“Connecting with growing global communities through new and innovative forms of entertainment fuels the passion and creativity of everyone at Electronic Arts (EA). With our games and experiences at the heart of community, fandom, and cultural celebration, we design bigger worlds, tell bolder stories, and build more welcoming online communities. It is through this commitment to fans that we strive to create worlds of play without limitations.

Rich backgrounds, experiences and perspectives across our global workforce are the foundation of a culture of learning and openness at EA. It is through this important lens that our people create stories and deliver amazing experiences that resonate with audiences around the world and make an impact in the communities where we live, work and play.

We believe the excitement, engagement, and connection of play is for everyone. Our living, growing franchises, like Apex Legends, The Sims, EA SPORTS FC, College Football and Madden NFL, reflect our commitment to inclusivity, community-driven play, and expanding authentic representation in our games. We are constantly challenging the status quo to shape the future of entertainment through programs like our accessibility patent pledge. Making gaming more accessible and inspiring others in our industry to do the same is central to who we are, what we do, and how we show up for players and fans.

Delivering next-level entertainment at the intersection of technology, arts, and culture, inspires us to empower future inventors and artists with next-gen skills across many career paths. We invest resources and volunteer hours to support initiatives where we can make a difference — particularly in partnerships that focus on STEAM education.

A world of creativity, connection, and belonging for present and future generations depends upon sustainable practices today. We are on track to becoming carbon neutral by 2027, while expanding our renewable electricity use and engaging with organizations to protect and preserve our local ecosystems.

Our values as a global company continue to drive us to create a welcoming workplace, foster inclusive communities, invest in the next generation of innovators and artists, and progress our environmental initiatives.

I am inspired by the entertainment and impact we are helping deliver, as we continue to deepen this work across our communities.

Sincerely,

Andrew Wilson”
