Liberty Tire Recycling | 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 20 22% FEMALES in management ENGAGING PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES Our Workforce Overview At Liberty Tire Recycling, we recognize that a diverse workforce fuels innovation, productivity, and success. In 2023, our team of 3,513 employees (including 396 temporary workers) continued to evolve, with increased tenure rates, improved retention, a higher percentage of female plant managers, and a workforce that is younger and more diverse overall. We are proud of the talented individuals who are propelling our company into a future of growth and innovation. Employee tenure is a valuable asset, bringing extensive experience, industry knowledge, mentorship, and strong relationships. We are proud that over 40% of our corporate and plant managers have been with the company for more than ten years, far exceeding the U.S. average of 27%. 1 This long-term commitment is a testament to the positive and supportive culture we foster at Liberty. We believe tenure embodies our ESG values: a safe work environment, engaged employees, a thriving business, and policies that promote fairness, inclusion, and accountability. While according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics in 2020, the waste management and remediation industry has historically had low female representation, at 15.5%, 1 we are committed to our efforts to increase the number of women at Liberty, currently at 10%. In 2023, however, we saw a significant increase in the percentage of female plant managers, rising from 16% in 2022 to 22%. We are excited to share the inspiring stories of several of these women leaders later in this report. In 2023, Liberty Tire Recycling achieved a significant 10% reduction in employee turnover, bringing our rate down to 51%. This reflects our dedicated efforts to foster a positive and supportive work environment, which is essential for both employee satisfaction and our overall sustainability goals. Notably, our Southeast, Rockies, and IMC Outdoor Living divisions achieved remarkable turnover reductions of 21%, 24%, and 28%, respectively. 1. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/tenure.pdf | Table 3 2. https://www.bls.gov/oes/2020/may/naics3_562000.htm
