EMPLOYEE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELL-BEING Overview Strong employee health, safety, and well-being practices are crucial to establishing a sustainable business. To this end, we have implemented best-in-class health and safety initiatives at our global manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and offices to reinforce our commitment to top-level Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) performance. Each facility within our organization complies with all applicable statutory requirements
for its respective country and region such as the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and the Canadian Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (SOR/86-304).
