SASB INDEX

The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standards, now part of the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation, provides industry-specific 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 ensuring ABC News is committed to Diversity & Inclusion. There are three pillars to ABC News’ Diversity & Inclusion efforts: SV-ME-260a.2
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’ 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.

• (2) Independence of content and/or transparency of potential bias: ABC News employees are hired to report and record news events, not to
participate in them. News employees should remain professionally detached in all situations and not take action that would be seen as favoring
one side or the other. We take particular care to act in a neutral and professional manner where the passions of others are engaged or aroused.
We must all share an uncompromising commitment to accuracy and fairness in reporting the news. We are committed to seeking out
knowledgeable and credible sources of information, as well as reaching out 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
Disney or other affiliated or subsidiary companies, we make clear disclosures about the relationship.
