Enhancing Corporate Governance
EA follows corporate governance requirements of applicable law, as well as NASDAQ governance standards.
We maintain Global code of conduct and respectful Workplace policies, which apply to all employees, officers, and directors, including new hires, all of whom review and sign the Global code of conduct prior to beginning employment. Each year, employees must acknowledge that they’ve followed, and will continue to follow, the Global code of conduct, as well as complete training on the Global code of conduct every two years. our raise A concern online tool enables employees and third parties to report suspected violations for investigation and resolution.
Ethics and Anti-Bribery
We are committed to acting fairly and ethically where and with whom we do business.
We have practices and procedures in place designed to promote compliance with all applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations, including the uS Foreign corrupt Practices Act, the uK Bribery Act, and all other national and local regulations where we operate. our Anti-corruption Policy applies to all employees and directors, and EA’s General counsel oversees compliance. Agents or other consultants that represent EA must also abide by these standards when conducting business with or on behalf of EA.
We may require a written questionnaire or due diligence review prior to starting or renewing a business relationship above certain monetary thresholds with individuals or businesses in countries that pose a heightened risk of corruption, as determined by the corruption Perceptions index.
On a case-by-case basis we also perform due diligence and/or require written questionnaires before starting or renewing a business relationship below our internal thresholds or in lower-risk jurisdictions.
All vice presidents and above are required to take online anti-corruption training. In jurisdictions that pose a heightened risk of corruption, such as China, all EA employees must complete this training. Other select employees must complete the training based on the nature of their interactions with third parties, their roles, or the seniority of their positions. violations of EA’s Anti-corruption Policy are reported through the raise A concern online tool or through internal employee reporting mechanisms. Subject matter experts are also available to consult with employees on potential corruption- related matters.
