Introduction

 

This Ping Identity Corporate Social Responsibility Policy (the “Policy”) establishes standards to ensure that Ping and its suppliers conduct business responsibly, ethically, and with respect for human rights and the environment.

 

Labor

 

Ping Identity recognizes that protection of human rights is a significant global issue and is committed to supporting human rights (which includes but are not limited to modern slavery, child labor, forced or compulsory labor and other forms of human rights) in our organization as well as in our supply chain. We are committed to protecting and respecting human rights and have a zero-tolerance approach.

 

 

A.   Prohibition of Forced Labor

 

Ping Identity agrees with the following precepts and policies:

 

• Forced labor in any form, including but not limited to, bonded (including debt bondage) or indentured labor, involuntary or exploitative prison labor, slavery or trafficking of persons is not permitted. This includes transporting, harboring, recruiting, transferring, or receiving persons by means of threat, force, coercion, abduction or fraud for labor or services.
• There shall be no unreasonable restrictions on workers’ freedom of movement in any Ping Identity facility.
• As part of the hiring process, all workers must be provided with a written employment agreement in their native language, or in a language the worker can understand, that contains a description of terms and conditions of employment.
• All work shall be voluntary, and workers will be free to leave work at any time or terminate their employment without penalty if reasonable notice is given.
• Ping Identity will not hold or otherwise destroy, conceal, or confiscate identity or immigration documents, such as government-issued identification, passports, or work permits, unless necessary to comply with the local law.

 

 

B. Wages and Benefits

 

Compensation paid to workers shall comply with all applicable wage laws, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime hours and legally mandated benefits. All workers shall receive equal pay for equal work and qualification. Where required by applicable law, workers shall be compensated for overtime at pay rates greater than regular hourly rates and deductions from wages as a disciplinary measure shall not be permitted. For each pay period, workers shall be provided with a timely and understandable wage statement that includes sufficient information to verify accurate compensation for work performed. All use of temporary, dispatch and outsourced labor shall be within the limits of the local law.

 

 

C. Non-Discrimination/Non-Harassment

 

Ping Identity commits to a workplace free of harassment and unlawful discrimination. There shall be no harsh or inhumane treatment including violence, gender-based violence, sexual harassment, sexual abuse, corporal punishment, mental or physical coercion, bullying, public shaming, or verbal abuse of workers; nor is there to be the threat of any such treatment. Ping Identity will not engage in discrimination or harassment based on race, color, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, ethnicity or national origin, disability, pregnancy, religion, political affiliation, union membership, covered veteran status, protected genetic information or marital status in hiring and employment practices such as wages, promotions, rewards, and access to training. Disciplinary policies and procedures in support of these requirements shall be clearly defined and communicated to Ping Identity’s workers. Workers shall be provided with reasonable accommodation for religious practices and disability.

 

 

Health and Safety

 

Ping Identity stridently aims to minimize incidents of work-related injuries and illnesses and recognizes that ongoing worker input and education are essential to identifying and solving health and safety issues in the workplace.

 

 

A. Occupational Health and Safety

 

Ping Identity provides a safe work environment, abiding by local laws and regulations, respecting the health and wellbeing of its workforce.

 

 

B. Emergency Preparedness

 

Ping identifies and asses potential emergency situations and aims to minimizes their impact by implementing emergency plans and response procedures including emergency reporting, employee notification and evacuation procedures, worker training, and drills. Emergency drills shall be executed at least annually or as required by local law, whichever is more stringent. Ping’s emergency plans include appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment, clear and unobstructed egress, adequate exit facilities, contact information for emergency responders, and recovery plans. Such plans and procedures focus on minimizing harm to life, the environment, and property.

 

 

C. Occupational Injury and Illness

 

Ping has implemented procedures and systems to prevent, manage, track and report occupational injuries and illnesses, including provisions to encourage worker reporting, classify and record injury and illness cases, provide necessary medical treatment, investigate cases and implement corrective actions to eliminate their causes, and facilitate the return of workers to work in accordance with applicable law. Ping allows all workers to remove themselves from imminent harm, and not return until the situation is mitigated, without fear of retaliation.

 

 

Environment

 

Ping Identity aims to identify environmental impacts and minimize adverse effects on the community, environment, and natural resources.

 

 

A. Solid Waste

 

Ping Identity implements a program to identify, manage, reduce, and responsibly dispose of or recycle solid waste (non-hazardous).

 

 

B. Air Emissions

 

Ping Identity reduces its carbon footprint by actively monitoring and minimizing emissions across its operations, including tracking its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions footprint. Currently, Ping Identity uses third-party software to measure GHG emissions from various polluting activities - ranging from utilities to modes of employee travel. Ping annually estimates its scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 emissions based on revenue, head count and location data.

 

 

C. Energy and Water Management

 

Ping Identity prioritizes energy and water conservation through strategic practices designed to reduce resource consumption. Examples include:

 

• Encouraging employees to report water leaks so they can be fixed promptly.
• Equipping kitchens with on-demand drink machines to reduce use of aluminum cans.
• Utilizing motion-sensor lighting so lights are only used when office spaces are occupied.
• Minimizing HVAC energy consumption via climate control measures.
