0 Introduction Environmental Social Governance Indexes and Glossary Access to products Social Overview Inside Social and services Supporting Our Team Members Board and Workplace Diversity Products and Guest Experiences Built on Fairness and Equity Serving and Strengthening Communities Inclusive experiences and responsible marketing We sell thousands of curated items, including owned brand products, that give typically underserved guests the shopping experience they deserve. Our merchandising team works to reflect the diversity of our guests in the assortment we offer, including beauty and cosmetics, food, and dolls designed for diverse audiences. As the conversation around social justice and racial equity grows, more guests are searching for Black-owned and Black-founded brands. To make it easier for guests to find such products, we have added new icons in the “details” section of our products pages to highlight not only Black-, but also Latino-, Asian- and woman- owned suppliers. Partnering with peers, nonprofits and vendors from the communities we are addressing, 87% of our Black History Month assortment for 2022 was designed with and by Black creators and brands, while 59% of our Pride assortment was designed with and by LGBTQIA+ creators and brands. We also ran team member training for Black History Month, providing background on the current assortment and the collection’s history. We launched our Racism Untaught training workshops, which assist in identifying and addressing racialized design approaches by reimagining products, systems and experiences that help avoid micro-aggressions, implicit bias and systemic forms of racism. The training covers 762 owned brand team members, and we are extending the training to our enterprise and vendor partners. Our Inclusive Marketing Council is a cross- functional group that serves as a crucial source of guidance, helping teams gain a diverse cultural perspective and advocating for cultural literacy so that all guests feel heard, accepted and celebrated. For example, when it comes to our advertising, our swimwear campaigns celebrate people of all sizes, body types, abilities and skin tones, free of airbrushing. Target in action Improving the experience for guests with disabilities Exemplifying our Design For All approach, our Cat & Jack, Pillowfort, Universal Thread, Hyde & EEK! and Goodfellow & Co owned brands offer a selection of stylish and affordable sensory-friendly pieces, as well as adaptive apparel made specially for adults and children living with disabilities. Our internal design team incorporated features like sensory-friendly fabrics (or huggable furniture) and flat seams to help minimize discomfort and help make getting dressed and everyday life moments easier for everyone. We are also making guest-facing digital experiences fully accessible to all guests, including those who use assistive technology. Our digital accessibility team includes team members who represent both visible and invisible disabilities, and their perspectives and experiences are invaluable in informing the enhanced experiences we are developing. Reflecting our commitment to accessibility for all, Target scored 100% in the Disability:IN Disability Equality Index survey, and we are a Strategic Nonvisual Accessibility Partner of the National Federation of the Blind . 2022 Target ESG Report 45
