SunPower Corporation Supplier Code of Conduct

Last Updated: May 25, 2023

PURPOSE OF THE SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

SunPower Corporation and each of its subsidiaries (collectively "SunPower," "we," "us," or "our") seeks to do business with suppliers that follow ethical and sustainable business practices. While all suppliers are required to comply with applicable domestic and foreign laws and regulations, this Supplier Code of Conduct (the "Code") goes beyond mere compliance with law. SunPower expects suppliers to conduct their business relationships with SunPower using the same standards to which we hold ourselves and our employees. Understanding this, SunPower expects you to adhere to this Code while conducting business with SunPower or for or on behalf of SunPower. When differences arise between SunPower standards (including this Code) and legal requirements, the stricter standard shall apply, in compliance with applicable law.

This Code establishes standards in the following six areas:

Business and Personal Ethics
Respect for Human Rights
Selected Compliance Matters
Health and Safety
Environmental Sustainability
Management Systems

This Code applies to all of SunPower's suppliers. For the purposes of this Code, the terms "supplier" or "you" means any business, firm or individual that provides a product or service to SunPower, or any of our customers or clients for or on behalf of SunPower, whether directly or indirectly. Unless otherwise indicated by the context, the terms "supplier" or "you" also refers to employees, agents and subcontractors of the firm and individuals described in the preceding sentence (i.e., their representatives). This applies to all workers including temporary, migrant, student, contract, direct employees and any other type of worker.

Suppliers are expected to understand and comply with this Code and to educate their representatives to ensure they also understand and comply with this Code. If a supplier knows, or has reason to believe, that a violation by it or its representatives has occurred, then the supplier must promptly inform SunPower. You are expected to self-monitor and enforce compliance with this Code by your representatives and SunPower reserves the right to request the removal of any representative who behaves in a manner that is unlawful or inconsistent with this Code or any other SunPower policy or procedure.

If you or any of your employees knows that a violation of this Code has occurred or an unsafe work practice is in place by their employer, you and your employees are encouraged to report this occurrence to SunPower's Compliance and Ethics Helpline at 1-866-307-5679 in the United States or at https://sunpower.alertline.com.

We monitor your compliance with the Code. This may include onsite audits of you or your subcontractor's, facilities and other operations. As part of these audits, SunPower or its agents may (a) inspect, examine, audit and copy your books and records, files, data and systems, in person and through remote virtual access, (b) interview individuals who may have information relevant to the audit, (c) audit and review your operations, practices, policies, and procedures and (d) inspect your facilities; provided, however, in each case, these audit rights are limited to those things that we reasonably consider related to your compliance with this Code. We may also require similar rights with respect to your suppliers or subcontractors. Monitoring your performance against the Code may also include document requests related to the traceability of raw materials and certifications verifying internal processes and procedures. By doing business with SunPower, you agree to respond to any request in a timely manner and to the best of your abilities. You must keep and maintain accurate books and records necessary to demonstrate compliance with applicable law and this Code and retain these records for the longer of five years following the end of the term of your agreement with SunPower or as required by applicable law.

SunPower will consider compliance with the Code in its procurement decisions. Any violations of this Code or applicable law may jeopardize your business relationship with SunPower, up to and including termination. In doing business with SunPower, you agree that SunPower may terminate any purchase order or supply agreement with you for breaches of this Code without further liability to SunPower.

BUSINESS AND PERSONAL ETHICS
1. Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
  We expect you to practice the highest standards of integrity in all business interactions with or on behalf of SunPower. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of bribery, corruption, extortion and embezzlement. Bribes, kickbacks or other means of obtaining undue or improper advantage are not to be promised, offered, authorized or given to any company or employee or on our behalf. This prohibition covers promising, offering, authorizing or giving anything of value, either directly or indirectly through a third party, in order to obtain or retain business, direct business to any person, or otherwise gain an improper advantage. You must implement monitoring, record keeping, and enforcement procedures to ensure compliance with anti-corruption laws. Should an event ever occur, you must be honest, direct and truthful in discussions with regulatory agencies and any government professionals.
  Suppliers shall immediately notify SunPower of any request that you receive to take any action that might constitute, or be construed as, a violation of anti-corruption laws. Suppliers agree that SunPower is authorized to take all appropriate actions that we reasonably deem are necessary to avoid a violation of anti-corruption laws.

This includes situations where you may have, or appear to have, an indirect conflict, such as a significant other or other persons or entities with which you have a relationship.

Suppliers and their representatives (including their respective household members) are also prohibited from buying or selling securities of other companies if Insider Information about such companies is obtained in the course of performing services to SunPower. In certain circumstances, you and your representatives may be prohibited from trading SunPower securities during a specified period of time (a "trading blackout") upon direction of SunPower's Chief Legal Officer, and may not disclose to others the fact that you have been suspended from trading. Suppliers are also prohibited from engaging in the following transactions while providing services to SunPower: purchase of SunPower securities on margin, short sales of SunPower securities, and buying or selling puts or calls on SunPower securities. Suppliers may seek guidance from the SunPower legal department if you have any questions about any particular transaction.

Neither SunPower nor Supplier shall be obliged to perform any obligation if it would not be compliant with, in violation of, inconsistent with, or expose you or us to punitive measures under any applicable laws or regulations relating to export control or economic sanctions. In the event a party cannot perform an obligation, it must give written notice as soon as reasonably practicable to the other party of its inability to perform. Once notice has been given the party may either suspend the performance of the affected obligation until it may lawfully be discharged or terminate the agreement if unable to lawfully do so.
