BNY MELLON ENTERPRISE ESG 40 CULTURE AND PURPOSE equip organizations through our Pro Bono Accelerator, the Signature Pro Bono program’s one-day consulting marathon. • Diversity, Equity & Inclusion professionals helped the youth mentorship organization SEEDS-Access Changes Everything to create an Anti-Racist Hiring Policy • Employees from the Enterprise Resiliency Office advised Getting Out and Staying Out, a nonprofit which fights recidivism, on developing a business continuity plan • A team of the company’s real estate experts drafted floor plans for The Food Project, helping the non- profit to envision its new community food center Our Cross-Sector Fellowship, the Signature Pro Bono Program’s multi-week consulting engagement, boasted its largest-ever global cohort in 2021. Cross-functional teams collaborated with nonprofit leaders to develop new products and processes that will have a sustainable impact on organizations’ reach and efficiency. As part of one Fellowship project, a team from Digital and Global Operations & Technology advised Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on an enterprise technology transformation, which resulted in the organization hiring its first chief technology officer. Separately, in India, employees have devoted additional pro bono hours to developing mobile applications for the visually impaired and building a website for Cancer Institute (WIA), among other technology projects. In addition BNY Mellon employees donated their time and legal skills to address inequities and advance human rights . SKILLED VOLUNTEERING In addition to pro bono advising, BNY Mellon employees engaged in skills-based volunteering during 2021. Of the 45,000 hours of employee volunteering, 89% were skills- based, representing the highest percentage of skills- based volunteer hours contributed in one year since we began tracking this metric as a KPI in 2020. Using their general professional experience to mentor, coach and educate others, our people are helping to open possibilities for some of society’s most underserved populations. For example: • Employees helped immigrants prepare for their U.S. citizenship interview through Literacy Pittsburgh • Technology professionals served as hackathon coaches for young entrepreneurs from Title I high schools in New York City as part of Futures in Tech.
