Reflecting this commitment, all directors, officers, and colleagues are expected to comply with the Condair’s Code of Business Conduct in conducting their business relationships. To maintain these standards, Condair’s desires to do business with those suppliers, vendors, and contractors (collectively, “Suppliers”) whose practices are consistent with Condair’s ethics and principles of business conduct. This Supplier Code of Conduct (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Code”) sets forth the types of standards and practices that Condair expects of its Suppliers.
The Condair’s Supplier Code of Conduct is modeled on and contains language from the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct.

To meet social responsibilities and to achieve success in the marketplace, Suppliers are to uphold the highest standards of ethics including:
Condair has a Gift Policy that restricts Condair employees from accepting gifts from suppliers or prospective suppliers. Gifts include cash, cash equivalents, goods, services, entertainment, or hospitality. A gift is exempt from the Gift Policy only if it qualifies as being professional in nature and provides no personal benefit to the recipient. We ask our Suppliers not to place our employees in the difficult position of having to refuse gifts that would place them in conflict with the Condair Gift Policy.
Condair expects its Suppliers to conduct their businesses in a manner that preserves and protects the environment. To minimize or eliminate negative impacts of their operations on the environment, Suppliers should endeavor to minimize waste, avoid excess packaging, use nontoxic, recycled and recyclable materials where possible and promote energy efficiency. Suppliers that provide animal products should ensure that animals are treated in accordance with government and industry-accepted guidelines for humane treatment.
