STATEMENT ON MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Commitment from the President and Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the Company
Modern slavery is a heinous crime and a morally reprehensible act that deprives a person'sliberty and dignity for another person's gain.
At HARMAN, we take our role very seriously and acknowledge the difficulties in abolishingmodern slavery and human trafficking, as well as the misery caused for the many affected bythis global problem.
We are committed to working with increasing rigor toward our aspirational goal to eliminate
modern slavery and human trafficking from our own supply chains, and lead by example tohave peers and other business partners join us in our effort. At HARMAN we have a zerotolerance approach to modern slavery and are fully committed to preventing slavery and humantrafficking in our operation and supply chain.

Context and reference for the HARMAN program
HARMAN is committed to social and environmental responsibility and does not tolerate
deviations from our Code of Conduct. To that end, we prohibit the use of forced labor, including
prison labor, indentured labor, bonded labor, military labor, slave labor and human trafficking.
In HARMAN, we have taken concrete steps to tackle modern slavery, as outlined in our2statement. This statement sets out the actions that we have taken to understand all potential
modern slavery risks related to our business, and to implement steps to prevent slavery andhuman trafficking during the financial year 2021
We consider human and workplace rights—as articulated in the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labor Organization's Declaration on
Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work—to be inviolable.
We support equal employment opportunities, diversity and inclusion for our employees and do
not discriminate against them. We strive to provide fair working conditions and to maintain asafe and healthy working environment for all our employees.
The HARMAN Supplier Code of Conduct includes provisions for the prevention of forced andchild labor. Specifically:

HARMAN prohibits all kinds of forced or compulsory labor in its supply chain (including
HARMAN's suppliers and their sub-suppliers) under any conditions, including bonded,forced, and/or compulsory prison labor. Full disclosure to workers of terms andconditions of employment must be made and should in no way be linked to workers
making payments or becoming indebted in any way.
Suppliers may not, directly or indirectly, engage in or support trafficking in humanbeings. Suppliers may not, directly or indirectly, recruit, transfer, harbor or receive any
worker by means of threats, force, coercion or deception.
HARMAN does not allow child labor to be used in its supply chain (including HARMAN's
suppliers and their sub-suppliers). A "child" is any person under 15 years of age, or asdefined by the International Labor Organization Conventions, national laws or any otherapplicable law or standard, depending upon which is the most stringent.

In addition to the HARMAN Supplier Code of Conduct, this statement and the company’s
program are informed by the company’s Conflict Minerals Policy, Ethics Hotline Program,CSR/Sustainability Statement, and other applicable Supply Chain Policies.
HARMAN also aligns with elements of the Social Accountability SA8000 standard: Child Labor,Forced Labor (which includes human trafficking), Freedom of Association and Right toCollective Bargaining, Health & Safety, Discrimination, Disciplinary practices, Working hours,and Compensation.
We will, over time, engage key stakeholders to inform our policies, processes, andperformance in order to continuously challenge and improve those activities.
ResponsibilityProperly reporting, and helping to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking are theresponsibility of everyone with knowledge of these activities. At HARMAN, the content of thisStatement has been approved by the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
Responsibility for day-to-day management of the program and its compliance is shared3

between the company’s senior-level Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) Committeeand global executive leadership team members.
Boundaries of this statement
To make sure that the entire HARMAN Supply Chain operates in a manner consistent with thecompany’s objectives, all HARMAN’ suppliers and sub-suppliers of goods or services are
required to act in accordance with HARMAN’s Supplier Code of Conduct for better supply
chain management, including any and all provisions to prevent modern slavery or humantrafficking in all forms.
Expectations of compliance and reporting potential breaches
This Supplier Code of Conduct is considered an integral part of HARMAN’s business
relationship with its suppliers and all suppliers are expected to meet the standards of conduct
expressed in the Code.
Any HARMAN employee found to have knowledge of modern slavery or human trafficking
abuses anywhere within the company’s value chain is expected to report those breaches
immediately to their next level manager or through the anonymous reporting system, forescalation as warranted. Failure to report known breaches is grounds for immediate
termination of the employee.
Implementing systems and controls to manage the risks
HARMAN’s Standard Terms and Conditions require HARMAN’S suppliers to agree to
HARMAN’s Supplier Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct is based on the SA8000
Standard from Social Accountability International and prohibits all kinds of forced orcompulsory labor.
Full disclosure to workers of terms and conditions of employment must be made and shouldin no way be linked to workers making payments or becoming indebted in any way. The Codeof Conduct also prohibits suppliers from directly or indirectly engaging in or supporting
trafficking in human beings, whether by recruiting, transferring, harboring or by receiving any
worker, by means of threats, force, coercion or deception.
Certification to SA8000 is not currently a requirement BUT is strongly recommended for all
suppliers, and full adoption of the spirit of the standard is implicit in these expectations. At aminimum, top supplier management must periodically review the adequacy, suitability, andcontinuing effectiveness of the supplier's policies, procedures, and performance results inmeeting the requirements of the Code and other requirements to which the suppliersubscribes. System amendments and improvements must be implemented where appropriate.
HARMAN reserves the right to inspect suppliers’ facilities to, among others, verify compliancewith the Code of Conduct.

Due diligence processes in relation to slavery and human trafficking
Due diligence begins with visibility, transparency, and verification of compliance. HARMAN
must have visibility to its entire supply chain regarding the standards addressed in the Code.
Accordingly, all suppliers of HARMAN MUST require their suppliers and sub-suppliers tocomply with the Code, including the requirements to provide additional information andcertification and to permit audits by HARMAN and its representatives. This includes allowing
HARMAN or any third-party auditing organization engaged by HARMAN to audit its books andrecords, facilities, and operations to verify compliance with the Code.
Harman Supplier Audits will include a dedicated section to cover Corporate Social
Responsibility and Sustainability topics including modern slavery, child labor, wages andbenefits, working hours, forced labor and human trafficking, freedom of association andcollective bargaining, health & safety, harassment and non-discrimination topics. In addition tothese topics, HARMAN strongly encourages and expects its suppliers to cascade these topics
down to their sub-suppliers across the value chain.
HARMAN prioritizes supplier participation in our annual audit plan where risk scores from avoluntary self-assessment indicates “High Risk”. HARMAN utilizes audits to confirm evidence
and compliance to standards working collaboratively and constructively with theSupplier/Partner, identify gaps, and define Supplier Quality Excellence (SQE) action plans orimprovement programs to close those gaps. The audit results are routinely evaluated inconjunction with the quantitative risk scores from the suppliers using the HARMAN Risk Tool.

Training and communications programs
Our compliance and internal training program includes identifying signs of human trafficking.
Employees have mechanisms to increase the visibility of issues, for example through ourconfidential ethics hotline.

not include shop floor employees) must complete an annual training course on the topic ofmodern slavery and human trafficking. The training syllabus is intended to build criticalcapability of the topic, and includes, but is not limited to, the following applied elements:
