New Sustainability Strategy Solidifies Focus on Growth and Operations

Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE: IR) (“the Company”), a global provider of mission-critical flow creation and industrial solutions, announced today an update to its sustainability strategy designed to further the company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) leadership, capture ESG-related competitive advantages and drive internal and external growth while helping its customers meet their sustainability goals. With its purpose to Make Life Better for customers, employees, stockholders and the planet, an unwavering commitment to sustainability is deeply embedded throughout Ingersoll Rand’s operations and decision-making processes.

The Company is introducing “Lead Sustainably” as an updated and expanded strategic imperative – along with Deploy Talent, Accelerate Growth, Expand Margins and Allocate Capital Effectively – that reflects Ingersoll Rand’s external growth strategy, internal ESG objectives and bold ambition to be a global industry leader in sustainability. The Lead Sustainably strategic imperative is supported by two key and complementary pillars: “Grow Sustainably,” which has an external focus; and “Operate Sustainably,” which has an internal focus.

Grow Sustainably: Supporting customers on their sustainability journey and expanding into sustainable end markets, through:

• Innovative development of intrinsically sustainable products that enable greater efficiency, circularity and safety
• Intentional focus on sustainable, high-growth end markets, including but not limited to clean energy, food and beverage, life science and water

Operate Sustainably: Driving internal efforts to improve operations and processes, including a focus on:

• Greenhouse gas emissions
• Water efficiency and conservation
• Waste to landfill reduction
• Safety

Ingersoll Rand is also committed to advancing its Social and Governance goals. The Company delivers on its purpose - Make Life Better - for its employees through ongoing employee engagement efforts, the promotion of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion principles and commitment to its leading-edge Employee Ownership program. The Board of Director’s Sustainability Committee, formed in 2021, oversees the sustainability program and strategy, which is operationalized at every level throughout the Company via the Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (“IRX”) framework, Ingersoll Rand’s competitive differentiator operating model.

“We make life better for our employees, customers, stockholders and planet by creating long-term value. Every day, we are driving sustainable product and service innovation that enables our customers to meet their own sustainability goals, while embracing a circular economy mindset internally, ultimately resulting in a better bottom-line,” said Vicente Reynal, Chairman and CEO. “We believe engaged employees are crucial to our success, which is why our employees are given a personal ownership stake in Ingersoll Rand. As owners, we are motivated to work together to lead sustainably. It’s an exciting time at Ingersoll Rand with significant long-term opportunities ahead.”
