23 SOCIAL IMPACT EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING We seek to keep our workforce up-to-date on safety policies, procedures, and expectations. In fiscal 2021, we made important updates and additions to our curriculum: BBS MANAGEMENT AWARENESS TRAINING: To further support the BBS program, the BBS Management Awareness training course was revised and made available online for employees in management roles. EHS FUNDAMENTALS FOR LEADERSHIP: We launched a new online EHS Fundamentals training course that provides employees in a supervisory or management role with a better understanding of the Company’s EHS+S policies and practices. SAFETY CAMPAIGNS PROMOTE ACTIVE CARING Our global EHS+S teams run campaigns throughout the year to highlight specific safety initiatives for employees. Examples include: • Monthly tip sheets were created and delivered to Global Retail employees highlighting safety topics such as fire preparedness, ladder and step stool safety, and avoidance of “struck by” injuries. • During ergonomic awareness month in October, safety tips were shared throughout our various working environments. • For Safety Month in June, safety resources were promoted through various channels. We also invited all employees to share a caring moment or a safety tip via a dedicated email account. SAFETY IN ACTION SUPPLY CHAIN The Estée Lauder Companies manufacturing * sites have attained ISO 14001 certification, meeting rigorous standards in support of sustainability efforts. In addition to adhering to our Company’s environmental policies, our manufacturing, packaging, and distribution facilities have implemented our Environmental Safety Management System. In fiscal 2021, the ISO 14001 status of the entire Company and three sites were recertified: Blaine (Minnesota) Manufacturing; Whitman Laboratories (United Kingdom); and Oevel (Belgium) Manufacturing. Additionally, five Environmental and Safety System Assessment audits were completed for the Blaine Manufacturing; Melville (New York) Manufacturing; Oevel Manufacturing; Whitman Laboratories; and Lachen (Switzerland) Manufacturing facilities. We installed new fleet management systems on numerous powered industrial trucks (e.g., forklifts) across our manufacturing and distribution sites in fiscal 2021. These systems improve safety for both drivers and pedestrians while also increasing productivity using state-of-the-art technology. Additionally, gates and guardrails were installed in many sites to further protect pedestrians in work areas where powered industrial trucks are present. RETAIL “Safety Crowns” is an awards program that recognizes our freestanding North American stores that meet and exceed certain safety metrics over a designated time period. Metrics include completing monthly safety checklists, sharing monthly safety topics with on-site employees, and providing feedback on safety to the corporate safety team. In addition, our employees continue to proactively lead on safety issues in their workplaces. In some of our retail stores, field leaders have organized a safety committee to provide guidance to staff on safety policies and procedures, regulated waste, and training compliance.
