Application to Sub-Contractors:

This Code applies to any sub-contractor(s) to or agent(s) of the supplier, providing goods or services to the supplier. The Supplier Code of Conduct shall be cascaded down to all sub-tier subcontractors. The supplier is fully responsible for ensuring compliance by any such sub-contractor(s) as if it were the supplier itself.

Compliance Monitoring:

The supplier will allow Bray and/or any of its representatives or agents access to its facilities and all relevant records associated with the products and services provided to Bray. The supplier and Bray will establish a mutually agreeable date and time for access. However, risks to Bray's business may require immediate access to the products, services and associated records and supplier will accommodate Bray's access as required. Supplier also agrees to cooperate with Bray to investigate any allegations of wrongdoing, misconduct or corruption and ensure compliance at any sub-tier suppliers.

Event of Violation:

It is essential that a supplier's employees are made aware of the contents of the Bray Supplier Code of Conduct and the expectations for work and business behavior. A current version is available at Bray.com/partnership. The supplier is asked to report any incidents of any type of unethical behavior to Bray. If a supplier has knowledge of any type of unethical behavior and fails to report it to Bray, it will be viewed as being in non-compliance with the Bray Supplier Code of Conduct.

The supplier is asked to report any incidents of any type of unethical behavior to Bray, at Ethics@Bray.com
