Code of conduct for suppliers

1. Introduction

Humana's vision is "Everyone has the right to a good life". To live up to it, we must be a reliable, safe and stable care company with high quality and safety in everything we do. We strive for continuous improvements to promote sustainable, ethical and responsible development. Humana's responsibilities apply to relationships with all customers, clients, relatives, clients, employees, investors and even suppliers. We have adopted this Supplier Code of Conduct ("Supplier Code") to ensure that Humana's suppliers are aware of our requirements and expectations of them and work to comply with them.

The Supplier Code is based on Humana's Code of Conduct and our values, which are applied equally to Humana's employees, management team and Board of Directors.

2. Scope

The Supplier Code applies to Humana's suppliers.

3. Responsibility, monitoring, and evaluation

Humana's CFO is responsible for ensuring that the group has a Supplier Code and shall review compliance with the policy at least annually. The group's purchasing function is responsible for reviewing the Supplier Code at least annually and updating it when necessary.

4. Main principle

The content and structure of the Supplier Code are based on the UN Global Compact. The ten principles presented there apply as an integral part of this supplier code and are presented in Appendix 1.

5. Laws and regulations

The supplier shall comply with laws and regulations, directives, and standards in the countries where they operate, and possess all necessary permits, licenses, and registrations for their business.

6. Business ethics

The supplier's business shall be conducted according to good business practice, promote free competition, and maintain high ethical standards. No form of corruption, bribery, money laundering, or unauthorized restriction of competition is allowed. Representation and gifts should be characterized by openness, moderation, and always have a natural connection to the business relationship.

7. Environment

The supplier shall take responsibility for climate and environmental issues and be able to demonstrate active climate and environmental work, and have knowledge and control over their climate and environmental impact, preferably through climate goals, a certified environmental management system, and a formulated environmental policy. The supplier shall comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations and continuously work with environmental improvement measures in their operations to reduce their emissions to air, land, and water, as well as improve their energy and resource efficiency.

8. Information management

Information related to Humana's operations may only be used for its intended purposes, and the supplier shall treat all such data confidentially and in accordance with current legislation.

9. Working conditions

The supplier shall support and respect internationally declared human rights and treat their employees and suppliers fairly, equally, and with respect for human dignity. Furthermore, the supplier shall comply with occupational health and safety laws and work towards a safe and healthy work environment, from physical, mental, and social perspectives, and work systematically and preventively to continuously improve the work environment and health.

10. Anti-discrimination

Discrimination, regardless of grounds, must not occur at the supplier in recruitment, wage setting, promotion, training, or termination. The supplier shall ensure that harassment, bullying, threats, oppression, or other degrading treatment does not occur, and is also expected to work actively for increased equality and diversity and to counteract discrimination.

11. Compliance

The supplier is responsible for ensuring that the content of this code of conduct is implemented and adhered to in their own operations as well as in the underlying supply chain.

Humana may, where reasons exist, conduct a check of compliance with the code of conduct, which can be done through its own inspection or via a third party. In such an inspection, the supplier is expected to cooperate fully so that the purpose of the inspection can be achieved.

If the supplier deviates from the conditions in the Code of Conduct and if improvements are not made within the agreed time, the business cooperation may be terminated.
