SASB INDEX

The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standards, now part of the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation, is a set of standards to guide the disclosure of
sustainability information by companies to their investors. The following index maps our disclosures
to certain SASB indicators. Given our broad array of businesses that span multiple industries
around the globe, we have focused this year’s reporting on the recommended indicators for the
“Media & Entertainment” and “Internet Media & Services” industries. Where relevant, we also
highlight select information relevant to the “Leisure Facilities,” “Hotels & Lodging,” “Restaurants,”
“Cruise Lines,” “Apparel, Accessories, and Footwear,” and “Toys & Sporting Goods” industries. As
our businesses continue to grow and evolve, we expect to advance and refine our disclosures over
time. Metrics and disclosures are reported on an enterprise-wide level, unless otherwise indicated.

MEDIA PLURALISM Description of policies and procedures to ABC News is committed to Diversity & Inclusion. There are three pillars to ABC News' Diversity & Inclusion efforts: SV-ME-260a.2
ensuring pluralism in news media content • PEOPLE—Our people, at all levels, should reflect the life experiences of our audiences. This is reflected across all staffing levels,
correspondents, executives, managers, producers, writers, editors, and junior staff.
• CONTENT—Our work is relevant to a rapidly diversifying audience. This is reflected in the growth of content and story coverage
that focuses on the experiences and interests of diverse audiences at the intersection of race, politics, culture, and lifestyle.
• CULTURE—Our environment promotes curiosity, innovation, and ideas from everyone. This is reflected in a number of initiatives,
including the News Division–wide “Everyday Inclusion” program, relevant employee committees, and frequent Diversity & Inclusion
workshops and discussions programmed throughout the year.
ABC News’s commitment to the straightforward pursuit of truth drives all our work across platforms in established and new-and-
emerging technologies. Our success lies in our dedication to the highest-quality journalism, which means a commitment to fairness,
compelling storytelling, and, of utmost importance, uncompromising accuracy. We expect employees to approach their work with
rigor, to question thoroughly and skeptically, and to analyze deeply.
We continue to build on the exceptional legacy of ABC News, upholding high standards in journalism, while also leading in
innovation. Our editorial integrity and commitment to accuracy provide the foundation for the outstanding work that we do.

Action that damages that reputation, or even gives the appearance of compromising it, harms both ABC News and the individuals
involved. All employees of ABC News are, therefore, required to abide by the letter and spirit of our policies and to be alert to
subtle efforts that could have the effect of compromising the integrity of ABC News.

for and carefully evaluating comments from those accused of wrongdoing and others with relevant information and perspectives on
the matters that we are covering. When ABC News covers stories about The Walt Disney Company or other affiliated or subsidiary
companies, we make clear disclosures about the relationship.
(3) Protection of privacy and limitation of harm: News staffers receive extensive guidance and training on privacy concerns and
other legal issues through legal and standards training sessions. And as a regular part of our newsgathering process, there are
targeted reporting meetings to discuss journalistic and legal issues.
Similarly, the mission of ESPN is to provide credible, timely, contextual, and trustworthy information. This mission is supported by
detailed editorial guidelines intended to protect ESPN’s journalistic credibility across platforms and with the oversight of the
ESPN Editorial Board. ESPN reviews its performance against these standards on an ongoing basis and regularly reviews and
provides training on guidelines for personnel. Ultimately, every member of the ESPN editorial teams is responsible for upholding
the reputation and integrity of ESPN reporting.
