[454] DUE DILIGENCE In order to implement the Third Party Policy, News Corp requires that third parties are either registered in News Corps due diligence management platform (the Third Party Platform) to ensure a consistent global standard for third party due diligence or are subject to a due diligence process of an equivalent standard, such process approved by the Global Compliance Team
[454] News Corp uses the Third Party Platform to obtain information on third party suppliers and rank them according to various risk factors, such as category and geographical risk, allowing News Corp to conduct risk- based due diligence
[454] News Corps application of the Third Party Platform is also integrated with a risk and compliance database to screen, according to risk, third party suppliers and service providers
[454] In addition to compliance risks, the database will also highlight whether there have been any adverse media reports against the third party, including any reports relating to labor exploitation issues, slavery or human trafficking
[454] We continue to take steps to ensure that the implementation of the Third Party Platform is as comprehensive as it can practically be across News Corp, so that key reported issues in the area of slavery and human trafficking with our direct suppliers or service providers are brought to the attention of the business and can be resolved appropriately
[454] This screening takes place not only when a new product supplier or service supplier is first engaged and is identified as requiring screening, but also on an ongoing basis thereafter, so that any new compliance risk, including modern slavery risk, is highlighted automatically to the business
[454] During FY20 News Corp began the migration to a new Third Party platform which, in addition to the current third party screening practices set forth above, incorporates a specific modern slavery due diligence process for higher risk vendor categories in order to further enhance our procedures in this area
[454] We have also considered how we might adapt our due diligence processes and procedures in light of the COVID-19 crisis

[12464] Entity Consultation During the reporting period this statement covers, McNally actively engaged and consulted with all companies we own in the development of this statement (entities outlined in Section 2, Entity Coverage)
[12464] We discussed details of the relevant legislative reporting requirements; information regarding the actions we intend to take to address these requirements and provided them with relevant materials and updates
[12470] SMARTSHEET MODERN SLAVERY ACT STATEMENT Introduction This statement is Smartsheet Inc.s Modern Slavery Statement (Statement) for the financial year ending January 31, 2023 and applies to Smartsheet Inc and its applicable subsidiaries, including Smartsheet UK Ltd and Smartsheet Australia Pty Ltd (collectively, Smartsheet, we, us or our)
[12470] This Statement is made pursuant to the United Kingdoms Modern Slavery Act 2015 and Australias Modern Slavery Act 2018, and outlines Smartsheets efforts to identify and prevent modern slavery within its business operations and supply chain
[12470] About Smartsheet Smartsheet was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, USA, with offices in Boston, London, San Jos, and Sydney
[12470] Smartsheet is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: SMAR) and has over 3,000 employees globally, with customers in more than 190 countries
[12470] Since our founding, Smartsheet has enabled individuals and teams, and over 100,000 customers, to become high achievers
[12470] Through our collaborative work management software, we create innovative work management solutions, mobilize a passionate and diverse global team, and make a positive impact in communities where we live and work
[13908] Expanding our supplier network internationally allowed us to leverage the strengths and specialties of different countries, enabling us to access a broader range of products and services, enhance competitiveness, and mitigate risks associated with relying solely on regional suppliers
[13908] By diversifying our supplier base and fostering strategic partnerships globally, we positioned ourselves for continued growth and resilience in the dynamic market landscape
[13908] Our international expenditure was primarily directed towards professional services and manufacturing and engineering.These services require specialised expertise and resources that may not be readily available within the local market
[13908] By egnaging with international suppliers, we were able to access specific services and acquire the necessary resources to support our operations
[13908] Genuity has implemented a risk assessment process to seek responsible sourcing practices throughout our supplier chain
[13908] This process involves evaluating each supplier and assigning a risk rating based on an aggregate risk score
[13908] Multiple factors are considered in calculating these scores, including the vendors industry or sector, the nature of goods or services provided, the geographical location of the vendor and their governance processes
[454] We have determined that, at this stage, we should not change or adapt the underlying due diligence procedures, but will continue to monitor this going forward in FY21
[454] Moreover, we have reiterated the importance of supplier due diligence in such times, when fluctuating demand for supplier services may well lead to an increase in risk in this area
[454] RISK ASSESSMENT As set out in the section above,3
