(the "Corporation") for use at the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation (the "Meeting") to be held at 10:00 a.m. May 13, 2026 at the head office of the Corporation located at 2574 Sheffield Road, Ottawa, Ontario, K1B 3V7 for the purposes set out in the Notice of Meeting. This solicitation is made by the management of the Corporation. It is expected that the solicitation will primarily be by mail. Proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by regular employees of and by agents engaged by the Corporation at nominal cost. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Corporation. Except as otherwise stated, the information contained herein is given as of March 26, 2026 (the "Record Date").
The form of proxy forwarded to shareholders with the Notice of Meeting confers discretionary authority upon the proxy nominees with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting or other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.
REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS – VOTING BY PROXY
The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy for the Meeting are officers of the Corporation.
A registered holder of common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") has the right to appoint some other person, who need not be a shareholder, to represent the shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the persons designated in the accompanying form of proxy and by inserting such other person's name in the blank space provided or by executing another proper form of proxy.
Completed forms of proxy must be received by Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the transfer agent of the Corporation, at Computershare Investor Services, Proxy Department, 14th Floor, 320 Bay St., Toronto, ON M5H 4A6 not later than 10:00 a.m. (in Toronto) on May 11, 2026 or may be accepted by the Chairman of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting. The Chairman may waive or extend the proxy cut-off without notice. The form of proxy also provides details on how you may submit your proxy by telephone or internet.
The form of proxy affords the registered shareholder an opportunity to specify that the shares registered in his or her name shall be voted for, against or withheld from voting in respect of the matters to come before the Meeting, as applicable.
Management Proxy Circular for
Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders, May 13, 2026
On any ballot that may be called for, the shares represented by proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted for, against or withheld from voting in respect of the matters to come before the Meeting in accordance with the instructions given in such proxies.
In respect of proxies in which the shareholders have not specified that the proxy nominees are required to vote for, against or withhold from voting in respect of the matters scheduled to come before the Meeting, the shares represented by the proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted for the matters described in the Notice of Meeting.
Management knows of no matters scheduled to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy nominees.
A proxy given by a registered shareholder for use at the Meeting may be revoked at any time prior to its use. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. Any such instrument revoking a proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or an adjournment thereof or be deposited with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. If the instrument of revocation is deposited with the Chairman on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the instrument will not be effective with respect to any matter on which a vote has already been cast pursuant to such proxy.
NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS – VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM
Only registered holders of Common Shares or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Many shareholders are “non-registered” shareholders (“Non-Registered Shareholders”) because the shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead either (i) registered in the name of an intermediary (the “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares, such as, among others, brokerage firms, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans, or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Corporation has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Management Proxy Circular and the enclosed form of proxy (collectively the “Meeting Materials”) to Intermediaries and clearing agencies for onward distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders of Commons Shares.
Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, your name and address will appear on the voting instruction form sent to you by an Intermediary (bank, broker or trust company). A Non-Registered Shareholder may vote or appoint a proxy by mail, phone, fax or on the Internet in accordance with the voting instruction form. Your Intermediary, as registered holder, will submit the vote or proxy appointment to the Corporation on your behalf. You must submit your voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions and within the time limits set by your Intermediary. If you or a person you designate plan to attend the meeting and vote you must appoint yourself or that person as proxy using the voting instruction form.
Management Proxy Circular for Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders, May 13, 2026
Page 4 of 20
The Non-Registered Shareholder should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the voting instructions form is to be delivered.
A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a form of proxy or voting instructions form given to an Intermediary by contacting the Intermediary through which the Non-Registered Shareholder’s Common Shares are held and following the instructions of the Intermediary respecting the revocation of proxies. In order to ensure that an Intermediary acts upon a revocation of a proxy form or voting instruction form, the written notice should be received by the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting.
These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the issuer or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Introduction
This compensation discussion and analysis describes and explains the Corporation’s policies and practices with respect to the compensation of its named executive officers, being each of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Named Executive Officers”). No executive officer of the Corporation earned total compensation in excess of $150,000 during the year ended November 30, 2025 except for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer.
Objectives of the Compensation Strategy
The Corporation’s executive compensation philosophy is to provide competitive compensation to attract and retain talented staff capable of achieving the Corporation’s strategic and performance objectives. Accordingly, an appropriate portion of total compensation is variable and linked to individual and corporate performance. Consistent with this philosophy, the primary objectives of the Corporation’s compensation program for its Named Executive Officers are:
- to motivate the executive management team to meet and exceed operating targets and long-term strategic goals; and
- to align the interests of management and the Corporation’s shareholders by emphasizing performance-based compensation that recognizes individual and corporate performance, and which helps increase long-term shareholder value.
The compensation program seeks to align management interests with shareholder interests through long-term incentives linking compensation to performance. The long-term incentive is in the form of stock option grants, which create a direct correlation between variations in the Corporation’s stock price and the compensation of the Named Executive Officer.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is tasked with (i) reviewing and studying compensation and compensation policies for the Corporation and reporting on such matters to the Board of Directors; and (ii) reviewing the goals and objectives of the Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of each year and providing an appraisal of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance for the most recently completed year. The compensation for all remaining executives (except for that contractually provided for) is determined by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Board of Directors.
Management Proxy Circular for Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders, May 13, 2026

