Corporate Sustainability Policy Framework v1.0

For Lowpricedito.com, sustainability means:

• Environmental Stewardship: Minimizing our ecological footprint through responsible resource management, waste reduction, and climate action.

This policy applies to all operations under the direct control of Lowpricedito.com, including our corporate offices, fulfillment centers, and data centers. We are also committed to influencing and encouraging our extended value chain—including suppliers, manufacturers, logistics partners, and contractors—to adopt similar principles and practices.

4.1 Environmental Stewardship

• Climate Action: We will measure our carbon footprint (Scope 1, 2, and material Scope 3 emissions) and set science-based targets for reduction. We will prioritize energy efficiency in our facilities and transition to renewable energy sources where feasible.
• Resource Management: We will minimize waste by implementing reduce, reuse, and recycle programs across our operations, with a specific focus on packaging materials. We will work towards zero-waste-to-landfill certification for our fulfillment centers.
• Sustainable Packaging: We commit to phasing out single-use plastics and transitioning to 100% recyclable, compostable, or reusable packaging materials by 2025. We will right-size packaging to minimize material use and transportation emissions.
• Responsible Sourcing: We will integrate environmental criteria into our supplier selection process, prioritizing partners who demonstrate a commitment to sustainable resource use and pollution prevention.

• Community Engagement: We will contribute positively to the communities where we operate through strategic charitable giving, employee volunteer programs, and community partnerships.
