State Street Releases its 2021 Annual ESG Report

 
 

2021 was a noteworthy year for ESG issues. A heightened focus on climate change, plus the continuing impact of COVID-19, drove ESG to the forefront for many industries, including financial services. Investors responded accordingly, demonstrating a growing desire to deploy capital with a sustainable purpose.

State Street’s 2021 ESG Report highlights the company’s progress in many areas of ESG by:

  • Operating in an environmentally responsible way.

  • Launching new ESG investment strategies.

  • Making progress on 10 Actions to Address Racism and Inequality.

  • Enhancing ESG governance structures.

Consistent with prior reporting, the company measures and discloses its ESG activities according to frameworks created by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

This report also fulfills State Street’s obligations as a signatory to the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, and describes how its activities support progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and includes its most recent EEO-1 disclosure.
