Standing for Equality in Global and Public Policy

A t AT&T, we make a concerted effort to ensure all our employees feel valued, safe and free to be their most authentic selves. And we're dedicated to making the rest of the world a more inclusive place too.
That's why we're a proud member of the Business Coalition for the Equality Act, a group of leading U.S. employers that support the Equality Act. It's also why we signed the Hispanic Promise, a first-of-its-kind national pledge to hire, promote, retain and celebrate Hispanics in the workplace.
We also have a long history of demonstrating leadership to empower LGBTQ+ employees, allies and members of the

community at large. Internationally, we're supporting marriage equality efforts in places like the Czech Republic, where we are signatories to the Jsme Fér (It's Only Fair) campaign.
We're also committed to making the entertainment industry more equitable. In January of 2019, a challenge was issued by Time's Up and the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative in response to studies that show women directed only 4 percent of the decade's 1,000 highest-grossing movies. Along with other studios, Warner Bros. accepted the "4% Challenge" to hire one female director within the following 18 months.

A Story of Courage

W hen Scott Mendoza is at work, Roy usually is too. A happy 2-year-old mutt, Roy is a rescue pup who was trained as a service dog to assist veterans like Mendoza who have been diagnosed with PTSD. It's Roy's job to sense when flashbacks start replaying in Mendoza's mind. To alert his owner of a potential episode, he then jumps on his knee and offers a hug.
Mendoza is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and a former Air Force officer who exudes confidence, strength and positivity. For years, as a Remotely Piloted Aircraft pilot, he supported surveillance and strike missions around the world, often witnessing the atrocities of war firsthand.
Mendoza knew transitioning out of the military could be difficult. So as his military service neared completion he enrolled in the Department of Defense's Skillbridge program, which enables transitioning service members to take advantage of civilian internships while still on active duty. When he applied for an internship at AT&T, recruiter JoHanna Martinez recognized his talent and made sure he landed in just the right spot.
Today Mendoza is a manager of Strategic Partnerships and Ecosystem Development at FirstNet. He says he was hired there not in spite of his military background, but because of it. "In both organizations we're called to serve. The military serves the nation. FirstNet serves public safety," he explains.
At first, Mendoza was caught off guard by PTSD symptoms. But with the support of his wife and family, he found help. And after Roy came into his life, things got easier at home. Roy needed to be

by his side that meant taking Roy to work but introducing a service dog to coworkers meant potentially having tough conversations about his disability.
"I told my supervisor and he said he respected my courage and asked to learn more so that he could better support me and others with PTSD," Mendoza recalls. "However, I did experience some tough questions from fellow employees. And that's okay! Because I knew the majority of those questions came from a lack of mental health awareness. People probably looked at me and thought, `He looks totally fine! I wonder why he needs a service dog.'"
"PTSD is an invisible disability," Mendoza explains. "I suspect a number of employees are dealing with PTSD and other mental health issues and choose not to tell their bosses they need an accommodation because there is often a stigma around it. Not everyone is understanding."
"But I had the opposite experience," he says, adding that he wants to challenge AT&T to continue to spotlight mental health issues. "As leaders, we should know how to react to and support each other, especially those with mental health issues."
AT&T is a perfect fit for Mendoza and Roy. The veteran has made valuable connections through the AT&T Veterans employee resource group, and Roy feels like part of the FirstNet family now. Most importantly, Mendoza feels supported by a company that welcomes and respects veterans not just in word, but in action. That's because AT&T, he says, values veterans as individuals with their own unique talents, abilities and stories to tell.

I t's not always easy to talk about a disability. In fact, a recent study by the Center for Talent Innovation reported that while 30% of professionals fit the current federal definition of having a disability, the majority keep that status a secret.
"Take depression," says Jason Moses, AT&T's Lead Diversity Consultant. "Most people know someone struggling with depression on some level. While you may not physically see that someone faces a challenge, #iCount helps to ensure everyone is counted, if they choose to be."

The #iCount campaign allows all AT&T employees in the U.S. to voluntarily and confidentially self-identify online in any or all of four categories: race, veteran status, disabilities and LGBTQ. Encouraging more people with disabilities to participate was a key focus in 2019, because more information enhances AT&T's ability to be inclusive for all employees.