Management Proxy Circular for
Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders, May 13, 2026
Elements of Executive Compensation
Compensation of the Corporation’s Named Executive Officers for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025 included one or more of the following components:
- Base salary.
- Performance bonus.
- Long-term incentives in the form of stock options granted pursuant to the Corporation’s amended and restated stock option plan (the “Option Plan”).
The Corporation believes that these elements of compensation, when combined, provide an appropriate mix of conventional and incentive-based compensation. The base salary, on the one hand, provides for a stable income while the incentive compensation under the Option Plan recognizes longer-term contributions and aligns management and shareholder interests.
In establishing base salaries and granting stock options, the Board of Directors considers the executive’s performance, level of expertise, responsibilities and length of service to the Corporation. To date, a benchmarking exercise has not yet been undertaken in respect of compensation of Named Executive Officers.
The Chief Executive Officer was also entitled to variable compensation based on the achievement of objectives set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, $15,000 was payable if the Corporation achieved growth of at least 8% in year over year sales growth; an additional $2,500 bonus for each additional 1% in year over year sales growth between 8% and 18% and an additional $3,000 bonus for each additional 1% in year over year sales growth above 18%. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, the Corporation’s sales declined. Accordingly, no CEO bonus was paid for 2025.
Compensation Risk
The Board of Directors considers and assesses, as necessary, the implications of risks associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices and devotes such time and resources as it believes are appropriate given the Corporation’s size and straightforward method of executive compensation. The Corporation’s practice during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025 of compensating its officers through a mix of base salary and long-term incentives was designed to mitigate risk by: (i) ensuring that the Corporation retains such officers; and (ii) aligning the interests of its officers with the short-term and long-term objectives of the Corporation and its shareholders. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, the Board did not identify any risks arising from the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices that the board believed were reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.
Financial Instruments
Except where prohibited by law, the Corporation’s executive officers and directors have not been prohibited from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by an executive officer or director. To the Corporation’s knowledge, no executive officer or director of the Corporation has entered into or purchased such a financial instrument.
Option Based Awards
In establishing levels of stock option grants to be issued to the Named Executive Officers, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee (as defined under the heading “Composition of Compensation Committee” below) of the Board of Directors considers the executive’s performance, level of expertise, responsibilities and length of services to the Corporation. Stock options already held by Named Executive Officers are considered in granting new options. Further information regarding the Corporation’s Option Plan is set out below under the heading “Equity Compensation Plan Information”.

