DRIVE

After a busy start to

2022, we are settling into operations as a bigger, more resilient company. Asbury was built as a mosaic of strong, respected brands in individual markets but, together, we are united as one in our pursuit of being the most guestcentric automotive retailer. It is at the heart of our organization. While our geography and our brands may be different dealership to dealership, we are one – Asbury Automotive Group.

We are dedicating this issue of The Drive to the theme of Unity: We Are One. In this issue, you will see stories from all across Asbury’s dealerships and see examples of the great work and passion our team members bring to their work and communities every day

Our Asbury Cares Community Initiative is a great example of how all of our 155 stores across the country are united in our commitment to giving back to our communities. You will see examples of how team members in St. Louis, Tampa, Indiana, Atlanta, Arizona, and Colorado are making an impact through community partnerships.

Service director Ravin Perry in Virginia has united his team and built a culture of trust. His team members say he brings his passion for his work every day and that he leads with empathy In our Proile section, you’ll read how Ravin’s servant leadership philosophy has guided him through his nearly two-decade career at Asbury Unity doesn’t mean we are all the same. It is through our unique differences and under-

standing of those differences that unite us. I am proud to say that Asbury has a new Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Oficer who will help us build a culture where everyone feels like they belong and are valued. In this issue, Wendy Dobbs-Reynolds explains the opportunities Asbury has to become a stronger organization through our diversity

Despite the stereotype that automotive retail is a male-dominated industry, many women at Asbury have found successful careers at dealerships. In the spirit of rising up and reaching back, women at

hope you enjoy the stories in I this issue of The Drive and see how, even though we are spread across the country, we are united under a common goal and vision.

Our company looks signiicantly different than this time last year. While our footprint has changed, the fundamentals of our business and who we are has not. We are one in our focus and commitment to our guests, our communities, and each other.

Park Place and their Women in Automotive business resource group held a networking event and panel discussion with the goal of helping women navigate their careers in this industry.

I am excited to see what we accomplish together.

When a customer came in after hearing meows from his engine, the Nalley Toyota team quickly jumped into action to save some furry lives.

George Balboma had

already driven 15 miles when he irst heard the faint sound. Meow. Meow. “What was that?” he wondered as he turned the radio down at a stoplight

Meow. Meow. Meow.

It was the unmistakable sound of a cat, maybe even a kitten, judging by how soft the sound was. Then a sense of dread washed over him. A kitten was trapped underneath the hood of his car. Is it okay? What if turning the car on and driving injured the kitten?

He pulled over to get a better look.

“I could hear a kitten meowing, and I could see movement way down below my battery and towards the wheel well,” he recalled. “I got under

from the location. He called to see if someone at the dealership could rescue the kitten from his car. A service advisor answered his call and told George to come in as soon as he could. George and his passenger prayed for the kitten’s survival and slowly made their way to the dealership.

When George pulled into the service bay, he met with service advisor Anthony Gonzalez and word spread around the shop about the kitten in the engine. About half a dozen technicians gathered around George’s car to see if they could help. The technicians quickly freed not one, but two kittens from the engine –a black and tabby kitten. But they could still hear crying.

There was a third kitten

and then got down on his back and reached for the kitten as Anthony held the wheel well the car and looked all around, but I could not locate the kitten or ind a way to free the little guy Then the meowing stopped and we got really nervous.

stuck inside the car, out of reach of the technicians. He was trapped in the wheel well molding and in an area that was hard to access. Norvin Martinez, an Express Technician, removed the air ilter

All three kittens were boys and they made it out without

a scratch.

George planned to take

the three felines to a local animal shelter, but soon news had made it around the entire dealership that there were three cute kittens that needed “furever” homes.

Ava Al-Salali (Sales Advisor), Kristi Stewart (Warranty Admin), and Katrina Rowland (Inventory Specialist) each volunteered to adopt one of the kittens and take them home.

“We’d like to thank everybody at Nalley Toyota for going above and beyond to rescue these kittens,” George wrote later “Thank you for this miracle. I can’t tell you how much we needed it.”

This heartwarming story made news on the local Atlanta NBC station’s evening newscast. The kittens were appropriately named Turbo, Piston, and Hercules. Their new moms say that despite their harrowing ride, the kittens are all thriving and doing well – although they may have used up one of their nine lives in their adventure inside a Toyota.

With the Covid-19 pandemic, other events in the world, and balancing our work and personal lives, a lot can weigh heavy on your mind. Please remember that mental health IS health and that you should make sure you are caring for your emotional and mental well-being.

Women in Automotive: Empowering and Elevating

In a historically maledominated industry, Park Place team members are working to make automotive retail a more welcoming place for women to start and grow their careers.

The irst week in May, Park Place dealerships and their Women in Automotive business resource group held a networking and panel discussion event in Irving, Texas. Women in Automotive is a way for women in the industry, and women who are interested in joining the industry, to connect, share ideas and insights, and discuss ways to navigate the male-dominated industry

More than 100 people attended the event. It began with a networking “meet and greet” and transitioned into a Q&A with a panel of ive women, most of whom had been with the company for over 20 years.

Porsche Dallas Service Director Jenny Drummond, F&I Director Shiva Olumi, Park Place Assistant Controller Jody Monroe, and Asbury Chief DEI Oficer Wendy Reynolds-Dobbs shared their

experiences, both personal and professional, and what challenges they have faced to ind the success they now have.

Asbury Boad Member

Maureen Morrison also attended the event. Maunreen has served on the Board since January of 2019 and serves as the Director and Chair of the Audit Committee. Maureen had been invited as a special guest to speak and addressed the group once the panel session concluded, as she is one of the three women who serve on our Board of Directors. Asbury has been recognized for our gender parity on our Board of Directors,

receiving a 3+ Award from 50/50 Women on Boards.

W omen make up just 18% of the automotive industry – including both dealershop and corporate roles. At Asbury, we want to encourage more women to join the industry and we are continuously looking for ways to make the industry more inviting and supportive of women and other minority groups.

ASBURY C A R E S

Asbury team members

In May, Asbury team members worked alongside Hunger Fight to set a goal to package 70,000

meals to support children in need. Working in teams of 10-12 across varying food stations, Asbury General Managers and support team members packed 73,248 meals for children in need across Denver, CO. In addition to the meals packed, Asbury team members raised over $117,000 and donated 3,000 books.

Nalley 250:

Filling the Grandstand for a Grand Cause

n March 2022, Nalley I Automotive Group, alongside partner Axalta, sponsored the Nalley 250 race during the NASCAR Folds of Honor weekend. The Asbury and Nalley team members were excited to take to the stands and cheer on the #7 Nalley race car, a brightly decorated Chevrolet, and professional race car driver Justin Allgaier. Allgaier had 16 Xinity Series wins going into the race weekend and was a crowd favorite. Unfortunately, Allgaier got caught in an accident on the track and did not inish the race. The winner of the Nalley 250 race was Toyota driver Ty Gibbs.

Asbury also invited Asbury Cares community partners City of Refuge and 100 Black Men of Atlanta to watch the race and participate in the festivities. Michael Hornsby, a technician graduate from the NAPA Automotive Technicians program at City of Refuge , was selected to wave the lag to start the race.

Asbury team members were given the opportunity to purchase tickets for the race and all funds were donated to City of Refuge . Asbury matched the funds raised

Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research

Rally Foundation for

Childhood Cancer Research, a 501 (c)(3) nonproit, empowers volunteers across the country to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research to ind better treatments with fewer long-term side effects and, ultimately, cures.

Eleven Rally kids, along with their parents, participated in a Day of Pampering at Dillard’s and Bowlero.

