INTRODUCTION
This Ma'aden's Suppliers Code of Conduct and Ethics (the Code) applies to all providers of
goods / services / work to Ma'aden, its subsidiaries and affiliates (Ma'aden).
1. LEGAL COMPLIANCE:
Ma'aden's Suppliers (Suppliers) are obligated, in all of their business related activities, to
comply with the applicable laws, rules and regulations in Saudi Arabia. Ma'aden's
Suppliers will not seek competitive advantages through illegal or unethical business
methods.
Supplier must uphold the human rights of its employees, treat them with dignity and
respect and promote equal opportunities for and treatment of its employees. Basic
Human Rights would cover:
A. Discrimination
Within the framework of Saudi Arabian Law, providers of goods and/or services
(Suppliers) shall not discriminate against any worker based on race. color, age,
gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, religion. political affiliation, union
membership, national origin. or marital status in hiring and employment practices
such as applications for employment, promotions, rewards, access to training, job
assignments, wages. benefits, discipline, and termination.
B. Harassment
C. Minimum Wages
Suppliers must compensate their workers in line with all applicable local wage laws
and regulations. including those relating to minimum wages, if any. overtime hours
and legally mandated benefits. Any disciplinary wage deductions are to conform to
local law.
Ma'aden Suppliers shall not use subcontractors without making all commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain Ma'aden's prior written consent and shall require the
subcontractor to enter into a written commitment with the Supplier to comply with the
Code. Ma'aden Suppliers must ensure that any subcontractor that may be used has
ethical and business practices similar to Ma'aden's practices.
Suppliers must insure that they have a safe and healthy working environment to
include appropriate controls, safe procedures, preventative maintenance and
appropriate protective equipment in compliance with all applicable laws and
regUlations. This is especially important when dealing with hazardous materials.
Suppliers should ensure that their employees are educated in health and safety
issues and to set-up or use an occupational health and safety management system
according to OHSAS 18001 or equivalent
Ma'aden expects that its Suppliers will act in an environmentally responsible manner.
As a minimum, this means Suppliers shall be in compliance with applicable local and
international environmental laws and regulations, and be committed and have the
ability to remediate any environmental problems they may cause. All waste materials
and production by-products should be disposed of properly and in an environmentally
responsible manner. Violation of the foregoing may result in cancellation by Ma'aden

Ma'aden or its affiliates and subSidiaries.

offered or accepted. No Supplier, or its representatives or employees, shall offer to
any Ma'aden employee a kickback, favor, gratuity, entertainment or anything of
lABORATORY SERVICES FOR METALLURGICAL TESTWORK ALS METALLURGY PrY LTD
CONTRACT NO. MGBM-14-527~1 PAGE 220F24
value to obtain favorable treatment from Ma'aden. Ma'aden employees are similarly
prohibited from soliciting or offering such items. This prohibition extends to first
degree relatives (l.e. Father, Mother, Spouse and Children) of both Suppliers and
Ma'aden employees. As long as a gift is not intended to obtain favorable treatment
for the Suppliers and does not create the appearance of a bribe, kickback, payoff or
irregular type of payment, Ma'aden employees are not prohibited from accepting the
gift if it is SR 500 per year or less in value provided the name of the donor is clearly
reflected on the item and the item is designed for use in the employee's office.
(These gifts shall not include normal discounts or special treatment for aU Ma'aden
employees, such as hotel, air tickets and car rental discounts.).
(3) Information regarding Ma'aden business activities, structure, financial situation and
performance and/or any other information deemed confidential is not to be
disclosed outside the normal course of business.
(4) Intellectual property rights are to be respected; transfer of technology and know-
how is to be done in a manner that protects intellectual property rights. Ma'aden's
logos, marks and strap lines shall not be used by the Supplier without Ma'aden's
written approval.
6. COMMUNICATION
Ma'aden Suppliers must communicate this Code and its provisions to their engaging
employees and to their subcontractors used in supplies intended for Ma'aden.
In order to encourage persons to report any violations to Ma'aden, where persons find it
difficult to make any reports by telephone or in person, reports of violations may be
submitted anonymously.

Please find attached an updated Authorities and Delegations Matrix designed to streamline the
business process and avoid confusion regarding approval authorities. The matrix has been
constructed with 'operational business processes' in mind. Inclusion or exclusion from the matrix in
no way defines hierarchical position within the company organisational structure.
The matrix has been constructed in good faith. Expenses/Contracts/ Delegations should not be
split in an effort to avoid approval or senior level review.
Capital approval authorities may be delegated downward up to the maximum value assigned of the
senior officer, however the responsibility for delegation will always reside with the senior officer.
