Yuno workers must report, without delay, any suspicious behaviour or knowledge of bribery or
corruption to Management, or where any member of the Management is suspected to be involved, to
the Board. Yuno workers should also report the matter to local law enforcement should the

workers reporting any such matters are encouraged to maintain confidentiality and anonymity where
possible.
