Countries of Concern

GE has decided not to do business in certain countries because of the reputational and business risks involved. GE evaluates such countries on an ongoing basis consistent with applicable law.

Consistent with applicable law, GE does not do business in any country designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism by the U.S. Department of State. These countries include Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria. The Company will not accept any business in these countries, except that which is licensed by the U.S. government for humanitarian or public policy purposes. This same policy applies to North Korea as well.

In addition, GE has not engaged in business in Myanmar (Burma) since 1996, except for limited humanitarian and public policy purposes.
