[11119] Non-compliance with the SG Fleet Employee Code of Conduct and other policies is taken seriously
[11119] Any failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may lead to disciplinary action, which can include termination of employment
[11119] FY2022 Performance
[11119] In the 2022 financial year, SG Fleet continued its endeavours to combat modern slavery by
[11119] reviewing its Supplier Code of Conduct
[11119] maintaining its requirement that suppliers comply with SG Fleets Supplier Code of Conduct, which is to be included in new (and renewed) supplier contracts
[11119] continuing to conduct supplier due questionnaires that requests a copy of the relevant suppliers published mandatory or voluntary modern slavery statement or details of how the supplier mitigates the risk of modern slavery within its supply chains
[13552] Red Hat requires that all of our employees comply with our Code of Conduct, other policies, and all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to wherever we do business
[13552] The Code of Conduct also requires employees of Red Hat to deal honestly, ethically and fairly with its suppliers, customers, competitors, and employees, and to ask questions, seek guidance, report suspected violations, and express any concerns regarding compliance with it
[13552] Red Hats Code of Conduct includes a section outlining its commitment and expectations regarding human rights, including our expectation that employees help identify and prevent modern slavery in their Red Hat work and immediately report any concerns
[13552] All Red Hat employees must certify that they understand and will follow the ethical principles and compliance rules outlined in the Code of Conduct upon hire, followed by annual re-certification each subsequent year
[13552] Employee Training
[13552] Red Hats Annual Compliance and Ethics Training program is also a part of Red Hat's bedrock commitment to maintaining a culture of compliance and ethical business practices in accordance with our Code of Conduct

[14296] Given the nature of our supply chains coupled with the majority of suppliers being located in Australia, the risk of modern slavery in any of our suppliers is considered low
[14296] ARN generally deals with the Australian based subsidiaries of major international suppliers, but acknowledge they may have a wider supply chain originating from overseas over which ARN does not have oversight
[14296] In these instances, ARN acknowledges suppliers engaged in Australia could purchase equipment manufactured overseas in areas that might be of risk of modern slavery practices
[14296] However, this is mitigated by ARNs major suppliers complying with the relevant modern slavery laws in those jurisdictions and ARN acquiring goods and services from reputable producers in countries with high standards of protection for the rights of individuals
[14296] ARN recognises that engagement of employees and contractors may present modern slavery risks but considers this low risk due to its implementation of sound HR practices in compliance with the regulatory framework
[14296] ARN is committed to complying with the high employment standards regulated within Australia
[14296] Our policies Addressing the risks The Board of ARN endorses good corporate governance practices and oversees a holistic commitment to high standards of legislative compliance and ethical behaviour across the Group
[14296] ARN has a number of procedures and policies which minimise the risk of modern slavery practices, including

[4992] OUR VISION Modern slavery is a world-wide and growing issue, especially given the rapid rise in global migration
[11119] collaborating with preferred suppliers to encourage the publishing of a voluntary or mandatory modern slavery statement as a means of improving the Companys visibility of suppliers efforts to mitigate risks; and
[11119] maintaining whistleblowing policies that facilitate reporting of risks or alleged incidents of modern slavery
[11119] The Company acknowledged the challenges associated with suppliers providing complete and meaningful responses to its questionnaires and continued to investigate various options for improvement
[11119] For example, the Company analysed its supplier database to identify the 25% of suppliers that receive more than 99% of its spend
[11119] The Company is working closely with these suppliers to obtain more detailed responses to its questionnaire, including a copy of those suppliers published modern slavery statements
[11119] Case Study
[11119] During the 2022 financial year, the Company reviewed
[11119] customer requests to complete modern slavery related surveys or questionnaires, and requests to provide evidence of compliance with modern slavery legislation
[13552] module for employees in certain functions that focused not only on ensuring they were positioned to recognize risks of modern slavery in Red Hats operations and supply chain, but also that they understood Red Hats specific modern slavery risk and the policies, procedures, and practices in place to minimize such risk
[13552] The functions that were required to complete this training include HR, Procurement, Legal, IT, and Global Workplace Solutions
[13552] Red Hat Business Partner Code of Conduct (Partner Code)
