GRI INDEX

Team Member Health and Safety Respect for People is one of our Values & Guiding Principles, and it is the foundation for our companywide safety goal: to be recordable-injury free. Achieving this goal requires daily commitment, participation from every team member, and consistent review of our progress. We leverage employee engagement as a key component of our safety program to prevent safety incidents from occurring and learn from them if they do.

OUR COMMITMENT TO TEAM MEMBER HEALTH & SAFETY We emphasize the importance of safe work practices throughout every team member’s career at S&C, starting on the date of hire. Our onboarding process includes training on job-specific safety procedures and everyday safety requirements as covered in our Safety Manual. Throughout their tenure, all team members must maintain workplace safety and follow the written policies and procedures outlined in the manual, including: • Safety rules and training requirements • Personal protective equipment • Proactive safety inspections • Work-specific safety procedures and incident prevention • Energy control and lockout/tagout practices • Chemical safety and industrial hygiene

Team members participate in regular safety briefings and activities to foster a safety culture throughout the year. We emphasize the safety mantra, “If you see something, say something, and, most importantly, do something” to empower our team members to put safety first, always. Team members are encouraged to stop work immediately if they spot a workplace safety concern. HEALTH AND SAFETY OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY Our HSE&S team is responsible for executing and monitoring the success of our global safety strategy, policies, and procedures. In 2023, we performed a gap analysis of our health services function to identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Based on our findings, we took measures aimed at prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and expanded nursing staff availability across our locations. Our areas of focus in 2024 include streamlining the HSE&S structure and driving a culture of engagement and direct team member involvement around safety.
