Health and Safety

Carlisle's Safety Incident Report Rate was already better than the industry standard, but in our continuous improvement culture, better wasn't good enough. In 2023, we recorded an OSHA Incident Rate of .67, compared to the industry average of over 3. Path to Zero represents our commitment to creating the safest possible work environment and features the goal of zero accidents and zero injuries.

403 Occupational Health and Safety

403-1 Occupational Health and Safety Management System

Carlisle's environmental, health, and safety management (EHS) systems provide an organized approach to EHS management. Carlisle's EHS management system is modeled on international and Occupational Safety and Health Administration ('OSHA') standards. The EHS management system itself is embedded within the Carlisle Operating System. COS is using complete near-miss and incident reporting, strong employee engagement, and enhanced problem-solving processes to realize meaningful improvement in our safety results.

403-2 Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Incident Investigation

Every Carlisle location has a safety leader or primary point of contact. The site leadership team acts as the safety committee and meets regularly to review safety events, safety performance, consider and monitor safety improvement ideas, conduct safety inspections, coordinate with their business operations and safety leaders, and monitor changes in processes or procedures that could have safety implications. Time is specifically set aside for the purpose of observing safety behaviors, conditions, and practices throughout the facility. Site Leaders engage directly with people performing work within these areas to understand and ideate how to improve safety performance. Site Leaders are also expected to ensure completion of the Monthly EHS Conditions Self-Assessment for their facility. For the weekly and monthly conditions assessments, observations and improvement opportunities are tracked to resolution.

While we problem-solve near-miss and actual incidents, we focus on leading indicators to drive proactive improvement. As part of their Standard Work, leaders perform visual sweeps to ensure the intended condition is maintained and abnormalities are corrected. Safety performance and action plans are monitored through Visual Management.

Everyone is required to report any observed unsafe condition and near-miss, injury, and property damage events to Carlisle (and your primary employer, if applicable) so they can be investigated. Reporting these situations is important because a problem cannot be solved unless it is known to exist. Investigations focus on understanding what happened so proper corrective and preventive actions can be taken to avoid the same or similar situation in the future.

403-4 Worker Participation, Consultation, and Communication on Occupational Health and Safety

he Carlisle Operating System (COS) provides the mechanism, time, and resources necessary for every Carlisle employee to participate in EHS activities such as planning, performance evaluation, direct observation, and improvement. Timely access to EHS information is available to all. COS includes a means of assessing risk, reviewing daily performance, and nonconformities, and a process to submit individual ideas for improvement.

The means through which any person can engage in the EHS management system include safety committees, participation in risk assessments, near-miss and incident reporting, problem solving and improvement project teams, kaizen, the Tiered Accountability process, and general COS implementation and ongoing maturity progression.

Every Carlisle location has a safety leader or primary point of contact. Site leadership team acts as the safety committee and meets regularly to review safety events, safety performance, consider and monitor safety improvement ideas, conduct safety inspections, coordinate with their business operations and safety leaders, and monitor changes in processes or procedures that could have safety implications.

403-5 Worker Training on Occupational Health and Safety

Training content is developed and delivered by competent personnel or through a competent process, such as a learning management system. Carlisle employees receive both universal and specific certification training. All persons working for Carlisle receive awareness-level training through the Carlisle Path to Zero Safety Handbook. Topics include the Leadership Commitment Policy, near-miss and accident reporting, the relationship of COS and EHS, safe behaviors and the critical states of mind, Personal Protective Equipment, bloodborne pathogens, hazard communications, cranes and hoists, ergonomics, ladder safety, Management of Change, and the six 'life critical' programs (Lock-Tag-Try, Confined Space Entry, Machine Guarding, Hot Work, Electrical Safety, and Fall Protection).

Training and learning effectiveness are evaluated through in-course tests and on-the-job evaluations for competency. Carlisle maintains training records for an amount of time deemed necessary by the business or by regulation. Carlisle also retains evidence of competency including education, training, qualifications, and/or other experience for all employees.

403-6 Promotion of Worker Health

Carlisle is committed to helping employees prevent illnesses and achieve wellness. Carlisle offers a wellness engagement to support employees physically, mentally, and emotionally through early intervention and maintenance of medical conditions. Carlisle also offers financial assistance by offering employee incentives to participate in the wellness programs. Employee benefits include health assessment, annual wellness exams, preventative screenings, support of personal health goals, and support of self-interest wellness activities.

403-7 Prevention and Mitigation of Occupational Health and Safety Impacts Directly Linked by Business Relationships

Carlisle expects compliance from suppliers to Carlisle's environmental, health, and safety systems and procedures. Carlisle evaluates and benchmarks supplier conformance using audits, risk assessment surveys, historical performances, and scorecard reviews. In cases of non-conformance, corrective action is taken to resolve issues that create negative occupational health and safety impacts.

