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 40 40 Better Lives We aim to create a forward-thinking, inclusive culture for our people and communities. We strive to foster a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where every individual can thrive, and we empower the communities we serve with financial knowledge, educational opportunities and the skills of tomorrow. In 2021, we continued to take concrete steps to further strengthen our approach to diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) at every stage of our employee lifecycle, while also extending this philosophy to our community engagement initiatives. For more than a decade, it's been clear to me that Moody's is a special place. Even as the world navigates through an era of uncertainty, at Moody's we know who we are and what we stand for, and we have a clear path for the journey ahead. I am honored to work here, particularly after witnessing Moody's growth as a company and the company's continued commitment to our core values. Our people are crucial to our business, and we are committed to offering our employees opportunities to learn, grow and bring their whole selves to work. In 2021, we affirmed our commitment to thrive by moving to a single performance management approach - Grow, Perform, Succeed (GPS) — that enables our employees and leaders to own their professional development and navigate their careers at Moody's. We also launched Moody's University, a new unified framework for delivering learning and development across the organization. I'm excited to watch these initiatives expand and evolve over the coming months and years. This past year we took concrete steps to enhance our diversity, equity and inclusion practices, both within our organization and in our broader communities. We continue to tie DE&I priorities to our business strategy and define its importance to our collective success — including equitable and fair compensation for our workforce. Our eight business resource groups offer employees with like backgrounds a chance to connect and participate in robust programming. Moody's people are smart, resilient and passionate — and with their partnership, we can build a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where every individual can thrive. There is still work to do, and I am excited to see where the organization can go from here by harnessing the incredible momentum we've built. We understand our responsibility outside the four walls of our business to empower our communities by doing what we know best and working together toward a healthier future. This commitment is woven into the fabric of the company and its culture. Thank you, Maky Maral Kazanjian Chief People Officer
