Employee Engagement Since our earliest days, Tesla has been built upon a culture of open communication. Over the years, as Tesla has grown as a company, we have worked to maintain this culture. Quite simply, we believe that raising matters openly and discussing them freely is the best way to solve problems and ensure a healthy, fulfilling, productive and amicable workplace. Employees have the right to freely discuss their wages, benefits and terms and conditions of employment and to raise complaints internally or externally. Tesla encourages employees to bring any concerns or complaints they may have to any member of management. This open communication is a reality at Tesla and employee concerns are given attention as promptly as possible. While the open floor policy is available to all employees at any time, we all have a role to play in ensuring we maintain a respectful and safe workplace. To this end, any employee who is subjected to, a witness of or has knowledge of any conduct that violates Tesla policies, is asked to immediately report the conduct. Members of management may be subject to discipline if they fail to report in a timely manner. Our employees can report concerns to their supervisor or HR partner. If they prefer to report another way, the Integrity Line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Integrity Line allows employees to report concerns anonymously and without fear of retaliation. Consistent with the U.N. Guiding Principles, Tesla publicizes the Integrity Line to promote accessibility, including an internal website link for quick and easy access. Concerns are reviewed in accordance with established protocols by investigators with expertise in employee relations, human relations, compliance, information security, internal audit and environmental, health and safety. Investigations teams periodically review trends, outcomes and opportunities for remediation and appropriate controls. 59