[454] Risk of Modern Slavery Practices we conducted, for the first time in FY20, a global modern slavery risk assessment, asking each Business Unit to respond to specific questions to identify the level of risk for their business
[454] The assessment included general questions to identify current status of any controls, training and resources to identify and mitigate modern slavery risk; and targeted questions on activities related to Tier 1 suppliers that may raise modern slavery risk, with a focus on high risk sectors, industries, products and services and countries
[454] The additional actions to address risk in FY21 will be designed, in part, to address the risks identified in this assessment
[454] TRAINING AND AWARENESS
[454] Reference to the importance of considering the conditions of not only our own workers, but also the workers of our third party suppliers, was communicated across News Corp in the News Corp SOBC document in May 2016, May 2017, June 2018, and in December 2019 with an accompanying SOBC training module distributed in May 2017, June 2018 and December 2019
[9285] Real estate management, such as property and facilities managers
[9285] Building management related services including building certifiers and various building contractors Modern Slavery Risks The Trustee understands that modern slavery risk can occur in operations and supply chains
[9285] The Trustee considers risk assessment a critical process to identifying the inherent risk of modern slavery across Ascendas Logistics Trust
[9285] Defining modern slavery risks Modern Slavery is an umbrella term
[9285] Essentially, it refers to situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, deception, abuse of power, or deception
[9285] It is largely invisible, in part because it disproportionately affects the most marginalised.1 The Trust recognises that COVID-19 has exacerbated modern slavery risks for people in vulnerable situations.2 Modern slavery includes human trafficking, slavery, servitude, forced marriage, forced labour, debt bondage, deceptive recruiting for labour or services and the worst forms of child labour.3 When thinking about the risk of modern slavery practices, this means the potential for the Trust to cause, contribute to, or be directly linked to modern slavery through the Trusts operations or supply chain
[9285] Risk assessment methodology In FY21, the Trustee collected information on Ascendas Logistics Trusts supply chain and operations to include in a modern slavery risk assessment
[9285] Specifically, the Trustee investigated the investment trust and service providers that we have a direct relationship with
[12470] Today, Smartsheet is present in nonprofit organizations, small businesses, and more than 80% of Fortune 500 companies around the globe
[12470] Our game-changing collaborative work management software is redefining the possibilities of work management and empowering people to do amazing things
[12470] Smartsheets Mission and Values We are committed to empowering anyone to drive meaningful change
[12470] For our customers, that means we deliver the tools that support a dynamic workforce, and we strive constantly to improve them
[12470] Inside Smartsheet, it means empowering our employees to make an impact, ensuring that our company provides the engaging, inclusive, dynamic environment that challenges employees to reach their potential
[12470] We do this The Smartsheet Way, which is our guide to the values and competencies that we expect of ourselves, both as a company and as individuals
[12470] Just like the platform, we intend our values to change the way work gets done, proving that by seizing opportunity, winning with integrity, prioritizing "we" before "me", and pursuing progress, we can drive better outcomes for our team, our shareholders, and our customers
[12470] At Smartsheet, our core values guide how we engage with each other and our customers, partners, and communities
[13908] To ensure comprehensive risk assessment, we also refer to industry guidance information, such as the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018 Guidance for Reporting Entities and the Global Slavery Index
[13908] These resources provide valuable insights into modern slavery risks and best practices for reporting entities like Genuity
[13908] Risk outcomes
[13908] Through our risk assessment process, we have identified our suppliers that have a higher risk of modern slavery
[13908] A significant number of these higher risk suppliers have provided a modern slavery statement, which details their commitment to addressing and mitigating modern slavery risks within their supply chain
[13908] During the CY23 reporting period we have prioritized further engagement with remaining suppliers in these high risk categories
[13908] This engagement involves gathering additional information, to undertake an informed risk assessment
[13908] The insights gained from this process, combined with other findings from our risk assessment, will continue to inform our ongoing monitoring and improvement actions
[454] In that training module, the News Corp General Counsel specifically raises awareness of modern slavery risks by explaining that the rights of workers need to be considered when dealing with third parties
[454] In addition, focused training to relevant staff, including in the relevant induction programs and as part of an ongoing compliance training program, is provided to appropriate recipients, including procurement, finance and legal teams
[454] In the course of FY20, a number of external law firms presented specific training on modern slavery compliance to the Global Compliance team, as well as local legal and compliance teams, covering upcoming compliance and disclosure developments and requirements on a global level
