13.2 A SAFE PLACE TO WORK

    To work effectively, all of us need a healthy and safe work environment. All forms of substance abuse as well as the use or distribution of drugs and alcohol while at work is prohibited. Unless required as part of your role (for instance for security personnel where deemed necessary), possession and / or use of weapons / firearms or ammunition while on business of the Company is prohibited. All of us should be safe at our place of work. Should you observe any unsafe situations at work, please reach out to the Helpline. Please also take the time to familiarize yourselves with emergency procedures and the safety manuals applicable to your location.

13.3 PREVENTING CORRUPTION

    We should never offer, directly or indirectly, any form of gift, entertainment or anything of value to any government official, commercial partners including customers or their representatives to:

    • Obtain or retain business;
    • Influence business decisions; or
    • Secure an unfair advantage - this includes bribes, kickbacks and facilitation payments.

13.4 GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

    In connection with certain holidays and other occasions, it is customary in many parts of the world to give gifts of nominal value to customers, government officials and other parties who have a business relationship with the Company. However, we should be careful that while doing so, we do not violate any regulations or do anything that is contrary to our Corporate life values. When we make a gift to a customer, a government official or any third party, we should keep the following in mind:

    • It is not done to obtain or retain business or gain an improper advantage in business;
    • It is lawful under the laws of the country where the gift is being given and permitted under the policies of the client
    • It constitutes a bona fide promotion or goodwill expenditure;
    • It is not in the form of cash;
    • The gift is accurately recorded in the Company’s books and records;
    • The gift is of nominal value (on an individual and aggregate basis);
    • Accepting Gifts: The same principles apply if a customer or supplier wishes to give us a gift or any other token of their appreciation

13.5 PROTECTING COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

    For the Company, its confidential information is a valuable asset and every director, employee and agent of the Company must protect it. Confidential information includes all non-public information (regardless of its source) that might be of use to the Company’s competitors or harmful to the Company if disclosed. We must take care that all confidential information is used for Company business purposes only. As employees, we have access to significant amounts of company information that may not be available to the public, and we should preserve the confidentiality of information obtained in the Company’s service.

13.6 EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

    Employers shall adopt and adhere to rules and conditions of employment that respect workers and, at a minimum, safeguard their rights under national and international labor and social security laws and regulations.

13.7 FORCED LABOR

    Prohibits the use of forced labor in our operations, i.e., any work or service that a worker performs involuntarily, including under threat of physical harm or other penalty. There shall be no use of forced labor, including prison labor, indentured labor, bonded labor or other forms of forced labor. VHRS will not tolerate or condone human trafficking or slavery in any part of our global organization. This policy is consistent with our core values to protect and advance human dignity and human rights in our global business practices.

13.8 CHILD LABOR

    No person shall be employed under the age of 18 or under the age for completion of compulsory education, whichever is higher.

13.9 COMPENSATION

    Every worker has a right to compensation for a regular work week that is sufficient to meet the worker’s basic needs and provide some discretionary income. Employers shall pay at least the minimum wage or the appropriate prevailing wage, whichever is higher, comply with all legal requirements on wages, and provide any fringe benefits required by law or contract. Where compensation does not meet workers’ basic needs and provide some discretionary income, each employer shall work with the FLA to take appropriate actions that seek to progressively realize a level of compensation that does.

13.10 SAFETY AND HEALTH

    We use internal and external expertise to provide a safe work environment. Specifically, we: (i) provide safety training for all employees as required for their work; (ii) establish first aid and medical treatment procedures to provide employees with appropriate care; (iii) conduct careful investigations of accidents to avoid recurrence, and study the safety and health features of any new equipment, materials or process; and (iv) solicit employee involvement and support through safety committees or other avenues for employee input.

13.11 Third Party Representation

    We aim to have constructive relationships with our employees and their unions. VHRS respects the interests of its employees to join (or not join) a union. In those situations where our employees have third-party representation, we will work with employee representatives in a direct and straightforward manner.

13.12 BUSINESS INTEGRITY
