6. Bribery and Corruption

Anti-Corruption Laws Generally

Anti-corruption laws generally prohibit attempts to gain an improper advantage in the course of business through the offering payments or other benefits to Public Officials, or to employees or representatives of private counterparties, in order to influence their decision-making. Most jurisdictions, including Canada, treat such improper attempts to influence Public Officials (domestic or foreign) as a serious criminal offence, for which large penalties (including lengthy prison sentences) are imposed. Many such jurisdictions, including Canada, also make it a criminal offence to offer or provide money or other benefits to representatives of private sector enterprises, in order to improperly influence such representatives in the course of acting for their employer or principal.

Paying or Offering Bribes or Kickbacks

Employees shall not promise, offer or pay, or authorize any payment or offering of a Bribe or a Kickback to any person. This strict prohibition captures any direct or indirect payments or benefits (such as through business associates or family members), and includes the use of sub-contracts, purchase orders or consulting agreements to channel payments or benefits to the ultimate It also entails the giving of offering of excessive gifts, entertainment or travel in violation of the limits and restrictions set out in this Policy.
Employees acting on Fleet Complete’s behalf must exercise particular caution, vigilance and good judgment when interacting with any Public Officials or their family members, or with business associates of Public Officials (including companies affiliated with or owned by such persons). Employees should be mindful of avoiding even the appearance of impropriety in such circumstances, including by seeking to utilize personal or family relationships to attempt to influence decisions or the exercise of discretion by Public If in any doubt about whether a certain type of dealing with a Public Official is permissible, Employees must consult with their immediate supervisor or a member of the Ethics Committee.
Paying, or offering to pay, any Facilitation Payments is a form of Bribe and is strictly prohibited under this Policy. While certain types of Facilitation Payments may be permitted under some anti-corruption laws, they are prohibited by other laws applicable to Fleet Complete, including but not limited to Canadian law and are therefore not permitted by Fleet Complete
Any demand or proposal for any Bribe or Kickback that comes to the attention of Fleet Complete Employees must be immediately reported to Fleet Complete’s Ethics Committee in accordance with this Policy (see section 18 below).

Requesting or Accepting Bribes or Kickbacks

Employees shall not solicit, request or accept a Bribe or Kickback from any customer or other contracting
Any offers of Bribes or Kickbacks made to Employees must be promptly reported to the Ethics Committee in accordance with this Policy (see Section 17, “Reporting”, below).

7. Gifts and Entertainment

Employees shall not provide or receive business courtesies such as gifts and entertainment to any third parties with whom Fleet Complete does, or intends to do, business unless each of the following requirements is satisfied:

it is given or incurred in good faith, for a legitimate business purpose, and with no intention of obtaining, retaining or directing business or otherwise securing an improper business advantage for Fleet Complete;
it is be given in an open and transparent manner and must not violate local law, including but not limited to, internal government policies or codes of conduct applicable to any Public Officials;
it is of modest value and in any event does not exceed a value of US$100 per person, unless the written approval of the General Counsel of Fleet Complete has first been obtained; and
gifts in the form of cash or cash equivalents (such as gift certificates, gift cards or vouchers), are

In addition to the above, Employees are expected to consider the circumstances of the gift or entertainment, including: the position or role of the person receiving it; the business context in which it is given, including its timing relative to key decisions by the recipient (including contracting decisions); and the frequency with which business courtesies are being provided to the recipient or their colleagues.
When considering offering or providing a gift or entertainment to a Public Official, in addition to complying with the above requirements, Employees must first obtain written approval from the Ethics In the event such approval is given, Employees must also accurately record the value of the gift or entertainment, as well as its specific purpose and the identity of the Public Official(s) receiving it. The Ethics Committee may attach such conditions to any approvals it sees fit, including as regards the manner and process by which the gift or entertainment is communicated to the government entity that employs the official(s) receiving the gift or entertainment.

