###### Public Policy
We produce many of the most efficient products on the planet.
Lennox supports a wide array of sustainability related policies,
which are aligned with decarbonization and the goals of the Paris
Agreement. We advocated for an accelerated transition to lower
GWP refrigerants and continue to support the broad use of
reclaimed refrigerants.
We actively participate in and work with various industry
associations, sustainability-focused coalitions, environmental
advocates, and other stakeholders to influence and promote:
Energy conservation standards for HVACR products
Certification, verification, and testing for
product efficiency ratings
Phasedown of high global warming
potential refrigerants
Air quality and emissions standards
Tax policy or other government incentives that
encourage the purchase and installation of energy
efficient and lower carbon footprint products
###### Political Activity
In compliance with federal regulations, Lennox does not contribute to political
parties or candidates, including corporate funds or in-kind contributions, to
national party committees, campaigns, or candidates for federal office. Lennox
does not contribute to Section 527 organizations or independent expenditure
political action committees, also known as "Super PACS". We strictly prohibit
political and charitable contributions that act as a means of bribery and
corruption. Except for the Lennox Government Affairs function, our employees
are prohibited from engaging in political activity on behalf of the company or as
a company employee, and our Code of Business Conduct states our respect for
the political process. Lennox belongs to trade associations that take part in

standards in the policy areas that affect our business. Expenses related to
