People and Culture Integrating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) principles and practices into the DNA of our company Our Plan #4: DE&I Throughout In 2020, we instituted quarterly diversity data reviews across different divisions. These ensure that we identify trends across functions instead of simply looking at our workforce at the company-wide level. Executives review organizational demographics and work with their DEI, HR and Recruiting partners to create an action plan to attract, develop and retain talent. That same year, we also took steps to incorporate DEI principles into talent management. The fundamental pillar in this strategy is consistent and fair performance reviews — a reliable review process leads to more equitable access to internal opportunities. Since 2020, we have routinely delivered performance reviews to over 99% of all employees globally. The program has led to improvements in our internal mobility program and employees' access to career opportunities within Tesla. We expanded our leadership development team with a focus on providing DEI offerings to all our U.S. employees. Now all employees are introduced to our DEI principles on their first day as part of orientation and can continue their DEI learning journey throughout their time at Tesla. From our allyship resources, to DEI Life Hacks on our DEI Knowledge Center, to virtual instructor led courses on unconscious bias, inclusive interviewing and inclusive leadership, our employees have access to information no matter where they are. Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion principles Our DEI team uses a people-first and data-driven approach to champion diversity, equity and inclusion in our business and in the communities in which we operate. We rely on the following guiding principles: • Provide transparency in our DEI programs, identify areas of improvement, celebrate successes and continually iterate and improve our DEI approach • Integrate accountability measures into our business operations • Focus on sustainable solutions that solve problems at the root cause and reimagine new programs with DEI principles embedded in the design • Share knowledge throughout all levels of the organization to aid in personal and professional learning and development 35
