Liberty Tire Recycling | 2022 Environmental, Social & Governance Report 10 OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY Sustainability at Liberty Tire is woven into our business model of keeping end-of-life tires out of landfills and recycling them into new products. We are the market leader in tire recycling management, annually collecting more than 195 million tires, or 4.3 billion pounds of rubber, and transforming those tires into a variety of recycled products. When we began our sustainability journey, we assembled an ESG Task Force comprised of nine employees from cross-functional areas led by the Senior Vice President of Sustainability to create our initial ESG roadmap. As our strategy matures and we continue to integrate ESG considerations into our business model, we have shifted the responsibility for driving our ESG priorities to our Senior Management team. The Senior Vice President of Sustainability reports ongoing activity and progress to the Executive Team bi-weekly and to the full Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The Board also conducts a comprehensive review of our sustainability performance annually. In 2021, we conducted our first sustainability materiality assessment. We requested feedback from our internal and external stakeholders, including investors, employees, customers, industry NGO’s and business leaders, to identify our most material sustainability topics given our current business operations. The resulting materiality assessment prioritized areas of focus according to the greatest impact on our business and our stakeholders. This year saw the continued evolution of our sustainability efforts. We adopted a company-wide ESG Policy that formally states our commitment to environmental, social, and governance efforts at Liberty Tire. The policy details our approach and identifies existing policies that are relevant to our environmental, social, and governance material topics.
