As a global financial services company, we believe it is important to manage and mitigate our environmental footprint in a way that aligns with our business strategy and supports the needs of our clients and the broader economy.We manage our company with a focus on resilience; we operate to enable a trusted, sustainable, and inclusive financial system; and we empower our clients and partners with solutions that help meet their own sustainability objectives and advance an inclusive economy. To do this, we consider where we have the greatest opportunity to create value for our clients and where we can proactively and appropriately manage the effects of our business on the environment and communities where we operate, as well as the effects these factors can have on our business.Within our own operations, we prioritize understanding and managing our environmental footprint, from our emissions to our building standards and our efficient use of natural resources. We look to promote a workplace where people can thrive and in turn spark progress in their communities. We understand that environmental and social considerations continue to be important for our business and for our financial sector clients given increasing regulatory requirements and climate impacts globally. Finally, we remain ever focused on responsible business practices to remain a trusted partner to our clients and other stakeholders.Our 2024 Sustainability Report, which will be available later this year on our website. will provide a more comprehensive review of our firm-wide sustainability strategy, as well as details on the progress of key metrics.
