 Third-party licenses, patents, trademarks, and franchises are not material to our business as a whole.OUR PEOPLE AND CULTURE Our HCM strategy is simple: our people have differentiated us for over 75 years and we remain committed to valuing, developing and engaging them. Our Chief Human Resources Officer (“CHRO”), together with our Executive Leadership Team, manages our HCM strategy and related programs and initiatives, as well as our talent strategy. Our CHRO, along with our CEO, as appropriate, regularly updates and supports our Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board (“CMDC”) as well as the Board of Directors on HCM matters. The CMDC is responsible for these matters, as well as our executive compensation program, company-wide equity-based plans, and our management succession planning and development program.  Our Associates As of June 30, 2025, our global team of associates consisted of approximately 67,000 persons. Our Culture and ValuesOver seventy-five years ago, our founders established values that still guide us today. We seek to create a values-based culture where every associate feels like they belong and can thrive. Our long-term business success is closely linked to our commitment to creating an environment in which our associates can achieve their full potential, and to do so we listen to and engage our associates. We conduct an annual culture survey, myVoice, where our associates can share their perspectives on important topics, including client service, culture, social responsibility, ethics and compliance, innovation and leadership. Along with many of our world-class clients, we leverage our innovative StandOut® powered by ADP platform, to help managers drive talent engagement throughout the year. We issue quarterly global StandOut® Engagement Pulse® surveys to ensure that all associates can share with their leaders how they feel about their work and their colleagues, and for us to get a snapshot of engagement across the globe.  Through our myMoment Recognition Program, we give our associates the opportunity to recognize and celebrate each other when they demonstrate our values, drive our goals and go above and beyond in contributing to our collective success. Our global ADP Cares program, which is funded by the ADP Foundation and our generous associates, helps members of our team get through difficult, unforeseen events such as natural disasters and major illnesses. We also proudly support our associates that give back to our communities through paid volunteer time off and our donation matching program.We value different perspectives and believe that our associates and their best ideas thrive in a diverse and inclusive environment.We have a number of initiatives to strengthen
