Aerospace Products and Services business ("Aftermarket") business, is recognized

at a point in time, primarily when the product or solution is shipped to the

customer. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over-

time accounted for approximately 20 percent of revenue for the years ended

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. The Company recognizes revenue over-time

in instances where a contract supports a continual transfer of control to the

customer. Substantially all of our revenue in the Aerospace Aftermarket

maintenance repair and overhaul business (within Aftermarket Products and

Services) and a portion of the revenue for Motion Control Solutions products,

Molding Solutions products and Aerospace OEM products is recognized over-time.

Within the Molding Solutions and Aerospace Aftermarket businesses, this

continual transfer of control to the customer partially results from repair and

refurbishment work performed on customer-controlled assets.

Human Rights

  1. Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights.
  2. Business should make sure that they are not complicit in human right abuses.

Our Company respects and values the diversity reflected in our various backgrounds, experiences and ideas. Together, we provide each other with an inclusive work environment that fosters respect for all our employees and those with whom we do business. We also will never knowingly conduct business with any third parties who engage in human trafficking, forced labor or human rights abuses.

We are guided by 'The Barnes Values', which are the cornerstone of the Company and the bedrock upon which Barnes has been built and sustained for over 165 years. Our Values, as well as our Barnes Enterprise System ("BES") with its guiding principles form the foundation of our business culture.

Consistent with the Barnes Values, the Barnes Code of Business Ethics and Conduct ("Code of Conduct") published on the Barnes corporate website, lays out the principles that guide the behavior of our employees, officers, and directors as we do business around the world. Our Code of Conduct, which is available in nine languages for our global constituencies, provides guidelines, practical direction, and helpful resources to promote ethical conduct and support compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our Code of Conduct applies to all employees, officers and directors of the Company. We also expect all of our business partners, suppliers and agents to hold themselves to equally high standards.

Built on our Values, our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct for Suppliers ("Supplier Code"), published on the Barnes corporate website, communicates the expectations we have of our global supply chain partners. The Supplier Code requires that all suppliers and partners adhere to the Code of Conduct by ensuring the safety, security, and fundamental human rights of their employees, all of which are consistent with our Values.
