APPENDIX / OUR ESG APPROACH APPENDIX TCFD TCFD RECOMMENDATION WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION DISCLOSURES Governance Oversight for ESG Our Board of Directors is committed to overseeing the integration of ESG principles throughout Whirlpool Corporation, as reflected in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provides for Board oversight of our ESG strategy and initiatives, including those related to climate risks and opportunities. In line with the guidelines, the Board reviews and receives updates on our sustainability strategy and key long-term ESG initiatives every year. The Board oversees the integration of ESG principles throughout the company to drive long-term value. Management At the management level, our ESG efforts are led by our Executive Committee and guided by our ESG Councils—one covering Environmental Sustainability, one covering Social and Governance topics. Our ESG Councils are composed of regional business leaders and senior leaders from our key operational and corporate functions. The ESG Councils evaluate our strategic priorities on relevant ESG issues based on results of our ESG Materiality Assessment and input from our ESG Task Force, a cross-functional team that embeds individuals and leaders from all core functions of the business. To further strengthen our ESG governance structure and integration into our business, we named a Senior Vice President, Communications, Public Affairs and Sustainability to join the Executive Leadership team and report directly to our Chairman and CEO. Whirlpool Corporation’s Corporate Controller and Principal Accounting Officer is accountable for reporting to the EC and the Board of Directors on ESG matters, including climate change-related issues and financial impacts. Managing Climate Risks The ESG Councils are supported by the ESG Task Force, a cross-functional team that embeds individuals and leaders from all areas of the business. The Task Force is responsible for planning, communication, education, prioritization and reporting around all ESG matters. Specific to climate change, we have set a net zero target on Scopes 1 & 2 and a target on Scope 3 products in use below 2°C. The ESG Councils continue to monitor emerging risks and opportunities related to emissions, renewable energy, recycling, new regulatory actions, materials, end of life, and the connected grid infrastructure. Climate risks due to extreme weather events and its impacts on our value chain were a specific focus to address in 2021 and will continue to be a priority. Emerging topics such as carbon taxes, biodiversity, water, closed loops and supply chain resiliency, net-zero homes, and environmental design, including life cycle assessments, are all areas that are continually monitored by our dedicated sustainability team. The role of assessing risks and opportunities resides with the Enterprise Risk Management and Sustainability functions. Our Sustainability team works with internal stakeholders from multiple functions to monitor environmental metrics and promote accountability on an ongoing basis for achieving our science-based emissions reduction goals and mitigating risks.
