Project selection and reporting A committee consisting of representatives from Alphabet’s Sustainability, Treasury, and Finance teams evaluated a broad array of projects from across the company to identify Eligible Projects. The final allocation of net proceeds to Eligible Projects was reviewed and approved by Google’s Chief Sustainability Officer. Projects were selected based on the following factors: ˦ Consistency with eligibility criteria ˦ Alignment with our sustainability strategy ˦ Magnitude of environmental or social impact ˦ Ability to track and audit project expenditures, contractual commitments, and/or capital commitments To ensure transparency and alignment with our Framework, we committed to reporting annually on which projects have been funded from the bonds’ net proceeds and their expected sustainability impact. Information contained in this Sustainability Bond Impact Report is not incorporated in, and is not part of, any report or filing we make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We’ve received an Independent Accountants’ Report providing assurance of management’s assertion of our full allocation of net proceeds to Eligible Projects. 10 Alphabet Sustainability Bond Impact Report 2022 About our Sustainability Bond
