Fair Opportunity and Inclusion

To achieve The Cigna Group’s mission, we strive for excellence and offer capabilities and solutions that address our stakeholders’ unique backgrounds, perspectives, experiences, and needs. We work with millions of customers and providers in more than 30 countries in which we operate. We have deep relationships with employers, government organizations, clinicians, physicians, and other stakeholders, and the communities in which we work and live. Meeting such a broad range of needs requires diverse perspectives to ensure our solutions are reflective of the population we serve.

| CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS |

We are committed to the principles of an inclusive workplace, with policies, programs and practices to support the breadth of needs of those we serve, each other, and the communities in which we work and live. As of the end of 2024, approximately 70% of our employees were women, 30% of our employees were men, and approximately 41% of our employees in the United States were ethnic minorities. Additional information on workforce demographics, including data based on our Employee Information Report (EEO-1), can be found in our next Environmental, Social, and Governance Report. In addition, our EEO-1 most recently filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is available on our website at https://www.thecignagroup.com/static/www-thecignagroup-com/docs/equal-employment-opportunity.pdf.

Through a company culture that emphasizes ethics and integrity, we aim to adhere to the policies included in our Code of Ethics and Principles of Conduct, which sets forth our commitment to treat all persons fairly and equitably. Additionally, we have long-standing, robust governance structures at both the Board and management level, including an actively engaged council comprised of executives and senior leaders who provide oversight over inclusion efforts. We work to ensure that all people actions, including recruiting, hiring, training, and promotions for all positions, are administered without regard to an employee’s race, ethnicity, nationality, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other classifications protected under applicable laws and regulations.

The progress we have made as a result of our inclusion initiatives has earned the trust of our many stakeholders, including our investors, customers, clients, employees, business partners, and regulators. For example,
