Human rights policy
Human rights statement
Respect for human rights is a fundamental value of ON24, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “ON24”). We are committed to promoting human rights in line with the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. This Human Rights Policy (“Policy”) explains our commitment to human rights and the steps we take to help realize this vision.
If we were to identify adverse human rights impacts resulting from or caused by our business activities, we are committed to providing for, or assisting in providing for, equitable remediation. We also expect our partners, vendors and suppliers to honor these principles in their business operations. This Policy is global and applies to all ON24 operations, regardless of geographic location, and all subsidiaries. The Head of Legal and Head of HR are responsible for overseeing and ensuring adherence to this policy.
Forced labor and human trafficking
We prohibit the use of all forms of forced labor and slavery and any form of human trafficking. We take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that neither we nor our suppliers use labor sources that would be in violation of applicable laws, including but not limited to the UK Modern Slavery Act. These steps include:
- Verifying the right of each employee to work in accordance with applicable law
- Complying with all wage and hour requirements
- Implementing and enforcing a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics with ON24 employees that requires compliance with applicable laws

Our policy is to provide a safe and healthy workplace in our offices globally and comply with applicable safety and health laws and regulations, as well as our internal requirements. All employees receive training on workplace health and safety and on harassment and discrimination prevention.
Right to privacy

We are committed to complying with all relevant local laws, as well as providing all legally required benefits to our employees.
Diversity and inclusion
At ON24, diversity is celebrated and recognized as an integral part of our culture as a company. We are committed to equal opportunity and are intolerant of discrimination and harassment. We strive to maintain work environments that are free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, sex, color, national or social origin, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identification or expression, political opinion or any other status protected by applicable law. We commit to respecting our employees’ freedom of expression. The basis for recruitment, hiring, placement, development, training, compensation and advancement at ON24 is qualifications, performance, skills and experience. We do not tolerate disrespectful or inappropriate behavior, unfair treatment or retaliation of any kind. Harassment is not tolerated in the work environment and in any work-related situations outside the work environment.
Conflict minerals
Electronic products contain various minerals necessary for functionality. Because of concerns about the mining and sale of these minerals contributing to armed conflict and human rights abuses, these minerals are sometimes known as “conflict minerals.” Due to the nature of our business, ON24 does not in any way utilize conflict minerals to manufacture (or contract to manufacture) any goods.
Water
ON24 recognizes that the right to water is a fundamental human right.
Political spending
We respect the rights of our employees to hold different political viewpoints. We encourage our employees to support their political party affiliation, candidates of their choice, and voting in local, state, and national elections. As a company, however, ON24 does not financially support or endorse any political party or candidate (either directly or through a political action committee).
Freedom of association
We respect freedom of association and our employees’ right to join, or not to join, third party organizations such as labor unions or other lawful organization of their own selection, along with the right to bargain or not bargain collectively, in accordance with local laws, without fear of reprisal, intimidation, or harassment. We are committed to fostering open communication between all of our employees and managers, regardless of whether they are in unions, and providing our employees with appropriate access to grievance mechanisms and remedial action

ON24 has established a procedure under which complaints regarding violations of human rights matters may be reported.
