The Code applies to all people associated with Reverse Logistics Solutions, such as directors, officers, staff of Reverse Logistics Solutions and its subsidiaries, and our agents, partners, consultants, contractors, and suppliers when portraying or acting on behalf of Reverse Logistics Solutions. The same rules bind vendors and partners that provide services and products to Reverse Logistics Solutions. Since compliance with the Reverse Logistics Solutions Vendor Code of Conduct is a prerequisite for doing business with Reverse Logistics Solutions. Reverse Logistics Solutions’ principles and dedication to integrity and honesty in its business operations are recognized and outlined in the Code. As Reverse Logistics Solutions tries to maintain ethical standards and comply with applicable laws and regulations, this Code is meant to concisely explain necessary protocols, rules, and other policies and processes. Each team member bears personal responsibility for incorporating this Code and the principles of Reverse Logistics Solutions into their work and encouraging other Reverse Logistics partners to do the same. Even though this Code flows through the Employee Manual and the Information Management Policy, Reverse Logistics should study and refer to both internal papers for further information on particular sections of the Code.

At the same time, the Information Security Policy outlines Reverse Logistics Solutions’ approach to the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the company’s data
