NON-DISCRIMINATION
POLICY
Our Policy Statement
At Logitech we greatly value our collaborative work environment and we want every employee to feel safe and
secure. We do not tolerate sexual harassment, any other type of harassment or physical intimidation. Likewise,
we do not tolerate any form of illegal or unfair discrimination against individuals or groups.
Global Application
Many of our offices are subject to local laws prohibiting harassment and discrimination. Because we want to
uphold the highest standards equally across the company regardless of location, all employees, officers,
directors, contractors and others working on our behalf are subject to this Policy. We also do not tolerate
discriminatory, harassing, or retaliatory conduct by non-employees and other third parties when performing duties
for or providing services to Logitech.
Prohibiting Sexual Harassment
We prohibit all forms of sexual harassment including but not limited to unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, visual or physical acts of a sexual nature. Similarly, conduct
that has the purpose or effect of interfering with an employee’s work performance in an unreasonable way
or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment is prohibited. Verbal comments or
physical actions of a sexual nature, regardless of whether they constitute sexual harassment, are
unacceptable here at Logitech whether welcome or unwelcome. Examples of conduct we prohibit are:
Verbal: Sexual innuendo, sexually suggestive comments, jokes of a sexual nature, unwanted sexual
advances or propositions, implicit or explicit offers of employment benefits or favorable terms and
conditions of employment in exchange for sexual favors, threatened or actual reprisals after rejection of
sexual advances, graphic commentaries about a person’s body.
Non-Verbal: Leering, obscene gestures, sexually suggestive objects or pictures, cartoons or posters,
suggestive or insulting sounds, suggestive or obscene notes or letters or electronic communications.
Physical: Unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature, including sexually suggestive or
offensive touching, impeding or blocking movement or brushing up against the body.

Local Procedures Americas Region
Both U.S. state and federal governments have agencies to address unlawful harassment,
discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. If you believe you have been harassed,
discriminated against or retaliated against and you are not satisfied with Logitechs
response to the problem, you can also file a written complaint with these agencies. In
California, the agency is the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). The
federal agency is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The
addresses and telephone numbers for the closest DFEH and EEOC offices can be found
in the government section of the local telephone book or their on-line websites. If you are
in one of our other offices outside California, the local EEOC office in your area can help
you contact the right local state agency.
In the U.S., we have appointed the AMR People & Culture Director as our EEO
officer. It is his/her responsibility to monitor Logitech’s affirmative action program and to
ensure our commitment to equal employment opportunities including Logitech’s policy
prohibiting harassment, discrimination and retaliation.