[13552] Red Hat relies on partners to help maintain the trust of Red Hats customers and broader community and, therefore, Red Hat only works with entities who it believes are honest and ethical, and who commit to doing business ethically
[13552] The Partner Code applies to all Red Hat partners and their officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, and agents
[13552] Red Hat expects all partners to adhere to this Partner Code when conducting business with Red Hat and its customers, potential customers, and other partners
[13552] If Red Hat believes that a partner has failed or may fail to comply with this Partner Code, Red Hat may immediately suspend or terminate its relationship with the partner
[13552] The Partner Code is publicly available on Red Hats website

[14296] Internal audit and risk functions to monitor compliance
[14296] Regular training to staff on ARNs modern slavery obligations
[4992] SUEZ WTS recognises the need to adopt a collaborative approach to tackle the complexity of slavery and human trafficking practices
[4992] An important part of our approach is our continuous respect for human rights
[4992] SUEZ WTS is committed to operating responsibly and maintaining high ethical and social standards
[4992] We reject any activities which may cause or contribute to modern slavery, including forced or bonded labour, child labour, human trafficking, slavery, servitude, forced marriage, or deceptive recruiting for labour or services
[4992] Our commitment to upholding human rights - including opposition to modern slavery - is an inherent part of the value of Respect, which is one of SUEZ WTSs four core values (Passion for the Environment, Customer First, Team Spirit and Respect)
[4992] These values underpin the way we interact and work together with our colleagues, customers, clients, partners, and the wider community
[4992] For all the reasons above, we are committed to taking actions to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chain
[4992] ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND SUPPLY CHAINS SUEZ WTS operates at sites across Australia and internationally providing water and wastewater technologies and services
[11119] reports and analysis of other organisations efforts to comply with modern slavery legislation; and
[11119] examples of best practice modern slavery reporting
[11119] Page 7 of 8 Document Classification: Confidential
[11119] Based on this analysis, the Company issued a tender for the provision of services capable of supporting its modern slavery assessment and mitigation activities
[11119] In total, detailed responses were invited from six organisations able to provide online survey, analysis and response capabilities related to modern slavery
[11119] The Company intends to adopt an enhanced approach to modern slavery risk by leveraging these newly available capabilities
[11119] The proposed approach will
[13552] Global Due Diligence Actions
[13552] Supplier Certification
[13552] During the current reporting period, suppliers going through Red Hats standard procurement process must agree to comply with the Supplier Code, or make an equivalent commitment, at the outset of the relationship
[13552] A suppliers failure to sign and return the Supplier Code certification at onboarding may result in the suppliers disqualification from providing future goods or services to Red Hat or any of its subsidiaries
[13552] The Supplier Code expressly states that the supplier shall comply with slavery, human trafficking and child (and minimum age) labor laws of the country or countries in which they conduct business, shall ensure that slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labor (including prison labor) and human trafficking are not taking place in their supply chains, and shall deal honestly, ethically, and fairly in these relationships
[13552] Supplier and Business Partner Due Diligence
[13552] All Red Hat suppliers and partners are subject to various forms of due diligence, including the verification of information provided to Red Hat, as part of Red Hats standard procurement and business partner processes
[13552] Additional selective, risk-based due diligence exercises are also performed on certain Red Hat business partners and suppliers
[14296] Given the low risk of modern slavery among ARNs operations and supply chain, these policies are considered appropriate and primary audits of the supply chain are not warranted nor feasible
[14296] Due diligence and further steps ARN obtains goods and services predominantly from domestic suppliers who are reputable and ethical entities
[14296] ARN also monitors the location of each of its suppliers so that even the small number of international suppliers are identified and any entities that supply from potentially higher risk areas more susceptible to modern slavery practices are managed
[14296] To support and ensure the engagement of reputable entities ARN has HR, audit and risk, finance and legal functions whose roles include assessing and ensuring such entities comply with both the relevant laws and ARN policies across the business
[14296] This process is accompanied by internal checks and balances, as all material contracts need sign off from senior management, including consideration of risks relating to the supply
[14296] ARN reviews and tracks contract procurement processes in order to check internal practices are complied with
