Table of Contents Human Capital Management As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately 72,000 associates located in over 70 different countries in a variety of different roles. We compete in the highly competitive medical technology industry. Attracting, developing and retaining talented people in techni cal, marketing, sales, research and other positions is  crucial to executing our strategy and our ability to compete effectively. Our ability to recruit and retain such talent depends on a number of factors, including compensation and benefits, talent development and career opportunities, and work environment. To that end, we invest in our associates in order to be an employer of choice. Our associates reflect the communities we live and work in, the customers and patients we serve, and possess a broad range of thought and experiences that have helped BD achieve our leadership position in the medical technology industry and the global marketplace. A key component of our journey to continually build a better BD is our commitment to global inclusion and diversity ("I&D"). We believe this commitment allows us to better our understanding of patient and customer needs and develop technologies to meet those needs. Our I&D efforts have garnered recognitions, including Best Places to Work for Disability and LGBTQ Inclusion, Bloomberg’s Gender Equality Index, and Diversity Inc’s Noteworthy Companies. Although we have made progress in our workforce diversity representation, we seek to continuously improve in this area. Each year, we establish annual corporate I&D goals to continue improving our hiring, development, advancement, and retention of diverse talent and our overall diversity representation. In addition, our executive leaders serve as sponsors of our nine associate-led resource groups ("ARGs") in support of their efforts to provide meaningful professional development for our workforce, drive business improvement and innovation and contribute to BD's role as a socially responsible community member. Externally, we are involved in industry I&D efforts as one of several companies taking a leadership role in AdvaMed’s efforts to improve diversity in the medical technology industry. We have also committed to leadership in I&D through our support for the Equality Act and the United Nations’ Open for Business program and organizations like The Human Rights Campaign, Equal Justice Initiative, and The United Negro College Fund. Through the BD Helping Build Healthy Communities initiative, we committed $22.6 million to support Direct Relief and the National Association of Community Health Centers in expanding the innovative practices of U.S. community health centers, which collectively serve more than 30 million U.S. patients – the majority of which are in underrepresented communities.

We also have a deeply-rooted practice of investing in our next generation of leaders and offer associates a number of leadership Associate Growth and Development 8
