ENVIRONMENTAL / OUR ESG APPROACH ENVIRONMENTAL / TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION INCLUSIVE OF DESIGN FOR ENVIRONMENT Since our products touch water and food, we will continue to seek solutions and set goals for reformulated plastics materials that maintain our high standard of quality and safety for our products in all regions. 0.1% which are subject to Substances of Concern in Products (SCIP) reporting. The global Critical Materials Management (CMM) team coordinates and monitors the Restricted Material List. Suppliers are required to adhere to our Restricted Material List and report on banned, restricted and monitored substances of concern. The Restricted Material List is woven into all in-scope supplier contracts and parts approval processes, and is updated annually to reflect new regulations and customer requirements. In 2021, by forming close partnerships across our supply chain, we fully deployed our Product Stewardship tool globally, achieving our previously reported goal to request full material disclosure from 100% of our suppliers. The tool allowed over 43,000 compliance requests to be generated to over 1,200 suppliers around the world. Each request included the opportunity for suppliers to engage with our Full Material Disclosure (FMD) survey. After deployment, we Substances & Materials of Concern We are actively minimizing the presence of chemicals and materials that are considered harmful to the environment in the products we manufacture. As part of this initiative, we are taking steps to end the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in all new products. Significant progress on this goal has been made through newly designed PVC-free consoles and other aesthetic components launching in select new Maytag laundry and Whirlpool dishwashers in 2022. Additionally, Whirlpool Corporation is actively tracking the use of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) in products sold in the EU. SVHCs are chemicals and substances that have been proposed for further requirements for authorization within the EU. Tracking of these substances has been accomplished through our Critical Material Management process and through targeted surveys to enable collaboration with key suppliers to identify methods for reducing our dependence on SVHCs, in particular those above continued to see encouraging signs of participation from our suppliers. Every year the tool is enhanced to simplify supplier functionality and data entry, with the goal of improving user experience and data quality. Data collected through the online tool demonstrates chemical compliance; however, as the database continues to grow, it will enable bolder design requirements. The global inventory is the foundation for our dematerialization efforts, alternative material sourcing plan and chemical/material phase-out strategies. We believe that arming our engineers, designers and suppliers with robust data will promote sustainable, Whirlpool Corporation / 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 30 Whirlpool Corporation / 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 30