[14296] This compliance is also supported by our key corporate governance policies
[14296] Whilst it is not feasible for ARN to comprehensively investigate all activities of its suppliers, ARN will continue to review its operations and its procurement of goods and services to monitor and identify whether there are risks relating to modern slavery which ARN may then be able to mitigate
[4992] Our business headquarters is in Rhodes, New South Wales and we employ over 90 people within Australia
[4992] SUEZ WTS work with thousands of suppliers due to the number of industries and applications served by our advanced products and services
[4992] It is within our supply chain that we find the highest risk of modern slavery and are working to continuously develop and reinforce our souring produces to mitigate and manage these risks
[4992] RELEVANT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES SUEZ WTS employees are expected to practice the highest ethical standards at all times, and to operate in compliance with all policies and laws that apply to SUEZ WTS
[4992] SUEZ WTS has in place a number of policies which assist in protecting the human rights of our employees and within our suppliers operations
[4992] These policies and procedures include
[4992] SUEZ WTS Australia Modern Slavery Statement 2020 SUEZ WTS Australia Modern Slavery Statement CY 2020 Page 4
[4992] SUEZ WTS has implemented the following policies and procedures in order to prevent modern slavery
[11119] incorporate a requirement for all preferred suppliers to either publish a mandatory or voluntary modern slavery statement, or respond to the Companys online survey
[11119] focus on the leading suppliers, which account for more than 99% of the Companys spend; and
[11119] analyse suppliers responses utilising software that considers country and industry risks in its evaluation process
[11119] The Company is confident that this revised approach will support its modern slavery assessment and mitigation efforts by yielding higher survey completion rates and more detailed responses
[11119] Assessment of the effectiveness of SG Fleets actions
[11119] Effectiveness of the Companys actions
[11119] Although it is very difficult to assess the effectiveness of the steps referred to above, relevant indicators include
[11119] the number of issues or potential issues identified by management
[13552] These various measures allow Red Hat to make more informed decisions about who it does business with and in what capacity
[13552] These due diligence efforts may include
[13552] Business Partner Vetting
[13552] Red Hats standard vetting process for partners includes an adverse media review that aims to identify potential concerns, including modern slavery and other human rights concerns
[13552] Continuous Monitoring
[13552] Red Hat conducts continuous monitoring of Red Hat partners as part of its standard vetting process that aims to identify a variety of potential concerns, Page 4 DocuSign Envelope ID: 32A5F4A3-1F99-4BA9-9A57-1AC6CB355564
[13552] including modern slavery and other human rights concerns
[13552] During the current reporting period, Red Hat also began to conduct continuous monitoring for certain Red Hat suppliers on a risk basis
[14296] Effectiveness in addressing modern slavery The processes ARN currently undertakes provide a framework for managing the risks relating to modern slavery
[14296] ARN will continue to review the risks and effectiveness of actions to mitigate risks relating to modern slavery

[11119] the incidence of suppliers or other participants in the Companys industry being involved in modern slavery
[11119] SG Fleet has not received any notifications or identified any issues
[11119] However, the Company will continue to remain alert to the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking
[11119] Continuous Improvement
[11119] Whilst the Company takes the view that it operates in a relatively low risk business sector and that its management and processes minimise the risk of modern slavery or human trafficking occurring, the Company is committed to further improvements and will continue to review and enhance its approach to addressing human rights risks by taking further steps
[11119] This may include
[11119] continued mandatory modern slavery compliance and risk training for staff
[13552] Supplier Validation
[13552] Red Hat maintains a global Supplier Validation Process
[13552] As part of this Validation Process, on a risk basis, certain new and existing Red Hat suppliers were asked to complete supplier questionnaires, which included a broad range of questions aimed at helping Red Hat identify and assess various risks including potential modern slavery risks, such as whether the supplier employs vulnerable workers (eg, migrant workers or young workers)
[13552] During the current reporting period, Red Hat implemented a process to evaluate questionnaire responses flagged for further review
[13552] Red Hat continues to review and adjust the Supplier Validation Process, with particular focus on suppliers that meet risk-based criteria
[13552] Employee Certification
[13552] As noted above, Red Hat employees are required to complete annual Compliance and Ethics Training, during which Red Hat requires employees to review and re-certify their commitment to the Code of Conduct
