###### 11.6 OUR POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT\n\nOur commitment to doing the right thing guides everything we do, including our work to help develop public policy and legislation that supports priorities related to our business. Reporting up through the general counsel and working with the business units, Energizer Holdings' global Government Affairs team leads our participation in the public policy-making process at the national, state and local levels, as well as internationally.\n\nSince 2015, Energizer Holdings has not made contributions from corporate funds to political campaigns, super political action committees or political parties. We comply with all applicable laws that require reporting on lobbying and related activities. In 2022, Energizer Holdings spent $381,600 in lobbying expenditures globally.\n\nTo gain valuable access and insight into specific industry best practices and lobbying activities on issues most relevant to our business, Energizer Holdings participates in a number of state and national trade associations. Our colleagues frequently serve in a leadership capacity within many of these organizations as well. The state and federal associations we support focus on educating the public on the importance of certain issues within our industry and advocating on legislative and regulatory issues specific to our industry. As a result, these trade organizations use a portion of contributions for non-deductible lobbying activities. Information on payments to trade associations in 2022, which may be used for potential [political purposes, appear here.](https://www.energizerholdings.com/docs/default-source/investors-financial-information/ehi-trade-association-lobbying-spend-2022.pdf)\n\nWe do not make direct contributions to other tax-exempt organizations, such as 501(c)(4)s, that the recipient may use for political purposes, and we maintain an internal policy to help ensure the company and its colleagues adhere to our political involvement guidelines.\n\nAt the same time, Energizer Holdings does not attempt to control, direct or influence any colleague's political activities or affiliations. Colleagues engaging in personal political activity must do so as private citizens, not during paid work hours, at their own expense and without using any company resources.
