A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
I am pleased to present this update to Ingevity's latest sustainability report.
Looking to tomorrow, we are intently focused on growth and view the inherently sustainable nature of our products as a key business strategy to reach our goals. At Ingevity, sustainability isn't a buzzword, tactic or short-lived trend. Beyond serving as a primary business driver, it's who we are and the legacy we'll leave behind. The renewable nature of our raw materials and the significant environmental benefits of our technologies in use give us a competitive edge as we embrace the global imperative to minimize our carbon footprint. We are committed to quantifying the superior quality and value our solutions provide, ultimately showing how Ingevity's efforts have significantly improved our world.
Throughout 2020 and 2021, we have faced myriad challenges due to COVID-19. I'm immensely proud of how our employees came together, day after day, to overcome obstacles, create value for customers and shareholders, and continue to do what we do best: imagine new possibilities. We advanced our four sustainability goals focused on building accountability for our environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts. And perhaps equally as important, we advanced our IngeviWay culture and further promoted a way of working that is increasingly rooted in and guided by ESG principles.
We believe deeply in safeguarding the health of our planet for future generations and we're well suited to play an important role in the global race to lower harmful emissions. Ingevity's purpose to purify, protect and enhance remains paramount as we work to ensure our longevity by building on our strong reputation as
a customer-focused company capable of solving difficult challenges while delivering top-quartile financial performance.
Whether you're an investor, supplier, customer or neighbor in the communities where we are proud to operate, we hope you find value in this update and thank you for your ongoing interest in Ingevity.
Sincerely,
John Fortson
Chief Executive Officer

WHO WE ARE
At Ingevity, we believe each one of us plays a role in contributing to a sustainable future. Our purpose to purify, protect and enhance the world is at
the core of all we do. It is manifested in the environmental benefits delivered by our products, demonstrated in
the continuous improvement and efficiency of our manufacturing, reflected in our social, diversity and governance principles, and echoes in the philanthropic initiatives in the communities where we live, work and play. We continue to build on our heritage of developing technologies that make the air we all breathe cleaner, the roads we drive on safer and smoother, everyday plastics biodegrade faster, and crops grow healthier and fuller. Many aspects of life changed throughout 2020 but what remains constant is Ingevity's focus on positively impacting our planet, the people who live here and how
we deliver value to stakeholders. Our sustainability report update highlights just some of the ways the Ingevity team enhanced our world in 2020 by embracing challenges and continuing to advance, one novel idea and solution at a time.
