Page 7 on "If non-conformances are detected, ESG, Sourcing, and Manufacturing teams work closely with the supplier to develop corrective action plans to resolve detected issues, including providing links to education and training. The supplier is required to identify the root cause of the non-conformance, establish a corrective course of action, and implement preventive actions for all issues found. The supplier must correct issues within specific deadlines based on the severity of the non-conformance or risk termination of its business relationship with Oracle"
Page 7 - example of corrective step taken:
"During Fiscal Year 2023, Oracle identified a single priority 1 issue related to a third-party charging recruiting fees. This issue was addressed and corrected before the closure audit. During these assessments and audits, improvement opportunities were identified in the areas of labor documentation, policy, contingency planning, health, safety, and environmental compliance or labor agency contracts. In these cases, corrective actions were developed and validated by the ESG and SCO teams with continuous monitoring for effectiveness.
Page 4 - example of contract cancellation as a response:
"The CEBC, SCEBC, PCEBC and RBA Code (“Codes”), combined with Oracle’s supply chain due diligence efforts and supplier capacity building programs, provide the key mechanisms used to prevent and mitigate risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in the supply chain. The Codes set standards designed to protect the health, safety, and treatment of workers, including the prohibition of any form of modern slavery, including forced, bonded, or indentured labor, involuntary prison labor,sex trafficking, and human slavery or trafficking. Any violation of these standards by an Oracle employee can result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment.
Any violation by a supplier may result in penalties including contract termination."
Page 6 - example of contract cancellation as a response:
"Oracle includes terms in its supplier contracts obligating suppliers to comply with Oracle’s policies, including anti-slavery and human trafficking standards, as well as the RBA Code of Conduct, with a breach of such obligations potentially resulting in termination of the contract and/or business relationship with Oracle."
p.1
"A collaborative approach is undertaken in combating any modern slavery risks with engagement from senior management downwards through owned and controlled entities, with risks remediated through policies, education, and compliance activities."

"In Fiscal Year 2023, Oracle completed 49 audits based on the RBA Code of Conduct at hardware supplier factory locations. The process is to check initial audit findings and results and then escalate to the supplier manufacturing site or other applicable location in order to remedy all findings before the closure audit. During Fiscal Year 2023, Oracle identified a single priority 1 issue related to a third-party charging recruiting fees. This issue was addressed and corrected before the closure audit. During these assessments and audits, improvement opportunities were identified in the areas of labor documentation, policy, contingency planning, health, safety, and environmental compliance or labor agency contracts.
