unprecedented times, we sought to live out the full extent of our values; safeguarding lives and livelihoods
for our people, our customers and across the communities where we operate. We were on solid footing
going into 2020; the strength, scale and liquidity of our balance sheet, coupled with the quality of our past
decisions and the efficacy of our digital-first customer-centric strategy gave us the resilience and flexibility
to navigate the economic shocks and market volatility that dominated the year.”

growth potential. Our world is increasingly digital, and we see it opening new and exciting opportunities for
