RESPONDING TO GLOBAL EVENTS Our ESG strategy also guides our response to global events, including our support for community resilience and equity. SUPPORTING HUMANITARIAN RELIEF EFFORTS IN UKRAINE In light of the attacks on the Ukrainian people, we have taken several actions to support our colleagues, customers, and the humanitarian relief efforts in the region. For example, we teamed up with Hilton to donate up to one million hotel room nights in hotels across Europe to support Ukrainian refugees and first responders who are helping them. We also enabled our US Consumer, Small Business, and Corporate Card Members who are enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program to use their Membership Rewards to support select charities that are providing humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine and affected parts of Europe and matched the dollar value of their contributions made using points with PayPal Giving Fund through June 15, 2022. We are continuing to match colleague donations through the American Express Match program. We also provided $1 million in aid to the following organizations that are providing assistance to impacted populations: • $250,000 to the International Rescue Committee (IRC) to provide necessary resources where they are needed most, including to those who have fled their homes. • $250,000 to the International Medical Corps (IMC), which has deployed mobile medical teams to provide essential emergency and primary health services, mental health and psychosocial support services, and COVID-19 awareness and prevention services to help keep affected populations safe from the pandemic. • $250,000 to the American Red Cross to support coordinated relief efforts by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and other Red Cross partners who are responding to urgent needs and providing technical assistance on the ground. • $250,000 toward UNICEF’s emergency appeal to support children and families as the crisis escalates with life-saving programs, safe water, emergency health, hygiene, education aid, and other immediate help for those in need of support.