Volunteers from Asbury and Nalley provided car service in Nalley vehicles for each family to and from the event where they were given a red carpet welcome with “paparazzi” cheering on each vehicle. The paparazzi was comprised of Rally families, Rally supporters, Atlanta Falcon cheerleaders, and Asbury team members.

A month after the Day of Pampering , the same Rally kids and families, along with supportive Asbury team members, gathered to celebrate Rally on the

Runway at Zoo Atlanta. The Rally kid models walked the runway with Atlanta Falcon football

players. The evening raised over $760,000 for Rally Foundation for Children Cancer Research.

Stevenson Toyota West/ Car Donation

n May, the team at Stevenson Toyota

West worked alongside Denver 7 News to donate a car to a well-deserving family. Ahmad Siddiqi served as an Afghan interpreter for the US Army and, last year, led Afghanistan with his family to seek a better life in Colorado.

Denver 7 News viewers raised money to cover half of the Toyota Highlander and Stevinson Toyota West covered the rest

Ahmad’s wife is learning to drive and this donation will give them the freedom they have been seeking and support their new life in America.

What got you interested

in DEI?

I’ve always had an interest in culture, even when I was younger. I grew up in a very culturally diverse city – Los Angeles – so I’ve always had friends and associates from all different backgrounds. As I went on to college, I was a psychology major and an ethnic studies major, which is the study of all different cultures, so I’ve always had an interest in DEI.

Inclusion Officer

In May, Asbury welcomed Wendy Reynolds-Dobbs as our newly appointed Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Oficer. This role was created as a result of Asbury’s DEI Inititative and feedback from team members across Asbury who expressed the importance of having a dedicated and experienced professional who will help guide our company to become a more inclusive and welcoming workplace for everyone.

We sat down with Wendy to learn more about her passion for DEI and what she hopes to accomplish here at Asbury.

What was your career like before joining Asbury?

From my personal experience being from an underrepresented group – being a woman and African-American – I have a vested interest in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and want to see the true beneits of DEI brought together. I’ve always had an innate interest in it. If you’re in the people business, then you’re in the DEI business. We all have these different backgrounds and there is a lot we can learn from each other My focus as an IndustrialOrganizational (IO) Psychologist was, of course, DEI, but also leadership development. When I irst came out of grad school, I started an internship in leadership development and effectiveness at UPS.

That helped me understand how organizations run. Then I got into the ield of Change Management. How do organizations manage change effectively? Not only from a process standpoint but from a people standpoint.

Then I spent a good amount of

Wendy Reynolds-Dobbs, Asbury’s New Chief Diversity, Equity, and

Continued from previous page

time in healthcare with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

I was also a professor at the University of Georgia and Morehouse College at the same time. I taught introduction to IO Psychology and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace, so I was always able to teach and speak on the topic even though it wasn’t my core responsibility at Children’s. My most recent position was with UNISYS where I was the Chief DEI Oficer.

What do you hope to achieve at Asbury?

I hope to support our North Star and Compass. When I think about being the most guest-centric automotive retailer, I see DEI as being core to that. If we’re in the people business, then we are in the diversity business. Our guests are coming from all different backgrounds, all different walks of life, and we need to meet them where they are.

It is very important for us to not only be supportive and be champions of DEI when it comes to being customer-centric to our guests, but also to each other. When I think about being the most guest-centric organization, that’s not just to our external clients but also our team members. I want DEI to be seen as everyone’s job and integrated into everything we do – from the moment someone visits our website, to the moment someone walks in our dealership doors, to the moment someone walks into the Dealership Support Center

We want diversity across all levels of the organization, and we want to think about the type of culture we are creating. Do we have an inclusive culture, and is DEI represented in our culture? From our programs to our beneits, we want to ensure we are as inclusive as possible.

That is how I want us to grow

at Asbury – to have DEI integrated across the board.

In this role, you will also be responsible for the Asbury Care Community Initiative. What are your plans for Asbury Cares?

