We want our people to bring their best selves to work, every day. It is a key component of our 2025 Sustainability & Social Impact Strategy and an expression of living our Company’s purpose as a caring, innovative growth company reimagining a healthier future for all people, their pets and our planet. We want our people to bring their best selves to work, every day. The well-being of our approximately 33,800 employees demands both a macro and micro view. We are building a supportive culture and a suite of meaningful programs and services that addresses the diverse needs of Colgate People, while creating individual solutions to unique situations. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge us. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the health, safety and well-being o f our employees and their families has been and remains our first priority. We have implemented additional health and safety measures consistent with government recommendations and/or requirements to help ensure employee safety in our offices, production facilities, warehouses and technology centers. These measures may include: health and temperature screening, social distancing and personal protective equipment protocols, hand washing, contract tracing, enhanced cleaning procedures, respirato ry hygiene and education. We have instituted virtual tours of our manufacturing facilities to ensure they have continued to adhere to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. We also engaged in community outreach to educate employees and their fami lies about the dangers of COVID-19. We provided kits to improve their safety, packed with hand sanitizer, rapid tests and more. Through our vaccination education and awareness programs, we identified regions with higher vaccination hesitancy and targeted medical professionals in those locations to communicate the health benefits of vaccines. For areas with less access to vaccinations, we worked with external groups, such as International SOS, for outreach. PAGE 26 2021 SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL IMPACT REPORT
