4 INTRODUCTION OUR COMMITMENTS AND VALUES As a strategic company, Transmission System Operator GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. ( GAZ-SYSTEM ) strives to develop the gas transmission system while combining customer expectations with the development of the company and the gas market in Poland. Our mission is to ensure the safe transmission of natural gas in Poland, active creation of an integrated transmission system in Europe while taking care of the natural environment and observing the principles of sustainable development in our daily business practices. GAZ-SYSTEM is a signatory and member of the UN Global Compact. While declaring adherence to Global Compact s ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption, we strive to operate in compliance with the principles of Corporate Social Responsibility. This is fully reflected in GAZ-SYSTEM s Strategy as our Strategic Direction V Company Management from the Perspective of Sustainable Development. The implementation of the responsible business concept at GAZ-SYSTEM helps build the credibility and transparency of the company s operations and forge strong and transparent relationships with the stakeholders. In our business practices, we act in accordance with the core values of the GAZ-SYSTEM s Code of Ethics, defining the expected attitudes and behaviours, i.e.: responsibility, commitment, professionalism, teamwork and respect. We are fully aware that GAZ-SYSTEM has a significant effect on the procurement market and the promotion of highest business standards in its environment. Guided by attention to the quality of business relationships, promoting good market practices and making a positive impact on the society and environment, we have made a decision to develop this Code of Conduct for Suppliers. The Code consists of two main parts: (1) Introduction and (2) Expected Supplier Conduct Standards. 2

5 OBJECTIVES The Code of Conduct for Suppliers to Gas Transmission Operator GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. (the Code ) describes GAZ-SYSTEM s minimum requirements to be met by its suppliers in terms of compliance with the values and principles of social responsibility and sustainable development. This Code aims to: harmonise Supplier standards of conduct, identify good working practices to be met by Suppliers, improve the quality of products and services provided by Suppliers, reduce the likelihood of ethical, social and environmental risks arising from the business activity carried on by Suppliers, implement GAZ-SYSTEM s CSR policies throughout the supply chain. SCOPE The following Code is based on the provisions of Polish and international law, international standards (including the guidelines of the UN Global Com- 3

6 pact and ISO ), the requirements of the GAZ-SYSTEM s Integrated Management System and best business practices. A Supplier to GAZ-SYSTEM is a natural person, legal person or an organisational unit without legal personality that is applying for a contract award, has submitted an offer or concluded an agreement or framework agreement. All Suppliers to GAZ-SYSTEM, including small and medium-sized enterprises are required to comply with the laws, rules and regulations generally applicable in the country in which they operate - irrespective of the provisions of this Code. As a condition of the Supplier s cooperation with GAZ-SYSTEM, the Supplier must conform to the provisions of the Code in their business. This principle applies to both the Supplier s employees and its subcontractors and suppliers involved in the execution of orders for GAZ-SYSTEM. APPLICATION GAZ-SYSTEM expects all Suppliers to read and implement the provisions of this Code of Conducts. In the process of selecting Suppliers, the Code will form an integral part of the agreement between GAZ-SYSTEM and the Supplier. Entering into such agreement is tantamount to the Supplier s commitment to perform the contract in accordance with the provisions of the Code. The detailed requirements and rules of cooperation with Suppliers are defined by the provisions of the relevant agreements. GAZ-SYSTEM expects its Suppliers to: implement the principles and provisions contained in the Code in their own business activity and the activity of its subcontractors, identify and manage business, ethical, social and environmental risks arising their business activity, continuously improve through the implementation of corrective measures, immediately notify GAZ-SYSTEM of any breach of the Code. COMPLIANCE GAZ-SYSTEM reserves the right to assess the application of the Code by the Suppliers and verify the compliance of the performance of the object of an agreement with the applicable contractual requirements (according to ISO 9001), as well as with respect to conformity to health and safety and environmental requirements, and specifically the applicable legal regulations and OHSAS and ISO standards. 1 ISO is an international standard providing guidelines for social responsibility. 4

7 GAZ-SYSTEM employees may perform Supplier audits. GAZ-SYSTEM may use third parties to perform any such audits. In the event of any breach of the Code, GAZ-SYSTEM will expect Suppliers to plan and implement corrective measures. If applicable, GAZ-SYSTEM reserves the right to suspend the operation of any Supplier until such non-compliance is resolved. GAZ-SYSTEM reserves the right to terminate the agreement in accordance principles and procedures specified thereunder, if the Supplier determines that compliance with the Code is impossible. COOPERATION WITH SUPPLIERS At GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. we believe that building long-term relationships with suppliers, based on corporate social responsibility principles is crucial for the development of the company. We strive to implement the Code on the basis of dialogue and partnership with suppliers while actively participating in raising awareness of our Suppliers in compliance with the principles of the Code. Ultimately, our goal is to inspire our Suppliers to formulate their own corporate social responsibility policies and implement them by training their staff to observe CSR principles. As a result, the company expects from suppliers openness and cooperation with GAZ-SYSTEM to respect the principles contained in this Code. 5

8 EXPECTED SUPPLIER CONDUCT STANDARDS SUPPLIERS TO GAZ-SYSTEM ARE EXPECTED TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAW, IN PARTICULAR WITH REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES SET OUT BELOW OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY, HEALTH AND FIRE PROTECTION GAZ-SYSTEM is committed to conducting business in compliance with all rules regarding occupational safety, health and fire protection.
