BNY MELLON ENTERPRISE ESG 35 CULTURE AND PURPOSE SPOTLIGHT Restoring Daily Lives in India As waves of COVID-19 cases strained India’s healthcare infrastructure in mid-2021, we instituted measures targeted at the personal and professional wellbeing of our employees in that country. These steps included supplemental COVID-19 care, on-site COVID-19 vaccination events, meals to the ill, 24/7 nurse support, equipment availability, support for families of employees who passed away, healthcare, assistance for childcare, and other health- and wellbeing-related resources. These market- specific benefits augmented the enterprise-wide COVID-19 relief measures described above. WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY In keeping with our commitment to social responsibility, BNY Mellon is invested in protecting the health and safety of our employees globally and asking that our suppliers commit to doing the same for their employees. Through our Code of Conduct, internal policies and initiatives, we strive to promote employee health, safety and wellbeing. See details in our Health and Safety Statement . OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT Ongoing humanitarian challenges have sharpened the urgency of addressing inequality. The dual health and economic challenges of the past two years have prompted not only a reevaluation of work and life, but also an understanding of how disparately those who are underserved are affected. Recovery from the pandemic and rebuilding in an equitable way will require effort from all sectors of society. With their financial and human capital, businesses can take the lead in rebuilding a future in which all can reach their full potential and participate in healthy, vibrant communities. Our Opportunity and Approach Our long-term success is linked to the strength of the global economy and the resiliency of our industry. To meet the needs of the moment and deliver on our core values, we actively support the communities where we live and work. By bringing the firm’s full resources to bear, we empower philanthropic organizations around the world to build their capacity and meet the emerging needs of the individuals they serve. To achieve the greatest impact, BNY Mellon 14 leverages our philanthropic funding along with the skills and expertise of our people and our leading role in the global financial services ecosystem. We address many issues important to our employees and our business — from the environment to human rights — with a strategic focus on developing a diverse workforce equipped to meet the demands of a technologically driven society. We also recognize that underserved communities have been disproportionately affected by the ongoing effects of COVID-19, and our response reflects our commitment to prioritize equitable health and financial relief and recovery. 14 BNY Mellon is the corporate brand name of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and may be used to reference the corporation as a whole and/or its various subsidiaries generally.
