Supported by MasterBrand, our team members were involved in over 350 different community service events in 2022. This spirit of giving back is a quality that is deeply embedded in who we are, something we take great pride in as a company, and why we choose to support organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and the National Forest Foundation. All these efforts are done through The MasterBrand Way, which is based on foundational lean tools and empowers our associates across all locations and levels of work to operate under common frameworks and consistent lexicon to effectively develop cross - functional solutions to complex business issues. While we are pleased with our efforts to date, there is more to be done in our journey on the path to a more sustainable future. We look forward to the opportunity to further advance our ESG efforts and leave a legacy of positive contributions to our industry and those who enjoy the beauty and functionality of our products. Sincerely, R. David Banyard, Jr. President and Chief Executive Officer I am pleased to share our inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report that showcases the ways in which MasterBrand is living our mission by being responsible stewards of our resources. In the following pages, you will see our progress in many areas, but I am especially pleased with our progress in associate health and safety. For instance, in 2022, our reported recordable rate for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was close to one, which is less than 1/3 of the industry average. This is due in large part to efforts such as our Always Aware program that shapes our “zero injury” workplace culture. In addition to prioritizing the well - being of our associates, MasterBrand remains focused on our environmental impact. Specifically, we remain committed to sustainably sourcing wood, following best practices and working with suppliers who adhere to similar standards. We also carefully manage our energy use and avert waste from landfills through our recycling and repurposing programs. MasterBrand benefits from the perspectives of a diverse workforce, representing a range of cultures, backgrounds and values. Our commitment here starts at the top with the diversity of our leadership team, a reflection of the makeup of our workforce. This diversity provides advantages that translate to greater inclusivity and associate satisfaction. We encourage the development of our associates, both professionally and personally, and provide opportunities for career advancement, offering a rewarding and fulfilling work environment. A Message from Leadership MasterBrand fosters a culture of engagement that resonates throughout our entire organization and provides a unifying inspiration that drives everything we do. Propelling that engagement is a commitment to our 13,000 - plus associates, our shareholders, our customers, our partners and the communities where we live and work. It is rooted in a responsibility to deliver exceptional products to our consumers, offer a rewarding and safe workplace experience for our associates as well as a focus on improving our impact on the environment.

MasterBrand | 2022 ESG Report 10 Environmental CONTENTS CEO LETTER INTRODUCING MASTERBRAND ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE APPENDIX Caring for our environment is ingrained in the way we do business, driving us to continuously improve our operations in mindful and sustainable ways.


MasterBrand | 2022 ESG Report 10 MasterBrand | 2022 ESG Report 11 Protecting the Planet At MasterBrand, we understand the importance of protecting not only the environments surrounding the communities where we live and operate, but also striving to create a culture rooted in sustainable best practices. We are focused on preserving the environment for future generations and collaborating with organizations, customers, suppliers and government agencies that align with our values. The Sustainability of Wood Wood cabinets are an essential component of a home and wood - based materials continue to be the best material for producing them. While trees are one of Earth’s renewable resources, it is essential that we follow strict wood sourcing practices that promote sustainable forestry. We strive to be a leader in sustainable wood sourcing practices. In fact, approximately 80% of our hardwood spend in 2022 was derived from supply originating in North America and Europe. MasterBrand also has comprehensive wood auditing practices and gives preference to our suppliers who participate in sustainability programs. We buy composite wood components, including medium density fiberboard and plywood, which are typically made from wood scraps that would have otherwise been destined for the landfill.


CONTENTS CEO LETTER INTRODUCING MASTERBRAND ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE APPENDIX MasterBrand | 2022 ESG Report 12 Our environmental philosophy focuses on preserving the environment for future generations and collaborating with professional organizations, customers, suppliers, and governmental agencies who align with our values to achieve our environmental objectives. Key elements of our program include: • Ensuring MasterBrand facilities adhere to all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. • Focusing on problem solving activities to reduce waste and practicing reuse and recycling wherever achievable. • Being a good neighbor and enhancing the communities where we operate. • Striving to minimize negative impacts on our environment through continuous improvement. • Embracing and promoting sustainable use of natural resources, efficient use of energy and raw materials, and overall prevention of pollution. Safety and environmental stewardship are embedded in our belief system and vital to our success. MasterBrand’s purchases of composite wood contribute 3.3 million metric tons to carbon sequestration by using these products in our cabinets. Environmental Stewardship Approximately 80% of our hardwood spend is sourced from North America and Europe. Wood is one of the world’s clean and renewable resources, according to the National Forest Service. Wood stores the carbon (CO 2 ) from the air until the product or wood is burned or destroyed. Sustainably replanting trees continues to renew the process.


