31 CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT At PFG we believe that ethical business is an essential part of our success. As such, we have developed a Code of Business Conduct that ensures our high standards for ethical behavior being met by all our associates, officers and directors. The Code addresses expected behavior with fellow associates, shareholders, suppliers and the customers and communities we serve, and commits PFG to operate honestly, ethically and in good faith. It ensures that PFG and its stakeholder are compliant with all laws, rules and regulations and sets forth our policies and expectations on topics including conflicts of interest, confidentiality, anti-bribery, business conduct, insider trading, safety, non- discrimination and unlawful harassment. Moreover, the Code provides an anonymous hotline and multiple channels for reporting violations to the Code and employs an anti-retaliation policy to protect all who in good faith come forward with a report or complaint. All associates receive training on the Code of Business Conduct and Anti-Corruption policy every year. In addition, PFG also requires all exempt associates to review and acknowledge the Code of Business Conduct and the Anti-Corruption Policy, in full. Non-exempt employees are required to review and acknowledge the key concepts of both policies as well. The review and acknowledgment of the Code and Policy by all associates occurs annually. PFG aims to cultivate transparent, fair and ethical relationships with suppliers and prioritizes working with those that share our commitment to conduct business responsibly, sustainably and in alignment with our ESG goals. In this spirit, PFG maintains a Supplier Code of Conduct that defines the conduct expectations we have for our supply chain partners. We understand that for PFG to be successful in our ESG efforts, we need to work with our supply chain and manage the impact our vendors have on key topics. The Code addresses these material issues, which include conflict of interest, anti-bribery, corruption, money laundering and international legal compliance, human rights and workforce standards, health, safety and the environment and food safety. Our Supplier Code of Conduct also highlights PFG’s right to audit compliance and verify ESG business performance by vendors we work with and articulates our right to terminate our relationship with vendors who violate the provisions of this Code. As part of our commitment, we have established the goal to conduct an ESG Supplier Survey with 95% of suppliers of PFG branded products by 2022 in alignment with the Supplier Code of Conduct . In fiscal 2021, we rolled out our first ESG Supplier Survey and are committed to leveraging this engagement tool to ensure alignment with our Code and to identify and strengthen strategic partnerships that are consistent with our long-term aspirations.
