Environmental, Social and Governance Report

2024 commemorated the 70th anniversary of Nordson’s founding. As we look back over our history, a few tenets have remained constant. Corporate responsibility has always been part of how we do business. How we care for people – whether it be our customers, employees or communities – is a cornerstone of our success and future growth.

Our NBS Next growth framework, the business system pillar of our Ascend strategy, grounds us and drives our approach to corporate responsibility. We have made steady progress deploying this framework, which allows us to grow in the markets we serve and leverage disciplined, data-driven analysis to prioritize initiatives that support our customers, employees and communities.

We continue to support our customers by developing high-quality, efficient products that are focused on their needs. We proudly celebrated this commitment at our Technology & Innovation Showcase, and the industry has recognized Nordson with awards for technology and innovation across the globe.

Demonstrating our commitment to our employees, we conducted global focus groups and an in-depth review to capture what makes life at
Nordson unique. The key themes that emerged were: entrepreneurial spirit, opportunity, connection and impact. We are proud that this is
how our employees describe their Nordson experience. As we engage current and recruit future employees, we have adopted the simple,
poignant statement, “Empowering Possibilities.” We value our employees and firmly believe an engaged workforce directly impacts customer
satisfaction and business success. This is manifested through our growing development programs, our focus on a safe work environment through our Journey to Zero initiative and our enhanced benefit offerings.

Through ongoing partnerships, we continue to invest in the communities where we operate. In 2024, Nordson donated more than $11 million to nonprofit and charitable organizations across the world – a combination of corporate donations and donations through the Nordson Corporation Foundation.

Finally, we continue to execute our climate strategy and remain focused on our emissions reduction and renewable energy targets set in 2022 for the betterment of our customers, employees and communities. The improvements we have completed at our Westlake, Ohio, headquarters set an example for Nordson locations across the globe for how to think strategically about using energy efficiently and reducing our corporate footprint.

As we look ahead, I know what will remain constant about Nordson: focusing on our customers, continuously innovating to meet evolving market needs and providing industry-leading quality and delivery, while caring for each other and the communities that surround us.
Thank you for your continued support.