~80% CONTENTS CEO LETTER INTRODUCING MASTERBRAND ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE APPENDIX 3.3M MasterBrand | 2022 ESG Report 13 Associations & Partnerships MasterBrand partners with the National Forest Foundation (NFF), the nonprofit partner of the U.S. Forest Service, in their campaign to plant 50 million trees across national forests. Tree planting mitigates climate change, improves water quality, supports wildfire recovery and more. The Partners for Pollution Prevention is an organization comprised of Indiana industries, businesses, nonprofit organizations and governmental entities that are interested in pollution prevention and the financial and environmental benefits it brings. MasterBrand is a supporter of Yellowstone Forever , the official nonprofit partner of Yellowstone National Park. In celebration of Yellowstone’s recent 150 - year anniversary, MasterBrand is helping to donate much needed new cabinetry to update housing for park staff. MasterBrand uses wood that has been legally obtained through suppliers and works to ensure that wood purchased globally is sustainably sourced. An example is rubber wood, which is grown throughout the world. When rubber wood is used in our products, we are contributing not only to the environment, but we are also contributing to the rubber wood farmer, positively impacting communities economically at the local level. By purchasing rubber wood, MasterBrand is using it after it has given its fruit: rubber. The trees are then harvested at the end of their useful life. At that point, the tree is often used locally for fuel. By using it in our products, we continue to sequester carbon by recycling the product for future use. CONTENTS CEO LETTER INTRODUCING MASTERBRAND ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE APPENDIX MasterBrand | 2022 ESG Report 14 Managing Energy Use REDUCING EMISSIONS We operate a fleet of vehicles that bear the Clean Idle Certification.


Reducing idle time saves fuel, reduces engine wear and reduces emissions and noise. It also saves money that would normally be spent on fuel or maintenance work due to engine wear and tear. POWER FROM WIND MasterBrand’s Waterloo, Iowa facility uses energy from MidAmerican Energy Company windfarms. The GreenAdvantage ® program helps Iowa energy customers reach their sustainability goals by supplying clean, renewable energy to customers. In 2021, this amounted to 88.5% of the retail electric load that MidAmerican delivered to its Iowa customers. MasterBrand’s focus on operating in a lean and efficient manner is reflected in how we manage energy use throughout our facilities. We realize savings through regular preventative maintenance and keeping all equipment operating at peak efficiency. This certificate verifies that this facility is powered by 88.5% * renewable energy. MidAmerican Energy is proud to power sustainable businesses and communities. Pursuing our 100% Renewable Energy Vision for our Iowa customers is a key step on our road to Destination Net Zero . *Energy delivered in 2021, as verified by the Iowa Utilities Board The MasterBrand Energy Conservation Guidelines CONTENTS CEO LETTER INTRODUCING MASTERBRAND ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE APPENDIX We leverage guidelines that minimize energy use and maximize conservation and productivity across all of our facilities. These guidelines range from disciplined and regular maintenance of equipment to the use of energy - efficient sources for electricity. Saving Energy while Enhancing Quality The Company is saving energy while improving quality and efficiency by installing LED overhead lights to replace existing T5 lights. This positively impacts overall quality since improved lighting is critical to detecting defects during the sanding and build process. In one facility alone, this project is projected to save 7,578 KWH of energy and a CO 2 reduction of approximately 4,107kg/9,054 lbs (based on energy savings calculator).

This not only saves the Company economically but has a direct impact on the environment where our cabinets are made, as well as where they are installed. Recycling Targets In 2022, six MasterBrand manufacturing locations surpassed a landfill avoidance rate of 90%. These locations include: Kinston, North Carolina; Riverside, California; Gomez Palacio, Mexico; Grants Pass, Oregon; Waterloo, Iowa; and Arthur, Illinois. Three additional locations achieved between 80% to 89% landfill avoidance rate. Using efficient practices not only benefits the environment, it helps us to manage expenses and increase our profitability. Each manufacturing location has developed a Facility Environmental Plan that not only focuses on regulatory compliance but also identifies improvement projects to reduce, reuse or recycle material. One recent example is in the Jackson, Georgia location. In an effort to increase the recycling rate, the facility recently installed a cardboard baler to assist with recycling of loose cardboard. The plant is now diverting more material from the landfill to a recycler. 286,287,310 286,287,310 lbs of wood waste was diverted from the landfill and used in a variety of different applications Including compost, mulch and animal bedding. 209,000 Just over 209 , 000 gallons of hazardous waste was reclaimed for secondary use . Most of this recovered material was reused in our finish process . 30% 30% of our packaging product is recycled post - consumer product by using suppliers that provide recycled packaging materials.


