The companies of the BGO Group are: BGO HOLDING GmbH Neutorgasse 4- 8 1010 Vienna Bene GmbH Schwarzwiesenstrasse 3 3340 Waidhofen/ Y. hali GmbH K.—Schachinger-Str. 1 4070 Eferding Neudoerfler Office Systems GmbH Kom.-Rat Karl Markon-Strasse 530 7201 Neudörfl/ L.

The companies of the BGO Group are manufacturers of high-quality products that significantly influence workplaces of the present and the future. For us to meet the expectations of the market this policy defines fundamental principles, guidelines and expectations for establishing and maintaining business relationships. We see our commitment not only as a business responsibility but also as an opportunity to improve the living conditions of people around the world. We act within the scope of the statutory provisions and the provisions and standards customary in the industry as applicable from time to time, and have set ourselves goals beyond the same, in particular in the area of sustainability. To reach those goals we commit ourselves to cooperating with suppliers who share the BGO Group's self-commitment to do business in a legal, sustainable and ethical manner. We promote Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) and recognise the cultural differences and challenges involved in the interpretation and global implementation of these fundamental principles. We are convinced that these fundamental principles are universal, however we understand that the methods for meeting those expectations may be different. They must, however, be in line with the law, values and cultural expectations of different societies around the world. We expect that all partners not only acknowledge this purchasing policy and the following "Guideline for Suppliers, Service Providers and Contractors" but also comply with its values at all times and actively demand them along the entire supply chain. Bases for this policy: SGDs - Principles of the UN Global Compact1 Labour Standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) 2 The companies of the BGO Group reserve the right to check compliance with this policy along the supply chain. If it becomes known that specific processes or conditions do not comply with the policy, the company shall reserve the right to take measures. BGO Purchasing is responsible for managing relationships with suppliers and service providers. Suppliers are requested to contact the competent representatives of BGO Purchasing if they have any questions. In 1 2
