Transparent and Fair Governance Ziff Davis is committed to governance practices that maintain the highest ethical standards and make clear the fair and equitable business practices upheld across the company. We are committed to complying with all applicable wage, labor, and employment laws and regulations. Our governance policies and board committee charters detail Ziff Davis’ adherence to practices that serve shareholders’ best interests and meet the requirements of all relevant laws. These include a clear code of business conduct and ethics, charters that clearly define board committees’ respective roles and responsibilities — including board-level responsibility for board diversity and ESG oversight — and a whistleblower program which includes a 24/7 confidential hotline available to all employees through which they can anonymously report concerns. Ziff Davis is involved with trade groups, such as i2 Coalition, that discuss and advocate for issues relevant to the company. The amounts spent on such groups are not material. Commitment to Board Diversity Ziff Davis is committed to having a diverse Board of Directors, taking into consideration numerous factors, including gender, race, age, knowledge, experience, and geography. Our current Board of Directors has eight members, including three women and three members who identify as people of color. Our directors bring a diversity of thought and experience to their roles, based on their extensive backgrounds in executive leadership, corporate strategy, venture capital, finance, media, and technology. Prioritizing and Protecting Integrity: Our Whistleblower Process and Policy Ziff Davis’ Code of Conduct contains general guidelines for conducting business with the highest standards of ethics and our Whistleblower Policy sets forth how we receive and respond to reports of potential violations. Ziff Davis is committed to fostering business environments in which open, honest communications are the expectation, not the exception. In situations in which employees, vendors, or other partners wish to place an anonymous report in confidence, we encourage them to utilize our anonymous, independent hotlines hosted by our third-party provider, EthicsPoint.

Social Supplier Standards Ziff Davis seeks to work with partners, vendors and suppliers whose values and practices are commensurate with our own, including our sustainability and human rights initiatives. We aim to engage minority-owned vendors and suppliers and to procure products and services from local companies in the communities where we operate. To identify appropriate partners, vendors, and suppliers, we take a proactive approach to vendor selection and onboarding. In 2023, we transitioned all business units to use a company-wide procurement software platform to make the onboarding process more efficient. We also work to ensure responsible supply chains by using analytics to track vendor spend, including by diversity categories, and implementing processes to assess supply chain risks and mitigate any potential supply chain disruptions. Our corporate policies detail the non-discrimination practices, health and safety standards and rights to collective bargaining and organization we expect from those with whom we do business. Health and Safety in the Workplace Our Workplace Safety Policy, encompassing all facilities and operations within Ziff Davis, solidifies our commitment to providing and maintaining a safe, professional work environment for all employees. Our Risk Management and Human Resources teams ensure we have the proper workplace policies in place to protect the occupational health and safety of our employees. All facilities and operations are expected to follow all local and federal guidelines to ensure the safety of Ziff Davis’ employees and customers is never put at risk. As a company, we follow all local and federal reporting and disclosure requirements. Stakeholder Engagement Ziff Davis engages with our key stakeholders to gather input and feedback to further the development of our ESG strategies and initiatives. In addition to our annual employee engagement survey, we engage regularly with other stakeholders, including investors.
