More detailed Team EHS&S communications include sharing best practices with EHS&S team members during quarterly Global EHS&S Council meetings and via our EHS&S intranet site. Sustainable Design . Sustainable Design has become an integral component of our business strategy and informs the way we design and build both new facilities and those that we are retrofitting or remodeling. Global engineering teams, project managers, and key external architectural and engineering partners are trained in and support the incorporation of our tenets into all Sustainable Design projects, including energy efficiency, fossil fuel reduction, water conservation, waste minimization, and safety. We also launched a project management and sustainability program in 2025 to identify and implement sustainable projects within our operations. Human Capital Management We bring together world-class scientists and talent from around the globe to serve our clients and create healthier lives. Charles River’s efforts to attract talent, develop our people, and foster a sense of 27 belonging are an integral part of our people strategy. Operating in 130 sites and in over 20 countries worldwide, we believe in treating our employees and prospective talent with dignity, decency, and respect as outlined in our Human Rights Statement (available on our website at www.criver.com ). Our People Strategy is built on Three Pillars that enable our exceptional employee experience and distinctive culture: • Connect to our Purpose— Connecting our people to each other, to their roles, and to the organization based on the positive impact we are having on human and animal health, within our communities and with each other. • Energize, Grow and Develop— Ensuring our colleagues are provided with opportunities for continuous learning and development, growing their skills, and reaching their goals. • Make a Difference— Creating an environment where every person can contribute fully to deliver on business commitments at the highest standards, with a focus on quality, appreciation and recognition. Our values—Care, Lead, Own, Collaborate—serve as the foundation for our distinctive culture. Our CRL DNA are the behaviors based on these values that steer us to make decisions, grow future leaders, care for our people, and pave the way for continued success.
