diverse suppliers who operate globally, regionally, and locally. Our suppliers
provide products and services to Arm’s revenue generating components andits enabling functions. Our suppliers help our people to innovate and operate

who provide products or services to Arm and its subsidiaries and theiremployees to commit to the principles in this Code as a condition ofdoing business.

— Our Supplier Diversity ProjectArm has developed a Responsible Procurement strategy which supports
our UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and harnesses thepotential of diversity, equity and inclusion through working with oursupplier base. As part of this US suppliers to Arm will be required todefine their federally prescribed diversity category. Arm will then analyzeand review the supplier results to determine the level of Arm’s supplier
diversity spend.

In 2014, we added requirements relating to responsible labour practices into
our standard supplier Terms of Business. These referred to the requirementthat suppliers respect and promote the rights set out in the International
Labour Organisation’s International (ILO) Labour Standards and theprovisions of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights inrelation to both its personnel and its suppliers. In 2018, we strengthened
these requirements by reference to the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015
specifically, i.e. suppliers are required to conduct proper checks on any
agency person and Arm reserves the right to require the supplier to remove
from performance of the work any of the supplier’s officers, employees,
agents or subcontractors whom Arm believes to be engaging in any Modern
Slavery Practice, and take such action as Arm considers necessary to ensure
Arm and the supplier fully comply with all applicable laws relating to modernslavery.

We adopted an updated Supplier Code of Conduct in 2021. As part of ourstandard new supplier onboarding process, suppliers are required to confirm
that they comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets out our key
expectations of our Suppliers.
