Agenda
This biennial Corporate Sustainability Report ("Sustainability Report") dated June 2025, covers Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries ("Spectrum Brands", "SPB", "our" or "we") since 2021 and our statistical performance for the period starting on October 2022 to September 2023 ("Performance Period") and beyond.
This Sustainability Report is intended to demonstrate our commitment to:
operate our businesses responsibly and sustainably;
disclose our policies, processes and positions that contribute to our successes;
provide data and metrics to support sustainability topics and targets across our trusted brands; and
provide clarity regarding our environmental sustainability strategy, approach, and priorities for the future.
In addition to our Performance Period data, this Sustainability Report contains information about the Company's efforts since October 2023. In many areas, the time period for the data is specifically identified. In following sections where not specifically identified, the data contained is from our Fiscal Year 2024 ("FY24"), which is the period of October 2023 to September 2024:
Energy Consumption (pg. 25)
Greenhouse Gas Emissions (pgs. 27-28)
Water Consumption (pg. 30)
Waste Reduction (pg. 32)
Environmental, Health and Safety Incident Reporting (pg. 47)
While we strive to provide the most current and accurate data, such information is not always available to us.
Unless otherwise noted, the information and data in this Sustainability Report primarily pertains to Spectrum Brands' products and our owned and/or operated sites, including
manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, corporate and office locations worldwide. Accordingly, much of our environmental sustainability and greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions data is limited to Scope 1 and Scope 2 data involving our direct operations. That said, we have spent significant resources and effort to expand our data collection efforts to our Scope 3 data involving our supply chain. Where available, we have included this Scope 3 data in the report and are excited about our plans to share even more comprehensive Scope 3 data in future reports.
In this Sustainability Report, we have aligned our Environmental, Social & Governance ("ESG") reporting metrics to the Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI") and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB") standards. An appendix of how we are reporting against each can be found on page 68.

Company Statement
Thank you for your interest in our 2025 Sustainability Report! Consistent with our mission statement "To Make Living Better at Home," this Sustainability Report highlights our commitment to creating a healthier and more sustainable future for our employees, our partners, our consumers, and our communities. We are proud to deliver market-leading brands and products and we take pride in working day in and day out to earn the loyalty and trust of our customers and consumers. We believe our sustainability efforts are key to continually earning our consumers' trust with each product purchased.
As set forth in our ESG vision statement, we are committed to a "process of continuous improvement for the benefit of our consumers, customers, employees, investors, and the planet by integrating ESG into what we do." We are steadfast to this commitment, as we invest in operational efficiencies to reduce the natural resources we use and protect and preserve the environment for generations to come. During FY24, we achieved an 18% reduction in our owned facilities' energy consumption normalized for revenue, and a five (5%) percent reduction in water withdrawal compared to levels just three years prior.
Over the past few years, we have completed several energy efficiency and water reduction projects at our manufacturing facilities, implemented sustainable packaging solutions across many of our brands, and embedded sustainability attributes in our new product design processes to ensure sustainability is a core consideration when designing new products.
We also continue to make significant effort to improve the sustainability of our product designs and improving sustainability throughout our supply chain. In addition to new product and packaging designs to reduce the use of virgin materials and increase the percentage of recycled materials, we are also taking actions to address and eliminate concerns regarding "forever chemicals," deforestation, and non-re-cyclable packaging materials.
We continue to support our communities through charitable and volunteer efforts. As a global supplier of pet products, Spectrum Brands is dedicated to supporting recovery efforts and easing the burdens faced by families and their pets during these challenging times.
In response to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, Spectrum Brands donated over $200,000 worth of products for recovery workers and people and pets who were affected by the incredible destruction of this natural disaster.
Additionally, following the wildfires in California, we donated $40,000 in products to the Pasadena Humane Society, which has been a vital resource for animals affected by the fires.
While this is just a small drop in the vast amount of help required in these affected areas, I am proud of our teams' swift action and commitment to servant leadership-not only within our organization but also in the public sphere.
Finally, we continue to invest in our employee well-being and engagement. Our efforts are showing positive results, including the achievement of historically low recordable and lost-time injury rates across all of our facilities, globally. Consistent with our servant leadership culture, we have enhanced education about our Employee Assistance Programs, doubled down on our efforts for belonging and inclusion, established a number of inclusion networks, and increased leadership training for career development.
In everything that we do, we are driven by our values of trust, accountability, and collaboration to serve our mission To Make Living Better At Home.
"We can never lose sight that consumer trust is key to our success. This trust can only be earned by providing quality and sustainable products and ensuring we are a good corporate citizen to our employees, communities, and partners."
