6 Environmental Risk Management Policy Consistent with Zimmer Biomet’s Mission, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics ( https://www.zimmerbiomet.com/ en/about-us/our-impact.html ), and the Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability (EHSS) vision, we are committed to our policy of conducting business in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner that promotes the health of our employees, customers, community and the environment, specifically fighting climate change. The purpose of our Environmental Risk Management Policy is to implement the principles of the EHSS programs while implementing and sustaining global best practices. Corporate and regional standards exist to support these principles. This policy applies to all locations worldwide and provides uniform guidance for Zimmer Biomet EHSS teams to manage and monitor risk within our global manufacturing and distribution processes. The EHSS Management System delivers six main outcomes, as follows: Compliance We comply with, and often exceed the requirements of, all applicable EHSS laws, regulations, Company EHSS standards and other requirements to which we subscribe related to all EHSS subject matter and risks. We conduct frequent audits and implement best practices to maintain compliance with these requirements. Continuous Improvement Zimmer Biomet establishes EHSS goals, objectives and targets across our global business and strives to continually improve our performance and publicly report on our progress. Our EHSS standards establish controls and promote a positive EHSS culture. Business Integration We integrate EHSS principles into business decisions to proactively ensure the health and safety of our employees and communities, while also promoting environmentally sustainable practices. Specifically, we require that an EHSS evaluation be integrated into product design, manufacturing and distribution business processes and services that will reduce EHSS risks, improve performance throughout our operations, products and packaging across their lifecycle, and promote pollution prevention. Environment & Climate Change To minimize our impact on the environment and address climate change, we minimize waste and emissions, reuse and recycle materials, promote renewable energy use, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and conserve energy and water wherever feasible. Health & Safety Zimmer Biomet EHSS establishes health and safety standards that promote a safe and healthy workplace by striving continuously to reduce hazards and risks to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses. Communication & Education Zimmer Biomet EHSS communicates our Environmental Health and Safety Policy to employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, community and other stakeholders. Zimmer Biomet EHSS standards, procedures and other resources enable employees to implement this policy and share best practices to promote continuous improvement and enhance environmental, health and safety performance.
