Introduction Tesla is on a mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. We focus relentlessly on innovation and rely on collaboration across our teams to help achieve this goal. Along the way, we are committed to maintaining safe and humane working conditions, ensuring that all workers, including those within our supply chain, are treated with respect and dignity and that our manufacturing processes are environmentally responsible. Internally, we are continuing to build a culture that is safe, respectful, fair and inclusive for all our employees. As cliché as it sounds, it is only thanks to our employees that we’ve gotten to where we are today. If we expect to continue innovating and changing the world for the better, we must ensure we have a talented and engaged workforce with ample opportunity to contribute to our mission and grow professionally. At the center of Tesla’s strategy is: • Regular and meaningful engagement with our employees; • A robust culture of safety; • Clear development pathways for all our employees; • Highly competitive compensation programs; and • Principles of diversity, equity and inclusion built into all aspects of hiring, promotion and retention. 55
