Social Justice Courtesy, Dignity, and Respect are core values at Albertsons Companies. They are the foundation of our associate training, and by living these principles, we strive to make a difference in our operations, communities, and beyond. We condemn hate or discrimination of any kind, and this past year has underscored the importance of standing together to boldly face inequity and injustice head on. SUPPORTING CAUSES TO ADVANCE SOCIAL JUSTICE: Last year, we formed a Racial Justice & Equity Advisory Group, which advised us on our $5 million commitment from Albertsons Companies and the Albertsons Companies Foundation to the following social justice organizations to help our communities lay a foundation for racial equity and social justice: SUPPORTING ASSOCIATES: Last year we seized the opportunity to prioritize courageous conversations within our teams to achieve meaningful change. To create a safe and inclusive environment where associates could share thoughts, feelings, and experiences, we held company- wide town halls, reenergized our Associate Resource Groups, and launched an interactive workshop, “Leading with Inclusion.” We continuously review our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) practices and training, and are always working to do more and better. In 2020, we launched a new DE&I aspiration and accompanying framework to achieve it. Since then, we have been diligently working on expanding programs and resources across our company. $1 million donation toward our African American Associate Resource Group’s efforts to partner with local organizations who support communities and neighborhood actions in our market areas. $1 million donation to the City of Chicago’s Together Now fund. $2 million donation toward the social justice efforts of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and the National Urban League Inc. $1 million reserve fund for social justice and diversity initiatives in the future, including community outreach, supplier diversity, and ongoing education. – Vivek Sankaran, CEO Listening with compassion and taking action whe n it is needed are critical to ensuring that racism and hatred have no place at our company. 12 Environmental Social Governance Report 2020 13 Compassion