GENERAL MATTERS
SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
The Corporation’s Option Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Corporation as of June 30, 2002 and amended with shareholder approval most recently as of May 10, 2022. The purpose of the Option
Plan is to develop the interest of and provide an incentive to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Corporation in the Corporation's growth and development by granting to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants, from time to time, options to purchase Common Shares, thereby advancing the interest of the Corporation and its shareholders. All employees, directors and consultants of the Corporation are eligible to participate in the Option Plan. The extent to which any employee, director or consultant shall be entitled to be granted options pursuant to the Option Plan shall be determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise specified by the Board of Directors at the time of granting an option, and except as otherwise provided in the Option Plan, each option granted to an employee, director or consultant shall vest and be exercisable at a rate of 2.77% per month after the date of grant, such that the option will become fully exercisable on the third anniversary of the date of grant, and shall remain exercisable to and including the sixth anniversary of the date of grant.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if an employee's employment or services terminate for any reason, any option granted under the Option Plan held by such employee, which has vested prior to the effective date of termination of employment may, subject to the provisions of a Termination by Reason of Death, Disability or Retirement (as defined below), be exercised within ten business days of such employment or services being terminated. If an employee's employment or services terminate by reason of death, disability or retirement ("Termination by Reason of Death, Disability or Retirement"), any option granted under the Option Plan, held by such employee may thereafter be exercised to the extent exercisable in accordance with the Option Plan, or to such other extent as the Board of Directors may determine for a period of 180 days (or such other period as the Board of Directors may specify) from the date of such death, disability or retirement or until the expiration of the stated term of such option granted under the Option Plan, whichever period is shorter. Termination of a consultant's participation or participating director's engagement with the Corporation, whether or not such termination is by reason of death disability or retirement, will not affect the vesting or exercisability of any option granted under the Option Plan held by such consultant or director.
The exercise price per Common Share purchasable under an option shall be determined by the Board of Directors, provided that the exercise price shall not be less than the Discounted Market Price (as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange set forth in the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual).
The following table sets out certain information regarding the Option Plan as of November 30, 2025:
| Plan Category | Number of Securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (a) | Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights (b) | Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a)) (c) |

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

Of those members, Eli Fathi, Ronald Leslie and Dr. Arunas Slekys are considered by the Corporation to be independent and Leslie Klein is not considered by the Corporation to be independent. Leslie Klein is not considered by the Corporation to be independent due to the fact that he is an officer and material shareholder of the Corporation.

The Board of Directors does not hold regularly scheduled meetings of its independent members at which non-independent directors are not in attendance.