La Historia de Mariela

P reoccupied with her work, Mariela Cupolo nearly missed the deadline to sign up for Mujeres LATAM's Women's Leadership Forum in Argentina last year.
"But someone in the Training Department insisted [that I join] the program," Cupolo says. "This became one of the most important lessons: Sometimes we are so focused on work and due dates that we do not take the time to really think about where we are, what we want and what we need to accomplish our goals."
At the event which launched last year in Argentina and Brazil Cupolo listened to Vrio CEO Melissa Arnoldi speak about diversity as a competitive advantage. All around her, she witnessed that advantage firsthand. The diversity of the 134 women who participated in the Mentoring Mujeres program, Cupolo says, was one of its greatest strengths.
"We were from different areas, and we had different opinions and experiences that we could share," she says. "I think that is what was really interesting and positive."
In small group discussions with mentors, Cupolo and her fellow mentees learned how to rework their CVs to highlight their strengths and talked freely about their experiences balancing work and family.
Cupolo says she's likely to go back to the Women Leadership Forum in the future, perhaps as a mentor herself. "The program won't give you all the answers. But you will learn from hearing about other's experiences, and you will share your own," she says.

AT&T Mexico Juntos Construimos Nuestra Cultura Diversa e Incluyente

I n 2019, AT&T Mexico employees were busy making a difference. They worked together to care for the planet, cleaning up beaches and parks through AT&T Verde programs. They connected with local retired seniors through AT&T Diversidad Generacional. They empowered more than 400 women through the "Empoderate" challenge. And they took steps to make their workplaces more inclusive by launching "Entorno Azul," a program centered on the unique needs and abilities of autistic individuals.
AT&T Mexico did all of this not just because it's the right thing to do, but because we're convinced that diverse, happy employees generate the best results.

Recruiting & Outreach

T o have a diverse and inclusive workforce, you must put an emphasis on attracting and hiring talented people who are a mix of genders, races, abilities and experiences people who reflect the world in which we live and work.
We put this into practice in 2019 by recruiting at colleges and job fairs, partnering with Historically Black Colleges and Universites and Minority Serving Institutions, sponsoring conferences and events, participating in workshops and on panels, completing benchmarking studies and surveys, and supporting organizations and initiatives committed to providing an equal opportunity for all people. And when we look at the results, the extra effort is certainly worth it.

In 2013, AT&T pledged to hire 20,000 veterans by 2020. An ambitious goal, reflective of the way AT&T has been dedicated to supporting military personnel, veterans and their families for over a century. We're proud that not only did we meet our goal, we did so a year ahead of schedule.

Even though we achieved our mission in 2019,

we're not done. Our tradition of inspiring

change has redirected our focus to upskilling

veterans with an interest in technology, media

and entertainment. To make this happen, we're

partnering with like-minded organizations

across the country to optimize the success

of America's heroes.

2019 AT&T EMPLOYEE GROUP CONFERENCE

"WE'RE ALL IN, AND WE'RE ALL-INCLUSIVE,"
said Chief Diversity Officer Corey Anthony to open the 11th annual Employee Group Conference in Dallas, Texas.
"All In" was the 2019 conference theme, and all 58 employee groups across the company were represented for the first time. The conference brought together more than 2,100 employees from around the globe for two jam-packed days of panels, executive workshops, recognition and even a community service project all representative of AT&T's heart and passion for diversity & inclusion.
In his keynote, AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson talked about engagement, using as an example his personal experiences serving on the board of the Boy Scouts of America at a time when the organization excluded LGBTQ+ scouts and volunteers.

In that position he faced a dilemma: should he remove himself from the organization, or stay engaged and work for needed change?
Randall chose to engage. And through persistent dialogue, the Boy Scouts changed their membership policy to include the LGBTQ+ community.
When it comes to political engagement, Randall says going all in is the only way. "We will continue to engage in the political process," he said. "We will give our financial support to candidates who support policies that are in the best interest of our customers, our employees and our shareholders."
Recalling the company's long history of supporting civil rights protections for all employees, Randall ended by ensuring that when it comes to the future of equality legislation, "your company will once again be out in front and on the right side of justice."

