#### Pay Equity
We are committed to a fair pay workplace. We were in the first cohort of companies certified by the Fair Pay Workplace (“FPW”), an independent certification that takes a holistic approach to pay equity, partnering to design an annual pay equity action plan that includes a perpetual review of all positions, new hires and promotions to effect meaningful, measurable change. This independent certification is based on a set of publicly available rules and standards and the endorsed methodology of a group of leading experts from forward-thinking corporations, academia, human resources, data science and the legal field. After partnering with and overseeing our review process examining pay equity for cash compensation, including base and short-term incentives, in December 2024, FPW again validated our analysis of our U.S. associate population, which found that pay for women is 99.2% of men, and pay for people of color is 99.8% of white associates, after taking into account neutral, job-related factors.

#### Development and Engagement
From an associate development perspective, we offer a robust catalog of career and leadership development opportunities, enabling the improvement of current skills and/or the development of new skills in preparation of future opportunities. In 2024, we invested a significant amount in human capital development, averaging approximately 27 hours of training and development per associate. In addition, over 20% of our U.S. workforce participated in our nine business resource groups, which provide associates meaningful opportunities to connect, collaborate and grow. These voluntary, associate-led communities, which are open to all of our associates, help foster an environment of inclusivity, respect and collaboration.

Our sustained commitment to these values has garnered external recognition that highlights our accomplishments in such areas as employment of veterans and people with disabilities and inclusive environments for all associates.
