ENVIRONMENTAL / OUR ESG APPROACH ENVIRONMENTAL / SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS Site-Specific Actions to Reduce Waste For the purpose of improving our waste management practices and continuing our alignment to the UL ECVP 2799 Zero Waste to Landfill standard, Whirlpool Corporation plans to start 2022 with a pre-assessment at one site in each region and a training for all global sites to ensure that each facility is equipped to meet ZWtL Gold or Platinum level by the end of 2022. As the deadline for sites to reach ZWtL Gold or Platinum level approaches, Whirlpool Corporation is looking ahead for a new level of waste achievement on the journey. Our sites have set internal targets to reduce the total volume of waste generated at the site, and each site is working to shift from recycling to reuse, reduce and reject rather than wasting materials at all. Such initiatives are guided by the WCM Environmental pillar. In 2021, the Whirlpool Plastics site in Mexico achieved the ZWtL Gold level when they increased their waste diverted from landfill from 92.2% to 97.3%. The site has focused on reusing, reducing and rejecting to lower their waste to landfill and overall waste together. In Latin America , 92% of the inbound raw material packaging in the Joinville plant are returnable (plastic and metal boxes), and the site also implemented a process to reuse plastic and cardboard packaging internally—annually, 48 tons of plastic/cardboard are reused. Our Findlay, Ohio site reduced waste by collecting plastic bottle caps for the Miracle League of Findlay. 192 pounds of bottle caps were collected at the plant, then melted down to create ADA compliant benches for the Miracle League park in Findlay, Ohio. Zero Waste Mindset In Action At the Marion, Ohio plant, water fountains were disabled to help protect workers from COVID-19. As a result, the site noticed a huge increase in plastic water bottles in both recycling and landfill collection bins. While a majority of the bottles were recycled, the Environmental pillar team at Marion was able to save around $3,000 and over 80,000 pounds of waste by installing COVID-safe, touch- free water fountains and providing reusable bottles for the site employees.