BOARD MANDATE
Management Proxy Circular for
Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders, May 13, 2026
Page 16 of 20
The Board of Directors of the Corporation is responsible for the stewardship of the Corporation. In this regard, the Board of Directors (or the applicable committees of the Board of Directors) has responsibilities relating to: (i) setting and monitoring corporate goals and objectives; (ii) ensuring effective board and committee processes and practices; (iii) monitoring principal risks of the Corporation’s business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks; and (iv) effective communications with shareholders.
In discharging its duties and responsibilities, the Board of Directors may conduct such examinations, investigations or inquiries and engage such special legal, accounting or other advisors at the expense of the Corporation, at such time or times and on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors considers appropriate.
POSITION DESCRIPTIONS
The Board of Directors has not developed written position descriptions for any of the officers of the Corporation. The Board of Directors looks to senior management, led by the Chief Executive Officer, to be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Corporation and for providing the Board of Directors, directly or through the appropriate committees of the Board of Directors, with timely, complete and accurate information on such operations. The Board of Directors expects management to propose and, after Board of Directors approval, implement the Corporation’s strategic plan and to be accountable for the Corporation’s financial and competitive performance.
ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION
Historically the rate of turnover on the Corporation’s Board of Directors has been low and so to date it has been determined that it is an unnecessary use of resources for the Corporation to formally develop an orientation program for new members at this time and the Corporation has not developed or identified a need to develop a continuing education program for its directors at this time. If future circumstances warrant, the Corporation would look to develop such programs.
ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT
The Corporation is committed to conducting business in an ethical manner. To that end, the Board of Directors and management of the Corporation expects all directors, officers, employees and consultants to conduct the business of the Corporation in strict compliance with both the letter and spirit of all applicable laws and in full adherence with the highest standards of business integrity and ethics. The Corporation has no knowledge of any breach of these standards.
NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS
Due to the very low historical turnover rate for directors and the anticipated continuation of such a low turnover rate, it has been determined that it is unnecessary to take active steps to identify new candidates for board nomination at this time.
COMPENSATION
To date the compensation for the directors has been reviewed and determined by the Board of Directors as a whole. The Board of Directors has a policy of compensating directors with stock option grants. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer as described above under Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
Management Proxy Circular for
Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders, May 13, 2026
Management Proxy Circular for
Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders, May 13, 2026
TERM LIMITS AND BOARD RENEWALS
The Company does not have a mandatory age for the retirement of directors and has not adopted term limits for directors as it is focused on building a Board with the skills and expertise necessary to provide strong oversight for the Corporation. The Board does recognize that some turnover is beneficial in order to introduce fresh ideas and perspectives, but this must be balanced against the need for directors with increased insight into the Corporation gained over their years of service on the Board.
On an as needed basis, the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee and/or Board considers the current size and composition of the Board and makes decisions, as necessary, regarding changes to its size and/or composition. On its most recent review of such matters, it was recommended that no changes be made to the size and/or composition of the Board at such time.
ASSESSMENTS
The Board of Directors believes that it and its committees have performed effectively. The Board of Directors has not implemented any formal policy or structure to assess its effectiveness but may do so in the future if it is thought to be in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.
DIVERSITY ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT
The Corporation recognizes and embraces the benefits of having diversity on the Board and in its senior management. The Corporation respects and values, among other things, differences in gender, age, ethnic origin, religion, education, sexual orientation, political belief and disability, and appreciates the benefits arising from Board, management and employee diversity. At the same time, the Corporation also recognizes that Board and senior management appointments must be based on performance, ability and potential. While the Corporation ensures a merit-based competitive process is followed for director and senior management appointments, the Corporation takes diversity considerations into account when identifying, evaluating and recommending director nominees and senior management appointments by monitoring the level of diversity on the Board and in senior management positions and continuing to broaden recruitment efforts to attract and interview diverse candidates when applicable.
The Corporation has not currently adopted a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of: (i) women; (ii) members of visible minorities; (iii) Aboriginal persons; or (iv) persons with disabilities (collectively, the "Designated Groups") on the Board or in senior management positions, as it does not believe that doing so will necessarily result in the identification and selection of the most qualified candidates for these roles.
The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee and/or Board is responsible for assessing the effectiveness of the process for identifying, evaluating and recommending director nominees. Similarly, with respect to senior management appointments, the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee and/or the Board is responsible for assessing the effectiveness of the process for identifying, evaluating and appointing senior management.
As of the date of this Circular, for each of the four Designated Groups, the Corporation has not adopted a target number or percentage, or a range of target numbers or percentages, for the members of the group to hold position on the Board or to be members of senior management by a specific date, as it believes that imposing targets based on specific selection criteria would limit the Corporation's ability to ensure that
the overall composition of the Board and senior management meets the needs of the Corporation and its shareholders.
As of the date of this Circular, the Corporation has a total of four directors and four members of senior management (one of which is also a director of the Corporation). The number and proportion of directors and members of senior management who self-identify as being a member of the four Designated Groups are as follows:
Directors
| Designated Group(1) | Number | Proportion |
|---|---|---|
| Women | Nil | Nil |
| Aboriginal Persons | Nil | Nil |
| Persons with Disabilities | Nil | Nil |
| Members of Visible Minorities | Nil | Nil |
Note:
(1) The number and proportion of directors who self-identify as being a member of the four Designated Groups has been furnished by the respective directors on a voluntary basis and such responses have not been independently verified by the Corporation.
Senior Management
| Designated Group(1) | Number | Proportion |
|---|---|---|
| Women | Nil | Nil |
| Aboriginal Persons | Nil | Nil |
| Persons with Disabilities | Nil | Nil |
| Members of Visible Minorities | Nil | Nil |
Note:
(1) The number and proportion of members of senior management who self-identify as being a member of the four Designated Groups has been furnished by the respective members of senior management on a voluntary basis and such responses have not been independently verified by the Corporation.
DEADLINE FOR SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
If any person entitled to vote an annual meeting of the Corporation's shareholders wishes to propose any matter for consideration at the next annual meeting, in order for such proposal to be considered for inclusion in the materials mailed to shareholders in respect of such meeting, such proposal must be received by the Corporation no later than 90 days before the anniversary date of this Meeting.

Structure, Activities and Supply Chains
Supply chains play a pivotal role in C-COM's operations. The components we purchase are used by our CM's to build our satellite antenna systems.
In 2025, our supply chains were comprised of companies specializing in telecommunications. The main countries where C-COM's suppliers are located is in North America.
In addition, we have determined that some of the products purchased from our suppliers contain components manufactured in other countries – none of them identified by the UN as a high-risk modern day slavery nation.
Operational and reputational risk is managed in an effective and balanced way by the company's senior management team. This includes monitoring risks related to supply chain as well as risks related to ethics, fraud and corruption. All employees across every unit, function and level of the organization have a responsibility to manage risk.
We have exercised reasonable due diligence by implementing supply chain risk monitoring proportionate to the purchases made, most notably by imposing extra conditions, such as a "know your supplier" (KYS) due diligence to ensure they comply with our values, policies and Code of Ethics.

