Mattel’s ESG strategy and goals are organized into three
pillars: Sustainable Design and Development; Responsible Sourcing
and Production; and Thriving and Inclusive Communities,
representing the ESG areas where the company believes it can have
the greatest impact.
Ynon Kreiz, Chairman and CEO of Mattel, said: “This latest
report reflects our ongoing commitment to be a responsible
corporate citizen and our aim to contribute to a more diverse,
equitable, inclusive, and sustainable future. On behalf of the
entire leadership team at Mattel, we thank our dedicated employees
around the world who make this continued progress possible, and our
external stakeholders for their encouragement and support in this
important area for the company.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains a number of forward-looking
statements, which are statements that relate to the future and are,
by their nature, uncertain. Forward-looking statements can be
identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. The use of words such as
“anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “looks
forward,” “confident that,” “believes,” and “targeted,” among
others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on currently available
operating, financial, economic, technological, and other
information and assumptions that are subject to change in the
future, as well as standards for measuring progress that are still
in development and are subject to a number of significant risks and
uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond
Mattel’s control, could cause actual future results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Specific factors that might cause such a difference include, but
are not limited to, assumptions not being realized, evolving ESG
strategies, legal or regulatory developments, scientific or
technological developments, changes in carbon markets or energy
prices, stakeholder engagement, or other changes in circumstances,
as well as the risks and uncertainties as are described in Mattel’s
periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the “Risk Factors” section of Mattel’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as well as
in Mattel’s other public statements. Mattel does not update
forward-looking statements and expressly disclaims any obligation
to do so, except as required by law.

and wood fiber usage data for years reported on prior to 2022 was
validated by the Rainforest Alliance. In 2023, the Rainforest
Alliance transitioned its forestry, tourism, and agriculture
certification activities to Preferred by Nature, a global nonprofit
working to support land management and business practices that
benefit people, nature, and the climate. 3 The ISCC is an
organization that administers sustainability certifications for
material feedstocks and markets on a global scale. The organization
created a certification system that incorporates sustainability
guiding principles, requirements for supply chain traceability, and
chain of custody verification. 4 Mass balance approach refers to
the process of combining bio- or plant-based or recycled materials
with conventional fossil materials during the production process,
resulting in a final product that combines both recycled and
fossil-based virgin materials. For more information visit the ISCC

Partners, specialists in carbon market solutions for climate
action. To achieve CarbonNeutral® product certification – which
indicates a current state achieved when the net GHG emissions
associated with an entity, product, or activity is zero for a
defined duration – Mattel performed a third-party life cycle
assessment and purchased carbon offsets (approximately 189 metric
tons of carbon dioxide equivalents) from the Ghana Community
Reforestation, Mississippi Valley Reforestation, and Australia
Native Forest Restoration projects. 7 TRIR is expressed as the
number of recordable incidents per 100 full-time workers during a
one-year period and covers all Mattel employees, contingent
workers, and independent contractors performing tasks on-site at
Mattel-owned and/or -operated manufacturing facilities and
distribution canters. The calculation is based on a total of
200,000 hours/year, which is the benchmark established by OSHA. 8