I believe Asbury Cares is a great initiative. I have never worked with an organization that gave 40 hours of paid volunteer time. That shows passion for helping communities.

My plans for Asbury Cares will be building off what has already been created. How do we expand the program and make volunteerism more accessible for certain roles?

I’d like for us to expand our footprint in certain communities, make it easier for team members to volunteer their time and, beyond corporate giving and volunteerism, what else can we do to engage the community and form deeper connections?

How does work in our community further our

DEI efforts?

With Asbury Cares, there is a big focus on uplifting our communities. We focus on disadvantaged communities, and it’s all about advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, really more the Equity piece. So when we think about focusing our attention on communities that have historically been forgotten, how we volunteer in those communities, how we monetarily support those communities, we are helping Equity and bring some level of advancement to those areas.

What we do around Asbury Cares and the organizations we support help advance Diversity and Equity in those communities.

Using City of Refuge as an

example, not only are we able to volunteer our time and support them inancially, but we also help train and then hire from their automotive program.

What do you wish people understood about DEI?

Some people are sensitive to the topic. When they hear DEI they may be defensive or tense, or they don’t believe it pertains to them. “I’m not diverse,” well, what does that mean? Alone, a person isn’t diverse, but a group is diverse.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is about people, and it’s about all people. We are all part of the DEI discussion and we are all needed in the DEI discussion. DEI, unlike any other type of training or program, challenges your experience, what you have been taught, and your beliefs.

This can be a sensitive topic because no one wants to be challenged in that way. DEI opens you up to a different perspective, and it’s not just a professional focus, but a personal journey Give yourself grace. No one is perfect, but be open to learning and new experiences. Start getting comfortable being uncomfortable.

I recognize the DEI Journey is a personal journey for folks. Some will be very strong supporters and champions, some will be neutral, and some will be less neutral. For the betterment of the organization, what I will have to do is set the standard of what is expected here at Asbury, regardless of where you may fall on the continuum.

We need to be clear on what DEI means at Asbury, what we expect from our team members and leaders, and support those efforts in a meaningful way. We all play a part in the effort and it doesn’t weigh on the shoulders of a few

Park Place team members volunteered at this year’s Dallas Pride parade

Juneteenth, Pride, and DEI

n the month of June we I celebrate pride and Juneteenth! The LGBTQ+ community plays a crucial role in our society, and yet are still ighting for equality and visibility in our country

Asbury Automotive Group and our platforms openly accept and support the LGBTQ+ community and believe everyone should feel comfortable being their true self in the workplace.

It has been one year since Juneteenth was oficially established as a federal holiday Juneteenth is an important day for our country to acknowledge where we stand in the ight for

equality and to recognize and appreciate the diversity in our communities.

To celebrate Pride and to honor Juneteenth, we relect on the improvements we have made as a company in the past year

We are expanding Asbury Cares in our markets with the addition of new Asbury Cares partners and council members.

We have also begug hiring technicians through one of the Asbury Cares organizations we support in Atlanta. We continue to partner with HBCU Change to raise donations at our point-ofsale points in the dealership and are exploring additional ways to

support their initiatives. We have begun DEI training in our facilities and corporate ofice and will expand the training to all markets.

We are stronger

when we come together as one, and our impact is exponentially greater when we drive toward a common goal. Together, we must continue to work toward equality.

At Asbury, we celebrate the qualities of our team members that make every one of us unique.

Ravin

Perry with his home and work families.

Ravin Perry, Midlothian BMW Service Director

In his 19 years at Asbury and the automotive business, service director Ravin Perry says a lot has changed in the industry but a few things have stayed the same – the focus on the guest experience and servant leadership.

Nearly two decades ago, Ravin walked through the doors of Midlothian BMW as a high school student eager to make money. His stepfather had just purchased a BMW and the salesperson at the dealership, picking up on Ravin’s interest in cars, asked if he wanted a job.

