Our Supply Chain Network
We source from a global network of suppliers and partners. Suppliers provide parts that go into ourproducts and contract manufacturing partners assemble and test finished Avaya products andprovide logistical services. We are environmentally conscious in our selection of materials,packaging, and transportation modes and see continual improvement as key to our supply chain
approach as we work to optimize our network and business processes.

Policies
Avaya’s policies and approach to preventing involuntary labor and human trafficking are based oninternational standards and industry best practices. Specific policies include:Avaya Code of Conduct - Our ethics program is built on a lifecycle associated with theprinciples of prevention, detection, and remediation. Our compliance teams work closelywith our business stakeholder groups to assess, manage and mitigate compliance risk bytaking appropriate actions. In addition, our compliance teams collaborate with the businessDocuSign Envelope ID: 35537945-6735-443E-B780-40539749F376

to identify and thoroughly investigate issues of misconduct, identify the root cause and takecorrective measures when needed. Avaya’s Code of Conduct is the foundation of ourprogram and covers a variety of topics including an overview of our guiding principles andinformation on how to conduct business in a manner that complies with the law. It is aglobal resource that ensures employees not only comply with the law, but they do the rightthing, the right way, for the right reason.
Supplier Code of Conduct - As an affiliate member of the Responsible Business Alliance(RBA)--a nonprofit coalition of electronics companies committed to supporting the rights andwell-being of workers and communities engaged in the global electronics supply chain - wecommit publicly to the RBA Code of Conduct (Code) and actively pursue conformance to theCode and its standards throughout our supply chain. We regard the Code as a total supply
chain initiative and issue the Avaya Supplier Code of Conduct as a statement of ourexpectation that all Suppliers and their employees understand and exhibit a dedication tointegrity and ethics. All Avaya suppliers are required to comply with our Supplier Code ofConduct which includes provisions related to labour and working conditions.
Responsible Minerals Policy - Avaya’s Responsible Minerals Policy reaffirms ourcommitment to upholding and respecting human rights for all people, including those whowork in the earliest parts of our supply chain. Our goal is to work collaboratively withsuppliers to source minerals consistent with our values around human rights, businessethics, labor, health and safety practices and environmental responsibility.

Global Diversity Equity and Inclusion Policy - Given the links between diversity, equity,inclusion and modern slavery, our Global DEI Policy supports our long-term strategy andnear-term priorities to progress our mission to build a workplace where individuality iscelebrated and harnessed…where we create a culture of engagement, innovation andinclusivity.

Ethics Helpline - A critical component of our ethics and compliance program is ensuringthat our employees, customers, partners, and suppliers know they can raise any concern
through our Ethics Helpline, which allows anonymous reporting of alleged illegal andunethical behavior without fear of retaliation.

Risks of Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
Our business is conducted with suppliers in a variety of global contexts, including in countries wherelocal laws may not exist to protect vulnerable populations. As a downstream user of minerals,
Avaya contracts the manufacture of products with electronic manufacturing suppliers. We do nothave direct relationships with the mines and/or the smelters and refiners, providing the minerals.
We realize that some mine operations can pose serious human rights risks.
In addition to outlining our expectation for suppliers to uphold human rights through policy, Avaya
undertakes a variety of actions to identify risks and prevent modern slavery in our organization’s
manufacturing supply chain and business operations:1. Verification: We evaluate and address risks of human trafficking and slavery through thefollowing three methods:a.

The Supplier Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). The SAQ is completed by Avaya
annually for RBA membership and upon request by Avaya suppliers. It is a selfevaluation that documents existing company policies and procedures as compared tothe Code requirements.

b.

The Verified Audit Process (VAP). The VAP are audits carried out on suppliers' facilities,
by independent, third-party auditors specially trained in social and environmental
auditing and the RBA VAP audit protocol. These audits help to ensure consistent,industry-wide standards. We review available VAP audit results.

c.

Avaya participates in the global Conflict Free Source Initiative, an initiative developedby the RBA and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSi) by using the Conflict Minerals
Reporting Template which facilitates obtaining the country-of-origin information fortarget minerals from smelters and refiners of tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold as thesetarget minerals have been implicated in slavery and human rights violations. Smelters
and refiners are declared conflict-free if verified through an independent third-party
audit that they have implemented systems to ensure sourcing of conflict-free materials.

2. Supplier Audits: The approaches listed above help us determine which suppliers may need to
be audited by identifying risk levels for slave labor or human trafficking practices. The VAP is acomprehensive assessment of supplier’s implementation of the RBA Code including labor, healthand safety, environment, ethics, and management systems. It incorporates audit techniquessuch as on-site inspections, document reviews, and worker and management interviews. We
analyze VAP audit reports findings through RBA’s audit sharing system (the audit reports arevalid for two years). Additionally, as part of our contractual agreement with suppliers, wereserve the right to make unannounced visits at supplier facilities upon our discretion for the
purpose of carrying out supplier audits.
3. Certification: Section E of the RBA Code requires companies to have a management systemthat contains “a process to communicate the code requirements and to monitor suppliercompliance to the code.” This does not mean that suppliers submit certifications. However, we
expect evidence such as written documentation to be provided if requested to substantiate
supplier claims and/or audit findings.
4. Internal Accountability: Noncompliance with the RBA Code on slavery and trafficking is taken
seriously. It is one of the most severe types of nonconformance and corrective action plans toremedy identified instances of nonconformance are expected to be implemented in the shortest
possible timeframe. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with third parties wherelegally able to do so, including suppliers, who are found to be non-compliant with supplierrequirements.
5. Capacity-Building/Training: We communicate routinely with our suppliers on issues including
but not limited to Code requirements, and expectations around human trafficking. Specifictraining is provided for Avaya employees engaged in sourcing and procurement to help themspot and report issues. Additionally, RBA members can leverage the Learning Academy, whichcontains online learning modules that cover the RBA Code of Conduct, as well as modules
specifically related to the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act.

Sourcing Minerals Responsibly
To help address the human rights risks in our mineral supply chain, we have implemented a due
diligence process that aligns to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chainsof Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. Details about this and the results of ourwork can be found in our annual Conflict Minerals Report in the Reporting Center at:
