With the right backing, people and businesses have the power to progress in incredible ways. At American Express, our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) mission is to back people and businesses to thrive and create equitable, resilient, and sustainable communities globally. As part of our ESG strategy, we established long-term goals and objectives across three critical areas for our company, stakeholders, and society: Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I); Advance Climate Solutions; and Build Financial Confidence. In 2021 and 2022, we made significant progress toward these goals, and we encourage you to learn more about our efforts in our 2021-22 ESG Report.

Within our second DE&I Report, we’re excited to offer a glimpse of the Team Amex colleague experience through firsthand accounts and personal stories from our colleagues around the world. We also share the many ways we actively cultivate a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.
