Developing Our Future Success

In 2021, we deployed the Carlisle Leadership System, a holistic approach to talent management that incorporates mutually reinforcing processes and tools for the selection and development of high caliber talent. Within the system, we have four enterprise-wide leadership development programs:

Our flagship leadership program, the Carlisle Leadership Summit, is intended to prepare our top employees for senior leadership roles. Employees selected for the Leadership Summit meet on an annual basis with the CEO and Carlisle’s Executive Team to review company strategy, build relationships, share best practices and develop skills as leaders across our businesses. The Carlisle Leadership Program is a program for Senior Manager or Director level employees who are leading teams and demonstrating future potential for senior leadership roles. This program develops business and leadership skills in both applied and classroom environments.

The Carlisle Leadership Foundations is for skilled functional or technical individual contributors who have recently advanced or are expected to advance to their first leadership roles. This program helps these employees to define their own leadership skills to enable their future success. The Carlisle Management Development Program was established in cooperation with several universities as a one-year, post-MBA rotational program designed to give an expedited experience for participants in our business segments across multiple functional areas. Participants gain an understanding of who we are at Carlisle and the functional areas where they may have opportunities in the future.

Carlisle supports Headstrong, which provides confidential, cost-free, and frictionless mental health care treatment for military Veterans and their families. Headstrong has developed an effective, individually tailored and comprehensive treatment program for posttraumatic stress disorder and related military trauma.

Material Donations

Consistent with Carlisle’s ESG commitment to our communities, we work with partners to identify and supply material for projects that have a significant impact on our communities. Below are some of the projects Carlisle supported in 2021:

We donated materials for the roof of the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Charleston, SC. The products included FleeceBACK TPO with Flexible FAST Adhesive over SecurShield Polyiso Insulation on the 5,400 square foot building. The new roof from Carlisle will help the Ronald McDonald House provide parents with a place of refuge for years to come. In Kansas City, MO Carlisle donated roofing materials for the community center in a Veterans Community Project, which builds tiny homes for Veterans experiencing homelessness. The products included a fully adhered 60-mil TPO system with coverboard, nine rolls of TPO, and all supporting items. Additionally, we donated three rolls of PVC membrane to Operation Enduring Warrior in Huntington, WV to build their first training and event facility for disabled military and law enforcement.

Employee Outreach

Carlisle employees are engaged with over 100 organizations in or communities around the globe, including blood drives, neighborhood clean ups, clothing and food drives, holiday toy drives, building and donating furniture to Veterans, back to school shopping for children in need, domestic violence shelter cleanings, and career days with inner city youth. Carlisle’s COS team participated in a volunteer event at the Sojourner Center, a safe haven from domestic violence for women and their children in Arizona since 1977. The COS team noticed a lack of quality light in the Center’s warehouse and learned the lights had been failing for several years. After the event, the team worked with internal stakeholders at Carlisle to provide Sojourner Center with a new energy efficient LED lighting system.

Safety First, Always

The Carlisle Operating System (COS) provides the standards of our Continuous Improvement approach through framework standards, guidebooks, learning experiences, and materials. The robust and detailed application of COS ensures value creation and our commitment to ourselves and stakeholders.

OSHA Incident Rate

Path to Zero is the core of our safety management system, which is modeled on international and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

As in every continuous improvement culture, we know there is always room for growth. That is why our strategic plan, Vision 2025, leverages the Carlisle Operating System for safety, operating efficiencies, and financial results. It is also why we launched our ‘Path to Zero’ initiative at the end of 2020. Path to Zero is the core of our safety management system and represents Carlisle’s commitment to creating the safest possible work environment as we drive to a zero-incident rate. Throughout 2021 our teams continued to support each other and focus on safety, as evidenced by our industry leading .85% OSHA Incident Rate, which has declined nearly 9% year-over-year and more than 60% since 2014. Carlisle continues to lead in safety performance and has greatly outperformed the industry since we started tracking this metric.

Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost (SQDC)

In 2021, more employees trained in our robust Problem Solving and Policy Deployment courses than ever before, despite the virtual nature of these trainings for much of the time. As a result of these trainings, our teams were equipped with the tools to face the complex operational challenges of 2021, especially disruptions to our supply chain. Our teams remained focused on Safety, Quality, Delivery and Cost—in short, focused on delivering the Carlisle Experience to our customers.

Our Comprehensive Employee Benefits

Carlisle’s health, welfare, and retirement savings benefit programs are designed with our employees’ financial and physical wellness in mind. We recognize the burden that COVID-19 placed on our employees and their families. In light of this, Carlisle approved additional paid time off to schedule COVID-19 vaccinations and recover from any short-term side effects of the vaccine. We updated our Sick and Family Leave Policies as the pandemic evolved to ensure our employees maintained their health and safety. As a result, Carlisle maintained low infection rates throughout the pandemic. Carlisle also held employee health care costs flat from 2020 and into 2022, absorbing approximately $1,600 for individuals and $4,800 for families over the three-year period ending December 31, 2022. Carlisle will continue to offer the same superior, comprehensive benefits package without any changes to our plans in 2022. We also offer new voluntary benefits that provide supplemental financial support if an employee incurs a serious injury, hospitalization, or critical illness.

Employee Engagement

Employee Resource Groups

Employee Engagement Committees

Throughout the year, our businesses hold employee appreciation events. While some events are to celebrate achievements, others are just for fun. We actively seek to build asense of community and camaraderie within our workforce.

Employee Resource Groups

In recent years, Carlisle established Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) centered on a common purpose, providing a forum for individuals to collaborate and learn from one another. While ERGs supporting Veterans and leadership have been active for several years, one recent addition is Women Of Carlisle. Women of Carlisle, a grassroots effort, is a group dedicated to supporting the advancement of women. The group provides an open environment where participants can connect and build greater confidence and capacity for growth.

A Diverse and Inclusive Workplace

In 2021, we took steps to increase diversity within our workforce and further enhance collaboration and inclusion in our work environment. Carlisle has established D&I Councils at two of our business units with plans to expand in the future. The Councils work to support company-wide efforts on diversity and inclusion. Council members from different parts of our organization identify potential initiatives that further enhance our culture and present them to the Executive Team for approval. We also established new recruiting processes for Director+ roles to increase diversity in our candidate pools and limit unconscious bias. These processes will be cascaded further down in the organization in 2022. We set targets to achieve >30% gender diversity and >20% racial diversity for Director+ roles by 2025 in our two largest business units. While we had mixed success in 2021, we continue to work towards our long-term leadership diversity goal.

Investments in Education

Carlisle is committed to supporting the continuing education of our employees, our employees’ children, and in our communities. Over the past several years, we have significantly increased the investment in our education programs. While many employees receive reimbursement individually, Carlisle also has several company- and divisional-wide programs. These include the Furber Marshall Scholarship Program for children of employees completing high school and entering college in the fall of the same calendar year. Since 2004, we have provided 37 students with 4-year renewable awards for undergraduate study. In 2020, CCM partnered with Lebanon Valley College in Carlisle, PA to launch an onsite MBA program to promote continued business education for middle management and aspiring leaders. The first cohort of 20 employees completed their first year of the program in 2021 and is expected to graduate in May 2023.

Employee Stock Option Grant

Carlisle recognizes the role our employees play in our success, and we have a history of issuing stock option grants to align individual performance with long-term Carlisle success and ensure all employees have the opportunity to participate in that success. Most recently in May 2018, a one-time stock option grant or equity equivalent of 100 shares to all employees opened at $106.85 per share, ultimately vesting in May 2021 at $191.65. This represents nearly 80% appreciation in value. On October 3, 2022, Carlisle announced a new special stock option grant to all eligible employees, representing Carlisle’s third broad-based stock option or cash equivalent grant to employees in the last 12 years.
