GOVERNANCE / OUR ESG APPROACH Responsible Sourcing At Whirlpool Corporation, we are committed to Winning with Integrity, and we extend this principle to not only our employees, but also to those who we do business with. We hold ourselves to high standards, and we expect our suppliers and third parties acting on behalf of Whirlpool Corporation to do business the right way as well. Within our Responsible Sourcing program, one of the pillars is focused on driving a strong compliance program to help protect Whirlpool Corporation from any ethical compliance risks: Advancing Our Responsible Sourcing Program Our Responsible Sourcing programs help us look at what we purchase beyond the more traditional aspects of cost, quality and delivery. This means we consider ethics, labor rights and social and environmental issues when sourcing products and services across all purchasing categories and regions. Our goal is to minimize negative impacts and make a positive contribution to the businesses, people and communities we support through ethical purchasing practices. This program is managed by a team of global procurement professionals working in collaboration with our ESG Task Force, legal, ethics and compliance, sustainability, global product organization and inclusion and diversity teams. SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT Mitigate risks to Whirlpool Corporation through robust regular monitoring, governance and audits of our supply base to help ensure compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct which formalizes the key principles under which our suppliers are required to operate. THIRD-PARTY DUE DILIGENCE (TPDD) Lower the risk exposure of working with high-risk third parties by running independent background checks to help ensure the suppliers we do business with are reputable. CONFLICT MINERALS Ensuring Whirlpool Corporation’s compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act and SEC requirements. Annual campaign to identify and report smelters and refiners in our supply chain sourcing 3TG minerals (tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold) from conflict zones in Africa.
