ETHICS & COMPLIANCE Responsible Conduct for Disciplined Industrial Development
Allied Methanol’s approach to ethics and compliance is grounded in integrity, accountability, lawful conduct, and responsible decision-making. As the company advances an integrated Methanol and Blue Ammonia development platform in Western Australia, ethical conduct remains central to how the project is planned, governed, financed, and delivered.
OUR ETHICAL FOUNDATION Integrity Is a Core Control in Project Development
Ethical conduct is essential to responsible industrial development. For Allied Methanol, integrity is not treated as a separate corporate statement. It is part of how decisions are made, how risks are managed, how stakeholders are engaged, and how the company expects its people, contractors, and partners to act.
Allied Methanol expects business activities to be conducted with honesty, fairness, professionalism, and respect for applicable laws, regulatory requirements, internal policies, and stakeholder obligations. This standard applies across company premises, project locations, business meetings, sponsored events, and any setting where individuals represent the company.
“Good governance begins with the discipline to do the right thing before it becomes a requirement.”
COMPLIANCE DISCIPLINE
A Practical Framework for Lawful and Responsible Conduct
Allied Methanol’s compliance approach is designed to support responsible business conduct across the project lifecycle. The company expects employees, officers, contractors, and business representatives to understand the legal, regulatory, and ethical requirements relevant to their roles and to act in accordance with those obligations.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
All business activities should be conducted in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, approvals, permits, and contractual obligations.
Internal Policies and Controls
Policies, procedures, approvals, delegations, and internal controls should guide decision-making and reduce the risk of misconduct or unmanaged exposure.
Contractor and Partner Expectations
Suppliers, contractors, consultants, and project partners are expected to act with professionalism, transparency, and respect for Allied Methanol’s ethical standards.
Review and Continuous Improvement
Compliance expectations should be periodically reviewed as the project progresses, regulatory requirements evolve, and operational complexity increases.
ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURE Clear Oversight Strengthens Stakeholder Confidence
Ethics and compliance are strongest when responsibility is clearly assigned and actively governed. Allied Methanol’s governance approach should support clear lines of accountability, disciplined decision-making, responsible oversight, and structured escalation of material issues.
The company’s governance model should align board oversight, management responsibility, project controls, and stakeholder reporting. This creates a stronger foundation for investor confidence, regulatory engagement, lender due diligence, and responsible project execution.

BUSINESS INTEGRITY No Tolerance for Bribery, Improper Payments or Conflicts of Interest
Allied Methanol expects business to be conducted without bribery, facilitation payments, improper influence, undisclosed conflicts of interest, misuse of confidential information, or conduct that could compromise the company’s reputation.
Employees, officers, contractors, consultants, and representatives should avoid situations where personal interests, external relationships, financial incentives, or other obligations may interfere with their responsibilities to the company. Confidential business information must be protected and used only for legitimate business purposes.
Anti-Bribery and Improper Payments
No bribes, facilitation payments, kickbacks, or improper benefits should be offered, requested, given, or received.
Conflicts of Interest
Potential conflicts should be disclosed, reviewed, and managed before they influence business judgment.
Confidentiality
Commercial, technical, financial, legal, and project information should be handled with appropriate care and protection.
Fair and Respectful Conduct
All people representing the company should act professionally, respectfully, and without discrimination, harassment, or intimidation.
SPEAK-UP CULTURE Responsible Reporting Protects the Company and Its Stakeholders
Allied Methanol encourages responsible reporting of suspected misconduct, unethical behavior, compliance concerns, conflicts of interest, safety matters, environmental issues, or any concern that may affect the company, the project, or its stakeholders. Reports should be handled with care, confidentiality, and proper review to help identify issues early, strengthen internal controls, and protect the integrity of the company’s decision-making process.
Raise Concerns Early
Concerns should be reported before they become larger risks.
Protect Confidentiality
Reports should be treated with appropriate discretion and care.
Review and Respond
Material concerns should be reviewed through the appropriate internal channels.
RESPONSIBLE PROJECT CULTURE Protecting People, Communities and the Environment
Ethics and compliance extend beyond legal obligations. They also influence how people are protected, how environmental responsibilities are managed, and how a responsible project culture is built.
Allied Methanol’s approach should place strong emphasis on Health, Safety, and Environment performance, respect for people, workforce diversity, contractor awareness, training, and responsible engagement with local authorities and stakeholders. As the project advances, these expectations should be supported through practical procedures, clear responsibilities, and measurable controls.
