Supplier Code of Conduct Policy

INTRODUCTION

OnLogic is committed to upholding the highest standards in all business dealings with our customers and suppliers. Ensuring OnLogic and our suppliers comply with all laws and regulations, and ensuring fair competition are fundamental to this commitment.

This Supplier Code of Conduct expresses the expectations for ourselves and our suppliers.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER

This Supplier Code of Conduct is in no way intended to conflict with or modify the terms and conditions of any existing contract. In the event of a conflict, suppliers must first adhere to applicable laws and regulations, then the contract terms, followed by this Supplier Code of Conduct.

DEFINITION

For the purposes of this Code, “Supplier” is defined as any third party that directly or indirectly sells, or seeks to sell, any kind of goods or services to OnLogic or on our company’s behalf, including suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, distributors, dealers, sales/marketing representatives, intermediaries, agents, partners, consultants, resellers, systems integrators, or similar entities.

I. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

We expect our suppliers to maintain full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations in their jurisdiction.

A. Maintain Accurate Records

We expect suppliers to create and maintain accurate records, and not alter any record entry to conceal or misrepresent the underlying transaction represented by it. When a record is no longer needed to conduct current business, records should still be retained based on the applicable retention requirements.

II. HUMAN RIGHTS

We expect our suppliers to treat people with respect and dignity, encourage diversity, remain receptive to diverse opinions, promote equal opportunity for all, and foster an inclusive and ethical culture.

A. Child Labor

We expect our suppliers to ensure that illegal child labor is not used in the performance of work.

Suppliers must adhere to all laws and regulations prohibiting human trafficking. Suppliers must educate employees on prohibited trafficking activities, discipline employees found to have violated the law or rules, and notify the contracting officer of violations and action taken against employees.

III. EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

A. Harassment

We expect our suppliers to ensure that their employees are afforded an employment environment that is free from physical, psychological, and verbal harassment, or other abusive conduct.

A. Improper Payments / Business Courtesies

Our suppliers must not offer or make any payments of money or anything of value (including kickbacks, favors, gifts, gratuities, entertainment, travel, political contributions, charitable donations or other business courtesies) to customers, government officials, political parties, candidates for public office, charities, or other business-related parties that could be considered to improperly influence business decisions.

B. Due Diligence

We expect our suppliers to exert appropriate due diligence and monitoring to prevent and detect corruption in all business arrangements, including partnerships, joint ventures, offset agreements, and the engagement of third parties.

C. Antitrust

Our suppliers must comply with anti-competition and antitrust laws and are prohibited from fixing prices, colluding or rigging bids with competitors, allocating customers or markets with competitors, or exchanging any pricing information with our competitors.

Suppliers must comply with all applicable data privacy laws. Suppliers shall assure extension of this requirement to all sub-tier sources they employ.

B. Intellectual Property

We expect our suppliers to respect and comply with all the laws governing intellectual property rights assertions, including protection against disclosure, patents, copyrights, and trademarks.

VII. ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, AND SAFETY

We expect our suppliers to comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety laws, regulations, and directives. Suppliers should protect the health, safety, and welfare of their people, visitors, and others who may be affected by their activities. We expect our suppliers to operate in a manner that actively manages risk, minimizes waste, and protects the environment.

VIII. GLOBAL TRADE COMPLIANCE

Suppliers are encouraged to implement practices and procedures to ensure the security of their supply chains in accordance with the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism initiative of the United States Department of Homeland Security.

B. Export

We expect our suppliers to ensure that their business practices are in accordance with all applicable laws, directives and regulations governing the export of parts, components, and technical data; these include the International Traffic in Arms Regulation and the Export Administration Regulations.

In the case of a violation of law or regulation, we may be required to report those violations to proper authorities. We reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any supplier under the terms of the existing procurement/purchasing contract.

C. Ethics and Compliance Policies

We expect our suppliers to have management systems in place to support compliance with laws, regulations, and the expectations related to or addressed expressly within this Supplier Code of Conduct, which should include measures to address their compliance within these standards and take appropriate action to correct identified deficiencies. We encourage our suppliers to implement their own written code of conduct and to flow down the principles of a code of conduct to the entities that furnish them with goods and services.
