BNY MELLON ENTERPRISE ESG 82 GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP Waste Management In light of the growing environmental impacts related to waste in general and the accumulation of waste in landfills and corresponding release of methane, we look for ways to continually improve our waste diversion. Our approach includes recycling, composting, incineration at waste-to-energy plants, employee education, and thoughtful receptacle layout designs and signage. Beyond managing office waste, we prioritize reusing and recycling used furniture and non-technology equipment where possible. Recognizing the negative environmental impacts and potential health hazards associated with improper disposal, we maintain a no-landfill philosophy for end-user technology waste. In 2021, we recycled or properly disposed of over 220 tons of technology equipment. Through these combined efforts, we recycled 74% of our waste in 2021, which contributed to our landfill diversion rate of 75%. MANAGING PRINTING AND PAPER USE Due to the pandemic-related drop in office occupancy and remote working, BNY Mellon’s use of paper has decreased sharply. In line with our Purpose-Driven Growth Agenda and 2025 environmental sustainability goals, our new Managed Print initiative will help maintain that trend by encouraging a culture of “conscious printing.” As employees have become more accustomed to using collaboration tools and devices to communicate without paper, we are adopting a no-print philosophy under which materials would be printed on an exception- only basis. This campaign aligns with a concurrent global vendor and printer review, which will result in the reduction in multifunctional devices. We anticipate a host of environmental benefits from the utilization of fewer machines and corresponding reduction in energy use, ink cartridges and paper. This Managed Print initiative builds on our track record of five years of paper neutrality in the U.S. and India through conservation and a partnership with PrintReleaf, a certified offset program that plants a number of trees equivalent to the pages printed. In addition, we recycled 2.8 million pounds of paper in 2021 through our program to recycle confidential paper after destruction. PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY BNY Mellon plays a vital role in protecting a small, but very impactful part of our ecosystem by hosting beehives at several U.S. locations. By hosting these hives and urging our employees to protect and preserve honeybee populations, we are supporting pollinators that play a vital role in agriculture, food production and overall biodiversity. These efforts are especially critical given that the U.S. loses nearly one-half of all beehives every year. 42 SUSTAINABILITY AMBASSADORS During a period when substantial numbers of our employees continued to work remotely, we reimagined the role of our global internal employee network of over 400 Environmental Sustainability Ambassador members. As a new approach to engaging employees in environmental issues, we are introducing an online ESG data portal through which employees can access real- time, location-specific environmental performance data for BNY Mellon facilities globally. Our goal is to increase awareness and understanding that can lead to behavior change and positive environmental actions, such as the examples highlighted below. • Our Hong Kong Ambassador chapter conceived a program, in collaboration with the building landlord, to convert food waste into energy and compost • EMEA Ambassadors collaborated with employees around the world to produce a video, from the perspective of their children, on why sustainability is important • Our Pittsburgh chapter hosted a webcast to promote the many ways employees can act in a more sustainable manner in their daily lives REAL ESTATE AND WORKSPACES In 2020 and 2021, we developed a climate risk and scenario-based resiliency assessment of our real estate portfolio, which also reflects our support of the TCFD recommendations. This study identified emerging climate risks, in particular related to physical infrastructure, which helps to guide relevant investments and internal policies. In 2021, we advanced significant renovations at two prominent BNY Mellon locations in the UK and India and anticipate achieving 42 US beekeepers continue to report high colony loss rates, no clear progression toward improvement , Auburn University.
