9、rsons Statement of Principles(SOP)expresses the beliefs and philosophies of our founders and serves as the foundation for our business today.The SOP recognizes the need for business activities to be conducted with integrity,to reflect a proper concern for the health and safety of our employees,custo

10、mers,and neighbors,and for the quality of our environment.As a business based in agriculture,working directly with growers,we appreciate the importance of stewardship of our natural resources.Environmental,Social,and Governance(ESG)considerations are inherently a part of our business.Service to all

11、four of our key stakeholders,our customers,employees,communities,and shareholders,is a critical part of our culture and defined within our mission statement.SERVING OUR COMMUNITIESIn 2022,employees across our geographical footprint were challenged to complete 75 acts of community service in celebrat

12、ion of our 75th anniversary.They rose to the challenge!They not only met,but exceeded the goal with 105 service projects.These events ranged from making blankets for children at Childrens Mercy Hospital in Kansas City to packing meal kits for Connecting Kids to Meals,an organization which provides h

13、ealthy meals to kids in low-income and underserved areas in Northwest Ohio.MOVING THE SUSTAINABILITY BARWe are currently in the process of completing our first Formal Materiality Assessment.A third-party consultant has been engaged to assist in discussions with our key stakeholders to determine ESG

14、topics that are most important to our operations.We look forward to the results and anticipate using the data to create targets as it relates to ESG in accordance with Greenhouse Gas(GHG)reduction protocols.Also for the first time,this sustainability review reflects third-party GHG metric verificati

15、on.Data verification using an outside resource allows accuracy and transparency with our Scope 1 and Scope 2 calculations.Finally,in 2022,we issued a Deforestation Statement to indicate our support for biodiversity and environmentally sustainable growing practices.We understand the importance of res

16、ponsible stewardship of land and need to balance it with the global demands for food,feed,and fuel.Our Deforestation Statement strengthens our support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal(SDG)of Life on Land.ENGAGING WITH OUR EMPLOYEESThe safety and health of employees continues to be

17、 a top priority.The Environment,Health,and Safety(EHS)operations organization was restructured to form an EHS Council comprised of EHS directors representing all business operations.The council provides continuity and guidance as it relates to regulatory and company policies and procedures with the

18、goal of each facility having ownership over their EHS culture.A safety culture survey was conducted last year with 95%of our operations employees participating.Having such high engagement with the survey allows us to confidently create action plans to identify areas for improvement.As stated in The

19、Andersons Statement of Principles,“We believe differences in people are a strength when they are focused on a common goal.Each employee of The Andersons,Inc.(The Andersons)has a responsibility to cultivate an environment in which differences are truly valued and respected.”In keeping with these valu

20、es,we have set guidelines for inclusion of diverse candidates,including women and persons of color,for senior roles,and have expanded our recruiting tools to access a broader,more diverse talent market.Last year,several Employee Resource Groups(ERGs)were launched.These employee-led groups provide su

21、pport,education,and networking,while also providing an opportunity to engage in community activities relevant to the group.Providing wellness programs,work life balance,and a diverse working environment allows The Andersons to be a competitive employer in todays market.Our wellness program,Healthy L

22、ifestyles,allows employees to earn rewards while improving their health through well visits,online health courses,health coaching modules,and group challenges.In both 2021 and 2022,our vendor,Bravo,awarded The Andersons Healthy Lifestyles program with the Winning With Wellness Award in the Good to G

23、reat category.This award recognizes companies that are committed to building a culture of health,employee support,and leadership.STRENGTHENING THE SUPPLY CHAINThe Andersons core businesses in agriculture start at the farmgate,providing inputs needed to prepare the soil and provide nutrition to grow

24、a crop.The Andersons then buys the harvested production,selling to end use customers in food and feed industries,while also being a processor of ethanol.In other words,we work all along the supply chain that is strengthened by our business relationships.Having the right vendor and supplier relations

25、hips is critical to our success.As an extension of our companys Statement of Principles,those companies we chose to do business with are expected to abide by our Supplier Code of Conduct.One of the ways we are advancing sustainability is by working with growers as part of sustainable sourcing pilot

