2022 ASB Environmental, Social and Governance Report

THRIVING EMPLOYEES

Last October, we once again demonstrated our support for the LGBTQIA+ community as a Visionary Sponsor for the Honolulu Pride Festival and Parade. We rainbow ed out our 11-story ASB Campus with colorful exterior building lights and decorated the front lawn with oversized illuminated “Aloha Wins” marquee letters flanked by hundreds of rainbow pinwheels. Our ASB has IDEAS Council rallied more than 100 teammates to participate in the Honolulu Pride Parade by riding in our ASB Pride trolley and walking through Waikiki while handing out cool logo items. Thousands of community members stopped by our Pride Festival booth and were greeted by members of our IDEAS Council (wearing rainbow tutus, of course!) to learn more about our open, diverse and inclusive company culture. To connect with those in the LGBTQIA+ community who are struggling with their own personal journey, our ASB Pride video series featured teammates, including two

members of our Management Committee, sharing their Pride stories. To have a truly inclusive culture, it takes everyone doing their part and holding each other accountable. Every member of our team completes a Respect in the Workplace training and 90-minute interactive session on “Finding the ‘I’ in Diversity & Inclusion,” which encourages teammates to explore topics related to bias and non-inclusive behaviors. We want people from all walks of life to feel welcome and we believe the world is a better place when people live authentically and share their unique experiences, backgrounds and journeys. In 2022, ASB received Pacific Business News’ Business of Pride award, which celebrates individuals and companies in Hawaii that have contributed and supported diversity, inclusion and equity efforts in meaningful ways.

“Creating a workplace culture that is truly founded on diversity and inclusion involves looking at data, tracking it to see how you’re using it to make better decisions, changing your practices and behaviors, and creating a safe space for open, honest dialogue. I’m proud to work for a company where nearly 65% of our teammates are women, 40% of our executives are female and 20% of executives identify as GBTQIA+.” — Beth Whitehead , EVP, Chief Administrative Officer
