about our Planet.becauseWhen it comes to measuring environmental practices, one common method
is to ask whether a company complies with all environmental regulations
i h i i d Whil li i id d bgoverning their industry. While compliance is considered by some a
low threshold, voluntary compliance and operating well within state standards
remains an objective way to assess a company's environmental performance.
We pride ourselves in our clean operations that stay within the regulatory standards wherever we operate.
We achieve this by ensuring our environmental, safety, risk and regulatory
h l l i d d hteams are current on the latest regulations, and empowered to change
our operations based on new or emerging standards
and best practices in our industries.
POLLUTION PREVENTION AND MINIMIZING ENVIRONMENTAL HARM. We strive to improve operations and lessen our environmental impact,
embracing new methods to eliminate and reduce emissions

SUSTAINABLE USE AND DISPOSAL OF MANUFACTURING WASTEOF MANUFACTURING WASTE Manufacturing operations create waste. While Elkay is no exception, we’re
committed to eliminating waste at the source, and finding creative ways to
ensure operating by‐products do not wind up in landfills. Raw materials not
fully utilized in manufacturing are recycled. Finished goods not deemed
suitable for shipment to customers due to minor blemishes in the finish, etc.suitable for shipment to customers due to minor blemishes in the finish, etc.

local dealers to be refurbished, repurposed or recycled.
PRODUCTS THAT PROTECT OUR PLANETProducts like Elkay's EZH2O helps reduce the number of plastic water bottles
h l df ll ll d h l kthat go into landfills. Every EZH2O installed in a school, gym, park,
or public building has an exponential impact on our planet, eliminating

about the Future."We are in business forever" is often
considered the most important of p f
Elkay's values. It serves as a litmus
test for new strategies, policies and
practices. Will pursuing this idea help
Elkay achieve our vision of being in
business forever? If the answer is no, f f ,
more often than not, the proposed
direction is not pursued.
This value requires Elkay's leaders to
take planning for the long term very
seriously. Whether adjusting our
