board meetings |

| ▪ | HEICO’s Recordable Injury Rates are consistently around half of national averages |

| ▪ | HEICO’s Lost Workday Incidence Rates are consistently less than half of national averages |

| ▪ | HEICO’s facilities are super-majority environmentally low-impact locations with nearly all being Small Quantity Generators or Very Small Quantity Generators |

| ▪ | Many HEICO facilities are light assembly only and have a very minor environmental footprint |

| ▪ | Many HEICO facilities contain “clean room” operations |

| ▪ | Several HEICO facilities are distribution-only locations with no manufacturing operations |

Various HEICO facilities have undertaken or are undertaking many activities to reduce their environmental and carbon footprints, including, among others:

| ▪ | Extensively engaging in recycling production materials, like metals and electronic components, as well as office items |

| ▪ | Reducing reliance on hazardous materials in production operations wherever possible |
