Supplier Ethics

Ethical principles

Our COBC and Human Rights Statement guide how we conduct business with the highest levels of integrity and in compliance with the law. We expect suppliers to conduct business in the same manner.

We expect anyone working with Halliburton to follow the same guidance:

• Avoid even the appearance of unethical or compromising business practices
• Avoid any agreements that restrain competition
• Avoid any agreements that restrain resale or pricing on resale
• Refuse money, cash equivalents, gifts of more than nominal value, excessive hospitality, loans, or other special treatment from present or prospective suppliers that might influence, or appear to influence, business or purchasing decisions
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries in which they operate

Conflict-free sourcing

Halliburton and its flagship Conflict-Free Smelter Program support responsible sourcing and strive to ensure that purchased products do not contain minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups, including in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country.

Halliburton suppliers are required to:

• Supply conflict-free materials
• Furnish information on sources of supply
• Perform due diligence on sources of materials to ensure for products provided to Halliburton are conflict-free

These requirements support our commitment to the Responsible Minerals Initiative and our compliance with Section 1502 of the United States Dodd-Frank Act.

Human rights

Halliburton and its board of directors support universal human rights as defined by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Our customers, suppliers, and employees represent virtually every race, national origin, religion, culture, political philosophy, and language. Diversity is the foundation of our business excellence and embodies Halliburton’s respect for human rights and dignity of all people. Halliburton is committed to protecting and upholding human rights.

Halliburton suppliers are expected to:

• Treat their employees and contractors with dignity and respect
• Maintain policies and procedures to safeguard against key human rights issues, including discrimination, child labor, and forced labor
• Provide safe working conditions, reasonable working hours, and just remuneration
• Respect freedom of peaceful assembly and association

Anyone with concerns about potential violations of our COBC is encouraged to make a report through our Ethics Helpline, which allows for anonymous reports.
