Benchmark focuses on delivering an engaging employee experience for our team members, creating a workplace where they can build the career of their dreams. Through encouragement, our desire is to have our team members unleash their full potential to drive industry-leading business results, while making a lasting difference in the lives of others. We embrace diverse viewpoints and perspectives, recognizing that greater inclusion fosters innovation and improves decision-making and financial results. We have five core values that drive our culture:

•We act with integrity by doing what we say we are going to do, exhibiting accountability, and building trust at all times.

•We value inclusion by respecting diverse opinions to collaborate effectively.

•We are committed to customers both internally and externally, with a dedication to excellence in every encounter.

•We promote ingenuity by proactively attacking challenges, creating innovative solutions, and constantly learning to drive continuous improvement.

As mentioned above, we established an ESG/Sustainability Council with Board oversight to drive the four tenets of our long-term Sustainability strategy: Environmental Responsibility, Our People, Governance and Our Community. Our commitment to sustainability and these tenets is a strategic and operational imperative as we build a sustainable infrastructure across the Company. In partnership with our employees, we are committed to protecting the natural environment and our community through pollution prevention, conservation, responsible use and sustainable practices. Through our sustainability initiatives, we further engage our employees to ensure that our business practices support inclusion to attract and develop an innovative workforce.
