6 How does the Compliance Line work in practice?
1. Employee makes a report using the Compliance Line via phone or web in his/her native language 2. Third party (People Intouch) translates the message to English and posts the translated (or transcribed) message in the system. EMPLOYEES 3. Global Compliance Team receives notification of a new message on the system. Global Compliance reads the message and posts a reply. GLOBAL COMPLIANCE TEAM People can remain anonymous in this process. But providing details with help us with the investigation. If reluctant to identify oneself at least provide some evidence – screenshots, names, documents --- to help with the investigation. Is the message really confidential? Yes. Only the Head of Global Compliance and Compliance Manager can access the system to see messages and communicate with the messenger. 4. Employee can access the reply in the system in his/her own language and post a new comment/upload documents. 5. The cycle continues and the case may lead to an internal investigation. 25 October 2019 Confidential | © KONE Corporation

9 QUESTIONS FOR GUIDANCE
Does this feel right to you? Does it comply with laws and regulations? Does it follow our KONE Code of Conduct, policies and values? Would your manager approve? Would you be comfortable reading about your action in the local news or social media? If you answer “Yes” to each question, go ahead! If you answer “No” to any question, STOP and ASK! 1. Does this feel right to you? At the end of the day, you know the difference between right and wrong. Consider the morality of the situation. 2. Does it comply with laws and regulations? Obviously everything that we do has to be legal. If you are unsure about whether something is legal or not, don’t act. Contact management, legal, or compliance for guidance first. 3. Does it follow our KONE Code of Conduct, policies and values? A sure way to judge a situation is to start by checking the KONE Code of Conduct. Familiarizing yourself with the full content will help make you every step of the way. 4. Would your manager approve? Ask yourself, “What would your manager say about this situation?” 5. Would you be comfortable reading about your action in the local news or social media? If your actions were covered in a report by your local news station, would it be a good or bad message for yourself and KONE?
