Sustainability Action Plan (Sustainability Action Plan)

OUR SUSTAINABILITY ACTION PLAN

At GFL, our vision is to be Green For Life. This vision is at the core of our corporate strategy and central to the services we provide to our customers. We implement our vision by providing accessible, cost-effective and sustainable environmental solutions to our customers and the communities we serve. This includes our environmental solutions that help our customers achieve their sustainability goals.

In 2021, we first developed our Sustainability Action Plan as our roadmap to:

• Help our customers avoid GHG emissions through sustainable solutions such as resource recovery and recycling, and the beneficial use of landfill gas.

• Reduce direct GHG emissions from our operations through increased gas capture at our landfills and the use of alternative fuel vehicles in our fleet.

• Increase the sustainability innovations generated from our business by investing in our employees and our entrepreneurial and innovative culture.

Our Sustainability Action Plan also allows us to offer new opportunities to our workforce such as acquiring skills that support the development and operation of new facilities, as well as opportunities to work with our suppliers and contractors to expand our service offerings.

SUSTAINABILITY GOALS AND 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

Our sustainability goals are an important part of our Plan. Our core goals and recent progress are shown below. For more information on Sustainability at GFL, please see our website.

We are working to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, increase our production of renewable energy, and recycle more materials. These actions help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and divert waste from landfills.

Safety and employee engagement are core components of our culture. By protecting our workforce and helping

employees thrive, we create a workplace where employees want to stay and grow throughout their careers.
