Letter from Chief Executive Officer

As a leading human capital management solutions provider who supports over 920,000 clients in more than 140 countries, ADP’s influence is far-reaching, as is our
responsibility to uphold the highest standards of care, quality and consideration of the global community. We have a duty as global citizens to act responsibly for
the greater good, to enable truly inclusive cultures and to do our part to protect shared resources. We believe those commitments require clear objectives,

Identifying our ESG priorities by aligning with best practices

ADP has a multi-faceted approach to identifying the environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities that have the most potential to impact the financial
value of our business. First, we draw from our talented pool of associates who have an astounding breadth of knowledge as it pertains to human capital
management and identifying the correlation between successful companies and engaged employees. Our associates also have deep expertise in the areas of
risk management and sustainable operations, which gives us a well-rounded body of knowledge to draw from. In addition to our associates, we also benefit
from interactions with other stakeholders such as our clients, investors, suppliers, communities, policymakers and both governmental and non-governmental
organizations that have engaged with us over time on these topics.

Integrated assurance and risk management


All assurance functions, including both Global Compliance and Global Ethics, take an integrated, systemic approach
to risk management. They are based on a coordinated model of coverage between business line management, which
has responsibility for the day-to-day control environment and the assurance functions. Our Board of Directors, acting
directly and through its committees, is responsible for the oversight of ADP’s risk management activities. With Board
oversight, ADP has implemented programs and practices that are designed to inspire ethical behavior, manage and govern
risk to protect the Company’s brand and reputation and grow shareholder value.

In 2021, we took the next step in bolstering our risk management processes by adding a new leadership position of Chief
Data Officer (CDO) and have continued to improve our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. Our CDO will use our
existing ERM structures to identify areas of opportunity. Through this process, the CDO will help our team reevaluate
how we capture and address data risks, the findings of which will integrate with and further enhance our overall ERM
process.

As we continue building upon and improving our risk and assurance procedures, we are planning to perform an assess-
ment against an independent framework to further assess opportunity. We are committed to continuously improving and
investing in our risk management program for both our own security and our clients’ peace of mind.

ADP’s innovation strategy

As the creator of the payroll outsourcing industry, innovation is central to ADP’s identity. For
over 70 years, we’ve led the way in defining the future of business solutions. Our strategy is
simple: We innovate by anticipating the future of work and taking action in a way that empow-
ers us to shape its trajectory and address critical workforce needs through our solutions.

ADP provides clients with insights about their workforce, helping them better manage their human capital. We also
deliver innovation by creating tailored HCM ecosystems to suit each client’s individual need, resulting in a unique solution
that isn’t offered elsewhere. We’re using data to transform how great work gets done.

In harnessing the power of big data through machine learning (ML), ADP recognizes the importance of accountability,
transparency, privacy, explainability and governance, and in furtherance of those goals has established an active AI & Data
Ethics Committee, comprised of both industry leaders and ADP experts, which advises on emerging industry trends and
concerns and provides guidance with respect to compliance with the principles that ADP should follow while developing
products, systems and applications that involve artificial intelligence, ML and big data. Our AI & Data Ethics Committee
has published an Ethics in AI position statement, outlining a set of principles and processes that we have adopted to gov-
ern our ethical use of newer technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At ADP, we know an inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives cultivates the best ideas. We continually strive to
create a space where everyone is appreciated and valued for their unique individuality. That’s why we make diversity, equity
and inclusion (DE&I) the pillar of our one-of-a-kind culture and a business imperative. Our workforce is reflective of the commu-
nities where we live and work and the clients we serve. We believe in embedding these principles throughout ADP’s business,
from our policies to our products.

Greenhouse gas emissions


In calendar 2020, we continued to improve our greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory data collection and management processes. For example, over the past couple years,
we implemented an independent, third-party verification process that began with a review and verification of our 2019 U.S. GHG emissions (our main source of
emissions). We are proud to announce that we expanded this verification on a global basis for our calendar 2020 GHG emissions reported below. This also marks
the 4th year we will be reporting our greenhouse gas emissions in all 3 scopes. With work-from-home arrangements still widely prevalent, our offices are not
being used as much when compared to previous years, and in conjunction with our emission reduction efforts, we saw significant decrease in total emissions.