8. Travel Expenses

Common sense and moderation must be exercised in relation to the payment or reimbursement of travel and lodging expenses in connection with the business of Fleet Complete. Fleet Complete will only reimburse travel or lodging if the travel is directly related to the promotion, demonstration, explanation or delivery of services or products or the execution or performance of a Fleet Complete contract.
In addition to the above requirements, Fleet Complete will only pay travel and lodging expenses incurred by or on behalf of a Public Official, in the following circumstances:
1. there is a clear, justifiable business reason for such expenses;
2. the expenses are reasonable and incurred in good faith, and are permitted under the laws of the country of the Public Official including any applicable policy similar ethical rules;
3. the expenses are supported by appropriate documentation (including receipts, booking confirmations), and are accurately recorded in accordance with Section 11 of this Policy, such that they reflect the business purpose of the payment, the identity of those receiving the benefits of the payment (including the names and positions of attendees), and the amounts involved; and
4. the payment is made transparently, and is communicated in writing to the government or entity for whom the Public Official is performing duties, unless such official communication is not practicable, and the absence of such official communication has been authorized in writing by the Ethics Committee.
Whenever possible, travel and lodging payments should be made directly by the Company to the provider of the service, and should not be paid as a reimbursement. Any requests for reimbursement of travel or lodging expenses incurred directly by an official should include a written explanation as to why it was not possible to pay the relevant service provider(s) directly.
It is generally not appropriate or permissible to pay or reimburse travel expenses of family members of Foreign Public However, such expenses may be paid or reimbursed in exceptional circumstances with the prior written approval of Fleet Complete’s Ethics Committee, which shall only be given in exceptional circumstances, and only where the Ethics Committee is satisfied that the expense does not violate any applicable laws.
Any travel or lodging expenses of Public Officials totaling over $250 per person, or such other amount designated from time to time must be approved in advance and in writing by the Ethics Committee.
Fleet Complete will not reimburse travel or lodging incurred by Employees or third parties in violation of the terms of this Policy.

9. Political and Charitable Donations

In certain circumstances, political and charitable donations may construe as an attempt to secure an improper business advantage, or as an improper attempt to influence a political cause or In particular, the legitimacy of a political or charitable donation may be in doubt where:
1. it appears to be closely connected to a particular business relationship;
2. the amount suggests an attempt to directly or indirectly influence a political cause, party or candidate in exchange for business with Fleet Complete;
3. it is made at the request or on behalf of a Public Official;
4. it is made to an individual or entity – even if a bona fide charitable entity – with whom a Public Official is directly or indirectly associated.
In light of this, no political or charitable donation shall be made on behalf of Fleet Complete, and no Employee or Intermediary shall be reimbursed for a political or charitable donation, without the written approval of the Ethics The Ethics Committee shall not provide such approval unless they are satisfied that the donation does not violate applicable laws, including all applicable campaign finance, lobbying and election laws.

10. Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing

Anti-money Laundering/Terrorist Financing Laws Generally

Money Laundering typically involves an attempt to conceal or obscure illegitimate origins of certain funds or property by passing it through one or more layers of commercial transactions. Money laundering laws target attempts to deal with the proceeds of serious illegal conduct, including corruption, embezzlement, fraud, and drug or human trafficking.
Anti-Terrorist Financing laws are generally concerned with preventing the flow of funds or other economic support to or in support of terrorist organizations.
In a commercial context, the risk of violating anti-money laundering/terrorist financing laws may be greatest where Employees engage with counterparties from a High-Risk Country, especially those associated with significant levels of government corruption, drug or human trafficking or terrorist However criminal or terrorist organizations also operate through, or with the assistance of, “front-companies/entities” which are designed to appear legitimate and which operate in jurisdictions otherwise perceived as low-risk.
Under no circumstances shall Employees knowingly participate in any fashion in any money laundering or terrorist financing activity or transactions. In addition, all Employees must be vigilant in conducting or complying with due diligence procedures implemented by Fleet Complete, including those described in Section 13 of this Policy.
Employees must also report any reasonable suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing developed or gleaned in the course of performing their duties for Fleet Any such suspicions must be reported in accordance with the provisions set out in Section 17 of this Policy.

11. Economic Sanctions

Economic Sanctions Laws Generally

Economic sanctions laws generally prohibit or restrict economic activity with certain targeted countries, entities, organizations or individuals, often in relation to specified goods, services or The penalties for violating economic sanctions can be severe.
Relevant government departments or agencies, including the Department of Global Affairs in Canada and OFAC in the S., maintain lists of foreign designated countries, groups and individuals with whom some or all types of economic activity is prohibited. These lists are subject to sudden change, sometimes with little advance notice. Accordingly, it is critical that Employees apply the due diligence measures, including screening protocols, implemented by Fleet Complete as described in Section 13 below.
Global Affairs Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency enforce a variety of different types of sanctions under the Special Economic Measures Act, the United Nations Act, the Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act and the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act, as follows:

Asset Freezes: prohibit doing business with, directly or indirectly, persons or entities identified as Designated
Export and Import Restrictions: prohibit trade with a targeted country, either comprehensively or in specific sectors of the economy.
Financial Prohibitions: prohibit persons in Canada and Canadians outside Canada from conducting financial transactions, directly or indirectly, with persons and entities listed in the applicable regulations.
Arms Embargoes: prohibit trade in “arms and related materials” and provision of related technical assistance to countries that are subject to sanction.

