DUE DILIGENCE PROCESSESIn addition to ensuring a culture based on a foundation of the highest ethical standards, the Company also
works to ensure its supply chain remains equally as committed to ensuring a respect of human rights acrossthe globe. To that end, the Company maintains a formalized process for the on-boarding of those in its
supply chain, which process includes a commitment to abide by certain ethical and legal standards. Onceon-boarded, the Company continues to engage in routine negative news and illegal activity reviews of allvendors across all jurisdictions. During 2022, the Company performed vendor negative news reviews which
resulted in no relevant adverse findings related to human trafficking and modern slavery.

ASSESSING RISK AND MEASURING EFFECTIVENESS
While the Company does not consider itself to be operating in high-risk sectors for modern slavery, it
recognizes that modern slavery and human trafficking issues are complex and continuously evolving. To
that end, the Company chooses to remain vigilant in its efforts to monitor both its internal operations andthose of its supply chain when it is believed there exist behaviors that do not meet the high ethical standards
that are key to the Company’s culture. To date, no instances of human trafficking or modern slavery havebeen reported or identified. The Company remains committed to periodically reassessing its practices as
they relate to human rights and determining the effectiveness of the existing policy framework and the needfor additional action to support its efforts.
