e.l.f. Beauty Releases First-Ever Impact Report

e.l.f. Beauty (NYSE: ELF) today released its first-ever Impact Report, detailing the Company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and accomplishments for fiscal year 2022. The report highlights how e.l.f. Beauty is making a positive impact on people, the planet, and our furry friends.

"I am pleased to share our inaugural Impact Report, which underscores how e.l.f. Beauty has always been an inherently purpose-driven company," said Tarang Amin, e.l.f. Beauty's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our Impact Report is more than words that we say; it's designed to guide our actions and inspire positive actions in others. I am proud of the e.l.f. Beauty team for everything we have already achieved in our ESG journey and look forward to sharing our progress in the months and years ahead."

Our Commitments

By standing with every eye, lip, face and paw, we are committed to creating a culture internally?and in the world around us?where all individuals are encouraged to express their truest selves and are empowered to succeed. e.l.f. Beauty's Impact Report celebrates how the Company lives up to these commitments.

• We celebrate diversity. We are 1 of only 26 companies where underrepresented demographic groups represent at least a third of the Board (out of nearly 4,500 U.S. public companies) according to MSCI. We're also proud that our employee base, which is over 75% women, over 40% diverse and over 65% millennial and Gen Z, is representative of the young, diverse communities we serve.
• We make the best of beauty accessible. We uniquely bring premium quality products at an extraordinary value, and in FY 2022 we added two new superpowers: Fair Trade Certifiedtm and e.l.f. clean. We announced that we were the first beauty brand to have a third-party manufacturing facility Fair Trade Certifiedtm. We also committed to 100% clean beauty?reformulating over 350 SKUs to comply with our standards of "clean."
• We provide equal opportunities for growth and success. Our commitment to our culture and people was affirmed by Fortune, who named e.l.f. Beauty to its annual lists of Best Workplaces in 2021. Our overall employee engagement score was 89% in FY 2022?15 percentage points above the industry benchmark. 95% of our employees recommend e.l.f. as a great place to work.
• We do the right thing for people by leading with positivity, inclusivity and accessibility. We support and empower underserved communities by partnering with likeminded organizations. In FY 2022, we donated nearly $185,000 to various charities through formal partnerships and corporate matching of employee donations. We look for new frontiers to champion empowerment. With this in mind, in FY 2022 we were one of the first beauty brands to launch a Twitch channel, with our "e.l.f. You" channel designed to support up-and-coming women creators.
• We do the right thing for the planet. In FY 2022, we advanced our packaging sustainability strategies?eliminating more than one million pounds of excess packaging since the inception of "Project Unicorn," and setting a new goal for 100% of e.l.f. Beauty paper cartons to be Forest-Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified by FY 2025. We also completed our first measurement of greenhouse gas emissions to establish a baseline toward future environmental strategy development.
• We do the right thing for our furry friends. We never test on animals and are proudly 100% cruelty-free worldwide. In FY 2022, we achieved double-certified "cruelty-free" status from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Leaping Bunny across all our brands.