[454] REMEDIATION
[454] To date, and specifically during FY20, News Corp has not identified that it has caused or contributed to adverse modern slavery impacts
[454] While there are some areas where News Corp may be directly linked to adverse impacts like modern slavery by an indirect business relationship, we recognize we may play a role in remediating impact
[454] As part of our commitment to develop an enhanced understanding of our indirect suppliers during FY21 we will consider how to use our leverage to work with any relevant entities to prevent or mitigate the harm and its recurrence
[454] Progressively new supplier contracts at News Corp are incorporating relevant modern slavery clauses to highlight and prevent or at a minimum reduce modern slavery risks and that require compliance with modern slavery legislation
[9285] The investment trust and service providers were then assessed for inherent modern slavery risks and an inherent risk profile was determined for each entity
[9285] Inherent risk is the level of risk before any actions are taken to manage the risks impact or likelihood
[9285] Risk Assessment Results Investments The FY21 risk assessment conducted by the Trustee revealed that the investment sectors of the Trust is considered to have higher inherent risk, as they are a part of the property and construction industries
[9285] The below summarises the risks in these industries
[9285] The approach to due diligence and assessment is informed by this risk profile

[12470] Smartsheets Modern Slavery Risks & How We Mitigate Them Smartsheet has zero tolerance for modern slavery and we are committed to identifying and preventing modern slavery in our business operations and supply chain, both internally and in all of our business relationships with our suppliers, vendors, and partners
[12470] Employees As a substantial portion of our employee base continues to work remotely, we identified modern slavery risks relating to safeguarding and vulnerability issues
[12470] Our aim is to create a work environment that protects, supports and makes our colleagues feel happy and healthy
[12470] Wellbeing is our priority, and we all have a responsibility to ensure we look after ourselves and each other
[12470] Engaging Ethical Suppliers and Vendors Smartsheet is committed to ethical business conduct and expects that its suppliers and vendors will share and embrace this commitment as well
[12470] To ensure all those in our supply chain comply with our values we have put in place a supply chain compliance program
[13908] At Genuity, we prioritise high ethical standards and strong governance practices to address the risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chain
[13908] Our comprehensive governance and ethics framework ensures compliance with the law and upholds our core values of integrity and corporate social responsibility
[13908] Key elements of our framework include
[13908] Code of conduct: our code of conduct outlines our approach to business ethics, our values, and our standards of conduct
[13908] It includes specific provisions related to our relationship with suppliers and our strong stance against modern slavery
[13908] Compliance and conduct policies: our policies and supporting procedures promote openness, fairness and accountability
[454] Some Business Units have or are developing policies or codes of conduct that prohibit
[454] engaging in all forms of modern slavery or that address the risk of modern slavery
[454] Some contracts may include warranties that the supplier will not engage in any activity, practice or conduct that would constitute an alleged offence in connection with modern slavery; and other terms that require risks of modern slavery in any part of their respective businesses or supply chain be identified and remediated as may be appropriate
[454] We have audit rights in many of our higher risk contracts to address corruption and other risks and for new suppliers, depending on the risk profile, such audit rights may include a right to audit for compliance with relevant modern slavery obligations
[454] Should any modern slavery matters be identified, we have appropriate processes to enable remediation
[454] These processes include News Corps Alertline service, a whistle-blower hotline; speak up policies embedded in the News Corp SOBC and Business Unit policies; contract clauses that contain dispute resolution provisions
[454] These grievance mechanisms allow for people to safely raise concerns about the impact News Corp or other entities in our operations or supply chain may be having on them
[454] Our grievance mechanisms also sit alongside other internal policies and processes that enable concerns to be identified and/or addressed

[9285] Page 3 of 4 | Ascendas Logistics Trust FY21 Modern Slavery Statement Investment Sector Inherent Risk Profile Industrial Properties The property and construction industries have a higher risk of modern slavery due to the high demand for low-skilled labour, limited visibility of long and complex supply chains and low-tier suppliers that operate in high- risk geographies4
[9285] Supply Chain The Trustees FY21 risk assessment has identified one high-risk service provider
[9285] Whilst all service providers are operating in Australia, one service provider operates in the property and construction industries which inherently have a higher risk of modern slavery as disclosed above
