Labor and Human Rights Policy

---

Four E's Industrial Group applies this policy across its operating companies, including Four E's Scientific (laboratory instruments and life science tools) and Four E's Automotive (automotive products), at every site it owns or operates, including our manufacturing operations in China and Vietnam. It also sets the standard we require of our suppliers and of any labor or recruitment agency they use.

The policy covers the people who make our products. It states the labor and human rights standards we hold ourselves to, what we expect from our suppliers, and how we check that both are met.

Across all Group operations, we commit to the following:

• We do not use forced, bonded, indentured, trafficked, or prison labor. We do not retain workers' identity documents or require deposits, and every worker is free to end their employment on reasonable notice.
• We do not employ anyone below the legal minimum working age in the country of employment, or below 15 where that is higher. No worker under 18 performs hazardous work, and we verify age before hiring.
• Working hours and overtime comply with the law of the country of employment. Overtime is voluntary, and every worker is entitled to at least one day off in each seven-day period.
• We pay at least the legal minimum wage and the legal rate for overtime, pay on time, and do not make unlawful deductions. Workers receive clear information about their pay.
• We respect workers' lawful right to join, or not join, a workers' organization and to bargain collectively, without fear of reprisal.
• We do not discriminate in hiring, pay, training, promotion, or termination on the basis of characteristics protected by law.
• We prohibit harassment, physical or verbal abuse, corporal punishment, and threats, and we treat every worker with dignity.
• We provide a safe and healthy workplace, in line with our Environmental, Health, and Safety Policy.

These standards reflect the core conventions of the International Labour Organization, including those on forced labor, child labor, freedom of association, and non-discrimination, and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Where our own standard and local law differ, we apply whichever gives workers the greater protection.

We require our suppliers, and any labor or recruitment agency they use, to:

• meet the standards in this policy and apply them in their own operations;
• comply with the labor and employment law of the countries where they operate;
• allow us, our customers, or an independent auditor to verify their labor practices through site visits and records review; and
• correct any shortfall within an agreed time, and pass these requirements on to their own suppliers.
• 
  

We monitor our own compliance through internal review, and we are willing to undergo recognized third-party social and ethical compliance audits, such as SMETA, as part of customer supplier-qualification. We address any findings through a documented corrective-action process, and we share audit results with customers where we have agreed to do so.

Any worker, supplier, customer, or member of the public who believes this policy has been breached can report in confidence, and we do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

This policy is approved by the management of Four E's Industrial Group and applies to all Group operating companies. We review it at least once a year and update it to reflect changes in law and in our operations.

Approved by the management of Four E's Industrial Group.
