We work to ensure that all kids thrive by conducting nonpartisan research and partnering with practitioners and policymakers to apply that knowledge. We believe that programs and policies that serve children are most effective when they are grounded in deep knowledge of child and youth development and informed by data and evidence. Our staff of over 200 work in multiple locations across the country, including our four main offices in Bethesda, Maryland; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Chapel Hill, North Carolina; and Waltham, Massachusetts. Our professionals include social scientists, statisticians, social workers, and communications specialists who work diligently, with passion and rigor, on behalf of all children in America. Community, state, and federal policymakers and practitioners rely on our cutting-edge research, independent analyses, actionable recommendations, and clear communications to improve policies and interventions that serve children and their families. Our partnerships with these stakeholders are two- way, with learning happening in both directions. If it affects children and youth, we study it. Our experts research early childhood development, child welfare, school climate, reproductive health, family formation, and youth development. We study children at all developmental stages, from infancy to early adulthood, in the places where they live, learn, and play. Our 360-degree perspective encompasses the whole child, which includes their health and safety, cognition and academic success, and social and emotional well-being. We bring both established methodologies and new approaches to our work; our program and implementation evaluations, tools, and other resources strengthen a broad array of child- and youth-serving programs nationwide. Child Trends has a proven track record of impact. For 41 years, we have been the nation’s most respected source for research and data on children. Our work helps set the national agenda on child well-being, shapes policies that affect children and their families, and elevates important issues for vulnerable groups of children and youth. We imagine a better world for children and we are committed to lending our expertise, experience, and ingenuity to further this vision. Page 3 of 13 Customer Information 1a.

    KPMG GLOBAL ENERGY INSTITUTE A leader in the Oil & Gas industry kpmg.com/energy KPMG INTERNATIONAL 2 A leader in the Oil & Gas industry Sourcing the demand for energy. Keeping pace with change. Change is a constant factor in the Oil & Gas industry. The next few years may represent a tipping point, based on increased demand for energy, the growing presence of Asian markets and the gradual shift from traditional to alternative energy sources. Africa will be seen to play an ever more important role as a ready source of Oil & Gas for Western and Asian markets. Oil & Gas remains one of the world’s largest industries. In terms of value, Oil & Gas exports total more than 15 percent of global exports. Over 10 percent of the value of the world’s stock markets are invested in the energy sector, and eight of the top ten global FORTUNE companies are energy companies.1 Despite these impressive numbers, global energy demand will continue to exceed supply. Even with increased energy efficiency, world energy consumption is estimated to rise by 56 percent over the next three decades, with half of this increase driven by greater demand from China and India.2 Oil will remain the main source of energy while natural gas will overtake coal as the second-largest energy source.3 Alternative energy will continue to account for the highest growth rates in the global energy mix.4 1 KPMG research 2 International Energy Outlook 2013 3 Outlook for Energy: A View to 2040, ExxonMobil 4 Ibid. © 2014 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”).
