Novolex Employee Code of Conduct
Health and Safety
We are committed to support the safety of our employees, all of whom expect and deserve a safe working environment. We deploy industry-leading workplace policies and programs to constantly improve safety performance across the company with extensive training for employees that promote safe work practices. We also offer a broad spectrum of benefits for all employees to support the health and well-being of employees and their families.
Ethical Business Conduct
Responsible business practices and ethical conduct are fundamental to every aspect of Novolex. The Novolex Employee Code of Conduct explains our expectations for all employees. Every new employee must sign the code when they join the company to acknowledge their understanding and commitment to the code, and they must resign the code annually thereafter. The Novolex Ethics and Integrity Speak-Up Policy further assures employees that they can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. As part of our commitment to responsible business conduct, employees can access the Novolex Ethics and Compliance Hotline if they believe there have been potential violations of the code without fear of retaliation. The 24/7 hotline is available online at ethics.novolex.com or by telephone using one of the toll-free numbers listed on the last page of the code.

Human Rights
The Novolex Human Rights Policy sets forth our responsibilities, commitments, and expectations with regard to respecting and promoting human rights across our business activities. We support a workplace in which employees can grow, contribute, and participate free from discrimination and unfair treatment. We value our diversity which can elicit unique contributions from each of colleagues and allows them to achieve their individual potential. The Novolex Employee Code of Conduct includes provisions that reflect our Human Rights Policy. Respect for human rights starts with zero tolerance for the use of child labor or slave, abusive, forced or bonded labor, as well as human trafficking. Novolex abhors such practices and has instituted a variety of practices to safeguard human rights and promote fair labor practices in our workplace. The Novolex Supplier Code of Conduct extends our commitment to protect human rights to our supply chain partners. The Novolex Modern Slavery Statement explains Novolex initiatives to prevent the use of slave labor in our workplaces or supply chains in compliance with the U.K. Modern Slavery Act, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, the Dutch Child Labor Due Diligence Act, the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, and Canada’s Forced and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act.

Community
At Novolex, we are committed to giving back to our communities. Aligned with Novolex values and businesses, our Focused Giving Program prioritizes support for organizations that focus their programs in three areas: promoting sustainability, addressing food and hunger, or promoting health and well-being. These three topics are particularly meaningful to us because they reflect our business. Novolex designs products and operates facilities in ways that minimize our impact on the environment. Our products support a wide range of customers in the foodservice and food processing business. And we promote the health, safety and well-being of our employees.
