Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) We have prepared an inaugural TCFD report to disclose our actions around climate governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets in-line with the recommendations of the TCFD. TCFD Executive Summary DaVita recognizes our responsibility to be an active contributor to global climate efforts, including deep decarbonization and investments in the resiliency of our facilities and communities. We have prepared this TCFD report as part of a company-wide initiative to proactively assess, identify and manage climate-related risks and identify and pursue opportunities to improve operational resiliency. Governance The Nominating and Governance Committee of DaVita’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for oversight of ESG, including climate-related activities. The Board receives reports at least annually on the company’s ESG strategy activities. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board reviews significant risk areas for DaVita, which may include climate-related risks to the extent material. Within management, the ESG Steering Committee oversees all climate-related activities underway within the Energy and Sustainability Department. DaVita’s Business Continuity (BC), Emergency Management (EM), and Facilities teams are responsible for the management of physical risks. See our SASB and TCFD data below for more information on our sustainability initiatives and data. 13 DAVITA.COM/COMMUNITYCARE Strategy DaVita believes it is well positioned to manage through the energy transition necessary to meet global climate goals given that it has adopted approved science-based targets for its Scope 1, 2, and 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Our emissions targets are in line with global commitments that are intended to help the world limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius or less. Through a third party analysis, DaVita has identified important risks for management based on a portfolio risk assessment of our more than 2,800 U.S. and 300 international outpatient dialysis centers (as of 12/31/21) and key supply chain partners: Short Term (0-2 years) Flooding from extreme rain, coastal floods, and hurricanes; wildfires and air quality issues Time Horizon Most Important Physical Risks for Active Management Acute: Extreme weather (e.g., wildfires) Chronic: Sea level rise/coastal flooding and heat waves Medium (2-10) and Long Term (10-30 years) Management DaVita has been proactively managing and measuring GHG emissions for several years, and has management strategies and plans in place to help achieve our emissions reduction targets. Similarly, several years ago EM identified climate-related factors as emerging risks for management to monitor. EM works proactively on issues in the context of climate change, including mitigation of the impact of future emergencies such as water shortages, power outages, and high water events that may be increased in severity by climate change. DaVita uses findings of its climate-related risk assessments to help support active management of climate-related risks. For example, flooding from extreme rain, coastal floods, and hurricanes represents a short-term potential risk. Accordingly we plan to explore flood resilient design options for treatment centers, as well as lower cost interventions such as backflow prevention devices, to determine the effectiveness of these and other strategies. Proactive and comprehensive flood risk management can help reduce missed treatments during severe weather events and help to support continued care for our patients. Metrics and Targets DaVita tracks several climate-related metrics and targets, including approved science-based targets. More detail is available in the metrics and targets section of this report. 1 https://sciencebasedtargets.org/how-it-works 2021 HIGHLIGHTS
