Liberty Tire Recycling | 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 17 OUR COMPANY ESG GOALS Fleet Efficiency Improve fleet efficiency by 30% by 2032: We began tracking and reporting greenhouse gas emissions using Adapt™ technology in 2022. Understanding that our starting point was crucial, we recognized that to truly improve fleet efficiency, it required more than emissions tracking. This led us to select the Samsara connected platform in 2023. Samsara provides a holistic view of our fleet, enabling initiatives focused on optimizing driver behaviors to improve fuel efficiency and reduce idle time, as well as improve asset utilization and route efficiency. We will begin collecting data in January 2024 to use as our baseline year from which to track our progress towards our fleet efficiency goal. We will reach this goal through various initiatives including alternative fuels, U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) compliance, route optimization, fuel efficiency, idle time reductions, and driver training. Energy Intensity Reduce energy intensity by 25% by 2032: Energy efficiency gains will be measured by kilowatt hours (kWh) per ton of recycled rubber material. We are using 2022 as our baseline year to measure progress towards this goal. To reduce our energy intensity, we are focused on production efficiencies, compressed air management, peak demand, power factor, and LED lighting upgrades. In 2023, we began a series of 3rd party energy audits at our production facilities to evaluate how energy is used and identify new opportunities for improving efficiency, reducing costs and minimizing our environmental impacts.
