Jefferies Financial Group Inc

Progress, Not Politics [...] Jefferies does not maintain a political action committee and does not engage in lobbying activities. Jefferies did not make any corporate contributions or contributions to political parties. Jefferies does not reimburse, compensate, or otherwise incentivize employee-partners for making political contributions. We have a Political Contribution Compliance Policy in place that is intended to prevent any conflict of interest or pay-to-play practices with political contributions to state and local officials who may have influence over the awarding of government and public business to financial service providers.

Our Board, as a whole and through its standing committees, works closely with our executive management to oversee our ESG/DEI initiatives, reporting and sustainable business practices. The ESG/DEI Committee has direct oversight of Jefferies' ESG/DEI program. The Board also extends its oversight of certain material ESG/DEI topics to other board committees when aligned with their responsibilities. [...] The ESG/DEI Committee chair personally participates in and helps drive the regularly scheduled operating-level global ESG Working Group meetings. The ESG/DEI Committee oversees our ESG/DEI program to ensure that our Management Team discusses ESG/DEI matters while reviewing our business operations, continues to advance DEI initiatives and broaden our workforce diversity, pursues our environmental sustainability strategy, and helps to address social issues outside Jefferies.
