2022-2023 ESG Report

American Express’ 2022-2023 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report highlights our progress on our ESG strategy and roadmap announced in 2021 to advance our goals across three core pillars: Build Financial Confidence; Advance Climate Solutions; and Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I).

 

ESG Strategy Pillars

At American Express, our ESG mission is to back people and businesses to thrive and create equitable, resilient, and sustainable communities globally. We seek to mobilize our business to address pressing global challenges and deliver high impact initiatives to serve our colleagues, customers, and communities.

In 2021, we launched a new roadmap for our global ESG strategy, establishing new long-term goals and objectives across three critical areas for our company, stakeholders, and society: Build Financial Confidence; Advance Climate Solutions; and Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I). Over the last year, we have made significant progress on our goals, which are detailed in our 2022 – 2023 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report.
