OUR APPROACH TO IESG 

Three Fires MLM supports an IESG strategy managed by Maple Leaf Matting Inc. and their parent company, Strad Inc. Strad's Sustainability Working Committee is composed of individuals from across their business to provide a diverse perspective on their efforts on ESG topics, and to support the activation of their approach to IESG throughout the business. The Committee provides updates to leadership with specific details of efforts to ensure effective management of the IESG priorities. Strad follows a content gathering and approval process to ensure this report accurately reflects practices and performance.

Strad has been embedding sustainability principles into how they do business, their decision-making processes, and their everyday activities since their inception in 2006. In 2021, Strad took an essential step in this journey with the completion of their first formal materiality assessment to inform future sustainability work and to shape and prioritize the content of this report. Strad enlisted IESG-focused third-party guidance and referenced both the GRI and SASB Standards to complete the assessment in three stages: topic identification, prioritization, and validation.
