professional judgement at all times.

important. Your employees are provided with appropriate means by which they can raise their
concerns about any of the requirements in this Business Partner Code of Conduct and all
employees who speak out about an issue are protected from retaliation by you.

speak to your contact person within Riwal, who will listen and help you. If you have tried to talk
to them but you feel that you are not being heard, then you can call the external Speak Up Line

anytime in their native language, either by internet and/or by phone. The system is operated by
an external provider and provides the option to speak up in anonymity. Please see attached list