As of the date of this policy, Canada imposes sanctions of varying severity against the following countries and regions:

Comprehensive Embargoes: North Korea, Crimean Region of the Ukraine
Targeted Embargoes and Asset Freezes: Iran, Syria, Russia, Ukraine, Libya, Eritrea, Yemen, South Sudan, Sudan, Venezuela. Zimbabwe, Somalia, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Iraq, Mali, Myanmar, Tunisia.
- Canadian sanctions laws apply to individuals and companies in Canada and Canadians outside Canada. In other words, Fleet Complete’s activities, including through subsidiaries and Intermediaries outside Canada are subject to Canadian sanction law.
- The penalties for violating Canadian sanctions include significant financial penalties for entities and potential imprisonment for individuals. The reputational and other business risks associated with non-compliance can also be severe, and can potentially result in even greater damage to ADA’s business.
- Fleet Complete must also comply with the sanctions regimes of other countries or regions where we do business, including but not limited to the sanctions regimes administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC)) and by the Council of the European Union. Under this Policy, Fleet Complete may implement region-specific compliance measures as appropriate.

Anti-Circumvention and Due Diligence

Sanctions regimes typically prohibit facilitation, indirect trade, or other attempts to avoid or attempt to avoid the application of sanctions. This includes situations where a party is willfully blind (i.e. chooses not to ask/know) as to the ultimate destination or end-user of its goods, services or technology.
It is strictly prohibited for an Employee, Contractor or Intermediary to avoid or attempt to avoid economic sanctions obligations, including by carrying out Transactions through third parties or third countries.
Consistent with the expectations of regulators and law enforcement agencies, Fleet Complete carries out reasonable, risk-based due diligence about our customers, agents, distributors, Intermediaries and business partners, and requires those parties to participate in and cooperate with or sanctions compliance as a condition of doing business with Fleet Complete. These due diligence procedures are set out in Section 13

Prohibition of all transactions involving certain jurisdictions

Unless approved in advance – in writing – by the General Counsel, all Transactions involving, directly or indirectly, any party located in Iran, North Korea, Syria and the Crimean region of the Ukraine are

Prohibition of all Transactions involving Designated Persons

Unless approved in advance – in writing – by the General Counsel, all Transactions involving, directly or indirectly, any Designated Person or any entity owned or controlled by a Designated Person are prohibited.

12. Accounting, Books and Records

Fleet Complete must maintain a system of internal accounting controls and shall make and keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect Transactions, including but not limited to those with Public Officials.
All financial Transactions must be properly and fairly recorded in such books of account with sufficient detail so that knowledgeable third parties can understand the Transaction. Employees shall not under any circumstances:

keep any accounts or transactions “off-book” to facilitate or conceal Improper Payments, or for any other reason;
establish any undisclosed or unrecorded Fleet Complete funds or assets;
make inflated or artificial entries in Fleet Complete’s books and records or engaging in any arrangement that results in such entries;

falsify or improperly amend or alter any record or document relating to a transaction, including but not limited to, adding false or misleading information, or to omit accurate information, in order to obscure the nature, origin or destination of goods, or the parties involved.

Fleet Complete shall also maintain records of due diligence procedures carried out under Section 13 of this Policy, which show the steps taken and results obtained from those procedures.