CONTENTS CEO LETTER INTRODUCING MASTERBRAND ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE APPENDIX MasterBrand | 2022 ESG Report 17 Repurposing Wood for the Benefit of Wildlife MasterBrand supports the Wildlife Images Rehabilitation and Education Center, a non - profit corporation founded in 1981 by renowned wildlife rehabilitator J. David Siddon. The organization was created in order to provide for the care and treatment of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife and its facilities are located on 24 acres of land adjacent to the wild and scenic section of Oregon’s famous Rogue River. MasterBrand donated plywood for the rehabilitation center, which was used in the otter habitat. MANAGING WASTE CONTINUED Safe Material Use While the proportion of hazardous waste we generate is low, mainly driven by the finishes and paint needed to provide quality products to our customers, we look for opportunities to reduce or reuse these waste materials where possible. We adhere to global rules and regulations related to hazardous waste management, conduct reviews of our processes and ensure any associates who deal with hazardous waste receive the proper training. To complete our comprehensive focus on safe material use, we work with transportation, storage and disposal partners that adhere to compliant methods. Metric 2022 Landfill & Incinerated Vs.

Currently, Smith Creek uses MasterBrand’s waste products for pelletized animal bedding for non - food animals including horses, soil amendments such as compost, and biomass fuels. The material from the animal bedding can then be repurposed again as fertilizer for farm fields. Other wood scraps are used to create compost to make potting soil blends and topsoil. In 2022, Smith Creek recycled approximately 30,000 tons of material from MasterBrand facilities. MANAGING WASTE CONTINUED In the MasterBrand facility located in Ferdinand, Indiana, a new toner was introduced after significant lab work and testing of materials. The result? The no - wipe stain replaced the dye toner for multiple stain colors in the production of our cabinets. This allowed for the removal of chromium, a component of the dye toner from the finish process. The remainder of the finish colors were implemented with the new toner between March and May of 2022 and the stain booth was converted from applying stain to applying a second coat of toner, which led to the elimination of the stain wiping process, a significant ergonomic improvement for our associates as well as an environmental benefit. The introduction of this process received MasterBrand’s “Best of the Best” (BOB) for the Month of June, 2022. The BOB is awarded to the kaizen improvement that had the best results or greatest impact for the Company and its associates, specifically showing how adopting and implementing The MasterBrand Way principles can lead our company to success both now and in the future.

CONTENTS CEO LETTER INTRODUCING MASTERBRAND ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE APPENDIX MasterBrand | 2022 ESG Report 31 Managing Our Supply Chains Responsible Forestry Through Sustainable Supply Chain Management Central to our MasterBrand sustainability journey is our commitment to ensuring that we deliver responsibly sourced products, promoting sustainable best practices while remaining dedicated to safety and positively impacting the communities where we live and work. Responsible Sourcing We provide resources and facilitate ongoing training to help suppliers, MasterBrand associates and leaders to better understand the need for sustainable supply chains. Our approach includes: Prevention: engaging clear practices, knowing suppliers, and pursuing a culture of integrity Detection: Transparent system to detect violations with data - driven assessments Response: Having policies and tools to effectively investigate and act when necessary Moving from Responsible to Sustainable Sourcing We understand that sustainable sourcing goes beyond just avoiding harm, but seeks to improve ESG supply chain factors around the world. We work with all associates and suppliers toward the following: As we engage both associates and strategic suppliers to continuously improve our supply chain, it is important to identify opportunities to move toward the following: • Awareness of sourcing issues that prevent or improve good practices • Tracing of supply chain products or suppliers • Committing tangibly to suppliers and sustainable sourcing practices • Monitoring performance on sustainability factors in supply chains • Actively engaging to understand the true impact of a supplier’s sourcing or programs Supplier Code of Conduct MasterBrand encourages all suppliers to work with certification parties such as the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or equivalent certification programs. Suppliers who claim their products are “certified” must maintain current certifications, place the certification number on the commercial invoice, and the certification will be verified on the Supplier Code of Conduct Audits. See our Supplier Code of Conduct . Wood Supplier Surveys MasterBrand compliance teams verify with our top suppliers that their wood is responsibly sourced. As part of this effort, we interview suppliers and walk through their supply chain and actions to review their processes ensuring we are buying product that is responsibly sourced. If they need assistance, we educate them and work with them to build sustainability into their process. Responsible sourcing considers the entire supply chain: both the forestry management and the wood they are using in our products. Examples of related questions we ask include: “Is it a quick growing wood, or slow growing?” and “Does the management consider biodiversity in planning what, where and when to harvest?” Wood Supplier Surveys focus on the following areas: • Code of Conduct • Environmental Management • Protection of Forests Future Supply Chain of Custody In 2023, MasterBrand will review and clarify details of Chain of Custody for our wood supply related to the Lacey Act. As we continue working with current suppliers and consider onboarding new suppliers, we will strive to have the ability to trace the wood all the way back from our facilities to the mills, to the forest where it was harvested.
