- SECTION 2: HUMAN RIGHTS AND LABOR PRACTICE
- SECTION 3: HEALTH AND SAFETY
- SECTION 4: ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS
INTRODUCTION
Inmar, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Inmar”) are committed to conducting business in a lawful and ethical manner, including engaging with suppliers that are committed to the same principles to ensure a long-term, sustainable, and successful relationship for all parties.
This Supplier Code of Conduct (this “Code”) applies to Inmar’s suppliers and their subsidiaries, affiliates, and subcontractors (each a "supplier") providing goods or services to Inmar or its subsidiaries, or for use in or with one or more of its subsidiaries’ products, as determined by the Inmar Procurement Team.
Certain laws, often termed Fair Access Laws, including but not limited to the Idaho Transparency in Financial Services Act (§ 26-3801 et seq.) and Florida Statute § 560.1115, prohibit financial institutions and covered entities from conditioning access to financial services or engaging in discriminatory practices based on non-financial criteria, including environmental, social and governance or diversity, equity and inclusion benchmarks. Accordingly, to the extent that Inmar or any parent or subsidiary is subject to such laws, compliance with the policies or standards in this Code shall not be required where doing so would contravene applicable state or federal law. Nothing in this Code shall be construed to require conduct that violates any applicable state or federal law governing fair access to financial services or the use of non-risk-based criteria.
Inmar will assess its suppliers’ alignment with this Code from time to time, as it deems appropriate. This Code, and the level of adherence to it, will be considered in conjunction with the evaluation of any ongoing supplier relationship.
To further the implementation of this Code, the supplier will use reasonable, risk-based efforts to promote compliance by its direct subcontractors involved in providing services to Inmar. Upon written request, the supplier will provide information on material non-compliance identified in that direct tier.
SECTION 1: CONDUCTING BUSINESS
Inmar expects the highest standards of ethical conduct from all its suppliers and third-party providers. Suppliers are required to comply with all laws, rules, regulations, and treaties applicable to the products and/or services provided to Inmar in all locations in which business operations are conducted. If there is a direct conflict between anything in this Code and a signed agreement between the parties, the signed agreement controls.
- Compliance: The supplier must comply with all applicable international, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, laws relating to human rights, labor practices, environmental protection, data privacy, anti-corruption, export controls, and sanctions.
- Bribery: All forms of bribery, corruption, extortion, or embezzlement are prohibited, and the supplier should maintain appropriate measures designed to prevent bribery in all commercial dealings and in dealings with public officials.
- Protection of Intellectual Property and Data Security: The supplier shall respect intellectual property rights and safeguard customer information. The supplier shall manage technology and know-how in a manner that protects intellectual property rights. Suppliers must maintain cybersecurity protocols and data protection measures to protect against unauthorized access or disclosure, and notify Inmar without undue delay no later than 72 hours after confirming a Security Incident involving Inmar Confidential Information (as defined in the applicable non-disclosure agreement between Inmar and the supplier) or personally identifiable information. “Security Incident” means unauthorized access, acquisition, or disclosure of Inmar Confidential Information, regulated data, personally identifiable information or Inmar customer information, excluding unsuccessful attempts. The supplier shall ensure compliance with applicable data protection and privacy regulations (1) in its jurisdictions of operation, and (2) where such data is located or resides (e.g., data centers, cloud service providers, sub-processors, disaster recovery locations, etc.).
- Artificial Intelligence: If the supplier makes use of artificial intelligence, the supplier must use artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws and contracts. At a minimum, the supplier should:
- ensure that any AI systems are safe and secure;
- take responsible steps to prevent discrimination, bias, or misuse of Inmar or customer data;
- be transparent about AI systems, where relevant;
- ensure the explainability, auditability, and traceability of AI systems used or developed by the supplier;
- establish and maintain appropriate governance practices that promote the ethical use of AI systems.
- Gifts and Hospitality: Gifts and hospitality must be reasonable and entirely for maintaining good business relations, not intended to influence the outcome of decision-making (see also Section 1.2). Inmar expressly prohibits the expenditure of funds for any purpose that may violate any applicable law or regulation.
- Financial Management and Disclosure: The supplier must record all commercial dealings accurately and transparently in its record-keeping systems. The supplier shall not conduct any money-laundering activities. Confidential information of Inmar (or its customers) must not be used inappropriately or to support insider trading activity.

The supplier should maintain a mechanism for workers to submit their grievances anonymously. The supplier must maintain compliance with all federal, state, and local laws pertaining to whistleblower protections.
- Reviews and Assessments: Inmar may request information or conduct reviews to confirm a supplier’s alignment with this Code. Any such requests or reviews will be made with reasonable notice. If concerns are identified, the supplier is expected to work in good faith with Inmar to address them. Inmar is not obligated to conduct reviews.

There should not be any unreasonable restrictions on the ability of employees to leave the workplace and/or find alternative employment.
- Modern Slavery Due Diligence Requirements: Suppliers must implement due diligence processes to prevent, identify and remediate forced labor and human trafficking throughout their operations.

The supplier shall not allow workers under the age of 18 to work night shifts or be involved in any hazardous work, as specified in the ILO’s Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182).
- Wages, Benefits and Working Hours: The supplier shall adhere to all applicable laws regarding working hours, wages, social security payments and overtime payments. Workers shall be paid at least the minimum legal wage. Where there is no legislated minimum wage, the supplier must be able to demonstrate that an employee’s wages meet industry norms. Wages shall be paid promptly and in full. The supplier will limit working hours and overtime to levels that are humane and safe.
