Liberty Tire Recycling 2023 ESG Report

Liberty Tire Recycling | 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 21 ENGAGING PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES We acknowledge that the manual nature of many roles presents a challenge for our workforce. To address this, Liberty Cares, a committee of engaged employees, works closely with our human resources team to enhance employee engagement and retention. While we are proud of our progress, we recognize that continuous improvement is key. We value the mutual dependency and respect at the core of our relationship with employees. Our 98% completion rate for performance reviews over the past two years underscores our commitment to open communication and feedback. We remain dedicated to cultivating a respectful, transparent, and supportive work environment for all of our employees. To ensure compliance and fairness, Liberty conducts regular Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) audits. Our payroll system is designed to automatically flag any instances where wages might fall below the required minimum, ensuring immediate corrective action. This system ensures we uphold our commitment to legal compliance and employee welfare. Additionally, while we strive to maintain comprehensive wage records, it is important to note that Liberty Tire Recycling does not currently track wages for workers who are not direct employees, as they are compensated through contracted agencies. We acknowledge this omission and are continuously working with our contract labor partners towards enhancing our wage tracking and transparency efforts. Our dedication to fair compensation reflects our broader commitment to creating a supportive and equitable workplace, where every employee is valued and fairly rewarded for their contributions.
