Davita Code of Conduct 2013 - 28

Our Communities
DaVita strives to be a leader in our industry and a leader
in our communities. We want to send forth ripples.
1. POLITICAL ACTION
We may support issues of central importance to healthcare by taking action, as permitted by law,
to ensure government officials hear from patients and ourselves. Where appropriate, DaVita may
invite you to write letters, make phone calls and support grassroots efforts. Participation in any
DaVita-sponsored political action initiative has no impact on employment status at DaVita, and no
person may be pressured to participate in any DaVita-sponsored political action initiative.

2. CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS

We may participate fully in the political process. However, we will not make any political
contribution on DaVita’s behalf before first consulting with a member of DaVita’s Public Policy
team (G-Force) regarding U.S. contributions, or Team Quest for contributions outside the U.S. If we
choose to participate in partisan political activities, we do so solely on our own and may not leave
the impression that we speak on DaVita’s behalf.

Charitable contributions may be made to outside charities, on DaVita’s behalf, with proper
approvals from D-COMM in the U.S. or Team Quest outside the U.S. We do not participate in
charitable activities or make charitable contributions to improperly induce referrals, to illegally
gain an unfair business advantage, or in violation of the law.
Because we are a Village, we help each other and our greater community. We are encouraged to
volunteer for charitable activities. However, no person may pressure another to do so. We may also
participate in non-DaVita-sponsored charitable activities as long as it does not affect our work.
