An Advocate for Small and Diverse Businesses

The MedImmune Supplier Diversity Program strives to provide opportunities for qualified small and diverse business enterprises that can support our long-term growth objectives and add value to our businesses by providing innovative business solutions. Such targeted businesses include small, small-disadvantaged, woman-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran owned, historically black colleges and minority institutions, and HUBZone business enterprises.

We recognize the importance of having a diverse supplier base and are committed to ensure that it is a key component of our supply chain planning. Our goal is to identify qualified small and diverse businesses to participate in the company's procurement process. MedImmune's Diversity Program activities include:

• Developing and maintaining a list of qualified small and diverse business enterprises to provide them with the opportunities to participate to the maximum extent possible in MedImmune's procurement process.
• Maintaining a supplier connections website that allows potential small and diverse suppliers to register to do business with MedImmune.
• External outreach efforts, such as contacts with minority business groups and advocacy organizations, attendance at small and minority business procurement conferences and trade fairs.
• Internal outreach to increase awareness among the sourcing group and stakeholders to ensure that procurement packages are structured to optimize participation of qualified groups

MedImmune seeks small and diverse business enterprises that demonstrate the following:

• Core competencies that provide added value
• Innovation, creativity and expertise
• Excellent past performance
• Understanding the federal acquisition process
• Financial stability and ability to demonstrate sustainability

Both within our organization and across our supply chains, at MedImmune we are committed to carrying out our business responsibly as outlined in the AstraZeneca Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct was recently updated to fully reflect these values and is available for review at:http://www.astrazeneca.com/Responsibility/Code-policies-standards/.

The presence of Bribery or Corruption, in any form, is not acceptable to our business. This value is clearly stated within our 'Global Responsible Procurement Standard', which can be found in the 'Working with Suppliers' section of the corporate website detailed above. To learn more about our commitment to Responsible Procurement, click here.

With regard to this, should you at any time, during your dealings with MedImmune encounter a situation that appears to violate this or any other aspect of the Code of Conduct, we encourage you to contact us and raise the issue to any one of the following individuals within MedImmune:

• Gerard Cardillo, Senior Director, Sourcing Compliance. Telephone +1-301-398-2354 (US)
• Heather Stewart, Vice President and Corporate Compliance Officer. Telephone +1-301-398-5794 (US)

We treat all breaches of the Code of Conduct very seriously and ask that you flag any concerns regarding Bribery or Corruption, or any other Code of Conduct violations to us. In all instances, every effort will be made to ensure that information relating to a reported violation is kept confidential and communicated on a 'need-to-know' basis only.

Suppliers to MedImmune play a critical role in providing the materials, goods and services that MedImmune requires to achieve its mission. MedImmune has launched a Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) program with select suppliers to maximize relationship value while minimizing risks and costs to both organizations. To learn more about supplier relationship management activities, contact your strategic sourcing representative or email sourcing@medimmune.com.

When a dispute arises between suppliers and MedImmune, the MedImmune stakeholder responsible for administering the contract will work with the supplier to resolve the dispute. If the stakeholder is unable to reach a mutually agreeable resolution with the supplier, the matter should be escalated. At any time during the dispute resolution process, the MedImmune stakeholder or the supplier can request assistance from Enterprise Sourcing & Procurement, who in turn may elevate the matter to the appropriate Supply Chain and Legal executives. For assistance, please reach out to sourcing@medimmune.com.

MedImmune requires a Purchase Order (PO) number for tracking commitments and recording all financial obligations with suppliers. Suppliers must include the appropriate MedImmune PO number on all invoices. To minimize the risk of delayed payments for future invoices, we advise you to take ownership of ensuring your MedImmune customers provide a matching PO for the purchase of goods and services as required under company policy.

Effective July 5, 2011, MedImmune has transferred all Accounts Payable operations to AstraZeneca (AZ) in Wilmington, Delaware. All invoices are to be sent to the new mailing address: MedImmune, PO Box 15190, Wilmington, DE 19850-5190, or preferably by email to MedImmune.AccountsPayableInvoices@astrazeneca.com.

A Purchase Order number must be included on all invoices. If a PO number is not available, the employee/requestor name must be provided. If neither the PO number nor the employee name is provided, the invoice may be rejected. For invoice questions, contact the Purchase To Pay helpdesk at 1-800-773-7119 or Helpdesk.USPTP@astrazeneca.com.

Should you have any questions about the PO requirements for the specific goods and services that you provide, please reach out to your MedImmune business contact or contact MedImmune Procurement at Procurement.US@medimmune.com.