The modern-day Slavery Index was published by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Its 2023 report reveals that the number of people living in modern slavery has grown since 2018 against a backdrop of increasing and more complex conflicts, widespread environmental degradation, climate-induced migration, a global rollback of women's rights, and the economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The latest Global Slavery Index lists these 10 countries with the highest prevalence of modern slavery:
- North Korea
- Eritrea
- Mauritania
- Saudi Arabia
- Türkiye
- Tajikistan
- United Arab Emirates
- Russia
- Afghanistan
- Kuwait
None of C-COM's active suppliers are domiciled in these ten countries.
Policies and due diligence processes in relation to forced labour and child labour.
POLICIES AND PROCESSES IMPLEMENTED
At C-COM, we apply due diligence practices aligned with the risks involved in our activities, our supply chains and our business relationships in a manner conducive to responsible conduct.
Our policies and commitments specifically address human rights, health and safety, diversity and inclusion, the environment and corruption. We embrace a zero-tolerance stance to human rights violations.
Human rights considerations are systematically taken into account in the strategic decisions made at the senior management level. These include decisions related to updates to our internal policies, new product development and employees' work conditions.
From a governance standpoint, a multidisciplinary procurement group has been in operation for many years at C-COM. It meets weekly.

RISK OF FORCED LABOUR OR CHILD LABOUR IN OUR SUPPLY CHAINS AND STEPS TAKEN TO ASSESS AND MANAGE THE RISK
In order to assess the risk of forced labour and child labour in our supply chains, we mapped the risks of our active product suppliers in the jurisdictions where we source products as part of our operations.
The mapping process is based on an external risk analysis carried out through a comparison to the UN's Global Slavery Index. These other factors were taken into consideration:
- Industry-related risks
- Product-related risks
- Country-related risks
- Complexity of the supplier's supply chain
Our risk assessment focused on key suppliers to ensure the scope and scale were proportionate to the potential exposure to the corresponding risks.
This due diligence process undertaken in 2023 did not reveal any known cases of modern-day slavery among our suppliers.
MEASURES TAKEN TO REMEDIATE FORCED LABOUR OR CHILD LABOUR
Based on the mapping of our active suppliers, the identification of our key suppliers and the in-depth analysis to determine whether any of these suppliers present a higher risk of exposure to modern-day slavery, no known incidents or significant risks of modern-day slavery were identified. The issue of remediation is therefore not considered to be applicable.
The management of strategic suppliers is part of the mandate of C-COM's Director of Operations and Customer Service – a 20-year veteran of the company.
Moreover, the fact that we make it a point to maintain close relationships with strategic suppliers who share our values with regard to human rights, ethics, health and safety, and the environment allows us to streamline our projects and meet deadlines.
We will nevertheless remain vigilant in this regard and will continue to rely on our procurement process.
MEASURES TAKEN TO REMEDIATE THE LOSS OF INCOME TO THE MOST VULNERABLE FAMILIES THAT RESULTS FROM MEASURES TAKEN TO ELIMINATE THE USE OF FORCED LABOUR OR CHILD LABOUR
As indicated in the previous section, we concluded, based on our assessment, that there was no loss of income for vulnerable families resulting from measures taken to eliminate the use of forced labour or child labour within our supply chains.
TRAINING PROVIDED TO EMPLOYEES ON FORCED LABOUR AND CHILD LABOUR
At C-COM, we take a zero-tolerance stance on modern-day slavery, human trafficking and undeclared, involuntary, forced labour and child labour. Our Code of Ethics reflects our corporate values and the behaviours we expect of our staff and directors in everything they do in the fulfilment of their duties, especially as it pertains to fundamental rights.
Employees are required to acknowledge our Code of Conduct, which is regularly updated to reflect appropriate policies related to regulatory requirements and ethics.
We also regularly review our policies and training content to ensure they continue to be up-to-date, relevant and effective.
In addition, our senior management team has completed an ethics training course which will feature a section on human rights and our zero-tolerance stance on modern-day slavery.
