Anti - Corruption Policy – Version 3 – September 2021 7 Internal 2.2.2 Facilitation payments A facilitation payment involves paying a sum of money, directly or indirectly, to a public official (for example, a customs or immigration officer) to perform or speed up administrative formalities. These payments are often made in the context of the processing of a visa application, the issuance of an authorization, a permit or a license or customs formalities. Facilitation payments are strictly prohibited. You must ensure that : • You refuse any facilitation payment request made by public official; • You immediately alert your manager and your Compliance Officer, especially when refusal of such payment may represent a security risk for an employee; • You never decide alone if you face a facilitation payment request. 2.2.3 Corruption risks related to our business agents, partners, suppliers and subcontractors Schneider Electric may be responsible for the acts of third parties it has contracted with, especially when such acts are non - compliant with anticorruption laws and made on behalf of or for the benefit of Schneider Electric. In addition, business integrity within our sphere of influence is part of business values, preserving our reputation towards our clients, partners, shareholders and society in general. To help mitigate the possible adverse legal, financial and reputational impacts related to third parties with whom we work, we use, preventive measures, called due diligence, to ensure that we know with whom we are doing business. This assist us in anticipating risks and therefore managing, in more sustainable way, our growth. Some of our products are stuck in customs for clearance: the customs officer tells you that to accelerate the release of the products, you need to pay him a “special” fee in cash.  You must refuse it if there is no security risk for you and explain our zero - tolerance policy against corruption.  If there is any potential security risk, please just reply that you must get confirmation of your manager, and contact him and your Compliance Officer immediately, for guidance.
