"Tom is guiding the Company through a time of significant change, providing steady leadership, technical expertise, and disciplined financial stewardship, and leaving a legacy of financial discipline, increased engagement, and professional development for our finance team. He has positioned the Company well for its next chapter, and we wish him well in his retirement."

The Clean Earth sale remains on track for completion in mid-2026, and Tom Vadaketh will remain Chief Financial Officer of Enviri until the transactions are completed.
