T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (NASDAQ-GS: TROW), today announced it has joined the Net Zero
Asset Managers initiative (NZAMI) to support the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by

NZAMI, the firm is fortifying its commitment to providing investment products for clients with net
zero ambitions.
“A growing number of our clients are setting net zero targets and require products that meet their needs,” said Rob Sharps, CEO and president of T. Rowe Price. “Joining the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative enables us to help our clients meet their net zero ambitions in a manner compatible with our fiduciary duty to our clients. We are excited to be a part of this important initiative.”
