Who We Are and How We Do Business

8×8 is a leading provider of cloud communications and collaboration services for businesses. At 8×8, we run our business with honesty and integrity, and encourage the highest of standards not only from our employees and business but also from our suppliers and channel partners. 8×8 does not tolerate any type of forced or compulsory labor, human trafficking, or slavery within our supply chain or operations. The organization is committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in its corporate activities.

Our Supply Chain

8×8 is a SaaS company with a relatively small supply chain because our people, their expertise, and our intellectual property are our business. Although 8×8 engages with suppliers for a range of services such as catering, cleaning, and waste disposal, the majority of our suppliers provide us with IT hardware, network services, and software. 8×8 also works with several sales partners who either operate as our sales agents or to whom we supply services for them to resell to their customers.

Relevant Policies

• Supplier Code of Conduct: 8×8’s Supplier Code of Conduct states the Company’s commitment to human rights and fair labor and its policy against slavery and human trafficking. The policy gives workers, contractors, and other business partners guidance on slavery and human trafficking and the measures taken by 8×8 to address the risk of slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains. As part of 8×8’s supplier on-boarding program, the Company assesses the risk of modern slavery and/or human trafficking in connection with each supplier.
• Compliance Reporting Policy: The Company encourages all its employees, customers, and other business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities or the supply chains of the organization as set forth in its Compliance Reporting Policy and 8×8’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
• Employee Code of Conduct: 8×8’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is the compass by which directors, officers, employees, and contractors of 8×8 are always expected to conduct themselves. All 8×8 business is to be conducted with the highest standard of integrity and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. This Code applies to 8×8 and all its subsidiaries worldwide.

Minimizing Risk

At 8×8 suppliers are graded as high or low risk depending on the type of product or service being supplied and the country where the service is performed, or the product is made. Where a supplier is deemed to be “high risk”, 8×8. will require evidence from the supplier that they have written policies and effective procedures in place to control the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking down their own supply chain. Any supplier considered to be “at risk” will be notified and given an opportunity to address the risks before 8×8 looks at using an alternative supplier.

Reporting

The prevention, detection, and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain is the responsibility of all of those working for us. If employees have any concern or suspicion that modern slavery or human trafficking is taking place in any part of our business or supply chain, they are urged to report such concerns pursuant to our Compliance Reporting Policy.
