  Dollar General Corporation  100 Mission Ridge  Goodlettsville, TN 37072 To: Dollar General Import Suppliers From: Jackie Li; Chief Global Sourcing Officer Beth Gammons; Vice President of Global Compliance Date: April 15, 2021 Re: WCA 3.0 Dear Supplier Partners, Dollar General’s partner for Corporate Social Accountability (CSR) audits, Intertek, has updated their Workplace Conditions Assessment (WCA) program. This is the program that Dollar General utilizes to audit all import factories under social and environmental criteria. This update is a part of Intertek’s periodic formal review of the WCA Standard as they strive to continuously improve and remain aligned with industry norms and best practices. Improvements are driven by the following pillars:  Raising the bar for supplier expected performance- stricter requirements for high performance  Trends in the industry - increased focus on modern slavery/forced labor  Benchmarks- with other leading industry social and environmental programs  Legal changes- new local labor and environmental requirements  Feedback from auditors, buyers and suppliers  Revamped WCA Audit Report with new Intertek branding Intertek and Elevate will begin auditing with the WCA 3.0 standards on July 1, 2021. This will apply to all initial and annual audits. Anyone that is currently scheduled for a reaudit will continue under the WCA 2.0 standards, until they reach an annual audit cycle. Attached, you will find further information from Intertek about the changes. They will also be reaching out to you soon regarding updated training to prepare for a WCA 3.0 audit. If you have any questions about the new audit standards, please email business.assurance@. Sincerely, Jackie Li Beth Gammons Chief Sourcing Officer
