Note 1: Export orders can be communicated in a number of different ways. Plant to plant orders between JD companies are not always placed via an ERP system. Best practice for plant-to-plant orders on the same ERP system (SAP or JD Edwards) is to perform a “stock transfer” between JD entities. The receiving company sells the goods to the local customer, who may be a distributor or an end user.Note 2: Sub-process to check regulatory requirements is primarily a manual process for many exporting locations, and is often incomplete, not covering all areas of regulatory concern. This is a process gap that must be addressed to meet Legal requirements.Note 3: ERP systems cover a great majority of Import/Export transactions, divided between SAP in EMA and JD Edwards (2 instances) for the rest of the world. Some JD subsidiaries still use legacy systems or non-standard versions of SAP, and will eventually switch over to one of the main ERP systems, depending on region.Note 4: International Terms of Sale (Incoterms) vary from region to region. EMA sells primarily on an EXW basis, while NA has recently standardized on a CIF basis. Should further standardization of Incoterms occur, this process flow chart would be updated to reflect any process changes that might occur.

Development of the Export Compliance Function at JohnsonDiversey

2002 – Johnson Wax Professional (US) acquires DiverseyLever from Unilever (Anglo-Dutch). Export compliance processes in infancy

2005 – Decentralized Regional Environment – North American region implements automated restricted party screening

2006 – Licensed US Customs broker hired as Global Import/Export department head within Value Chain function

2007 – Business case made to expand the use of automated restricted party screening beyond North America

2008 – Expanding restricted party screening, moving towards centralized oversight of export compliance processes, involving global staff

Senior Management Support was strong from the beginning, and remains strong today

Interim Actions Taken While Automating Restricted Party

Screening• Use existing resources to screen trade party lists of regions outside North America

• Communicate US export compliance requirements to foreign subsidiaries

• Communicate compliance vision as well as risk reduction activities to senior management

• Develop training materials to expand general awareness of global trade compliance

• Process exceptions
