^{Our ESG Strategy:

Working to Change the World Plan}

_{We believe meaningful, sustainable employment has the power to change the world.}

_{Today we are proud to be sharing our one-year progress on our ESG Strategy:}

The three pillars of our strategy plan – Planet, People & Prosperity, and Principles of Governance — are designed to address the most urgent issues we face and focus on where we can make the most impact, from climate change to the skills shortage. Our Working to Change the World Plan serves as a unifying force because we believe the future is built on partnerships and on all we can achieve collectively to create positive social change.

^{Global Alignment & Collaboration}

Our Working to Change the World plan reflects the United Nations Global Compact sustainability principles and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We have been actively engaged with the United Nations (UN) since signing the Global Compact in 2006. In 2015, the UN established the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), its blueprint for a more sustainable future. We are committed to promoting all the goals and are particularly focused on those goals where we can have the biggest impact:

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

Reduce inequality within and among countries

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for sustainable development

_{We remain strongly committed to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals where we believe we can make the most impact.”}
