 SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

INTRODUCTION:

Packages Group (“PG”) aims for a world class supply chain operation - working in partnership with
vendors, contractors, transporters, service providers (“Suppliers”) who provide high quality innovative
products and services. We expect that suppliers will act to make their own operations more sustainable
through a focus on managing their environmental, human rights and ethical business performance.

Our goal is to develop relationships with Suppliers that share similar corporate values as PG, and
conduct business in an ethical manner.

This Code sets out our minimum compliance standards for our Suppliers.

Suppliers are expected to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and standards.

Where the provisions of applicable local laws and the Code address the same subject, and are not in
conflict, the highest standard shall be applied. Should any of the requirements in the Code conflict with
applicable local laws in the sense that it would represent a breach of applicable local laws if the Code
were applied, the highest standards consistent with applicable local laws shall be applied.

as to avoid unrestricted disclosure of Supplier’s confidential information and without disrupting Supplier’s
work unduly.

immediate termination rights.
