EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND SAFETY

The health and safety of our fellow employees is of paramount importance to the culture at Curtiss-Wright. We strive for a track record with best-in-class safety performance and believe that all incidents and accidents that negatively impact human health and safety are preventable. This commitment is reflected in our Environmental, Health and Safety Policy that guides the daily actions of all employees and every level of Curtiss-Wright management. We provide safe and healthy workplaces by proactively identifying and controlling workplace hazards, complying with regulatory requirements, and continuously improving our performance through our One Curtiss-Wright Environmental, Health and Safety Management System Framework.

A key component of our management system framework is to routinely monitor and measure our health and safety performance across all of our global operations. Consistent with the employee health and safety issues defined as material for the Industrial Machinery and Goods industry by the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board, we use the Total Recordable Injury/Illness Rate (TRR), and Days Away, Restricted or Transfer Injury/Illness Rate (DART) to measure and compare our safety performance with median and top quartile industry benchmarks. Our senior business leaders are accountable to the Corporation’s COO for their respective safety statistics and provide monthly updates on their progress against their respective benchmarks to the Corporation’s CEO and COO.

Employee Health and Safety Injury/Illness Performance	2021	2022	2023	2024
Total Recordable Injury/Illness Rate (TRR)^*	1.49	1.69	1.32	1.23
Days Away, Restricted or Transfer Injury/Illness Rate (DART)^*	0.99	1.04	0.86	0.84
Fatality Rate	0.00	0.00	0.00	0.00

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

A component of Curtiss-Wright’s Vision is to “…promote the well-being of the communities in which we live and serve.” With the help of our nearly 9,000 global employees, we pursue our vision through two distinct avenues or programs:

Local Volunteerism: Around the world, Curtiss-Wright employees take great pride in their local communities. They contribute both time and resources to multiple local charities and participate in organized activities such as road races, environmental cleanup events, food drives, and many other notable causes. Business units maintain and apply their own budgets for charitable giving based on local priorities and employees’ preferences. Through the philosophy of “local resources staying local”, Curtiss-Wright and its employees are making a difference in peoples’ lives every day around the world.

Corporate Philanthropy: Curtiss-Wright applies it resources at the company level through two avenues, including:

CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS

Curtiss-Wright makes sizeable monetary donations annually to charities and specific institutions dedicated to preserving the history of aviation, with which the Company is inexorably linked, as well as supporting our Armed Forces. Corporate Communications, in collaboration with senior management, determines how to deploy Curtiss-Wright resources, with a focus on supporting veterans and first responders.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

This program assists families of Curtiss-Wright employees by providing employees’ dependent children the opportunity to apply for annual scholarships to offset educational costs. Selection is based on academic and demonstrated leadership qualifications. The program is administered by an independent third party and at no time does any officer or employee of Curtiss-Wright play a part in the selection. Up to 90 scholarships are awarded annually.
