The Meggitt Code of Conduct

1.0 PURPOSE

Meggitt PLC and all subsidiary companies will conduct business fairly, impartially, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Our values of Teamwork, Integrity and Excellence are at the heart of how we do things, and we reinforce these daily by applying our high performance culture principles. We are firmly committed to integrity, honesty and respect for others in all our business relationships, including those with customers, suppliers, communities where we conduct business, and amongst employees. The highest standard of ethical behaviour is expected from all of our employees, directors, and from those who act on Meggitt’s behalf in the performance of their professional responsibilities and in their own personal conduct.

Our Code of Conduct promotes “doing the right thing” and “doing things right” so that we maintain our personal and business integrity. No Code of Conduct can address every possible situation. Where a specific action is not mentioned or you are not sure what action to take, you should always seek guidance. This Code will help you identify the right resources and the people who can help you.

• Sponsor an independently operated and monitored Speak-aUp Line to enable employees to report questions or concerns about possible misconduct or to seek guidance about the proper course of action. The free telephone numbers are provided at the end of this Code and on posters in our sites. You can also raise issues or concerns using the website or app;
