LAUREATE EDUCATION INC

Our mission has always been to expand access to high-quality higher education, reflecting our identity as a purpose and impact-driven organization. Central to our ongoing impact strategy is ensuring that our operations deliver on the promise of both expanded access and academic quality. A central belief throughout our history is that the more focused we are on generating market-leading outcomes for students, the better the business performs.

We remain sharply focused on understanding the impact of the student experience – frompre-enrollment through to post-graduation. Our impact is most clearly observed in graduation rates, employability upon graduation, and the overall student experience. This is consistent with the belief upon which Laureate was founded – ‘When our students succeed, countries prosper and society benefits.’

We are committed to operating with the highest ethical standards, promoting strong student outcomes, ensuring transparent communication with all stakeholders, actively engaging with our communities, and sustaining an unwavering determination to create positive impact and deliver on our promises. As with all companies, our impact reporting practices continue to evolve, and we are proactively preparing for future reporting requirements.

Across Laureate, the measurement and reporting of impact – along with associated risk management – are coordinated across a matrix of governance structures. This approach is overseen by our Board of Directors and executive leadership, including the President and CEO, ensuring accountability at the highest levels.

Our Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has formal oversight of our environmental, social and governance, or ESG, strategy, initiatives, policies, practices, and reporting – including programs addressing

In addition, our Board’s Education Committee is responsible for our education strategy, offerings, policies, and procedures, aligned with our mission to expanding access to quality education in the communities we serve.

Key structures that support comprehensive oversight, transparency, and leadership of our impact include several management committees:

For over 25 years, we have upheld a strong commitment to positive impact in the communities we serve. This long-standing dedication spans our efforts to expand educational access, ensure academic quality, improve student outcomes, and foster community engagement. Today, we maintain a robust impact oversight structure and have published an annual impact summary since 2014 to transparently report our progress. As of 2022, these reports align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our disclosures now incorporate the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards, reinforcing our commitment to recognized global frameworks and to a sustainable, equitable future.
