WHISTLEBLOWER SYSTEM

The reputation and success of our company is affected by the specific behavior of each PREH employee. The rules laid down in our
Code of Conduct oblige every employee to obey the applicable laws, standards and internal rules and regulations and constitute the basic principles governing the conduct of all employees.

To avoid any harm to our company, our employees and business partners, any breaches of the applicable laws and standards must be identified at an early stage so that they can be clarified and remedied without delay. To this end, Preh GmbH has set up a whistleblower system to receive specific warnings of any possible misconduct, possible breaches of rules and regulations or violations of the law by employees of the PREH Group.

The whistleblower system ensures that any reports received will be handled confidentially and, if desired, anonymously by our team of specialists.