[9285] Actions to Address Modern Slavery Risks Due Diligence Risk assessment The Trustees annual risk assessment was conducted to assess Ascendas Logistics Trusts inherent modern slavery risks
[9285] Investments Ascendas Logistics Trust holds units in several property sub trusts, which are managed by Ascendas Funds Management Australia Pty Ltd
[9285] Modern slavery risk is assessed and managed at the property asset level by the Trust's property manager, Savills (Aust) Holdings Pty Ltd
[9285] As required by law in Australia, Savills (Aust) Holdings Pty Ltd issues a detailed and comprehensive annual Modern Slavery Statement and has an established Modern Slavery Framework which sets the organisation's approach to modern slavery
[12470] In furtherance of Smartsheets commitment to the fair treatment of employees, we request certain information and contractual commitments from our suppliers and vendors to comply with all applicable laws, and we require that our suppliers and vendors agree to our Code of Conduct which requires supplier and vendors: (i) not use forced, slave, indentured, bonded, trafficked, prison, or child labor of any sort or do business with any other vendor or contractor that uses such labor; (ii) not engage in human trafficking of any sort or do business with any entity that engages in human trafficking; and (iii) respect all individuals human rights including the rights of freedom of association and movement
[12470] Similar to internal practices, should Smartsheet ever become aware of violations, we will seek an appropriate legal response up to and including notification to authorities and termination of the relationship
[12470] Our Policies We have appropriate policies in place that underpin our commitment to ensure that there is no modern slavery in our supply chains or in any part of our business
[12470] We continuously review and update all our policies, and address these concepts in our Employee Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (Code of Conduct) among other internal policies
[12470] Our policies reflect our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains
[12470] Checking for Valid Authorization to Work We ensure that all new hires have valid authorization to work which is vetted by a third party company
[12470] To the extent that we should ever become aware of fabricated, fraudulent, or falsified work authorization documentation we would take appropriate measures up to and including notifying proper authorities
[13908] They encompass risk and compliance management and include tools to detect and address unethical, illegal, corrupt of other undesirable conduct
[13908] These tools include our whistle-blower protection program and an Independent Integrity Helpline
[13908] Genuity Modern Slavery Statement CY2022 7
[13908] Ongoing training: we prioritise ongoing training and induction programs for all staff members
[13908] Our Code of Conduct curriculum is mandatory, and we ensure that employees complete it annually
[13908] We also provide additional training as required to address specific compliance issues
[13908] Procurement policy and procedure: Genuity has implemented a procurement policy and procedure that sets parameters for the procurement of goods and services and the establishment of contractual arrangements with suppliers
[13908] These documents help us to manage risks and maintain standardized procurement practices aligned with our business plan
[454] Our grievance mechanisms are confidential and protect workers privacy, are accessible in workers languages and available to workers outside their working hours
[454] OUR EFFECTIVENESS IN COMBATING MODERN SLAVERY
[454] In assessing our effectiveness in combating modern slavery, we have established Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and will, where possible, measure our performance against them against the following year
[454] We intend to build upon these KPIs year on year, as we build upon the steps we take in this area
[454] The KPIs established for FY2019 and measured again in FY2020 included
[454] Reviewing the number of employees who have received the News Corp SOBC online training module; Reviewing the number of individuals in the business who have received additional face to face training on modern slavery; and Reviewing the number of third parties which have been targeted for further due diligence processes through our new Third Party Platform
[454] In addition, our Global Compliance team will be improving the process by which we are tracking the enhanced actions we have started to take during FY20, and will continue taking during FY21, to assess and address modern slavery risks as set out in this statement
[454] In particular, there is work we will need to do to further understand indirect suppliers to our Tier 1 suppliers that may raise modern slavery risk, with a focus on high risk sectors, industries, products and services and countries
[9285] The FY21 annual statement can be found on the Australian Modern Slavery register and covers all aspects of property development and management including the asset management supply chain, development supply chain and operation and corporate supply chains
[9285] Supply Chain The Trustees FY21 risk assessment identified one higher risk service provider
[9285] This service provider is a property manager who operates in Australia
[9285] The property manager is required to report under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth)
[9285] Therefore, they are obligated to identify and address modern slavery risks in their operations and supply chains
[9285] As a result, they have modern slavery due diligence processes in place
