Enterprise Bank & Trust: Enterprise Financial Services : Environmental Social and Governance Report 2024

2024 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT Creating Success by Prioritizing Community, Clients and the Environment A Message FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO Since our founding, Enterprise has made a positive impact on our clients, associates and the communities in which we live and work. Our dedication to making a positive impact continues today. One of the meaningful ways we are making a difference is through the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program, which helps us to fund and subsidize projects in underserved communities. In September, we were pleased to receive a $50 million allocation from the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of Treasury. This is the third time we have received an NMTC award in the last four years. This allocation allows us to continue our work with the NMTC program, which helps create jobs and increase access to community services for those who need it most. We continue to foster an environment where our associates and members of the communities we serve can flourish. As an example, for the second straight year we received the Center for Disability Inclusion's Seal of Accomplishment. The Seal is given annually to organizations that are leaders and influencers in advancing disability inclusion. As a part of this focus, we launched an employee resource group that supports associates with disabilities and provides training on how to contribute to fostering a workplace where all associates, including those with disabilities, can thrive. We appreciate that these efforts and our business success were frequently recognized externally in 2024. Those honors include being named for the seventh consecutive year to American Banker's list of Best Banks to Work For. We are also pleased to be recognized by 50/50 Women on Boards as a "3+" corporation, with three or more women on our Board of Directors, and by Mastercard ® Community Institutions Segment Awards as a "Doing Well by Doing Good" award recipient for our commitment to giving back to our communities. In the pages ahead, you will find much more information about our ESG efforts and the impact we are making.