Climate and Environment

In 2022, Carlisle announced a commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. We have proposed near-term greenhouse gas reduction targets through the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Setting near-term targets is the first step to setting a long-term net-zero target with SBTi. The methods and reduction scenarios Carlisle has adopted in the near-term targets are aligned with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard. In 2023, we received validation of our scope 1 & 2 absolute and scope 3 intensity targets, which have been determined to be in alignment with a 1.5°C trajectory aligned with the Paris Agreement, the most ambitious pathway offered by SBTi. We continue our commitment to being a responsible environmental stakeholder, as we have for over 100 years, by delivering products that improve the energy efficiency of buildings while reducing emissions from our manufacturing facilities and reducing the volume of construction materials in landfills. With Carlisle’s employees engaged and momentum growing, we are confident Carlisle can make a meaningful contribution to creating a more sustainable future for us all.

Carlisle continues to be a leader in the construction materials industry. We recognize that buildings are evolving, and their improved energy efficiency is pivotal to the world meeting our environmental goals. With many product and service innovations underway, Carlisle is positioned to address trends impacting the building space such as product circularity, energy conservation, localization, emerging material technologies, construction labor efficiency, evolving building use, technology proliferation, and job site transformation. In addition, COS and our culture of continuous improvement will allow deeper technology integration alongside gains in operational efficiency and product quality.

302-4 Reduction of energy consumption

In 2023, we eliminated nearly 2,000 metric tons of carbon emissions from direct operations through the implementation of Energy Conservation Measures at our facilities such as solar power and LED lighting.

As a leader in the building products industry, Carlisle extends our commitment to sustainability beyond structures with a five-year, $50 million plan to convert over 500 forklifts across 50 sites to high-performance, maintenance-free, battery-powered models. In 2023, we took the first step, with 50 new forklifts delivered to our manufacturing sites in Sikeston, MO, Montgomery, NY, and Smithfield, PA. We will continue to replace over 100 forklifts each year until the entire fleet has been upgraded. Every electric forklift conversion saves approximately 10 metric tons of CO2 and CO annually, along with significant fuel cost savings, which contribute to our carbon footprint reduction. By embracing electric forklifts and implementing energy-efficient practices, we can drive toward a greener tomorrow, where material handling and sustainability go hand in hand.

LED lighting continues to be a principal energy savings opportunity in the manufacturing environment. According to the United States Department of Energy, LED lights use at least 75% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than their incandescent counterparts. As part of our continual push towards energy efficiency in our factories, Carlisle saw multiple factories install LED lighting in 2023, including our Chino, CA EPS facility. In addition to decommissioning and removing outdated production equipment, Chino installed LED lighting in production, warehouse, and office spaces, realizing over 30% energy reduction in 2023, equivalent to almost 500k kWh and 350 mtCO2e.

We are also committed to converting our facilities to ISO 50001, which elevates energy efficiency levels to a higher level. We have begun the process of readying our sites for ISO 50001 implementation by installing energy meters in our most intensive facilities. Through ISO 50001, we will continue to refine and elevate our energy efficiency initiatives to promote best energy practices and improve overall energy performance.

306 Waste

306-1 Waste Generation and Significant Waste-related Impacts

Carlisle uses a broad range of minerals and other extractives as raw materials to develop and manufacture products. We aim to reduce solid waste and recycle materials recovered from manufacturing processes and construction projects. Source reduction is practiced through continuous process improvements. Consideration of the environmental impacts of a product and its manufacturing processes during the planning stages of a new product or a significant design update is critical to Carlisle's long-term environmental sustainability.

In 2023 Carlisle surpassed our goal of diverting 1 million tons of waste through our major recycling programs. To extend our impact further, we have set a new goal of diverting 2 million tons of waste by 2030.

In April 2023 we took a significant step forward in our efforts to repurpose our end-of-life waste by launching the Rooftop Takeoff Program. By partnering with contractors and architects to cover the cost to recycle membrane and insulation from rooftop replacement jobs, Carlisle was able to divert over 1 million square feet of roofing material from landfills. Contractors who utilize the program are awarded a certificate from Carlisle highlighting their contribution to this initiative. We continue to explore additional avenues for upcycling our end-of-life materials and we are engaging our customers to establish the program’s presence in additional channels. We believe the program has the potential to make a significant difference in the way our industry views roof replacement waste.

306-2 Management of Significant Waste-Related Impacts

Hazardous waste streams are monitored and disposed of through appropriate channels to comply with local laws and regulations. Waste-related data are collected and managed for all global sites through a center-led process. Waste-related data is used to benchmark performance and identify significant improvement opportunities to minimize the environmental impact of outlet sources.
