18 ISSUED: NOV. 2021 Reduce Waste Sent to Landfill Altria's companies implement waste management programs at our offices and production facilities to manage business waste, production waste, chemical waste and solid waste. This includes waste reduction and recycling programs to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill. In 2019 and 2020, we had a large increase in waste sent to landfill due to renovation and construction of our headquarters facility. Nearly 80% of waste generated from this project was recycled or beneficially reused. With the completion of our headquarters remodel in 2021 we expect to resume progress toward our 2030 target. Additionally, our companies work to reduce waste in alignment with business risks and opportunities. For example, in February 2021, the Texas ice storm cut off power to the petrochemical industry and disrupted the plastic resin supply that USSTC uses in smokeless tobacco packaging. Texas produces much of the world's petrochemical products, so the ice storm posed a risk for many manufacturers who rely on plastic. Our business inventory practice is to maintain a safety stock of resin and moist smokeless tobacco cans, but this supply was lower than normal because of compounding supply issues from COVID-19, hurricanes and other weather events from 2020. At the time, our procurement team worried that running out of resin — and therefore cans — was a real possibility. A cross-functional business continuity team worked diligently to mitigate the risk. They followed established continuity plans and explored innovative solutions based on the unprecedented disruption. One solution identified packaging waste created in the manufacturing process that could be reclaimed and reused. While the team was able to find a new resin supplier, reclaiming previously wasted cans is still an opportunity we are exploring and holds great promise to meet the future needs of the business and support our waste reduction targets. Note: In 2019 and 2020, we had a large increase in waste due to renovation and construction at our headquarters location. Approximately 80% of waste generated from this project was recycled or beneficially reused. 2030 86.8 79.5 21.0 2 7. 9 2019 2020 2018 2017 0 100 Millions of Pounds Target: <20.9 2030 Target: Reduce waste sent to landfill by 25% Waste to Landfill
