Reporting and Self- Assessment Requirements High-Level Summary of Bank’s Response References 1.2 Describe how your bank has aligned and/or is planning to align its strategy to be consistent with and contribute to society’s goals, as expressed in the SDGs, the Paris Agreement, and relevant national and regional frameworks. Many of our activities support the SDGs, including sustainable finance such as renewable energy project finance and public sector finance; corporate philanthropy; Citi Impact Fund investments; inclusive finance activity and employee diversity programs. Citi is also part of the Global Investors for Sustainable Development (GISD) Alliance, which is committed to accelerating the financing of the SDGs. Examples of our initiatives that align with and contribute to society’s goals are summarized below: $1 Trillion Sustainable Finance Commitment In 2021 we announced our $1 trillion sustainable finance by 2030 commitment. This extends our prior five-year, $250 Billion Environmental Finance Goal to $500 Billion by 2030, and includes a $500 Billion Social Finance Goal towards financing in areas such as affordable basic infrastructure, affordable housing, diversity and equity and economic inclusion, among others. Sustainable Progress Strategy Climate change is integrated into the three pillars of our Sustainable Progress Strategy: • Low-Carbon Transition: our work to finance and facilitate low-carbon solutions and support our clients in their decarbonization and transition strategies • Climate Risk: our efforts to measure, manage and reduce the climate risk and impacts of our client portfolio • Sustainable Operations: our efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of our facilities and further integrate sustainable practices across our global operations Fossil Fuel Sector Approaches Under our Environmental and Social Risk Management (ESRM) Policy, we have updated our Sector Approaches for fossil fuel industries, such as thermal coal mining, coal-fired power and Arctic oil and gas. We have included a commitment to eliminate our exposure to thermal coal mining companies by 2030, as well as requirements for clients with coal-fired power generation to engage with Citi on low-carbon transition strategies. Net Zero Commitment In 2021, Citi announced its commitment to net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, including net zero GHG emissions for its operations by 2030. In early 2022, we released our initial net zero plan, baseline emissions and 2030 emissions reduction targets for our Energy and Power loan portfolios. Action for Racial Equity As part of our Action for Racial Equity , Citi and the Citi Foundation have committed $1 billion in strategic initiatives through 2023 to help close the racial wealth gap. Citi Impact Fund We established the Citi Impact Fund, through which we are investing in “double bottom line” companies that are addressing societal challenges and have expanded this fund over recent years. Pathways to Progress Citi and the Citi Foundation’s Pathways to Progress initiative aims to build job skills and equip young people, particularly those from underserved communities, with the skills and networks for improved economic opportunity. In addition to the examples above, Citi has adopted or publicly endorsed a large number of external principles and standards that inform our approach to sustainable finance and risk management and allow us to provide innovative financial services that enable growth and economic progress while meeting our responsibilities to people and the planet.
