Better Health for All

Electronic Arts demonstrates support for mental health through several initiatives. In May 2024, the company celebrated Mental Health Awareness Month with events and a keynote speaker.

Since June 2022, employee benefits have included access to mental health platforms and crisis support. In December 2020, EA partnered with Rise Above the Disorder to provide mental health resources, crisis support, and informational sessions on mental health awareness and self-care techniques to competitive players. To mitigate potential negative health externalities, EA open-sourced the IRIS photosensitivity analysis tool in December 2023 to help developers create safer gaming experiences, particularly for individuals with epilepsy. The partnership with Rise Above the Disorder also provides support services for competitive players, addressing potential addiction or mental health impacts. The company's products do not involve health-related patents, clinical trials, or food/nutritional products, and therefore these categories are not applicable. Similarly, the company does not offer health-related products or services requiring price accessibility or vulnerable reach considerations, nor does it collect health-related data.

Therefore, all KPIs related to financial services, such as lending, deposit services, APRs, fee structures, financial inclusion initiatives, customer finance data, fair lending compliance, wealth-building outcomes, community finance reinvestment, financial literacy programs, debt products, or financial service access points, are not applicable to the company's core business model.

EA invested $5.6M in charitable giving, with 42% towards STEAM education to bridge opportunity gaps.

The John Madden Legacy Fund supports STEAM education with $5M over five years. EA SPORTS FC FUTURES' community football initiatives reached 170,000 globally, enhancing access to sports.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

In March 2023, approximately 200 QA testers at its Baton Rouge facility were laid off , with allegations that these layoffs were in retaliation for unionization efforts. EA expressed concerns in June 2023 SEC filings regarding potential operational impacts from increased unionization efforts and was affected by the 2024 SAG-AFTRA video game strike over AI use and performers' rights. Keywords Studios workers, previously involved with EA's BioWare, unionized in 2022 and rallied in November 2023 for fair pay and better working conditions.

No War, No Weapons

Electronic Arts (EA) has taken steps to distance itself from the arms industry. In 2013, the company discontinued licensing deals with gun manufacturers, opting to portray branded weapons in its games without financial agreements, thereby avoiding direct ties with the arms industry.

This action represents a 100% divestment from such financial relationships and establishes an ethical red line against financial engagement with gun manufacturers. Furthermore, in 2012, EA removed links to real-world weapons manufacturers from its promotional website, demonstrating compliance with its commitment to distancing itself from military influence.
