Equal Employment Opportunity

Equal Opportunity Policy Statement

A notice and invitation to all employees and applicants

Wells Fargo Bank has been and continues to be an equal opportunity employer. To assure full implementation of this equal employment policy, we will take steps to assure that:

1. Persons are recruited, hired, assigned and promoted without regard to race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, individuals with disabilities, pregnancy, marital status, status as a protected veteran, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local
2. All other personnel actions, such as compensation, benefits, transfers, layoffs and recall from layoffs, access to training, education, and tuition assistance programs are administered without regard to race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, individuals with disabilities, pregnancy, marital status, status as a protected veteran, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law.
3. Employees and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have: (1) filed a complaint; (2) assisted or participated in an investigation, compliance review, hearing or any other activity related to the administration of any federal, state or local law requiring equal employment opportunity; (3) opposed any act or practice made unlawful by any federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity or (4) exercised any other right protected by federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity.

Laura Davis, in partnership with HR representatives, has been assigned the overall responsibility to implement the Company’s required affirmative action programs related to individuals with disabilities and protected veterans. This responsibility includes implementation and administration of an audit and reporting system to ensure compliance with the Company’s affirmative action obligations related to individuals with disabilities and protected veterans, periodically measuring the effectiveness of these programs, and identifying any areas for potential remedial action, as appropriate.

If you, as one of our employees or as an applicant for employment, have any questions about this policy or would like to view portions of the Veterans and Disability Affirmative Action Plan, please send a request to EEO@wellsfargo.com during regular business hours. This is also a reminder that employees may update their disability status at any time in Workday.

I have reviewed and fully endorse our Affirmative Action program related to individuals with disabilities and protected veterans. In closing, I ask the continued assistance and support of all of the Company's personnel to attain our objective of equal employment opportunity for all.

Sincerely,

Charles W. Scharf CEO
Wells Fargo & Company