13. Due Diligence and Engagement of Intermediaries

Fleet Complete is committed to conducting thorough and appropriate risk-based due diligence throughout the lifecycle of any business relationships with third parties, as a critical part of ensuring compliance with applicable anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws.
Prior written approval must be received from the General Counsel or the Chief Financial Officer before entering into any business relationship an No business relationship may be entered into unless:

appropriate due diligence has been undertaken on the intermediary, as set out below;

the terms of the business relationship are recorded in a formal written agreement, which shall refer to the items set out

Due Diligence Procedures

The process and extent of due diligence to be performed in respect of an Intermediary depends on the circumstances, and will be determined by the General Counsel. However, in all cases, the due diligence shall include the following:

Screening of Intermediaries during the onboarding process (and periodically thereafter) via Fleet Complete’s authorized third-party screening tool (which at the date of this Policy, is Risk Rate® by NAVEX Global), in order to identify politically exposed persons and other corruption-related “red flags” as well as anti-money laundering and economic sanctions-related concerns;
Measures to confirm:
1. the identity of all directors and officers of the Intermediary;
2. that the qualifications of the Intermediary are consistent with the business purpose for which they are to be retained;

that the financial arrangements with the Intermediary are reasonable and proportionate having regard to the services to be provided;

In the case of Intermediaries located in, or otherwise representing Fleet Complete’s business in, a Higher Risk Jurisdiction, additional due diligence measures shall be carried out as determined by Fleet Complete’s General Counsel, including:

Enquiries regarding the Intermediary’s character, reputation and history of conducting business, including by obtaining references from reputable sources such as an embassy or High Commission or trade attaché, or from another reputable and well-established business operating in the applicable jurisdiction;
the identity of all direct or indirect beneficial owners of the Intermediary (unless such Intermediary is publicly–listed on a reputable stock exchange);
where the General Counsel deems appropriate, additional intelligence may be obtained including through a third-party service provider retained under the direction of the General Counsel or in consultation with external counsel.

The General Counsel or his/her designee shall ensure a clear written record is maintained of the due diligence steps taken in accordance with the requirements set out above (as well as the outcomes or results of such steps).

Written Agreement

All agreements with Intermediaries must be in writing and approved by Fleet Complete’s General Counsel, and shall include the following:
1. an accurate description of the services to be
2. the amount of the fee payable for the services, including the basis on which such fee is to be calculated and paid.
3. provisions relating to compliance with the subject matter of this Policy and all Applicable Business Integrity Laws, in a form approved by the General Counsel, the Chief Financial Officer or the Ethics

Intermediary List

The Ethics Committee shall maintain a list of all Intermediaries engaged by Fleet Complete. However, it is the responsibility of the finance leader in each region to advise the General Counsel of any material changes to the status or role of an Intermediaries operating in or with respect to the countries for which they have
Upon implementation of this Policy, the Ethics Committee will expeditiously conduct a review of all existing relationships with Intermediaries to ensure they undergo appropriate due diligence procedures, and to take reasonable steps to ensure they are engaged under written agreements (including the standard provisions described above) as soon as practicable.

Payments to Intermediaries

Payments to Intermediaries must never be made in
If made by wire transfer, payment must be made to a bank account in the name of the Intermediary and in the country where the services are performed, unless there are acceptable and documented reasons and the prior written approval of the General Counsel is obtained.
Any cheque must be made in the name of the Intermediary and not to any third

Monitoring and Audit

The Ethics Committee shall oversee the implementation of procedures to ensure the performance of Intermediaries are appropriately monitored. Such measures may include the selection of certain Intermediary relationships for periodic audit.

Contractors and Employees

In addition to conducting due diligence on all potential Intermediaries, the Ethics Committee shall oversee the application of risk-based procedures regarding the due diligence to be conducted in relation to Employees and Contractors. Such procedures may include subjecting candidates to screening prior to onboarding, including through the use of Fleet Complete’s third party screening tool. Particular care and scrutiny must be exercised in relation to the hiring of Contractors and Employees in Higher Risk
For the avoidance of doubt, hiring or engaging an Employee or Contractor who is associated in any way, even tangentially, with a Foreign Official raises corruption As such, prior written approval from the Ethics Committee is required before hiring or engaging any person or entity associated with a Foreign Official in any way, including by virtue of connections to family members or close associates of a Foreign Official, or who is recommended by a Foreign Official.

Customers in Higher Risk Jurisdictions

As explained in Section 11 above, Economic Sanctions restrict Transactions with any Designated Persons, and accordingly Fleet Complete Employees must be vigilant in identifying and reporting warning signs or red flags in any Transactions with customers or end-users of Fleet Complete’s products and services.
In addition to exercising vigilance in relation to all Transactions, all direct customers and end-users in Higher Risk Jurisdictions must be screened using authorized third-party screening tool) at the time of onboarding, the results of which must be updated at least Any risks or compliance concerns arising from such screening must be promptly notified to the Ethics Committee, who will provide guidance and instruction on how to proceed.

