BNY MELLON ENTERPRISE ESG 53 RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS 2021 ACHIEVEMENTS ESG Data Management: Expanded the BNY Mellon ESG Data Analytics tool to support collateral management, securities lending and liquidity services. Responsible Investment: Increased number of RI funds to 27; grew assets managed by UN PRI signatories by 5.3% to $1.931 trillion * Inclusive Investment: Sponsored a global independent study, The Pathway to Inclusive Investment , calling for action to create a more inclusive investment world by encouraging more women to invest. Economic Opportunity: Contributed $3 million to South Carolina-based Optus Bank in support of investments in low- and moderate-income and minority communities as part of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Agent Mentor-Protégé Program. * A UM represents the aggregate total of investment firm signatories’ assets under management at December 31, 2021. Includes Alcentra, ARX Investimentos, Insight Investment (including North America), Mellon Investments Corporation, Newton Investment Management (including North America) and Walter Scott & Partners. It does not include assets managed by investment firm personnel as dual officers of The Bank of New York Mellon and BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. Siguler Guff AUM is not included in this calculation, given the minority interest in the firm held by BNY Mellon. Insight’s AUM is represented by the market value of cash, securities and derivatives held in client accounts. Where a client mandate requires Insight to manage some or all of a client’s liabilities, and Insight is to be paid an investment management fee based upon the value of such liabilities, the AUM for the account will be based on the value of the liabilities plus the gross notional value of any derivatives used in the management thereof. ** D ata reflective of FY 2021; Dealogic and Refinitiv. Investment Management The world is undergoing a dramatic transformation that requires the responsible allocation of capital to address pressing environmental and social challenges. Tackling the climate crisis requires transformation of vital sectors of the world’s real economy — including energy generation, transportation, food production and infrastructure — and replacement of energy-intensive technology with low-emissions alternatives. The scale of the proposed investment is unprecedented by historical standards: research from BNY Mellon IM economists suggests the challenge will be enormous but achievable with the right incentives. Against the context of this transformation, we expect RI to expand significantly and become a key driver of investment returns in the coming years. We believe it is increasingly important to manage active portfolios with a comprehensive analysis of the risks and opportunities associated with the transition to a more sustainable future. In the long run, we believe discretionary investments will increasingly be expected to deliver a twin benefit of financial returns and a positive impact to society, which in turn will drive innovation in client solutions and even greater demand for RI products. SPECIALIST INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS As one of the largest asset managers globally, and with a parent company that touches the entire investment cycle, at BNY Mellon IM, we believe we have the influence and ability to provide more sustainable returns for all our stakeholders, through innovations in our RI product range, stewardship activities and working collaboratively to expand our expertise on the most material ESG issues. We seek to create long-term value by placing the collective prosperity and effective stewardship of our clients’ assets at the heart of our business. Our multi-boutique model creates deep diversity of thought, which enables us to develop innovative solutions and ultimately deliver shared prosperity. Our specialist investment firms are all investor driven, and the stewardship of our clients’ assets is at the heart of what they do. The approach to RI varies across these investment firms, as each is governed by its own management team and specializes in different market areas — from publicly-traded equities and bonds to cash, alternatives and privately traded markets. Each Sustainable Bonds: Administered 169 new sustainable, social and green bond issuances, totaling $ 89 billion, making us one of the leading trustees in green bonds by deal volume for the second consecutive year. **
