    Kuehne + Nagel Supplier Code of Conduct

    Kuehne + Nagel is a global leader in international forwarding with 900 locations in more than
    100 countries. We deal with a large network of suppliers and other third parties that
    contribute to our success. The way we purchase supplies and contract out operations affects
    our reputation as a responsible corporate citizen. Our suppliers play an important role as
    enablers of our sustainable growth and overall success. Kuehne + Nagel has set forth
    principles that are key for economic, social and environmental sustainability in order to
    ensure long-time success of Kuehne + Nagel and its stakeholders. Because of this, Kuehne
    + Nagel requires its suppliers to adhere to the principles embodied in the Supplier Code of
    Conduct and to use reasonable efforts to ensure that their own suppliers will also comply
    with these principles.

    Laws and Ethical Standards

    Suppliers shall conduct their business in an ethical manner and act with integrity. This
    includes:

    1. Suppliers shall comply with all laws of the applicable legal system.

    2. Suppliers shall comply with international and local anti-corruption and bribery laws and
    standards. This includes that the supplier may not offer services, gifts or benefits to Kuehne
    + Nagel employees in order to influence employee conduct in representing Kuehne + Nagel.

    3. All supplier workers should be encouraged to report concerns or illegal activities in the
    workplace.

    Labor

    Suppliers shall be committed to uphold internationally proclaimed human rights of workers.


    The labor elements include:

    1. Child labor: Suppliers shall not employ children under the age of 15. If national laws or
    regulations allow children between the ages of 13 and 15 to perform light work, such work is
    not permitted in any case if it hinders a minor from the completion of compulsory schooling
    or training, or if the employment would be harmful to their health or development (ILO
    convention 138).

    2. Freely chosen employment: Suppliers shall not use forced, indentured or involuntary
    prison labor.

    3. Working Hours and compensation: Suppliers shall comply with local laws and regulations
    regarding working hours, wages and benefits.

    4. Non-Discrimination: Suppliers shall provide a workplace free of harassment and


    discrimination. Discrimination for reasons such as race, color, age, gender, sexual
    orientation, ethnicity, disability, religion, political affiliation, union membership or marital
    status is not tolerated.
    -2-

    5. Freedom of Association: Suppliers shall recognize the right of free association of


    employees and to neither favor nor discriminate against members of employee organizations
    or trade unions.

    Health and Safety

    Suppliers shall comply with occupational health and safety regulations and provide a work
    environment that is safe and conductive to good health in order to preserve the health of
    employees and prevent accidents, injuries and work-related illness.

    Environment

    Suppliers shall comply with all applicable environmental laws, regulations and standards.
    Suppliers are encouraged to conserve natural resources, to avoid the use of hazardous
    materials where possible and to encourage the diffusion of environmentally friendly
    technologies implementing sound life-cycle practices.

    Supply Chain

    Suppliers shall use reasonable efforts to promote the principles stated in this Supplier Code
    of Conduct among its suppliers and to comply with the principles of non discrimination with
    regard to supplier selection and treatment.

    Declaration of the Supplier

    1. We have received a copy of the Supplier Code of Conduct and hereby commit ourselves,
    in addition to our commitments set out in the supply agreements and/or purchase orders
    with Kuehne + Nagel, to comply with its principles and requirements.

    2. We agree that any breach of the principles stipulated in this Supplier Code of conduct is
    considered a material breach of contract by supplier.

    3. We agree that this declaration is subject to the substantive laws, legal proceedings and
    venue which are set out in the supply agreements and/or purchase orders concluded
    between Kuehne + Nagel and us.
