3 Our Vision As a global and responsible company UNIT4 Business Software has a role to play in sustainability. One of its responsibilities is to marshal efforts to implement sustainable best practices (in environment, social, ethical areas) in its organisation and in its business. One of the challenges is to ensure that the company anticipates, identifies, controls and manages the possible risks and impacts on environment, society and more generally on communities in which it operates. In this connection, UNIT4 Business Software contributes to promoting and developing sustainable behaviour by positively influencing its stakeholders (employees, customers, partners and suppliers) to take into consideration sustainability in their decision making and in their industry. As a result, sustainability has become one of the significant parts of our decision-making process in selecting new partners, suppliers or subcontractors. UNIT4 Business Software has put together this Sustainable Supplier Charter which outlines certain principles expected from our supplier base and throughout the UNIT4 Business Software supply chain. UNIT4 Business Software expects all its partners/suppliers/subcontractors to adopt and adhere to the principles set out in this Charter. Failure by suppliers/subcontractors to do so or to effectively marshal the resources required to achieve such adherence, can result in their exclusion from UNIT4 Business Software s preferred suppliers/subcontractors list or re-evaluation of their UNIT4 Business Software partner status. Implementation From its date of publication, This Charter shall be part of all contracts entered into between UNIT4 Business Software and its suppliers and subcontractors. UNIT4 Business Software expects its partners to apply internally and with their own subcontractors the principles promoted in the Sustainable Supplier Charter and to adopt a similar approach with their own partners. Compliance with the principles set forth in the Charter, or the effort made to achieve these principles will be taken into consideration in the supplier/subcontractor selection process. UNIT4 Business Software will analyse adherence to this Charter with its suppliers/subcontractors As part of a continual improvement process, if necessary, UNIT4 Business Software will provide support to subcontractors and suppliers to design and implement an action plan to improve their environmental and social performance. 2. Ethics: Policy and Principles 2.1 Loyalty The objective is to create a long-term partnership based on trust between UNIT4 Business Software and its partners, suppliers and subcontractors.

It is not restricted to monetary transactions. The Bribery Act 2010 does not prohibit normal and appropriate hospitality given and received to or from third parties. The giving or receipt of gifts or hospitality is acceptable, if the following requirements are met: (a) it is not made with the intention of influencing a third party to obtain or retain business or a business advantage, or to reward the provision or retention of business or a business advantage, or in explicit or implicit exchange for favours or benefits; (b) it complies with local law; (c) it does not include cash or a cash equivalent (such as gift certificates or vouchers); (d) taking into account the reason for the gift, it is of an appropriate type and value and given at an appropriate time; and (e) it is recorded and given openly, not secretly. 2.4 Labour Conditions The partner/supplier/subcontractor must refer to and abide by all recommendations issued by the International Labour Organization.
