2021 Environmental Social & Governance Report

ADVANCING SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH INVESTMENT RESEARCH
We produce robust ESG-focused investment research to meet investors’ needs for timely insights and analysis that 
support their sustainability and ESG investment strategies. In 2021, our Firm published over 900 ESG-related reports 
across key regions to address investors’ needs for strategic and thought-leading ESG analyses. Our published ESG 
content has included regular thematic thought pieces on key developments in ESG & Sustainability, collaborative pieces 
between ESG and Sector analysts that assessed ESG issues with industry context, and our ESGQ methodology, a 
proprietary scoring which combines data designed to capture the long-term corporate responsibility profiles of 
companies and their evolution over time with more frequently updated data points. In addition, in the “J.P. Morgan 
Perspectives” series, we published several departmental ESG collaborations, most notably focusing on the challenges 
posed by the energy crunch, the Net Zero transition, the cost of decarbonization and how climate innovation can 
accelerate the clean energy transition. Our Firm also facilitated dialogue between investors, companies and regulators 
on key ESG issues by hosting our 6th Global ESG Conference in 2021, which was attended by over 1,500 participants 
globally. To respond to the growing client need for ESG research, we expanded our capabilities in 2021, adding ESG 
specialists in both our Equity Research and Global Index Research groups across various geographies.
JPMorgan’s ESG Indices
First launched in April 2018, the J.P. Morgan ESG ("JESG") suite of fixed income indices consider ESG factors in the 
creation of a composite benchmark. The suite had more than $40 billion in assets across active and passively 
managed funds by 2021 year-end benchmarked against them. J.P. Morgan Index Research provides daily ESG 
scoring coverage for over 6,000 global corporate and quasi-sovereign issuers and over 170 sovereigns.
The J.P. Morgan Index Research team expanded its JESG index suite in the fourth quarter of 2021 with the launch 
of the J.P. Morgan ESG Global Corporate Index ("JESG GCI") – an ESG benchmark covering investment grade and 
high yield markets across USD, EUR, and GBP currencies, as well as the launch of the J.P. Morgan Green Bond 
Index (GENIE) – an ESG-aligned benchmark tracking the $1 trillion green bond market, covering green bonds across 
hard currency (USD, EUR, and GBP) sovereign, quasi-sovereign, supranational, corporate and local currency green 
government bonds across 31 eligible currencies. In addition, the team launched carbon analytics for J.P. Morgan 
sovereign and corporate fixed income indices, and published inaugural carbon footprint reports for flagship 
benchmarks incorporating greenhouse gas emissions data.
