SAN JOSE, Calif BUSINESS WIIRE)–Nov 8, 20,21–Outset Medical, Inc., (Nasdaq OM: OM) (“Outset”), a pioneering medical technology company, today released its inaugural Environmental, Social, and Governance report. This report highlights its ESG-related programs, priorities, goals, and performances. “Our ESG journey at Outset is rooted in our mission of catalyzing permanent and profound change in how, where, and when dialysis is delivered to lower cost and restore identity and agency to patients,” stated Leslie Trigg (President and Chief Executive Officer). We are committed to patients and providers and will continue to innovate a dialysis delivery system and equipment that hasn’t changed in decades. This is consistent with our focus on operating responsibly, sustainably and transparently. Our inaugural ESG Report provides insight into the important results we have achieved so far and how we plan on building on that momentum. “Outset’s first year of being a public company was marked by notable ESG achievements. These include: Raising awareness about patient disparities in kidney care
Outset has been a major advocate for patient-centric policies that improve the lives and quality of life for dialysis patients. This is especially important considering COVID-19’s disparate effect on people of color and people with end stage renal disease. We are working with top patient-focused organizations to increase access to home healthcare, drive better outcomes and help eliminate racial disparities when it comes to kidney patients using home dialysis.

Outset’s Board is composed of more women than men. This composition puts us in a select group that is leading the way in closing the gender gap within corporate boardrooms. We plan to push even further to set a new standard in diversity, equity and inclusion.

When we built our OMM manufacturing plant, environmental sustainability was a major focus. This included water conservation and recycling, energy efficiency and waste management. In our first year of operation, we set ambitious water recycling goals that were exceeded by our employees. We set ambitious workplace goals and exceeded them in our first year of operation. The report addresses specific standards defined by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) for the Medical Equipment and Supplies industry, and includes an index with relevant SASB disclosures.To view Outset’s ESG report, please visit the ESG section of the Company’s investor relations website: http://investors.outsetmedical.com/environmental-social-and-governanceAbout Outset Medical, Inc.Outset is a medical technology company pioneering a first-of-its-kind technology to reduce the cost and complexity of dialysis.
