ETHICS
Anti-Corruption
Vendors must ensure that their employees, agents, subcontractors, and affiliates comply with all
applicable bribery and anti-corruption laws, including but not limited to the United Nations Convention
against Corruption (UNCAC), the UK Bribery Act and the German Act on Combatting Corruption. To that
end, Vendors must not promise, offer, or accept bribes, kickbacks, or other improper or unlawful
payments or engage third parties to facilitate such conduct when conducting business with Miramundo.
Examples include cash, cash equivalents, gifts, services, or other inducements intended to secure an
improper business advantage. This requirement applies in all circumstances, but especially with respect
to dealings involving government officials, political candidates, or other public figures or entities.

purchase order number (if applicable), be supported by appropriate documentation, and comply with all
legal requirements.
Tax Evasion
Miramundo does not tolerate tax evasion or the facilitation of tax evasion. Suppliers are required to have
policies and procedures in place to prevent their company and any associated companies or persons
from committing or facilitating tax evasion.

Anti-Counterfeiting
Miramundo strives to ensure that all of its products and the products listed by Vendors on the Going 0

products, parts, or materials. Vendors must also respond to requests for information regarding the
source of any products, parts, or materials.
Antiboycott Regulations
Vendors must comply with EU anti-boycott legislation and applicable national legislation when

discriminate on such grounds when conducting business with or on behalf of Miramundo.

Vendors agree to treat animals humanely, where applicable. This may relate to affiliates offering
experiences with animals. Suppliers must confirm that they are not using animal testing in the
production of their products
