INTRODUCTION G4S, an Allied Universal ® Company, pursues a responsible purchasing policy consistent with its business ethics and company values, respect for fundamental worker rights, and environmental standards, all of which are key conditions for doing business with G4S. This Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the G4S requirements and expectations with respect to key areas of responsible sourcing. Compliance with the Code by its suppliers enables G4S to uphold its values and deliver sustained excellence for its customers and stakeholders. This G4S Supplier Code of Conduct is underpinned by international human rights standards, including the International Bill of Human Rights and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the principles concerning fundamental rights set out in the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the 2015 Modern Slavery Act. This Supplier Code of Conduct applies to all G4S Suppliers and their subcontractors, which means all of those with whom G4S and its subsidiaries worldwide have a contractual relationship; including contractors, suppliers of goods and services and joint venture partners. Any breach of the obligations stipulated in this Supplier Code of Conduct will be considered a material breach of contract by the Supplier. 2

EXPECTATIONS FOR SUPPLIERS As a minimum, all our suppliers must comply with this Supplier Code of Conduct and provide evidence of compliance upon request by G4S. Suppliers are expected to ensure that these obligations are already in place or that there is a clear time-line for full implementation within their own organization and their associated suppliers and subcontractors, including suitable contractual terms. G4S is committed to the highest standards of business integrity and as a result will not tolerate any practice that is inconsistent with the principles of honesty, integrity and fairness, anywhere in the world that it operates. G4S reserves the right to audit any of its suppliers and their subcontractors to confirm that the requirements set out in this Code of Conduct are in force. Failure to permit such an audit may result in the termination of any supply contract with G4S and its subsidiaries. Should G4S identify non-compliance to this Code of Conduct the Supplier will be required to provide a detailed remedial action plan within twenty eight days, which must be presented to the relevant G4S Procurement team. If the Supplier refuses to comply with the agreed actions, G4S reserves the right to terminate the commercial relationship. Where compliance with this Supplier Code of Conduct could lead to a conflict with or a violation of applicable laws or regulations, the Supplier shall promptly notify G4S of the situation and explain how it intends to operate in a responsible manner. 3
