PREAMBLE AND FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES

RJV Technologies Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom and operating internationally, hereby establishes this Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy as a fundamental cornerstone of its corporate governance, operational philosophy and legal compliance framework.

This policy represents an unwavering commitment to creating, maintaining and continuously advancing an organizational culture that recognizes values and leverages the full spectrum of human diversity while ensuring equitable treatment and inclusive practices across all aspects of business operations.

The Board of Directors and Executive Leadership of RJV Technologies Limited acknowledge that diversity, equity and inclusion are not merely aspirational goals or voluntary initiatives but rather essential business imperatives that drive innovation, enhance decision making capabilities, strengthen market competitiveness and fulfil our moral and legal obligations to all stakeholders.

This policy establishes binding obligations upon all employees, contractors, vendors, partners and representatives of the organization creating enforceable standards that exceed minimum legal requirements in all jurisdictions where RJV Technologies Limited operates.

This comprehensive framework integrates principles derived from international human rights law, domestic anti-discrimination legislation across multiple jurisdictions, best practices from leading global organizations, scientific research on organizational effectiveness and forward thinking approaches to inclusive excellence.

The policy acknowledges that true diversity, equity and inclusion require systemic transformation rather than superficial compliance measures demanding sustained commitment, measurable outcomes and continuous evolution of practices.

CHAPTER 1: SCOPE, APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1: Scope of Application

This Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy applies comprehensively to all operations, activities, relationships and jurisdictions of RJV Technologies Limited including but not limited to all wholly owned subsidiaries, joint ventures where RJV Technologies Limited maintains controlling interest, strategic partnerships, vendor relationships, client interactions and any other business arrangements where RJV Technologies Limited exercises influence or control.

The geographical scope encompasses all territories where RJV Technologies Limited conducts business, maintains offices, employs personnel or engages in commercial activities including the United Kingdom, European Union member states, North America, Asia Pacific regions, Latin America, Africa and any other current or future operational territories.

The policy applies equally to physical workplaces, virtual work environments, client sites, conference venues, social events and any other contexts where individuals are representing or acting on behalf of RJV Technologies Limited.

All categories of personnel are subject to this policy including permanent employees, temporary staff, interns, consultants, contractors, board members, executive leadership, volunteers and any other individuals acting in representative capacity for RJV Technologies Limited.

The policy extends to cover all employment related decisions, business practices, vendor selection processes, client relationships, community engagement activities and corporate governance functions.

Section 1.2: Definitions

Diversity encompasses the full range of human differences, characteristics, perspectives and experiences that individuals bring to the workplace and broader organizational context.

This includes but is not limited to differences in race, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, colour, religion, spiritual beliefs, creed, age, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, pregnancy, disability, neurodiversity, mental health status, physical characteristics, socioeconomic background, educational background, professional experience, military service, veteran status, political affiliation, geographic origin, language, accent, communication style, cognitive approaches, problem solving methodologies, cultural practices and any other characteristics that contribute to individual identity and perspective.

Equity represents the principle of fairness and justice in treatment, access, opportunity and advancement while recognizing that equal treatment may not always result in equitable outcomes due to historical disadvantages, systemic barriers and differing individual circumstances.

Equity requires proactive identification and elimination of barriers, implementation of corrective measures to address historical inequities, provision of differential support to achieve comparable outcomes and ongoing assessment of outcomes to ensure fairness in practice rather than merely in policy.

Inclusion embodies the creation of environments where all individuals feel valued, respected, heard and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives, talents and experiences to organizational success.

Inclusion requires active cultivation of belonging, psychological safety, cultural competence, accessible communication, participatory decision making processes, recognition of diverse contributions and continuous examination of organizational practices to ensure they welcome and leverage the full spectrum of human diversity.

Bias includes both conscious and unconscious prejudices, stereotypes, assumptions and preferences that influence decision making, interpersonal interactions and organizational processes in ways that may disadvantage certain individuals or groups.

This encompasses implicit bias, confirmation bias, affinity bias, attribution bias and systemic bias embedded in organizational structures, processes and cultures.

Microaggressions are subtle, often unintentional expressions of bias through verbal, behavioural or environmental messages that communicate hostile, derogatory or negative attitudes toward members of marginalized groups.

These may manifest as assumptions about competence, questioning of qualifications, exclusion from informal networks or differential treatment based on identity characteristics.

Psychological Safety refers to the shared belief within teams and organizations that individuals can express ideas, concerns, questions and mistakes without fear of negative consequences to their status, career or relationships.

This includes freedom from retaliation, harassment or marginalization for raising diversity, equity and inclusion concerns.

Intersectionality acknowledges that individuals possess multiple identity characteristics that interact in complex ways, potentially creating unique experiences of advantage or disadvantage that cannot be understood by examining single identity categories in isolation.

Section 4.4: Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Recruitment outcomes are systematically tracked and analysed to identify patterns, assess effectiveness of diversity initiatives and reveal potential areas of bias or exclusion.
