0 Introduction Environmental Social Governance Indexes and Glossary Social Overview Workplace health and safety Inside Social Supporting Our Team Members Board and Workplace Diversity Products and Guest Experiences Built on Fairness and Equity Serving and Strengthening Communities We strive to maintain a safe, healthy and secure working environment. We want our team members to follow laws, safety procedures and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, as well as be advocates for the safety of all team members. Our work is guided by our Safety Policy, which sets out high-level guidance on our safety requirements, as well as our Team Member Illness Policy and Disability Accommodation Policy. Safety and training Our goal is to prevent guest and team member incidents, injuries and illnesses, and to comply with all relevant safety and health standards. In both stores and our global logistics operations, we continue to prioritize safety in support of our commitment to being “the safest place to work and shop.” We expect team members to follow our health and safety programs and procedures closely, continuing to invest in our safety team. In 2022, we will have a dedicated Safety Manager in each supply chain facility. We require the use of PPE where applicable and the immediate reporting of incidents and near misses. We also encourage and empower team members to stop any unsafe action or condition that presents an imminent danger or risk, and assess and address that risk before resuming work. In addition, we have made substantial improvements and investments — for example, by establishing a risk assessment process to better align equipment and procedures with safety requirements. Target in action Our response to COVID-19 In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we reinforced our well-established risk processes by setting up a Leadership Task Force. As part of our executive leadership team, this six-member group (including our CEO) oversees the way we handle crises, including scenario planning. Team member health and safety The health, safety and well-being of our team has always been a top priority, and this continues to be even more true as we manage the ongoing impact of COVID-19. Throughout the pandemic, we have focused on helping healthy team members get to work while taking care of those who were ill and unable to work. We responded quickly by rolling out health, well-being and safety programs. In addition to implementing enhanced cleaning routines and social distancing protocols, we: • Waived our absenteeism policy. • Provided free backup care for both children and adults when regular access to care was unreliable. • Offered paid leave for quarantine and confirmed illness, and for vulnerable team members. • Made personal protective equipment (PPE), thermometers and at-home health checks available to all team members. • Provided access to free 24/7 virtual healthcare visits for all U.S.-based team members via the CirrusMD app, and continued to offer mental health counseling for all team members via Team Member Life Resources. As vaccination programs were rolled out, we removed barriers to access by providing discounted Lyft rides 54 to and from appointments where needed, and up to six hours paid time off for hourly team members to receive vaccines. We also currently offer paid time off for anyone suffering an adverse reaction after their vaccine. Industry support As an essential business, we have continued to operate across all states since the COVID-19 pandemic started. To support other businesses as they reopened, we developed the SAFE Retail toolkit . Available to any business adapting to new operating circumstances, the toolkit details the processes and tools Target adopted to sustain operations, while prioritizing the health and safety of our guests, team members and communities. In addition to presenting our learnings to small businesses via various webinars, we have shared the SAFE Retail toolkit with governors’ offices, business organizations and local- and county-level officials across the country, and made the full toolkit freely available online. Community response Over the past couple of years, Target and the Target Foundation have provided flexible and responsive funding to help community partners adapt to the changing landscape brought on by COVID-19. More than $10 million was invested to support community safety and recovery efforts. In 2021, we made a $5 million incremental commitment to community-based NGOs working to advance vaccine equity among diverse populations.
