leaving a positive legacy for our world Ulta Beauty strives to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. We have been implementing sustainability initiatives in our stores, distribution centers and corporate offices for years. At the same time, we recognize that the vast majority of our emissions occur outside of our direct footprint. Today, our retail stores are the focus of our energy reduction efforts. Our Corporate Energy & Sustainability Team focuses on managing energy use and conserving resources across millions of square feet of real estate. The average Ulta Beauty store is approximately 10,000 square feet, with roughly 950 square feet devoted to full-service salon space. Like many other companies, we face the challenge of minimizing our environmental footprint as our business Sustainability in-store and beyond Managing our footprint grows. At the same time, some of the sustainability challenges we face are uniquely tied to our business model—a comprehensive beauty destination with a full-service salon in close proximity to shopping areas. Here are a few of the factors we consider as we manage our stores’ footprint: o Maintaining safe indoor air for all customers even while hairsprays, dyes and other products are in use in our salons o Using adequate and energy-efficient lighting to help all of our products look their best o Managing in-store temperatures, considering changing weather, open- concept store designs and guests who may have wet hair or have removed layers for salon treatments o Making efficient use of water needed for our salon services 2021 ESG Report 30 Environment Product People Introduction Supplemental Data Community
