 It is the position of the Board of Directors that nomination decisions and the Company’s hiring practices for senior management positions should be based on a number of factors, which include leadership capabilities, mature judgment, merit, talent, experience, expertise, and strategic/innovative thinking. At the same time, we believe diversity, including gender diversity, is an important additional consideration in determining the composition of our Board of Directors. We believe a truly diverse Board of Directors, as well as senior management team, will include and utilize differences in skills, expertise, and industry experience. We recognize that diversity can enhance the effectiveness of the Board and senior management by bringing different perspectives to the decision-making process and help foster an inclusive workplace. 
 In 2019, we established a Policy Regarding Diversity on the Board of Directors and in Senior Management Positions (the “Diversity Policy”), which was most recently updated on April 23, 2024. A copy of the Diversity Policy can be found on our corporate website at https://investors.wasteconnections.com/diversity-policy.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |     |   |   |                          |   |
