Safety Systems and Processes We invest in our people, systems, processes and infrastructure to deliver safe, high-quality products and services that our customers expect and deserve. We continue to mature our enterprise SMS, an integrating framework for managing safety risks. Recognized as an industry best practice, SMS has been used by airlines around the world for nearly a decade, gathering data to evaluate systems, make decisions and investigate issues to support the safety of the fleet. The SMS provides a common language and framework with regulators and industry.

STRENGTHENING SAFETY & QUALITY Our SMS collects and monitors data from multiple internal and external data sources: operational data from the global fleet, employee reporting, audit findings, and design and manufacturing data. We then apply industry-standard methods and tools to identify hazards, assess risks and develop mitigation actions. Ultimately, SMS is intended to bring data into the appropriate forums with people at the right level to make data-driven, risk-based decisions that result in safer products. It is a system of continuous improvement informed by existing data and ongoing development of increasingly better safety analytics. The CASO is the Company’s steward of the SMS, providing support to each part of the business. In 2024, the CASO developed and led Design Build Safety activities for all our Commercial Airplanes production programs in support of our comprehensive Safety & Quality
