AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL SASB DISCLOSURE INDEX
About This Report
This SASB Disclosure Index is designed to consolidate and summarize our work on sustainability topics that are important to our business and stakeholders, and guide readers to where they can access more detailed information. It is informed by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) reporting standards. Metrics included are subject to measurement uncertainties given the evolving nature of sustainability reporting, and unless noted, all data is as of December 31, 2023. We reserve the right to update measurement techniques and methodologies in the future.
Our public disclosures, including our voluntary ESG and climate-related disclosures, include a range of topics that we believe are relevant to our businesses and that may be of interest to investors and other stakeholders. Information contained in this report and its accompanying website should not be construed as a characterization regarding the materiality or financial impact of that information.
We communicate information about our sustainability practices and performance through a number of channels - including our Annual Report and Proxy Statement, Responsible Business Report, regulatory filings, our website, press releases, direct conversations with stakeholders, and various other reports and presentations. Please also see Ameriprise's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other current and periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), available on the SEC website and through our Investor Relations website.
In this SASB index, the disclosures are based on the industry sectors that are most relevant for our business: Asset Management & Custody Activities (that covers our Advice & Wealth Management, including our banking capabilities, and our Asset Management businesses) and Insurance (Retirement & Protection Solutions).
