CONTENTS LETTER FROM NOEL WALLACE LETTER FROM ANN TRACY 2025 SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE DRIVING SOCIAL IMPACT HELPING MILLIONS OF HOMES PRESERVING OUR ENVIRONMENT Health and Hygiene CARE Packages In 2021, Colgate partnered with CARE to provide health and hygiene CARE packages to over 25,000 people as we worked together to stop the spread of COVID-19. Together we provided strategic grants in five countries to provide and distribute important health care items. The contents of these packages varied by region, but included kits with supplies for personal hygiene, COVID-19 prevention and prevention of gender-based violence, in addition to other medical supplies. Advancing Education Opportunities Access to continuing education plays a large role in developing and improving people’s lives, which is why Colgate is focused on providing these types of opportunities for underserved communities. In 2021, we continued our longstanding support for the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) by sponsoring, for the second year, the UNCF Virtual Walk for Education, where funds raised will assist UNCF's mission of supporting Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Prep for Prep is an organization whose mission is to develop future leaders by creating access for young people of color to first-r ate educational, leadership development and professional opportunities. In 2021, Colgate’s Chairman, President and CEO, Noel Wallace, and other Colgate executives, presented “Leading in Uncertain Times: Lessons for Future Leaders” to students in the program. Colgate has been a partner for Prep for Prep student internships since 1994. Inclusive Oral Health Products In partnership with Penn Dental Medicine, we are working to create a more inclusive and accessible world of dentistry. In celebration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we donated a selection of hum™ Smart Rhythm Sonic Toothbrushes, which, with the support of an app, help patients properly brush their teeth by providing feedback on the duration and frequency of their brushing. Know Your OQ Campaign In 2021, we started a conversation around how oral health affects people’s overall well-being, and how they can take charge of their oral health, known as the KnowYourOQ campaign . This campaign is designed to promote greater und erstanding and provide education on how oral health is linked to both physical and mental health, and what simple steps everyone can take to have a healthy mouth. In the same way that people may know their IQ or EQ for their cognitive and emotional intelligence, Colgate wants people to know their oral health quotient and understand how they can improve their oral care routine. As part of this initiative, starting in 2022, Colgate will commit $100 million over the next five years to address this global health crisis affecting nearly half the world’s population, and help to ensure oral health is integrated into broader public health strategies and responses.
