1. Purpose
Utilli and the United States Government prohibit trafficking in persons. The U.S. Government’s policy prohibiting trafficking in persons is available at 48 CFR § 52.222-50 and is summarized below under the heading: “Summary of U.S. Government Policy of Prohibiting Trafficking in Persons.”
Utilli is committed to a work environment that is free from human trafficking and slavery, which for purposes of this policy includes forced labor and unlawful child labor. Utilli will not tolerate or condone human trafficking or slavery in any part of our global organization.
Utilli employees, subsidiaries, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, partners, and others through whom Utilli conducts business must avoid complicity in any practice that constitutes trafficking in persons or slavery.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all personnel employed by or engaged to provide services to Utilli, including, but not limited to, employees, officers, and temporary employees of Utilli and Utilli’s U.S. international suppliers, partners, and independent contractors (for ease of reference throughout this policy, “employees”).
Every employee is responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with this policy. Utilli managers are responsible for ensuring that employees who report to them, directly or indirectly, comply with this policy and complete any certification or training required of them. If you have any questions or concerns relating to this policy, consult the Utilli legal department or human resources department.
3. Procedures
Report any conduct that you believe to be a violation of this policy to Utilli’s legal or human resources department. Reports may also be made through the Utilli Ethic Hotline at +13017607760 or via email at [email protected], which allows anonymous reporting as permitted by applicable law.
Employees who fail to report actual or suspected misconduct may be deemed in violation of
this policy.
4. Disciplinary Actions
Utilli will not tolerate retaliation against an employee for reporting a concern in good faith or for cooperating with a compliance investigation, even when no evidence is found to substantiate the report.
Any violation of this policy may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Utilli and its subsidiaries have the exclusive right to interpret this policy regarding their respective employees. Violation of the U.S. Government’s policy against human trafficking may also result in criminal prosecution of responsible individuals.
5. Summary of U.S. Government Policy of Prohibiting Trafficking in Persons
U.S. Government policy prohibits trafficking in persons and slavery. Government contractors and their employees, subcontractors, subcontractor employees, and agents must not engage in any practice that constitutes trafficking in persons or slavery. This includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:

• Using recruiters that do not comply with local labor laws of the country in which the recruiting takes place.
