Commitment Cardinal health

Improving Patient safety Cardinal Health works on many fronts to improve the quality of care. In 2007,
the company launched a $1 million Patient Safety Grant program to help hospitals drive safety improvements
within their facilities. As a lead sponsor for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s “5 Million Lives” campaign,
we’re also helping promote 12 key initiatives aimed at reducing harm in hospitals, and we sponsor the annual
Award for Excellence in Medication-Use Safety and other prestigious industry awards that recognize quality i
and best practices. Through the Cardinal Health Center for Safety and Clinical Excellence, the company brings
together industry leaders to develop and disseminate best practices, critical insights and innovations that help improve patient care.

Supporting our communities Cardinal Health and the Cardinal Health Foundation reach deep into the
communities where our employees live and work. Each year thousands of employees donate time and money
that is matched through the Cardinal Health Employees CARE program. In the last fve years, this popular
employee involvement program has distributed more than $15 million to charitable organizations nationwide.
The company and Foundation fund local, regional and national organizations that help improve access to
and delivery of quality healthcare services and improve the communities where we do business. Since it’s
inception, the Cardinal Health Foundation has awarded more than $10 million alone to regional and national
organizations committed to improving patient safety and access to quality care. More information can be found at cardinalhealth.com/community.

Living our values Cardinal Health proudly embraces values and behaviors that are ethical, people-driven,
performance-driven, innovative and collaborative (EPPIC). We express these EPPIC core values through a
variety of corporate social responsibility initiatives that support our business strategy and advance the interests
of our employees, customers, shareholders and communities. Our Ethics and Compliance department has
created education and outreach programs and developed a Standards of Business Conduct guide for all
employees. Among our many diversity and inclusion initiatives is a supplier diversity program that awards
approximately $2 billion of business annually to diverse suppliers and supports the supplier diversity initiatives
of more than 500 customers.