26、projects.In these projects,The Andersons and the grower,along with end use customers,work to better understand how sustainable production metrics can benefit and provide value while producing financial incentives from farm to fork.We are committed to looking for ways to sustainably operate while wor

27、king alongside trusted suppliers and key customers.We are proud to showcase our improvements in this review and will continue to challenge ourselves as we create new and innovative food,feed,and fuel solutions.A LETTER FROM CEO PAT BOWEPat BowePresident andChief Executive OfficerSUSTAINABILITY AT TH

85、D OF AMERICASUSTAINABILITY AT THE ANDERSONSBIOCHAR DGBioChar DG is a soil amendment made from the carbon skeleton of wood,or other organic matter,through the process of super heating.Every small piece of biochar has millions of molecular bonding sites that hold water,nutrients,microbes,fungi,and bac

86、teria that would otherwise be washed away or die from harsh conditions.Once introduced to your soil,biochar will stay for years,helping build the soil profile.BioChar DG applications result in rich,carbon-heavy soil that feeds itself and the plants growing in it.CharX is an organic,carbon-based soil

87、 amendment containing 30%high-quality humic acid and 43%granulated biochar.This combination of material provides the benefit of the quickly available humic acid,and the long-term soil building qualities of the biochar that will last for decades.Both humic and biochar add carbon into the soil and inc

88、rease microbial activity,resulting in greater nutrient holding in the soil and better processing in the plant.The Andersons BioChar DG and CharX feature DG Technology,which allows particles to disperse when watered.The DG Technology helps the particle move past the thatch layer of your lawn or the m

89、ulch in your garden bed,and into the soil without any raking,digging,or tilling.The spherical and uniform granules also mean low-dust,making the product easier to work with.INNOVATIVE LIQUID FERTILIZER ADDITIVESThe Andersons announced a new liquid starter additive,Power Pass technology,that is desig

90、ned to increase crop performance and aid in enhancing storability for select low-salt starter fertilizers.The addition of Power Pass technology with liquid starter fertilizer applications increases the absorption of other applied nutrients.More nutrients in the plant leads to improved plant health t

91、o better defend against environmental stressors such as drought and pests.Additionally,The Andersons has launched a line of biological products designed to be added to liquid fertilizer applications to deliver beneficial and viable microbes at the time of applications.Soil microbes are an important

92、key to a healthy functioning soil.These organisms help with cycling nutrients,mineralization of organic matter,and maintaining soil structure.Bio Pass,Bio Pass LG,and Bio Reverse contain naturally occurring microbial strains chosen to perform specific functions in the soil.Untreated CheckSeason Pass

97、re,this means being focused on subjects related to carbon footprinting,carbon credits,carbon in-setting,regenerative farming production,and sustainable sourcing.It is good for business to help our growers prepare for upcoming opportunities that technology and an interest in GHG emissions mitigation

98、will bring.At The Andersons,we succeed when farmers succeed.This is,in part,what Sustainability and Environmental Innovation(SEI)is about-linking commercial sourcing success from farmer to end-user in a mutually beneficial way.Whether by independent project with our growers or through a Climate-Smar

99、t Grant provided by the USDA,The Andersons and our growers are proud to support and invest in a sustainable future.LOWERING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINTAs we continue our journey in the understanding of our carbon footprint,we know the importance of setting true and attainable GHG targets.Launched in 2020 b

100、y Mars,McCormick,and PepsiCo,the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition(Supplier LoCT)helps suppliers understand their carbon footprint and set science-based emission reduction targets.As of 2022,Supplier LoCT is comprised of 12 brands and 500 suppliers.We recognize the importance of reducing ene

101、rgy use and conserving raw materials and natural resources,all of which allow us to provide agricultural products in a sustainable manner.Therefore,we remain committed to lowering our carbon footprint within the products we process by looking at ways to improve energy efficiencies at our facilities,

102、continuously improving the transportation of our products,and informing our grower customers of opportunities.We joined the Supplier LoCT to accelerate our progress in measuring,monitoring,and reporting our impact.The content of this report is a continuation of that effort.This review marks the seco

