Hubbell established a threshold for signi昀椀cance of 5% or greater in Hubbell’s total base-year water usage for the company’s rebaseline policy. While our new environmental goals reference a 2022 baseline, we applied this policy to our 2019-2021 historical data to help us track Hubbell’s environmental reduction progress over time. In October 2021, Hubbell initiated the sale of its Commercial and Industrial Lighting business, which was completed in 2022. This divestment triggered our rebaseline policy and our restated historical data re昀氀ects this recalculation. In addition, Hubbell grew its business with acquisitions in the second half of 2022 - PCX Holdings LLC, Ripley Tools, and REF Automation. These acquisitions did not trigger our rebaseline policy for historical data, however these sites are included in our inventory for 2022 onward. 29
