Transparency and alignment with external reporting frameworks We use industry-leading standards and frameworks to inform our ESG activities and measure our progress. We align our disclosures with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) , which includes environmental, economic, and social disclosures, as well as supplemental disclosures for the financial services sector. It also includes general disclosures in areas such as our supply chain, governance, ethics, and more. In addition, we use the standards of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) to guide the disclosure of sustainability information of interest to investors, including topics such as data privacy, data security, business ethics, and more. Further, we report annually in alignment with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), including our approach to climate-related governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. We also disclose outcomes from qualitative climate risk scenario analyses to assess physical and transition risks to our business related to climate change.
