As a family company, we attach great importance to the perception of our social responsibility, both inside and outside our organization. Our corporate culture is characterized by transparency, mutual respect and trust. We identify with people and cultures in all regions in which we operate. For MENNEKES, compliance is a behavioral concept that reflects our corporate culture and raises employee awareness to act in an ethical and legally compliant manner. We are reliable in words and actions.

Law-abiding, responsible behavior is of vital importance to MENNEKES. As part of the Company's Compliance Management program, we have adopted a code of conduct: "Every individual bears responsibility" and embraced our core values, duties and principles of conduct across all business lines and for all employees, including senior management, as a guiding framework in the following areas:

• Reliability and honesty
• Compliance with laws
• Elaboration of business terms and conditions
• Contract negotiations
• Complaint management
• Dealing with competitors
• Presentation of Mennekes in public
• Careful handling of operating resources, know-how and company assets
• Careful handling of data
• Environmental protection and resource efficiency
• Avoidance of conflicts of interest
• Compliance with customs, export control and foreign legislation
