HUMAN RIGHTS

The human rights of our employees and employees of our business partners are respected across our organization in line with international standards, including the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Our approach to managing human rights in our organization and across our supply chain is outlined in our Human Rights Policy, which applies to 100% of our operations. We also conduct internal assessments to evaluate actual and potential risks, as required by national and international laws and regulations.

HUMAN RIGHTS, MITIGATION AND MANAGEMENT

Carpenter Technology is committed to conducting our business in an ethical, legal, and socially responsible manner. To that end, Carpenter Technology includes human rights risks in its regular business risk assessments under the oversight of executive leaders and Board members. Identified risks include the health and safety of our employees, the environmental impact of our operations, and maintaining an ethical supply chain.

While the risk of human rights impact within our operations and supply chain are low, we actively monitor and manage these areas with programs across Environmental, Health and Safety, Procurement, and Compliance.

Our assessment identified the following areas within our operations and supply chain with potential impacts on human rights:

Health and Safety: Safety is our #1 Core Value and highest priority. We have a managed safety program with risk identification processes and procedures to ensure our employees remain safe. For more information about our managed safety program, read our Safety page.

Environmental Impact: Producing metal is an energy-intensive process. We recognize the environmental impact our operations can have on our communities and beyond and address our impact through a managed sustainability program. To learn more about our environmental management approach and sustainability efforts, read our Environmental Stewardship page.

Supply Chain Management: We are committed to conducting our business in an ethical, legal, and socially responsible manner and expect our suppliers to do the same. Carpenter Technology is proud to create products that contain as much recycled or reclaimed material as possible, and source from suppliers that align with our sustainability mission, including our dedication to human rights. Our expectations for our suppliers are outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct.

In 2022, Carpenter Technology introduced a Supplier Code of Conduct, requiring all suppliers and vendors to conduct their business with Carpenter Technology's high ethical standards, respect for fundamental human rights based on internationally recognized standards, and respect for environmental practices in line with applicable environmental laws and regulations worldwide. We are engaging with our suppliers around these topics.