Creating a Better Story for Students

D uring their first year of OneGoal classes, Houston area high school juniors with average grades get a glimpse into their possible futures. After they upload their PSAT scores and GPAs into a database, students are matched with their top colleges based on eligibility. For many students, the results are disappointing. It can be a harsh reality check and one that causes confidence to plummet.
"Connecting OneGoal students with AT&T right around that time gives them something to envision beyond enrollment," says OneGoal

Williams-Downs is passionate about OneGoal's mission in part because she grew up in poverty, and she knows how powerful the influence of one caring adult can be in a young person's life. "From personal experience, I know what poverty does to families, and what it can do in terms of creating barriers between kids and success," she says. "I knew the way out of poverty was through education because I was really fortunate to be tapped by caring adults who told me I deserved more."
In addition to providing financial support

TURN UP THE LOVE
As a proud ally to the LGBTQ+ community for more than 45 years, AT&T launched "Turn Up the Love" in 2018 as an initiative focused on turning up the conversation around acceptance, equality and mental wellness for LGBTQ+ youth.

THE TREVOR PROJECT
The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ+) young people under 25.

For two years, Turn Up the Love has been engaging Gen Z and millennial audiences with an "always on" platform presenting exclusive content to drive support for the LGBTQ+ community and providing connections to important resources like The Trevor Project.
LOVELOUD FESTIVAL BY AT&T 2019 was AT&T's second consecutive year as the presenting sponsor of LOVELOUD, a family-friendly music festival for the LGBTQ+ and ally community. With a mission to ignite the vital conversations about what it means to unconditionally love, understand, support, accept and celebrate our LGBTQ+ friends and family, AT&T presented LOVELOUD to tens of thousands of attendees and streamed the festival online to millions of viewers. The event helped raise $1 million for LGBTQ+ serving organizations and raised awareness of the depth of AT&T's support for the community.

AT&T has contributed $1.5 million to The Trevor Project over the past two years, which has helped modernize and transform their proven suicide prevention capabilities and serve more LGBTQ+ youth via their digital platforms. Thanks to products and services provided by AT&T, TrevorText and TrevorChat are now available 24/7 to help at-risk LGBTQ+ youth whenever they need it, in the ways most useful to them.

Many AT&T employees serve as Trevor volunteers. They support

LGBTQ+ youth who reach out looking for resources, support and

someone to relate to. Connectivity is vital for these efforts and AT&T powers the text and chat services year-round.

In 2019 we launched "24/7," a yearlong national campaign promoting TrevorText and TrevorChat as anywhere, anytime counseling services powered by AT&T. With young social media stars sharing the moments in their lives when they really needed to reach out to someone for help, "24/7" increased Trevor's volume of calls, chats and texts fivefold making a lasting impact in the lives of tens of thousands of LGBTQ+ youth.

How to Save a Life

B ack in the '90s, when she still lived in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, Annette Schaper came out as a lesbian at work for the first time. She was tired of changing pronouns when she talked about her significant other, and tired of feeling disingenuous around her colleagues. So she shared her truth.
But that's not the end of Schaper's coming out story. "The interesting thing about our community is that we have this invisible diversity. It means that we don't just come out once. It's a lifetime. I still have to decide when and how to come out when I meet someone new," she says.
Even as a confident, proud adult, Schaper says outing herself in new situations sometimes makes her feel vulnerable. "It's still kind of scary for me," she says, adding that she has a 17-yearold son to consider. "I'm not just coming out for myself now. I'm coming out for my entire family. I always have to consider the risks of bullying and rejection, of being ostracized, or even the risk of being harmed or injured because of the person that I love. Because of who I am."

I THINK AT&T HAS ALWAYS

"I personally haven't struggled with suicide, but I've certainly been in a position where I see how it can become dark," Schaper says, adding that LGBTQ youth are almost five times as likely as their heterosexual peers to attempt suicide and that 40% of transgender adults report having made a suicide attempt.

# S P I R I T DAY WARNERMEDIA CELEBRATES SPIRIT DAY TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST LGBTQ+ BULLYING
In 2019, WarnerMedia participated in a companywide, multicity celebration of #SpiritDay a day to stand with LGBTQ+ youth and speak out against LGBTQ+ bullying. Employees across the country raised their purple pompoms to show their solidarity for the cause. Started in 2010 by a high school student who wanted to show support for LGBTQ+ youth and take a stand against bullying, Spirit Day is now spearheaded annually by GLAAD during National Bullying Prevention Month. Spirit Day's purple theme color was chosen because it symbolizes "spirit" on the rainbow flag.

STOP BULLYING: SPEAK UP CARTOON NETWORK EXPANDS "STOP BULLYING: SPEAK UP" INITIATIVE WITH NEW PARTNERSHIP PROMOTING INCLUSIVITY
For National Bullying Prevention Month, Cartoon Network's "Stop Bullying: Speak
Up" initiative joined together with PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center and
826 National in the "Include Someone, Make a Difference" campaign to inspire kids
across the country to create more inclusive communities that stop bullying before
it begins.

The new partnership inspired children to include others using tools and resources

featuring fan-favorite characters from a variety of Cartoon Network original

series to help make a difference at home, online, in school and in afterschool

programming. Kids and educators access the campaign's microsite for guides and

information including an interactive map that tracks the nation's participation in

the program. Students can share their own inclusive actions and record them on

the map helping the entire country "turn orange" in honor of bullying prevention.

For educators, an "Include Someone" kit includes a poster, flyers, stickers and

cards. Cartoon Network also created a PSA based on real-life stories received from

children through the campaign.

Summer of Skills

D uring the summer, when students lack the day-to-day engagement they have during the school year, many valuable skills begin to slide. In fact, research estimates that in the summer following third grade, students lose nearly 27% of their school-year gains in math. For many students, these kinds of learning slides are cumulative and impact them later in their academic journeys, becoming an increasingly insurmountable hurdle.

Understanding Our Customers' Stories

A s downtown Chicago's Area Retail Sales Manager from 2017 to 2018, Alfredo Morales noticed that most of his store's noontime customers left empty-handed because they felt rushed.
"They were business people on their lunch breaks," he recalls. "Anytime they came in they had 15 minutes because they needed to go grab food. So because of that, time was against them."
Morales and his team came up with a

"I got my customers 50% off at the restaurant next door. So that way they could go grab their food while a member of my team was processing the sale," he says. Morales' plan was a win for the neighborhood, the customers and the sales team.

Dream in Black

I n 2019, Dream in Black ran at the speed of the culture, continuing to shape the zeitgeist as a cultural phenomenon. In February we launched Black Future Month, a celebration of the people who are making history today by shaping the future both inside and outside our company. Because we believe one of the best ways to honor the leaders who came before us is by lifting up the next generation of black changemakers, we spotlighted leaders in entertainment and journalism who share our values. Internally, we also recognized 28 of our own employees who are impacting the future of AT&T today.
"We wanted to connect with people on a deeper level, to demonstrate that AT&T was not just celebrating those people for a moment," says AT&T Director of Marketing Angela Burgin. That's why we highlighted people like Sean Combs and Keke Palmer, individuals who have a long history collaborating with our company. "This demonstrated to our audience that we care about the community and we are invested in looking for ways to celebrate their work and provide a platform to express it," Burgin says.

One of Burgin's favorite things about the Dream in Black ethos is that it's all about being now, new, next. "We're also very insider smart," she says. "So we know where the culture is going before it actually goes there." In 2019, that kind of intuitive outreach led to a first-of-its-kind program at Comic-Con International in San Diego. Designed to connect with "blerds" an affectionate term for self-identifying black nerds the event brought together many of our own creators and people who love the genre.
Comic-Con is one of the biggest events of the year for comic fans. "But it's also been a place where we haven't seen enough representation of people of color, although people of color certainly play a very strong role in the comic universe," Burgin noted. So Dream in Black partnered with Warner Bros. TV's Publicity team to take things up a notch working together to bring talent from the DC Comics franchise and shows like "Black Lightning." "We wanted to celebrate the `blerds' who love those worlds," said Burgin. "We included many different shows and characters, both African American and other ethnicities. The Dream in Black platform is inclusive of all. It's unapologetically black, but it definitely is a place to celebrate anyone who is contributing positively to culture."

But that wasn't all. In early 2019, AT&T Communications Chief Brand Officer Fiona Carter brought together more than 60 brands across the sports industry to launch SeeHer in Sports. In keeping with the SeeHer mission, we made it our goal to increase the visibility and distribution of women in sports, taking action by supporting the AT&T 2019 WNBA AllStar Game in Las Vegas. We broadcast WNBA All-Star Friday Night, which paired the 3-Point Shooting Competition and Skills Challenge

We also showcased our commitment to gender equality and improving the representation of women and girls in content with "When They Tell My Story," a new inspirational 30-second spot created in collaboration between AT&T Corporate Brand Marketing and WarnerMedia Sports.

Truly a Hollywood Story!

D arrin Dortch knows a thing or two about how to tell a great story. As a kid growing up in St. Louis, he was obsessed with "adult" movies like "Halloween," "Taxi Driver," and "The Silence of the Lambs." Fascinated by their dark characters and twisting plots, he dreamed of someday writing his own scary stories and turning them into blockbuster movies.
It's a dream he's relentlessly pursued his whole life. After graduating with a degree in film production from Webster University, Dortch worked odd jobs and saved up enough money to move to Los Angeles in 2008. But making it in L.A. is tough, even for the most industrious of Hollywood dreamers.