103、nd year of successfully tracking our Scope 1 and Scope 2 metrics throughout our North American facilities.It also marks the first year in which we obtained third-party certification of those metrics.PUSHING FORWARD WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND PRACTICESWe all want a SUSTAINABLE FUTURE for ourselves,ou

104、r families,and others.But,for all to SHARE IN THE BENEFITS of a sustainable future requires the INVESTMENT BY ALL in support of that outcome.Often,we hear others say,“.they need to do more”,but we must all be willing to DO OUR PART,each within our own industries,by INNOVATING and INVESTING wisely in

105、 ways to deliver traditional goods and services in NEW and SUSTAINABLE WAYS.We must take the DELIBERATE STEPS necessary for CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT toward a sustainable future.All of us will stumble from time to time.But,if we are PATIENT and PERSEVERE,we can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.TIMOTHY VENVERLOHSr.Dir

108、performance by using the Environmental Reportable Incident Rate(ERIR)metric.This metric weighs serious pollution events,of which our goal is always zero,regulatory reportable events/excursions from permit requirements,and formal notices of non-compliance from regulatory agencies.These incidents are

109、then weighed by hours worked within each business to normalize performance.Annually,each business reviews their previous years performance and sets goals for the upcoming year in an effort to continually improve.Since this system was implemented in 2020,The Andersons has shown continuous improvement

110、 trends for environmental compliance.We attribute this improvement to implementing a risk-based EHS learning culture,operations ownership of the environmental function,and launching of the Benchmark EHS management system across all of The Andersons facilities.PUSHING FORWARD WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY SOU

114、 an ecosystem necessary to maintain a delicate balance of life on earth.Raw materials within the agricultural supply chain also are critical to ensure that the global population has enough food and resources for life.The Andersons fully understands the need to maintain precious forests.Our newly pub

115、lished Deforestation Statement confirms our commitment to build responsible supply chains throughout all aspects of our business.Although we do not own or manage the land that is used for the cultivation of agricultural commodities,we strive to work with the farmer growers and other stakeholders to

116、promote continuous improvement in environmentally sustainable growing practices.Please see our Deforestation Statement in its entirety to review our approach to Life on Land.4R NUTRIENT STEWARDSHIPWe continue our participation in The Fertilizer Institutes 4R Nutrient Stewardship Program which was es

117、tablished in 2014.The 4Rs provide a fertilizer application framework focused on using the Right Source of nutrients at the Right Rate,at the Right Time,and in the Right Place,maximizing crop uptake of nutrients while minimizing nutrient loss.The objective is to create long-term positive impacts on w

118、ater bodies associated with agricultural production areas,to share the most up-to-date information about responsible nutrient stewardship with dealers and growers,and to help the agriculture sector adapt to new research and technology in the area of nutrient stewardship.Through programs like 4R,the

119、resources to maintain a sustainable food supply are achievable.PUSHING FORWARD WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND PRACTICESSUSTAINABILITY AT THE ANDERSONSPUSHING FORWARD WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND PRACTICESGROWING AS A COMMUNITYFOSTERING A SAFETY CULTUREGOVERNANCEGLOSSARYPERFORMANCE DATA22SUSTAINABLE WATER

120、PRACTICESWe recognize both that water is the most vital resource for the agriculture industry and that this increasingly scarce resource plays a critical role in society.Access to clean water is a fundamental human right and indispensable to every community,ecosystem,and economy.At The Andersons,tha

121、t drives how we manage our business.We understand the challenges that exist around potential physical impacts of climate change,which vary by region and contribute to events like water shortages or diminution of water quality.We also understand the water concerns within the farming industry.Therefor

122、e,the need to conserve and protect the water we use is essential in all parts of our operations.Water is used within our ethanol production process and at select liquid fertilizer production locations.It is used for steam production,process cooling,and processes like operating wet gas scrubbers for

123、environmental compliance.The water in our evaporative cooling towers is reused in several cycles to minimize freshwater additions,and wastewater is recycled back to processes multiple times to minimize wastewater generation.Additionally,we have a preventative maintenance process to routinely examine

