2021 Stakeholder Sustainability Report

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO 2021 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS ABOUT MOODY'S BETTER BUSINESS BETTER LIVES BETTER SOLUTIONS APPENDIX Moody's 2021 Stakeholder Sustainability Report 63 Employee Health and Well-being We are committed to protecting the safety, health and well-being of all employees and individuals in our workplace, and expect our employees to take reasonable care to further those efforts. To this end, we offer our employees a comprehensive range of programs with resources and support for physical, mental and financial well-being, as well as support for flexible work arrangements. Our approach to employee health and well-being aims to: » >>> Create a workplace where employees feel valued and inspired; Provide an environment that fosters a culture of independence, inclusion and intellectual leadership; and Support peer collaboration and professional growth. We began developing a comprehensive, enterprise-wide well-being strategy, which will be implemented in 2022. The strategy places an even greater emphasis on holistic wellness and support as employees continue to operate in a hybrid work environment. We also continued our work to ensure the physical and financial health and safety of our employees and differentiate our compensation and benefits offerings to accommodate our changing environment. PLACING EMPLOYEE WELL- BEING AT THE CENTER OF HOW WE WORK As the COVID-19 pandemic continued to shape the lives of our employees in 2021, our wellness programs and initiatives aimed to address the psychosocial and mental health risks associated with lockdowns and the isolation that may result from working from home. Targeted support also aimed to meet employees where they are on their wellness journey and encourage greater work- life balance: » » No-Meeting Fridays: a number of teams participated in this program, which included coordinated holiday weeks or time off; Well-being allowance: received by all employees at year-end to use at their discretion to support mental or physical wellness; and Office equipment stipend: available to employees at the Assistant Vice President (AVP) level or below for furniture or peripherals to help improve their ability to work remotely. We continue to monitor the risk presented by the pandemic and emerging variants, and we remain ready to respond to protect the health and safety of employees. We supported global vaccination efforts by providing employees with time off to get themselves and their children vaccinated. OUR KEY 2021 WELLNESS SUPPORT INITIATIVES » >>> » Coronavirus intranet site: offers a wide variety of information to support employees, from access to employee assistance programs to tips for remote working. Global ergonomics program: online assessments and guidance helps employees set up their in-office and at-home workstations, including through our Moody's Moments that Matter series. International wellness days: we marked days such as World Mental Health Day on October 10 by providing a series of discussions, employee stories and information about accessing support. 1 Refers to employees on Moody's payroll.
