ATTACHMENT B
TUPPERWARE BRANDS’ BUSINESS PARTNERS CODE OF CONDUCT (BPCOC)

Tupperware Brands believes that good business includes high standards of ethics and fairness,
and we believe we have a reputation for both. We know that a company’s reputation is affected
by the business partners they work with. For this reason we seek out business partners who
share our standards and we do not do business with those who do not.

We wish to be clear about our standards and list them below. Each of these standards may be
superseded to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or regulation, in the
Company’s sole determination.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

We expect our business partners to comply with their local law. This includes laws on
employment, health and safety, discrimination, environment, trade practices, intellec-
tual property, financial reporting, and bribery. If you are formally charged with vio-
lating a law, we want to be informed promptly, and in writing. If you are found guilty of
violating a law, we want to be informed promptly, and in writing.

In addition to local laws on bribery, we also expect our business partners to comply with
US and EU laws on bribery. Business partners should be aware of the US Foreign Cor-
rupt Practices Act and the OECD convention in the EU. These laws prohibit bribes,
kickbacks, or compensation paid to government officials, government employ-
ees, or political parties. You must notify us immediately in writing if any payments or
gifts of this nature, or any facilitating payments, are made on behalf of Tupperware
Brands.

Tupperware Brands strongly believes you should not have to pay bribes to get or keep
our business. Our employees are prohibited from asking for, or taking, payments, ser-
vices, loans, favors or gifts above nominal value from a business partner. If you are
asked to do this, please inform us immediately (US and Canada call toll free 877-217-
6220, all other countries call collect +1-770-582-5215).

Please note that our employees are under a similar obligation to report any offers of
payment from business partners.

In case the BPCOC should be violated Tupperware should be indemnified


against any losses, claims, liabilities, demands caused by this violation, Moreover Tup-
perware will be entitled to terminate the business relationship and any contracts or
agreements with immediate effect
