We’re proud to have achieved 27 Promises so far and are on track with several actions and efforts to deliver on the remaining 27.

Our External Diversity & Inclusion Council is one of our m ost important allies and partners in our DE&I journey. Made up of leading thinkers and advocates in the space, the Council helps us identify ways to support our goals and provides important context and feedback as we im plement our EIA plan. Internally, we have an Inclusion Council comprised o f leaders from across T-Mobile working to drive awareness, spark conversation, host community events, and encourage all employees to be exactly who or what they want to be. We also have a Leadership Task Force and an Internal Oversight Committee that provide strategic input and connect actions across the company that help drive our EIA plan. Programs Driving Progress Creating impactful programs for our employees and c ommunities is central to our EIA plan. Our award-winning Talking with Trailblazers s peaker series fosters courageous conversations with employees on topics impacting society by elevating the voices of diverse leaders from both inside and outside our company. In 2021, we hosted 11 conversations that included Black h istory and Black excellence with artist and activist Common, authenticity in the face of discrimination with former NFL Coach Katie Sowers, taking a stand on racism with actor and producer Daniel Dae Kim, prioritizing mental health with psychiatrist Dr. Jess Clemons, and elevating LGBTQ+ voices and experiences with Laverne Cox, to name a few. In total, more than 24,000 employees engaged with our Talking with Trailblazers series throughout the year. We also launched an enterprise-wide training called t he One Team, Together Learning Journey which takes employees through an expansive, multi-year experience to help them form more inclusive habits in the workplace. The training was developed with the NeuroLeadership Institute and infuses DE&I into how we work at T-Mobile. It’s designed to strengthen the habits and behaviors we need to empower each other, build connections and belonging, and inspire winning, together. Last but not least, we launched our Magenta Scholars p rogram in 2021 in partnership with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) to provide educational opportunities to students attending historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). This collaboration, which started with an investment of $500,000 for 18 scholarships, has grown to $3 million in support from T-Mobile, spanning both scholarships and the new National Black Talent Bank program. TMCF’s Magenta Scholars have an impressive 85% graduation rate— more than double the national graduation rate for Black students overall. Scholarship recipients will also have an opportunity to join the Un-carrier’s signature summer internship program and receive mentorship and professional development opportunities. 500% increased investment in Magenta Scholars from $500K to $3M 2021 DE&I Distinction Ranked in Forbes/Statista’s America’s Best Employers for Diversity list Recognized by Reuters Responsible B usiness Awards for DE&I 100% score received on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index for issues relating to LGBTQ+ employees, for the ninth year running 2021 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY REPORT OUR COMMUNITIES THE NUMBERS AND SMALL PRINT 30 OUR COMPANY THE ENVIRONMENT OUR GOVERNANCE OUR PEOPLE
