Business Ethics, Transparency and Compliance

At FPS, we are committed to conducting our business with the highest ethical standards and integrity. We prohibit all forms of bribery, corruption and anti-competitive behavior in our business and comply with the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Ethical business conduct is not only a compliance requirement but a foundation of our corporate culture.

Policy

Our Legal and Compliance Department, led by the Vice President, Human Resources & Legal and Compliance and reporting directly to the CEO, is responsible for overseeing all ethics and integrity-related policies and procedures.

This includes policy development, training coordination, and responding to concerns raised through internal channels and contractual arrangements related to business ethics and integrity. The department comprises five in-house legal professionals and supports all entities globally.

Our team monitors and maintains the following policies and procedures:

• FPS Code of Conduct

• Anti-Bribery Compliance Policy

• Anti-Trust Competition Compliance Policy

• Economic and Trade Sanctions Policy

• Record Management Policy

• Legal Entity Governance Policy

• Legal Guidelines and Procedures

Actions and Initiatives

The FPS Code of Conduct outlines our expectations regarding ethical behavior and guides colleagues and stakeholders in maintaining integrity, transparency, and respect. The Code includes:

• Expectations for behavior and compliance

• Processes for addressing violations

• Mandatory annual online training modules

• A closing questionnaire to ensure understanding and commitment

Violations of the Code, related policies, or applicable laws may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment or business relationships.

Criminal prosecution may apply where laws are breached. The Code is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect our evolving vision, values, and legal requirements, and is made accessible online to colleagues and business partners.

We maintain a 24/7 ethics and compliance hotline hosted by a third-party provider ETHICO to provide colleagues with a place to report violations of our ethics policy that may impact on the business without fear of repercussions.

At FPS, we encourage colleagues to report fraud, bribery, accounting, auditing, other financial practices, discrimination, harassment, violations of law, or other unethical activities.

Our Human Resources (HR) and Legal Department evaluate these feedback and reports and ensure necessary action will be taken in terms of our business code of conduct and ethical compliance.

All FPS colleagues receive the Code of Conduct upon joining the company and all our colleagues have read and acknowledged the Code of Conduct.

To ensure ongoing awareness, we require annual refreshment training across all entities. In 2025, 3,803 colleagues received anti-corruption and business ethics training, which covered:

• Types of corruption (Bribery, Facilitation Payments, Kickbacks)

• Conflict of interest

• Gifts and hospitality guidelines

• Third-party risk management

• Whistleblowing and non-retaliation principles

• Legal obligations and internal reporting mechanisms

Awareness is reinforced through internal communications, informative media shared with colleagues, and recognition of Global Ethics Day across all FPS locations.
