Modern Slavery Statement

FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 31 JANUARY 2025

This Modern Slavery Statement is made on behalf of Snowflake Inc., Snowflake Computing U.K.  Limited (“Snowflake UK”) and Snowflake Computing Pty Ltd. (“Snowflake Australia,” and together with  Snowflake Inc. and Snowflake UK, “Snowflake” or “our”) in compliance with the requirements of the  Modern Slavery Act 2015 (United Kingdom) and the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) (Australia). 

Snowflake is committed to maintaining a work environment that is free from human trafficking  and slavery. We do not tolerate or condone human trafficking or slavery in any part of our global  organization or supply chain. This policy is consistent with our Global Code of Conduct and Ethics and  expresses our firm commitment to protect and advance human dignity and human rights in our global  business practices. 

Organizational Structure 

Snowflake delivers the AI Data Cloud, an ecosystem where our customers, partners, data  providers, and data consumers can break down data silos and derive value from rapidly growing data sets  in secure, governed, and compliant ways. Snowflake Inc. is a Delaware corporation. Snowflake UK is a UK  limited company and Snowflake Australia is an Australian proprietary limited company, and each is  ultimately wholly owned by Snowflake Inc. Snowflake Inc. does not have any other subsidiaries or group  companies based in either Australia (Snowflake Australia does not own or control any other entities) or  the UK. 

Our Supply Chains 

Given the nature of our operations, we have a relatively short supply chain. Our solution is  developed and maintained by our employees. Our suppliers predominantly supply cloud and SaaS  services, professional services (for example, marketing, audit, and accounting services), and hardware /  office equipment. We also engage a limited number of contractors, most of whom are based in the United  States. 

Risk of Modern Slavery 

Based on the nature of our business, workforce, and solution, the risk of modern slavery in our  operations is low. Furthermore, because most of our suppliers are cloud and SaaS providers, professional  services, and SaaS providers based in the United States, and because we do not engage a significant  number of contractors, the risk of modern slavery in Snowflake’s supply chain is also low. 

Actions Taken to Address Modern Slavery and Supply Chain Risks and Remediation  

Snowflake’s policies and contractual supplier terms prohibit the use of modern slavery in our  operations and supply chains. 

  • Snowflake’s Global Code of Conduct and Ethics(“Code of Conduct”) requires that, among other things, all Snowflake labor is voluntary, and that it does not engage in slavery or human trafficking. It applies to our employees, directors, board members, and contractors. Employees and contractors are required to certify their understanding and acceptance of the Code of Conduct. 
  • Snowflake’s Business Partner Standards of Conduct (“Partner Standards of Conduct”) prohibits Snowflake’s business partners (including suppliers, partners, and resellers) from, among other things, engaging in slavery or human trafficking. Snowflake requires its business partners to agree to the Partner Standards of Conduct or similar principles in their internal policies. 
  • Snowflake’s Anti-Human Trafficking Policy prohibits engaging in slavery or human trafficking and applies to Snowflake’s internal operations as well as its suppliers and contractors. 

Snowflake conducts a modern slavery screening on its suppliers. 

Finally, Snowflake requires each of its employees and contractors to complete a training module  that covers modern slavery and human trafficking. 

Snowflake maintains standard complaint reporting procedures as described in its Code of  Conduct, including a Whistleblower Policy, and receives and treats complaints in accordance with  standard procedures. If a modern slavery concern is raised, Snowflake will review the complaint and  remediate, as appropriate. 

Assessment of Policies 

We recognize that combating modern slavery is an ongoing effort, and are committed to  continuously monitoring and evaluating whether our efforts to do so are effective, and we believe our  efforts to date have been effective in minimizing the risk of slavery and human trafficking infecting our  organization and our supply chain. We will continue to keep apprised of legal requirements and industry  practices regarding modern slavery and evaluate our actions to assess and address modern slavery against  these. Snowflake’s operations are tightly integrated, and group companies (including Snowflake Inc.,  Snowflake UK and Snowflake Australia) are in close communications regarding all issues, including modern  slavery. In addition, our compliance programs apply globally. 

This statement is signed on behalf of Snowflake Inc., Snowflake UK, and Snowflake Australia. Snowflake  UK is a reporting entity pursuant to the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and Snowflake Australia is a reporting  entity pursuant to the Australia Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth); accordingly, this statement has been  approved by the Snowflake UK and Snowflake Australia Boards of Directors.
