0 Board and Workplace Diversity Workplace diversity We embrace diversity, strive to offer everyone equitable opportunities and celebrate our team members’ differences. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) isn’t just the responsibility of a single team at Target. Inclusivity is a core value for a reason. We all play a role in making our environment one where all can thrive and belong. Having clear DE&I goals and targets helps us measure and accelerate our efforts. In 2021, we continued to make progress against our 2019– 2021 goals, supported by our diversity action committees and employee resource groups. For example, we increased the promotion of women, including women of color, to senior leadership levels. To accelerate our progress and reinforce our commitment, we announced a new set of 2022–2024 DE&I goals in February 2022. Our Board of Directors has a long history of gender and racial/ethnic diversity. As of January 29, 2022, 38% of Board members were female, while 31% were racially or ethnically diverse. DE&I strategy For over 16 years, our DE&I strategy has guided efforts in four areas: • Creating an inclusive work environment. • Delivering an inclusive guest experience. • Advancing workforce diversity. • Leveraging our influence to drive positive impact on society. Today, DE&I is integrated throughout the business, guided by a process of continuously listening to — and learning from — stakeholders and collaborating with leading DE&I groups.
