(NYSE: ARIS) ("Aris," "Aris Water," or the "Company") announced today the publication of its 2022 Sustainability Report, which highlights the significant progress Aris made in 2022 related to environmental, social, and governance goals and details how Aris continues to build upon its recognized leadership in enhancing water sustainability in its areas of operation.

"We are pleased to publish our second annual Sustainability Report, which highlights our commitment, leadership, and progress towards improving water sustainability in the Permian Basin as safe, reliable, and comprehensive water management is of critical importance to our customers and the communities in which we operate," said Amanda Brock, President and CEO of Aris.

• 27% decrease in Scope 1 emissions primarily through continued electrification of our assets.¹
• Aris exceeded its 2022 Sustainability Performance Target ("SPT") under its Sustainability Linked Bond, the first in the produced water infrastructure industry. Greater than 70% of water Aris sold during 2022 was recycled produced water, exceeding the SPT of 60%.
