— Our Supplier Diversity Project

Arm is creating a Supplier Diversity program where US suppliers to Arm
will be required to define their federally prescribed diversity category.
Arm will then analyze and review the supplier results to determine thelevel of Arm’s supplier diversity spend.

The Living Wage is a voluntary higher rate of base pay (based on		 the cost of living) which we, as an accredited Living Wage Employer,		 have committed to paying all our direct employees as a minimum.

Our Supply Base: Assessing and Managing Risk
As an IP company, we do not have an extensive tiered supply base forthe provision of raw materials coming into the business. We do, however,purchase a wide range of goods and services from approximately 3000
diverse suppliers who operate globally, regionally, and locally. Our suppliers
provide products and services to Arm’s revenue generating components
and its enabling functions. Our suppliers help our people to innovate andoperate successfully. We attach great importance to the supply side of ourvalue chain.
In 2014, we added requirements relating to responsible labour practices
into our standard supplier Terms of Business. These referred to therequirement that suppliers respect and promote the rights set out in theInternational Labour Organisation’s International (ILO) Labour Standards
and the provisions of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of
Human Rights in relation to both its personnel and its suppliers. In 2018,
we strengthened these requirements by reference to the UK ModernSlavery Act 2015 specifically, i.e. suppliers are required to conduct proper
checks on any agency person and Arm reserves the right to require thesupplier to remove from performance of the work any of the supplier’s

officers, employees, agents or subcontractors whom Arm believes to beengaging in any Modern Slavery Practice, and take such action as Arm
considers necessary to ensure Arm and the supplier fully comply with allapplicable laws relating to modern slavery.
We adopted an updated Supplier Code of Conduct in 2021. As part ofour standard 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. In relation to
Employment Standards, these are:
— Child labour

We are opposed to the use of any form of child labour or practices that
inhibit the development of children. Suppliers must comply with all childlabour laws and should not employ anyone under the age of 15, or where
it is higher, the mandatory school leaving age in the local country.
— Forced or involuntary labour

Suppliers must not participate in human trafficking; use forced,involuntary, or slave labour; or purchase materials or services fromcompanies using forced, involuntary, or slave labour. They must beable to certify that materials included in their products comply with theslavery and human trafficking laws of the country or countries in which
they do business.
— Compensation and working hours

Suppliers must comply with the applicable wage and hour labour laws
and regulations governing employee compensation and working hours.
Suppliers should conduct operations in ways that limit overtime to alevel that ensures a humane and productive work environment.

— Diversity and equality

Suppliers should aim to provide equality of opportunity and treatment
regardless of race, colour, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation,age, or disability. Suppliers are expected to support equal pay for workof equal value. Suppliers must oppose discrimination or intimidation
towards employees including all forms or threats of physical andpsychological abuse.

continuous improvement.
— Have a process to communicate the Supplier Code requirements tonext-tier suppliers and to monitor their compliance to the Supplier Codeand all applicable laws and regulations.

to their supervisors, employees, and suppliers.

Next Steps
We continue our focus on maturing our centre-led procurement
organisation, and embedding these processes, controls, performance,risk management and general practices, including Responsible
Procurement, across the business. This includes ensuring the business
continues to evolve it’s supplier performance and relationshipmanagement capabilities, which enable us to be vigilant and actively
consider steps that we can take to mitigate key risks such as modern
slavery and human trafficking.
We have continued our procurement digitalisation journey, recently
expanding the implementation of the e-procurement solution, SAP Ariba,
to 11 additional countries across the globe. This software gives greater
visibility of the supply base and spend that may be at risk for modern
slavery issues in an evolving landscape.
We have created a Supplier Diversity program that is working
to monitor and measure Arm’s US supplier diversity spending.
Setting supplier diversity spending goals is emerging as one of thekey goals of our program.
