UN GUIDING PRINCIPLES (UNGP) REPORTING FRAMEWORK INDEX
Booz Allen has applied the UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework in preparing its 2023 Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) Report ("FY23 ESG Report") and the index below. The UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework is a comprehensive guide for companies to report on human rights issues in line with their responsibility to respect human rights. This responsibility is outlined in the global standard, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Booz Allen strives to align with the UN Guiding Principles, as indicated through the index below and as may be supplemented on our company website at www.BoozAllen.com.
