Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy

Purpose

Bridgehampton values a workforce and leadership team that draw on varied experience, expertise, geography, background, and perspective. Employment and advancement will be based on lawful, merit-based criteria, with equal opportunity and an inclusive, respectful environment.

Scope

This Policy applies to directors, officers, employees, applicants, contractors, and workplaces controlled by the Company. Host-country law applies to international operations; U.S. and Delaware requirements apply where they have jurisdiction.

Equal opportunity

The Company prohibits unlawful discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, military status, housing status, family responsibilities, reproductive health decisions, status as a victim of domestic violence, sexual offense or stalking, or any other status protected by applicable law.

Commitments

• Use job-related criteria and structured processes in recruiting, compensation, promotion, development, discipline, and termination.
• Provide reasonable accommodations for disability, religion, pregnancy, childbirth and related conditions, and other legally protected needs.
• Prohibit harassment, bullying, retaliation, and conduct that creates an unlawful hostile environment.
• Develop broad candidate pools and mitigate bias without using unlawful quotas or preferences.
• Support flexible work and leave practices consistently and lawfully where operationally feasible.
• Consider diversity of thought, experience, technical expertise, and background in Board and succession planning.
• Monitor workforce outcomes using lawful, privacy-protective data and correct identified barriers.

Reporting and non-retaliation

Concerns may be raised through management, Human Resources, Legal, or the Whistleblower channels. Retaliation for good-faith reporting, requesting accommodation, opposing discrimination, or participating in an investigation is prohibited.

Delaware requirements

For covered Delaware employment, this Policy will be administered consistently with the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act and applicable notice, accommodation, wage-discussion, and anti-retaliation requirements. Human Resources will update protected-category and posting practices as law changes.
