We are committed to integrating sustainability into how we do business, building upon our relationships with stakeholders, and continuing to be a solutions provider for our customers.” - Tory Flynn, Chief Sustainability Officer HOW WE THINK ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY We are still in the primary stages of our sustainability evolution. Our Sustainability Model (pictured, left) incorporates all the topics our stakeholders deemed material (identified through a materiality assessment), with the addition of energy and emissions. We have mapped these topics into the ESG categories to clearly communicate to stakeholders our focus. The outer gray ribbon, our people, products and partnerships, are what helps us accomplish the work we have ahead of us in these areas. We know that sustainability has the potential to create return for our shareholders, value for our customers, development opportunities for our employees, and improvements to the communities in which we operate. History of our Commitment In September 2019, Hillenbrand publicly committed to advancing sustainability and addressing topics of material importance to stakeholders and our own Core Values by signing onto the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). Key milestones on our journey are noted below. Oversight The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee (NCGC) of our Board of Directors is composed of each of our independent directors and is responsible for approving our overall sustainability strategy. Our Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC) is composed of executive leaders who are responsible for establishing our sustainability strategy and presenting it to the NCGC for approval. Our ESG Council is a working group overseeing the three key areas: E, S, and G. The Council is responsible for driving the execution of the sustainability strategy through working groups closely connected to our businesses, which implement standards, KPIs, and strategy across our operations. Supporting Policies As a global diversified industrial company, we are committed to pursuing a leadership role and fulfilling our duty to improve the social and environmental impacts of our activities. Our strategy includes adopting policies that advance Hillenbrand's support of the environment and human rights of the people who live in it. ENVIRONMENTAL As part of our efforts to minimize risk across Hillenbrand and to uphold the environmental commitments outlined in our Code of Ethical Business Conduct (Code of Ethics), Hillenbrand committed, through the adoption of a Global Environmental Policy in July 2020, to adhere to all environmental regulations and promote environmental stewardship. Hillenbrand’s plans in adopting this policy include sharing and cooperating in best practices across operating companies, promoting the purchase and use of recycled materials, and making environmental considerations a priority in our business planning and manufacturing processes. Human Rights As a global company, we support international efforts to promote and protect human rights and do not tolerate abuse of human rights in our operations or in our supply chain.
