Ethics & Compliance All Link Logistics

Codified standards In addition to our Code of Conduct, the Link Logistics Employee Handbook is also provided to all staff. The handbook outlines our dedication to diversity, workplace safety, anti-harassment and other ethical business conduct. It serves as a guide for how we interact with employees, customers, business partners and the communities where we operate. Ethics and compliance reporting As part of our commitment to upholding all applicable laws and the highest ethical and professional standards, employees are encouraged to report any questions, concerns, or actual or suspected violations of our ethics or applicable laws through our confidential and anonymous 24- hour hotline. Concerns can also be reported to our Legal department, Risk & Compliance department, People & Culture department or directly to a manager. We uphold a strict non-retaliation policy and are dedicated to thoroughly reviewing all reports, conducting fair and appropriate investigations based on the situation, and taking necessary corrective actions when required.

Expectations of our vendors Our Vendor Code of Conduct outlines our expectations for suppliers regarding issues including business conduct, regulatory compliance, wages and benefits, labor rights, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, as well as environmental compliance and sustainability. Progress in 2023 Steps taken last year to strengthen our commitment to ethics and compliance include: • We launched dedicated, standalone compliance and risk management functions. • We insourced our employee relations and whistleblower oversight functions. • We enhanced third-party risk management capabilities to ensure all vendors and customers, as well as their ultimate ownership groups, are continuously screened against applicable sanctions lists.

employees are required to sign our Code of Conduct and participate in annual compliance training to ensure that every employee understands and abides by ethical, lawful and proper workplace conduct.