14. Joint Ventures, Mergers and Acquisitions

14.1 Risks under Business Integrity Laws can arise in the context of joint ventures, public/private-sector partnerships, and in the context of mergers and acquisitions. Employees must consult with the Ethics Committee at the earliest stage of exploring or progressing these types of activities to ensure that appropriate due diligence, transactional safeguards and other measures are undertaken to mitigate risks under applicable Business Integrity Laws.

15. New Territories

Fleet Complete’s business model entails the expansion into new territories from time to time. However, it is important that the risks associated with new territories are understood and addressed in a timely fashion. As such, prior to entering a new territory, the Ethics Committee shall conduct an assessment of the risks associated with the new territory under applicable Business Integrity Such assessment shall include, at a minimum, confirming:
1. whether the new territory should be designated a Higher Risk Jurisdiction;
2. whether the country, or individuals or entities within in it, are the target of any applicable Economic Sanctions laws;
The Ethics Committee may direct or oversee the conducting of such due diligence measures as it considers necessary to understand the nature and severity of risks associated with a new territory. Such further due diligence may include the engagement of external advisors where the Ethics Committee deems appropriate, which to the extent possible should be performed under the direction of the General Counsel.
The Ethics Committee shall document the results of the new territory risk assessment in writing, including key recommendations as to additional controls or measures required to mitigate any identified risks.

16. Training

16.1 Fleet Complete requires training for all Employees. The Human Resources Department will facilitate relevant and ongoing training for Employees on this Policy. The General Counsel may, having regard to the level of risk presented, also require certain Intermediaries to participate in similar or bespoke training.

17. Reporting

Violations or suspected violations of this Policy must be promptly reported:
1. to the Ethics Committee at Committee@fleetcomplete.com or;
2. through Fleet Complete’s secure and confidential reporting hotline with NAVEX Global, in accordance with Fleet Complete’s Whistleblowing Policy.
Once a report has been made, the Reporting Employee should not disclose the fact that they have made such a report to anyone else, unless directed or authorized by the General Counsel and the Ethics Committee. This is because, under certain applicable anti-money laundering/terrorist financing laws, the disclosure of the fact that a report of suspicious activity has been has been made to a relevant authority can itself amount to an offence (known as “tipping off”).
No retaliatory action will be taken or permitted against any person making a good faith report regarding a potential violation this Retaliatory action by Employees will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or contract.

Appendix A

TRANSACTION “RED FLAGS” LIST

Identifying the risk of violations of Business Integrity Laws in any given Transaction is often difficult. The risks can vary depending on the nature, scope, locations and parties involved in a Transaction, as well as market practices and customs. We refer to indicators of heightened risk as “red flags,” and Employees are required to record and report red flags in accordance with the Business Integrity Policy whether they arise prior to, during or following a Transaction.

A list of some typical red flags follows, but Employees are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any circumstance that gives them a sense of unease as to the propriety of circumstance surrounding a Transaction. For the purposes of the list below, a “Counterparty” includes, but is not limited to a customer, Intermediary or Contractor (as defined in the Business Integrity Policy).

An Intermediary or Contractor is reluctant to provide standard information about the identity of its management, shareholders or beneficiaries, or about end-users when requested to do so for compliance purposes;
An Intermediary or Contractor is or appears to be affiliated or associated with a Designated Person or Public Official;
A Counterparty has been recently established, has significant financial resources at its disposal and it is unclear how it came into possession of these financial resources;
An Intermediary or Contractor lacks appropriate facilities or qualified staff, or appears to be in significant financial difficulty.
An Intermediary’s is operating through or using an offshore jurisdiction that is not the jurisdiction in which they are providing the services for which they have been, or are to be, engaged;
The goods or services that a Counterparty seeks to purchase or resell are not in line with Fleet Complete’s knowledge of the third party’s activities or place of operations;
A Counterparty requests unusual shipment or delivery terms, or it is unclear whether re-shipment will take place and where; packing requirements do not make sense (e.g. seaworthy packing for delivery within Europe);
The payment terms or method of payment are unusual (e.g. cash or crypto-currency, or involve complex flows of funds without clear commercial justification)
The third party is offering to pay prices well over normal market value for the goods or services concerned;