Ravin started detailing cars at the dealership and, while he had never planned for a career in automotive retail, he found himself promoted to a service advisor three years later

“The service manager at the time noticed that I would always help out wherever I could and that I was willing to do whatever it took to help the team,” Ravin recalls. “I also did whatever it took to make the guests happy, and I had gotten a few compliments from guests and he noticed that.”

Raven is now Service Director and still has the attitude that no job is too small for him. It’s

something that his team notices.

“No job is beneath him,” says shop foreman Hector Pena. “Ravin puts air in tires and he writes tickets when the service lane is busy. He really does it all.”

This dedication to the job has earned Ravin multiple promotions over the last 19 years. He has worked at various Crown dealerships and eventually came back to Midlothian BMW where it all started.

Hector says that Ravin has brought a culture of trust and understanding to the service department. “When you work at a car dealership, you constantly have pressure and when you make a mistake you might not get the most positive response, but Ravin keeps a very level head,” Hector explains. “He does a great job of empowering the service writers to make decisions based on whats going on He’s always on the frontlines supporting your decisions and backing you up. ”

His colleagues say Ravin is a good manager but an even better person. Hector recalls a time when Ravin saw that Hector was tired at work and overheard him

explaining to another co-worker that he was sleeping on the loor in a sleeping bag for a few weeks while in transition between moving. Without asking or even letting Hector know, the next day Ravin brought in a twin-size mattress for Hector and told him, “You’re not sleeping on the loor anymore. ”

The team was touched by Ravin’s generosity, but says it’s not surprising since he leads with empathy day-in and dayout. They say Ravin often notices when a team member is struggling either professionally or personally and takes steps to help them.

“We spend just as much time, if not more time, with our work team members than with our families during the week,” Ravin explains. “These guys are like family to me. We spend so much time together. We laugh together We go through frustrations together. So we have to be willing to help each other.”

Ravin is also a proud graduate of Asbury’s Service Managers Training Program, where he says he learned a lot of the knowledge and conidence he needed to run a service department. He says the program’s focus on leadership also helped guide him in becoming the manager his team wanted to work for

After 19 years in the business, Ravin is looking forward to celebrating his milestone 20 years next year

“A lot has changed in two decades,” he says. “Technology How the cars communicate with us. How we communicate with the guests. A lot has changed for the better because it has increased transparency, but the guest experience is the same. Being able to talk to the guest and inding out their needs because it’s not always about ixing the car.”

Asbury’s Inaugural Corporate Responsibility Report w

e are proud to announce the inaugural publishing of Asbury’s Corporate Responsibility Report. As a performance-driven company, we pride ourselves in representing great brands. Asbury remains committed to growing our business in a sustainable manner.

From participation in health and safety committees and sustainability action teams to charitable giving campaigns and volunteering, we strive to provide our team members with numerous opportunities to get involved and make a difference. This report is one step toward showing that, as a company, we are also committed to getting involved to make a difference.

What is a Corporate Responsibility Report (CRT), and why does it matter?

Our CRT portrays our relationship as a company with our stakeholders – namely our team members, guests, OEM partners, investors, the communities we serve, and beyond. It serves as a tool to hold us (and, likewise, other companies who choose to report) accountable for the ways in which we interact with all stakeholders. As a company, we believe in open communication. With this report, we are choosing transparency and encouraging discussion.

We believe it is important that our stakeholders have accessible information when making important decisions that affect them. This report will give our

team members and communities further insight into our environmental, social, governance and ethics practices.

It is equally as important to recognize that our work is never done. Asbury will continue to be accountable and improve our strategy to become better stewards of our business for team members, guests, OEM partners, investors and our communities.

If you are reading The Drive digitally, you can view Asbury’s inaugural CRT by clicking the link here.

Otherwise, you can ind the report on our company website, AsburyAuto.com
