BNY MELLON ENTERPRISE ESG 2 ABOUT THIS REPORT ABOUT THIS REPORT This is BNY Mellon’s 15th report covering environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. Our annual updates in this report are not just about our company’s environmental and social impact, but also about how we view and integrate ESG considerations throughout our operations, leveraging opportunities and mitigating risks cross-functionally and across our lines of business. We publish our Enterprise ESG report annually, generally in the second quarter, on www.bnymellon. com/futurefirst . Unless otherwise noted, this report includes data and activities from BNY Mellon’s global operations for the calendar year 2021, and all data is as of 12/31/2021 and covers The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and its subsidiaries. The report also provides select data from past years in order to facilitate year-over-year analysis. The methodologies, assumptions and estimates used to calculate climate- related data (including greenhouse gas emissions) throughout the industry are continuing to develop and are likely to change in future periods, including as a result of regulatory or other developments. As such, this could result in changes to the data, scope and time periods presented. This is our 13th report using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, a leading sustainability reporting framework. This report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards Comprehensive option.
