OUR CODE
OF CONDUCT
2

Welcome to our Code of Conduct


Our Code of Conduct sets out the standards for
every one of us in Aggreko. Firmly based on our
shared Always Orange values, it’s a practical guide
to the way we should all behave at work.
We all share a common goal: to deliver growth. Clearly, that’s
important – but doing it in the right way is even more important.
To make a massive difference we all need to do the right thing – that
might not always be the easiest, quickest or cheapest choice, but it
should always be the choice we make.
Use the Code of Conduct to hold yourself and others accountable. If you
see something that doesn’t meet our high standards then challenge it,
using the Code and our Always Orange values. Sometimes that might
feel like a difficult thing to do, but the whole of the leadership team is
here to support you to do the right thing; please talk to your manager,
a member of your regional management team or any member of my
executive team if you feel unsure about challenging behaviour that
goes against the spirit of our shared Code.
Please take time to read the Code of Conduct and think about how
it applies to you, your job and your team. Ask your manager if anything
is unclear, and use the Code to help us to create an Always Orange
Aggreko where every colleague can thrive and our business can grow.

What is the Code of Conduct?


Our Code of Conduct has three main purposes: These questions should always steer you to do

members of Team Aggreko. These values guide you can speak to:
our behaviour and provide a common set of • Your manager

3. to explain how to speak up or get further

guidance if we are unsure or concerned
about any activities or behaviours. • The Head of Compliance
• The Chair of the Ethics and Corporate
Responsibility Committee.
Within this Code of Conduct we have tried to
provide practical guidance on how to deal with
difficult issues but we can’t cover every situation. As Aggreko does business in more than 80

ALWAYS ORANGE – OUR CODE OF CONDUCT 6

Who is the Code of Conduct for?


The Code applies to everyone
in Team Aggreko.
This means employees, contractors, third party
sales representatives and our directors and officers
throughout the world. If we form a joint venture
with another business, our Code of Conduct (or
equivalent) will apply.
Everyone is expected to read, understand and
follow the Code. We take our Code seriously
because getting things wrong could damage
our reputation, harm our employees, create
unnecessary risk and may even lead to criminal
liability for Aggreko or our employees. That’s why
we’ll always investigate and take action against
anyone who doesn’t comply with the Code at
work, with consequences including anything from
additional training to termination of employment.
