This report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Core option, Value Reporting Foundation's Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standard for Professional and Commercial Services, and the World Economic Forum (WEF) International Business Council's Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics. Like the Moody's Annual Report, much of this document describes matters relating to Moody's Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. When referring to "we" or "Moody's," except where otherwise noted, this report refers to Moody's Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Specific references to "Moody's Investors Service" and "Moody's Analytics" are examples of instances where the coverage diverges. In addition: (i) references to "the Board" refer to the Moody's Corporation Board of Directors, (ii) information and descriptions regarding Executive Compensation and Corporate Governance, like in the 2022 Proxy Statement, refer to Moody's Corporation and its executive officers, and (iii) information and descriptions relating to Ethics & Integrity, Risk Management, Climate, Responsible Sourcing, Cybersecurity & Data Privacy, Employee Training & Upskilling, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Employee Health & Well-being, Communities, ESG Solutions and ESG Integration, as well as our Sustainability Goals, are for Moody's Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where otherwise noted. All references to dollars are to U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, and "tonnes" refers to metric tons. Certain statements in this report are aspirational or otherwise forward-looking, and company goals are not guarantees or promises that all goals will be met. Actual results may differ materially from the company's expectations or predictions expressed in this report. Statistics, metrics and other performance measurements included in this report are estimates and may be based on assumptions or developing standards. Consistent with our holistic approach to sustainability, examples of products and services mentioned in this report include instances in which they have been provided for free, at a reduced cost and/or for a fee or cost.
