Policies

Warner Bros. Discovery is committed to operate with integrity and high ethical standards in all our business activities. We have a Code of Ethics that all Warner Bros. Discovery employees, executives, officers and directors must act according to the principles set forth in the Code; this sets out the ethical conduct required of all those who work for the company. Also, we have established expectations of ethical business practices with our business partners through the Business Partner Statement of Ethics ensuring that our business partners (including suppliers and anyone who provides products, services or personnel to Warner Bros. Discovery) adopt the same high values as we do as a company. Under the principles of the Statement of Ethics, our suppliers must adhere to the same high standards that Warner Bros. Discovery sets itself in relation to fair and ethical business and employment practices. We recognise and respect all labour and employment laws, including health, safety and the environment and those combating improper discrimination, child and forced labour.

We strive to hold our employees and business partners including suppliers to act with ethical and legal standards of business integrity. To ensure that modern slavery is not occurring within our supply chains, we make reasonable efforts to know and their work practices, including their reputations for legal compliance and respect for human rights. We will act and discontinue relationships with suppliers and other business partners who fail to meet our high standards for lawful and ethical conduct as expressed in our Code and Statement of Ethics.

Warner Bros. Discovery offers its EthicsPoint hotline to employees, customers, suppliers and members of the general public with a mechanism, including on an anonymous basis (where allowed by law), to report concerns about potential ethical, legal or regulatory violations. Warner Bros. Discovery will investigate allegations and take appropriate corrective actions.

Supply Chain and Corporate Operations

As a global media company, Warner Bros. Discovery's core business is in the production and distribution of media content. Warner Bros. Discovery employs people both directly and through business partners. Our content supply chains are diverse and include commissioned content created by production companies and finished content licensed from distribution and production companies. Additionally, we have a smaller supply chain that supports our licensing business and creates consumer-branded products.

Warner Bros. Discovery is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to try to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains. We are not aware of, nor do we have any information to suggest that any inappropriate labour conditions are present in our supply chains. We apply strict and consistent standards when dealing with suppliers around the world.

Risk Mitigation

In 2020, we continued to build on our existing processes to identify and mitigate modern slavery risk in the supply chain.

We included anti-slavery provisions in our contracts with production companies. Also, Warner Bros. Discovery has enhanced its contract templates by which Warner Bros. Discovery licensees and vendors agree, represent and/or warrant that they will comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning the manufacture of Warner Bros. Discovery-branded product, which would include compliance with laws regarding forced labour, human trafficking and slavery.

Training

During 2020, we led a number of training and awareness sessions with senior leadership, Licensing & Consumer Products, Legal, Procurement and operational teams with the laws, rules and policies that apply to their business activities by emphasizing Warner Bros. Discovery’s commitment to ethical business conduct. These sessions shared education about Warner Bros. Discovery's third-party risk management process including how to identify high-risk transactions including modern slavery.

We will continue to strengthen our risk mitigation processes set out above and address any findings.

Discovery group’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending 31 December 2022. The Warner Bros.
