 that affect a broad range of individuals, we believe a workforce with a variety of representative, cognitive, and experiential differences enables us to better understand and treat these diverse patient populations. A commitment to valuing differences is an ongoing journey; we recognize there is always more to do. We strive to ensure our efforts are having a real impact on our teams, our communities, and the patients we serve.

**Community Relations

We have organized our community relations initiatives around three pillars: (1) complementing our pursuit of innovative medicines by meeting non-therapeutic needs for patient communities, (2) opening doors to STEM education and careers, and (3) being a good neighbor and helping to meet the fundamental needs of those around us. We maintain a corporate giving program that identifies initiatives to support our community and creates opportunities for employee involvement in causes that benefit our community.

Environmental Initiatives

Although all of our buildings are leased to us, we remain committed to advancing and promoting sustainable practices within our current spaces, while ensuring that future spaces are designed with sustainability in mind. To date, we have implemented a number of initiatives, including product take-back programs, cold storage upgrades, equipment donation efforts, and waste minimization strategies. In addition, we have established practices aimed at reducing hazardous waste, minimizing solid waste production, and conserving water.

In 2024, we implemented a cutting-edge data storage platform in our data center, designed to significantly reduce energy consumption, heat generation, and cooling requirements through the use of low-power solid-state drives. This upgrade is expected to lower our carbon footprint and extend the lifespan of our hardware. We also completed the My Green Lab Baseline Assessment and launched several sustainability initiatives based on its recommendations. These efforts included a glove recycling program for lab support areas, a recycling initiative for non-prescription safety glasses, a donation program for prescription safety glasses, the introduction of Green Chemistry principles, and sustainability-focused updates to our training programs.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards and have built strong governance practices to ensure accountability for our actions. This includes a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all of our officers, directors, and employees; corporate governance guidelines adopted by our board
