1.2.14 Business Integrity

I. Introduction The Company’s Ethics & Compliance programme seeks to ensure that the Company’s business practices conform to applicable laws, regulations and ethical business principles, as well as reinforcing a culture of integrity and speak-up. In 2022, Ethics & Compliance continued to be a top priority for the Company. In its list of priorities for the year, the Company set the objective to Speak Up, Listen Up and act with integrity and respect. The Company has worked over the past several years to develop an Ethics & Compliance programme that is structured around the following key risk areas: Business Ethics / Anti-Corruption

Compliance, Export Compliance and Privacy. Each of these areas is, in turn, supported by dedicated compliance policies and a team responsible for their implementation, together with the identification and proposal of new measures to adapt to a constantly evolving regulatory landscape. Improving the Ethics & Compliance programme remains a constant and ongoing process, in cooperation with other functions within the Company, in order to sustain and capitalise on its values.

II. Governance The Ethics & Compliance organisation is part of the Legal Department under the ultimate responsibility of the Company’s General Counsel. The aim is to provide strong governance throughout the Company with the global presence of qualified Compliance officers who ensure the Ethics & Compliance programme is implemented consistently in the different functional and operational areas. The Company’s Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer, who reports to both the General Counsel and the ECSC of the Board of Directors, leads a dedicated team of Compliance professionals who are responsible for supporting and advising across the Company on compliance related topics, supporting the day-to day business, performing risk assessments, drafting policies, conducting third party due diligence, investigating compliance

allegations, implementing tools and controls and delivering compliance training. The ECSC also plays a key role in the oversight and continued development of the Company’s Ethics & Compliance programme, organisation and framework for the effective governance of Ethics & Compliance. In addition to the dedicated Compliance professionals, the Company is coordinating a network of part-time Ethics & Compliance Representatives (“ ECRs ”), spanning all Divisions, functions, and regions. The number of ECRs slightly increased in 2022, with a total of 373 ECRs at the end of 2022 (compared to 340 at the end of 2021). Although the ECR network members are not compliance experts, they play an important role in promoting
