Global Environment, Health and Safety Policy Effective: April 2021 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5181EA3A-2029-4AF3-A5B4-C6651613F18A Our EHS Policy BD Expectations for Suppliers April 2021 Our Expectations for Suppliers The BD Code of Conduct Bringing our values to life Revised and reinstated January 25, 2021 Our Code of Conduct EHS governance At the corporate level, BD has an EHS team led by the VP S&EHS; the VP S&EHS reports to the company’s EVP ISC. Reporting to the VP S&EHS is the senior director, EHS governance and compliance. This individual is responsible for governance and compliance activities, including our company’s internal EHS audit program, remediation, due diligence, mergers and acquisitions, EHS standards and training programs. In addition, this person communicates EHS matters that are relevant to stakeholders throughout the organization and oversees the Global EHS Advisory Council. In FY 2021, we continued to solidify and streamline our standards and practices across 90+ facilities with a focus on sites gained through recent acquisitions. The Global EHS Advisory Council, with representation from all BD businesses, provides a unified direction in establishing global objectives and strong collaboration efforts across the organization to streamline processes and work as one team. EHS management systems To foster continuous improvement of environmental performance at a facility level, BD is implementing ISO 14001-certified environmental management systems EMS at our manufacturing sites around the world. Currently, 45 BD sites have ISO 14001-certified EMS. Most of these sites are manufacturing locations, but HQ offices and some sales offices in Europe are also certified. In total, about 32 percent of BD manufacturing sites are certified to the ISO-14001 EMS standard. In 2022, two additional manufacturing sites, in Puerto Rico and Nebraska, U.S., are in the process of obtaining their certifications. Around two-thirds of these certified locations are part of a group certificate, where we have established standardized procedures and methods for program implementation. This standardized approach allows sites to work together in a collaborative way with extensive sharing and interaction to enhance program effectiveness. For example, all corrective actions are logged and shared with all sites in the respective group certificates to facilitate learning from each other’s experience and to take proactive actions to prevent similar issues from happening at other sites. Furthermore, every EMS-certified site sets environmental improvement objectives on an annual basis, and they are reviewed for progress quarterly. Our plan is to continue ISO 14001 certification of remaining BD manufacturing plants over the coming years. The ISO 50001 energy management standard provides a framework of requirements to measure and use data for better understanding of energy use, set objectives for energy use reduction and continually improve energy management. Many BD facilities have a strong focus on energy management and reduction and are pursuing many aspects of a responsible energy management program. We currently have two facilities, in Spain and Hungary, that have implemented energy management systems that are certified to ISO 50001. All BD manufacturing locations maintain a strong focus on occupational health and safety (OHS) management for injury reduction and prevention. Significant OHS risks associated with our activities are identified and reviewed for elimination and/ or control to minimize their potential effects on our employees. Two BD sites, in Spain and China, are certified to the OHSAS-18001 occupational health and safety management standard. The OHSAS-18001 standard is currently being replaced by ISO-45001, and both of our sites have converted to this new standard. Although our other sites are currently not certified to a third-party OHS management standard, their on-site OHS programs follow many of the elements included in the OHSAS-18001/ISO-45001 standards.
