A message from Jim Cracchiolo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

At Ameriprise Financial, we help our clients feel confident about their financial future. We have delivered on this mission and excelled for 129 years because of our steadfast commitment to our values: Client-Focused; Integrity Always; Excellence in All We Do; and Respect. Our consistent investment in the business and

a focus on the long term has enabled us to serve our clients exceptionally well and operate effectively, growing in a dynamic industry.

Year after year, we manage our business responsibly and focus on the interests of all our stakeholders. Our long-term business success and sustainability go hand-in-hand.

And while 2022 was a year with significant market and geopolitical headwinds, Ameriprise again demonstrated its resilience. Our business results were strong and client satisfaction and employee engagement remained excellent.

We continued to receive meaningful external recognition for how we work and manage the business. As you'll see in the following pages, Ameriprise was recognized as one of the most trusted wealth management firms, a leading employer for diversity, a military-friendly firm, and we were included in multiple ESG indices and rankings, including The Wall Street Journal Management Top 250 list for 2022.

In this 2023 Responsible Business Report, we summarize our sustainability approach in five core areas: values-driven firm, responsible investor, governance, environmental steward and community impact.

The report also continues to provide a view into our enhanced reporting. This includes completing our first full carbon footprint assessment of Ameriprise and the significant efforts to advance our climate-related initiatives and respond to regulatory requirements across key markets.

In closing, at Ameriprise, we work diligently to serve our clients' needs and manage our business responsibly, which we bring to life in this report. We believe you will find it informative.

Sincerely,

James M. Cracchiolo

JAMES M. CRACCHIOLO

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
