Code of Ethical Business Conduct   21


         Slavery and Human Trafficking
            Slavery and human trafficking are violations of fundamental human
         rights. They take many forms, including servitude, forced and compulsory
         labor, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by
         another in order to exploit them for personal gain. Martin Marietta has a
         zero tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking and is committed
         to acting fairly, ethically and with integrity in all of its business affairs.
         Martin Marietta is committed to enforcing effective systems and controls
         to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in
         its own business or in any of its supply chains.
            Under the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, certain corporations are required
         to make disclosures as to the steps taken to ensure their businesses and
         supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking. Consistent with
         that requirement, Martin Marietta is committed to ensuring transparency in
         its approach to tackling slavery and human trafficking. We expect the same
         high standards from all of our vendors, suppliers and business partners.

         refer all inquiries from third parties, including investors, analysts and media