124、 our water pipes and valves to prevent leaks and steam losses.Water not consumed in operating processes is collected,treated,and then discharged following permit requirements.Fullytreated water goes to a surface body of water,such as a river or stream as allowed by permit.Partially treated water is

125、discharged to publicly owned treatment facilities for further treatment.The Andersons continues to follow federal,state,and local water regulations to ensure that our operations do not disrupt the water quality within the communities where we operate.Our wastewater treatment facilities are operated

126、and maintained to meet the strict environmental requirements in our National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System or industrial pre-treatment permits.To ensure discharges meet or exceed the requirements,internal testing and monitoring is conducted beyond what is required by the permits.Additionall

127、y,operating incidents are promptly investigated and corrective actions are taken to minimize the risk of reoccurrence.Even though The Andersons does not operate in any water stressed areas where water usage restrictions exist1,we remain committed to advancing our ESG approach knowing the importance

128、of water conservation as we look to develop key reduction targets.1.We define water stress areas as regions in which more than 40%of available water is used by industry,households,and agriculture.Our definition is based on the Water Risk Atlas(Aqueduct 3.0)published by the World Resources Institute.

133、eam we buy from local utilities)emissions.To better understand our true carbon footprint,we first examined how our operations function.The Andersons has over 120 facilities which include renewable fuels operations,grain facilities,fertilizer production or blending operations,research labs,administra

134、tive buildings,farm centers,and fleet(trucking).Our five ethanol facilities account for the majority of our GHG emissions.The predominant on-site use of energy is from our natural gas utility providers,with petroleum from our fleet operations,and a small portion of operations using propane.Our Scope

135、 2 GHG predominantly reflects purchased electricity.This electricity mainly comes from fossil fuel electrical facilities.However,we have locations in Canada that receive power from a renewable fuel source,water.The Renewable-Hydro graph shows the amount of hydro sourced in 2022 and is excluded from

136、our overall Scope 2 figures.During 2022,we continued to expand energy efficient initiatives,many of which fit within our desire to be a low cost operator.For example,at our Denison ethanol facility,we installed 70 LED bulbs,replacing outdated metal halide and fluorescent lighting,and decreasing elec

137、tricity usage.At the Greenville ethanol facility,lighting systems were placed on timers,saving an approximate 44,000 watts of electricity ensuring lights in non-key areas did not run all the time.We also continue to maintain a robust preventative maintenance program to ensure efficiency of our fuel

142、d earlier.As previously mentioned,the data reported in this years Scope 1 is still being refined.This explains the increase in emissions we saw from 2021 to 2022 as we continue to gather our data.We also worked with a third-party consultant to review and certify our 2022 GHG emissions for accuracy a

143、nd transparency.Our plan in 2023 is to continue the Supplier LoCT process to create GHG emission targets,refine our data collection process,and look for ways to continue implementing innovative ideas that reduce our energy intensity,allowing us to produce more while using less energy.ETHANOL STEAM G

144、ENERATION One example of our energy efficiency efforts is our Heat Recovery Steam Generator(HRSG).Four of our ethanol plants have natural gas thermal oxidizers which are used to control air emissions by destroying volatile organic compounds.A thermal oxidizer burns the organic compounds,and the resu

145、lting hot gases pass through an HRSG heat exchanger,where the gases heat water in tubes,boiling it to generate steam.Originally,steam from these units,along with additional economizer coils in the exhaust gas stack,were used exclusively as the steam source for the ethanol plants.It remains this way

146、in the Denison,Iowa plant.As the capacity of the plants has expanded,a package boiler or a combined heat and power unit has been utilized at three of the plants to supplement the steam production,but the HRSGs continue to be used to their fullest extent to reduce the amount of natural gas needed to

147、operate the plant.PUSHING FORWARD WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND PRACTICESSUSTAINABILITY AT THE ANDERSONSPUSHING FORWARD WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND PRACTICESGROWING AS A COMMUNITYFOSTERING A SAFETY CULTUREGOVERNANCEGLOSSARYPERFORMANCE DATA25FOCUSING ON CLIMATE CHANGESCOPE 3The Andersons continues its ef
