A Message from our Executive Chairman and our CEO

At Tenet Healthcare, one of our greatest contributions to society is how we support our mission: to deliver quality, compassionate care in the communities we serve. By the very nature of what we do, our caregivers and staff are present for some of life's most critical moments.

At the same time, we also recognize the need to be purpose-driven in making a positive impact that complements our operational responsibilities. Tenet's goal across environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives is to create a better, more sustainable path for future generations. To help guide these efforts, we formed an ESG Committee of our Board in 2021.

In the subsequent pages, we outline a summary of our ongoing progress. Often shared through real-life stories of our people, we highlight the natural presence of ESG in our business, as well as how we advance ESG priorities on behalf of those we serve.

Protecting the planet. With a new sustainability leader in place, we established key focus areas and initiated an environmental materialityassessment. We also accelerated our hospital energy management program, strengthened industry partnerships and increased our focus on sustainable design for new construction. Our efforts to prevent pharmaceutical waste from entering our waterways continued to yield measurable results, along with our sharps management program.

Enhancing access to care. We continued to grow our network of lower-cost, outpatient surgical sites within USPI, while planning for new hospitals and medical campuses in areas where services may be lacking. Our work to improve healthcare access remained a focal point while caring for our neighbors through extremely challenging cycles of the pandemic.

Fostering a purpose-driven, diverse and inclusive culture. With guidance from our newly formed Diversity Council, we enhanced our approach to recruiting and hiring to reflect the communities we serve. We administered inclusivity training and started new programs to honor different cultures. As healthcare providers faced staffing challenges related to the pandemic, we focused on training, education andcareer development for nurses, surgeons and others.

Strengthening the health of our communities. We like to say we are global in scope, but local at heart. While we have a large footprint of care sites, each one gives back to their local communities in different ways. Last year, we supported programs to advance education for underrepresented groups, fight hunger and promote healthcare awareness. We also implemented a large-scale COVID-19 vaccination effort.

Leading with integrity. Our corporate governance policies and practices continued to reflect our duty to protect the long-term interests of our shareholders. These practices helped us operate effectively while remaining true to our mission.

We are pleased by our continued progress and the ongoing commitment of our employees as we advocate and take action for the benefit of our communities, our society and our planet. We look forward to sharing future updates as we move forward.

ESG Framework

As healthcare providers, we care for patients during some of the most important moments in their lives. While many elements of ESG are inherently part of our fabric, our behaviors demonstrate that supporting ESG is also a decision to act and advocate for the best interests of our communities, planet and society as a whole.

We believe our ESG efforts are most effective when embraced by leadership and activated by employees across the enterprise. In 2021, the Tenet Board of Directors formed an ESG Committee with a primary purpose to oversee and support our commitment to social, environmental and governance initiatives. Tenet's ESG Committee consists entirely of independent directors and provides input and guidance to help establish the Company's overall approach to ESG matters.

We view ESG as part of our culture and ingrained in our business. We continue to align our approach to the areas that we believe are in the best interests of our stakeholders and our business, while seeking ongoing improvement.
