BNY MELLON ENTERPRISE ESG 60 RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS Asset Servicing and Digital As the “bank of banks,” we power the financial industry through our unique perspective, informed by one of the largest data sets in the world. Our consolidated Asset Servicing and Digital capabilities are transforming investment management with increased transparency and accelerated information delivery. We provide access to a vibrant data ecosystem powered by our proprietary application that both aligns future investments to clients’ ESG priorities and continually improves and optimizes the use of ESG data and metrics. With socially responsible and sustainable investing growing in importance, investors are becoming much more specific in communicating their ESG priorities — whether for portfolio management, managing climate- related risk or trying to create impact. Consequently, our consolidated Asset Servicing and Digital organization handled a growing demand for ESG integration and ESG- related data in 2021. Our powerful, artificial intelligence (AI)-informed ESG Data Analytics tool harmonizes data across many sources to support investment decision processes. Clients can use this tool to consolidate sustainability data from multiple sources into actionable portfolio monitoring, analysis and reporting. Our award-winning application 25 creates transparency and alignment between market participants, enabling them to build customized sustainable investment solutions. It draws on BNY Mellon’s data management expertise and wide network of clients. Selected ESG data can also be incorporated into customizable reporting solutions so that institutional investors can communicate the ESG exposures within investment portfolios, including financial impact, carbon metrics and other factors. 25 Best New Technology Introduced over the Last 12 Months (AI, machine learning and analytics), American Financial Technology Awards 2020; Technology Innovation of the Year, Global Investment Group Excellence Awards 2020 . EXPANDING OUR ESG DATA ANALYTICS TOOL We further enhanced the BNY Mellon ESG Data Analytics tool by integrating additional data sources, including proprietary ESG and climate intelligence from firms who have made their role in the ecosystem public. Through ESG Data Analytics, BNY Mellon clients will now be able to integrate these comprehensive ESG analytics into their asset allocation, portfolio management and reporting needs. This increases our ability to meet clients’ changing priorities and requirements, including their need for powerful tools to holistically manage their data at scale in the cloud, and to better align their ESG funds with regulatory or self-defined frameworks and standards. In addition, ESG Data Analytics functionality was incorporated into other BNY Mellon offerings as described below. • Investment boutiques are using ESG Data Analytics for research across data sets, clients' reporting and investor solutions for ESG/sustainable funds. • LiquidityDirect SM clients are now able to use ESG Data Analytics to quickly and easily analyze the ESG ratings of eligible investment options. This functionality helps them to align their cash investments in commercial paper (CP) and exchange- traded funds (ETFs) with their corporate social and ethical values. • RULE ® , our electronic collateral schedule manager, offers clients the ability to incorporate ESG factors into their collateral negotiations and decisions. • Our ESG Regulatory Reporting Service, powered by ESG Data Analytics, helps clients meet a range of reporting requirements, including those of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the TCFD. In an effort to create transparency on the state of the market, we published a number of thought leadership papers, including A Data-Driven Approach to Responsible Investment , which addresses investors’ ESG preferences and the data required to support these preferences. We also aimed at demystifying climate risk scenario analysis with Helping Investors Understand Climate Risk , a practical case study. Both papers reflect our ESG investor community focus where experimentation and sharing are encouraged.
