### Environmental Management Systems
Penguin Solutions has established a quality, environment, health, and safety (“QEHS”) management system, which is aligned to the principles of ISO and defines elements by which Penguin Solutions conducts its global business and the protection of its employees and stakeholders, the public, and the environment. It provides the framework to develop, implement, monitor, and improve QEHS objectives, targets, and performance standards to mitigate our exposure to risks. We conduct internal and external audits annually to maintain our standards of operation and maintain our ISO certification. The QEHS management system applies to all Penguin Solutions’ business locations, units, and functions, as well as all aspects of our global business processes.

#### Environmental Sustainability
As a global technology company involved in multiple lines of business, we are positioned to make a positive impact on our environment and in our communities. We strive to deploy environmentally sustainable business practices to help minimize the impact of our operations on the environment.

Our environmental sustainability strategy and programs are managed by the Steering Committee, which sets goals, tracks progress, and promotes compliance to legal requirements. The team meets regularly to address these issues and consider our business nexus with the environment, with an aim to holistically consider risks, opportunities, impacts, and dependencies.

Energy Management

A significant portion of our operational greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to our energy use. As a result, we are focused on our energy management as a part of our broader climate strategy. We take actions to measure, reduce, and report on our climate impact and proactively invest in projects that support conservation and renewable energy.

Water Management

Penguin Solutions recognizes water as both a critical global resource and an essential part of our business operations. We monitor our water usage and consistently look for opportunities to reduce our water withdrawal and consumption.

Waste Management

Penguin Solutions has a sustained focus on consuming fewer resources, producing less waste, and recycling and reusing as much as possible. We engage in sustainable packing and shipping practices, such as increasing packing density to reduce the need for multiple deliveries, packaging products using materials that are recyclable, reusable
