Corporate Governance and Board Practices PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

| We believe caring for the health and well-being of our communities is a vital part of operating responsibly and efficiently. We continue to integrate sustainability across our enterprise in the ways we operate and the priorities we set. Protecting the environment and managing climate impacts enhances our ability to provide quality, compassionate care in the communities we serve. |

We believe that our focus on environmental sustainability, with the objectives of reducing costs and improving our operations, provides a strategic benefit. Tenet is committed to strengthening our environmental initiatives and collaborating with our suppliers, industry associates and other healthcare partners as we further develop our environmental strategy. Our ESG Committee provides Board oversight and our EVP, Corporate Development, provides managerial oversight of our environmental programs and initiatives. To identify the sustainability issues most important to our enterprise, we conducted a materiality assessment in 2022. The findings from the environmental materiality assessment continue to inform our sustainability strategy. The outputs of our assessment help us to focus on top priorities across our value chain. We seek to create further efficiencies in our operations and reduce our emissions. Tenet has undertaken several initiatives designed to reduce our impact on the environment and to promote environmentally friendly projects and practices, including:

| • |     | taking steps to measure the Company’s carbon footprint and identify reduction opportunities; |

| • |     | exploring Scope 1 and 2 emissions baseline reporting; |

| • |     | increasing our focus on sustainable design for new construction; |

| • |     | accelerating the pace of LED lighting conversions across our hospitals; |

| • |     | continuing to partner with HealthTrust, our national group purchasing organization, to increase the sustainability of our supply chain; |

| • |     | supporting an environmentally friendly workplace through the recycling of plastic, glass and paper; |

| • |     | expanding our integrated waste management program and streamlining methods for electronic waste disposal; and |

| • |     | promoting sustainability awareness across the enterprise through communications and engagement. |
