The Brendle Group is committed to conducting its operations conscientiously and mindful of the people and ecosystems that are impacted by its work. We will use four principles to guide our sustainability planning and actions:

• Right Aim We will authentically check our purpose and plans as we pursue sustainability.
• Attention We will give sustainability the attention and resources needed to meet our plans.
• Conviction We are confident that with passion and fervor we will attain our vision, despite day-to-day realities and barriers that may exist.
• Collaboration We recognize sustainability as a highly complex goal that requires a collaborative approach.

By adopting these four principles as policy, we seek to earn the trust and respect of our customers by being accountable for the impacts of our own operations. Likewise, we will encourage our own suppliers to embrace sustainability while we reward higher performers with our business.
