Introduction The Ansaldo STS Group requires the members of its governance and control bodies, its executives, employees, including those of directly or indirectly owned group companies, and all those who entertain contractual relationships that permit Ansaldo STS to require compliance (the “Recipients”) to act with integrity and with respect for the laws and regulations in their respective jurisdictions. Ansaldo STS adopts and disseminates this Code of Ethics, requiring all Recipients to comply. The Code of Ethics is a component of the internal control system, which is designed to ensure compliance with rules that require Ansaldo STS and companies of the Group to adopt management systems capable of preventing the commission of certain acts or offences by corporate representatives proscribed by the laws and regulations of the various jurisdictions in which the Ansaldo STS Group operates. Ansaldo STS is a multinational industrial group, is listed on the Italian stock exchange, and is a leader in the railway and underground transportation sector, known for its technological excellence and innovation. The Ansaldo STS Group founds its activity on ethical values, compliance with which is the basis of its reputation, is critical to the achievement of corporate goals and success in the market and influences the relationships with any parties with an interest in Ansaldo STS (the so called “stakeholders”). This Code of Ethics, therefore, expresses the commitments and ethical responsibilities to be observed by the members of the governance and control bodies, executives, employees, the corporate representatives of directly or indirectly controlled companies, as well as by workers with which the Company maintains contractual relationships of any kind, including occasional and/or temporary ones, and by those with whom Ansaldo STS Group entertains contractual relationships that permit Ansaldo STS to require compliance. These “Recipients” of the Code of Ethics, in pursuit of their objectives, are expected to act with integrity and with respect for applicable laws and regulations. They take responsibility for any violation of the Code of Ethics, both towards the Company and outside, even if such violation does not result in any third party liability for the Company. The Recipients are required to know and are expected to observe the Code of Ethics in the interest of transparency and reputation of the Group. Recipients are also required to enforce these ethical principles within the scope of their responsibilities and functions. Ansaldo STS through its directors, executives and employees undertakes to adopt and update the Code of Ethics and to make it known to all those with whom the Company has business relations. The Code of Ethics as a management tool is a component of the internal control system. It therefore affirms the principles and rules of conduct, respect for which is intended to ensure compliance with rules that require Ansaldo STS and companies of the Group to adopt management systems designed to prevent the commission of certain acts or offences by corporate representatives proscribed by the laws and regulations of the various jurisdictions in which the Ansaldo STS Group operates. As an example, in Italy reference is made to the set of rules of Legislative Decree 231/2001 and to the Organizational, Management and Control Model adopted by the holding company Ansaldo STS S.p.A.. The Code of Ethics applies to all entities within the Ansaldo STS Group. Ansaldo STS promotes the dissemination of the Code of Ethics among the Group’s companies so that, after adaptation in accordance with prevailing laws and regulations, such companies implement the Code as an effective management tool. 1
