Liberty Tire Recycling | 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 34 At Liberty Tire Recycling, we care about our communities and our employees and show that by supporting the charitable interests of our employees. We believe in being a good neighbor and using our Liberty Tire resources to make our community better. At the end of 2023, we established a companywide committee, Liberty Cares, comprised of 24 employees of all levels from around the U.S. and Canada. Liberty Cares meets bi-weekly and is tasked with developing and implementing quarterly company-wide employee engagement and volunteer events. In 2023, the team began planning for 2024 events including non-profit partnerships, community outreach events, and employee wellness activities.

Playground build Liberty Tire Recycling was proud to donate more than 40,000 pounds of rubber mulch to volunteers from Youth Encouragement Services (YES), the Nashville Predators Foundation empowered by SmileDirectClub, and eight other companies that built a playground to help foster a sense of belonging for around 2,000 kids in Nashville, TN. This is part of a nationwide effort led by KABOOM! to end playspace inequity. This project represents progress in ensuring every kid has a place to play, providing a state-of-the-art playground and long-lasting surfacing for children living in the area to enjoy year after year.