Dortch submitted "Short Changed" as part of his application to the American Black Film Festival's (ABFF) writing competition. Launched in partnership with Turner, the competition shines a spotlight on diverse writers in comedy and drama writing.
Dortch's script won, securing him a cash prize, a trip to the film festival in Miami and the opportunity to sit down with Turner executives.

Powering One Supplier's Success Story

W hen Mark Wilson sees an old, empty mall in an underserved community, he looks past its shuttered stores, vacant parking lots and abandoned food courts, and sees its potential.
Wilson started his Atlanta-based call center service, Chime Solutions, with two intentions: Provide excellent customer service and create jobs in underserved communities. To best position his company to fulfill that mission, he got creative in choosing a site for his business, repurposing an old, empty shopping mall in South Atlanta an area with historically high unemployment rates and transforming it into a state-of-the-art call center. "The whole idea was to try to bring life back into the community," he says. "And we have created about 1,500 jobs so far."
Many of those 1,500 jobs are the result of AT&T's partnership with Chime Solutions. For more than 50 years, AT&T has invested in small businesses and minority-owned companies. And we're not stopping any time soon. We're ramping up support by

committing to spend $3 billion in black communities by the end of 2020.
"The support that AT&T is willing to give to diverse-owned companies like ours is critically important and can be transformative," Wilson says. He says that's especially true because AT&T sticks around. Having worked with Wilson for over two decades now, we've been able to make a lasting impact on his company.
Because of the clout that comes from partnering with a Fortune 500 company like AT&T, Wilson says his business has grown at a healthy rate. For Chime Solutions, that means expansion to new cities across America, and more jobs in underserved black and brown neighborhoods. The company has already transformed another abandoned shopping mall in Dallas, and an office park with malllike qualities in Charlotte.
"We have a goal right now as a company of trying to create 10,000 jobs around the U.S., and we can only get that done with relationships like the one we have with AT&T."

Mark Wilson CEO, Chime Solutions

"WE HAVE A GOAL RIGHT NOW AS A COMPANY OF TRYING TO CREATE 10,000 JOBS AROUND THE U.S., AND WE CAN ONLY GET THAT DONE 64 WITH RELATIONSHIPS LIKE THE ONE WE HAVE WITH AT&T."

Supplier Diversity

O ur Supplier Diversity program is an integral part of AT&T's business practices. Serving AT&T Inc., AT&T Communications and Xandr, this program connects certified, diverse minority-, women-, service-disabled veteran-, veteran-, LGBTQ+- and disabilityowned business enterprises with opportunities to provide products and services to AT&T around the world.
Our supply chain process embraces the AT&T culture of ensuring that diversity & inclusion is a significant factor in all of our corporate endeavors, including supplier selection. Our program seeks to drive accountability and rewards suppliers who demonstrate strong diversity & inclusion values, enabling AT&T to make a positive impact in the economic growth of diverse communities.
DIVERSE SUPPLIER MENTORING AT&T Supplier Diversity proudly sponsors its signature education and mentorship program, the Business Growth Acceleration Program (BGAP). BGAP is an initiative to support diverseowned businesses with their growth plan and capacity-building execution. It matches a select group of business executives with mentors and experienced business leaders throughout the 12-week program. While the program is designed to assist with overall business growth, we are pleased that several of the program participants from the 2018 class were offered an opportunity to participate in AT&T's RFP (request for proposal) process and two firms received a contract.
Additionally, a recent 2018-2019 program graduate experienced a 1,200% increase in revenue over the last two years and increased the number of employees by 100%. The program runs from March to June each year.
PRIME SUPPLIER PROGRAM AT&T has been a longstanding leader in supplier diversity by identifying and promoting diverse businesses for contract opportunities through the Prime Supplier program. This

program has been instrumental in helping AT&T's Prime suppliers increase the use of certified diverse businesses in their supply chain.
Supplier diversity managers collaborate with Prime Suppliers to create meaningful goals and develop detailed plans for utilization of diverse suppliers for Tier 2 opportunities. Diversity managers monitor the performance of Prime Suppliers, identify those underperforming against their goals and implement creative actions plans to drive increased use of diverse suppliers.
