TELL US - Code of Ethics

COMPLIANCE PROGRAMME AND ETHICS LINE TELL US 

The AGROFERT Group is committed to ensuring that legal regulations, ethical behaviour, sustainable business practices and fair business practices are observed at all times in the day-to-day activities of the Group companies. In order to set standards, a Compliance Programme has been adopted, which includes a Code of Conduct containing the Group's basic principles, values and rules, as well as a Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which sets out the minimum requirements in the area of ethical behaviour and sustainable business that we expect our business partners to comply with.

As part of the measures to help detect and eliminate possible illegal or unethical conduct, the Tell Us ethics line +420 272 192 999 is operated, through which suspected violations of the Code of Ethics can be reported. The ethics line is thus intended not only for employees of AGROFERT Group companies, but also for business partners and any other persons who may report violations of applicable laws or rules of ethical conduct approved by the Group. All notifications will be investigated properly, promptly, independently and objectively, and corrective or preventive measures will be taken in the event of a violation. Any retaliation against the person who made the report in good faith is not permitted or tolerated.

Complaints submitted via the Ethics Line or to the Company's Compliance Officer are governed by the rules of the AGROFERT Group Compliance Programme and are not notifications under the Czech Act No. 171/2023 Coll., on the protection of whistleblowers, as amended, or under the Slovak Act No. 54/2019 Coll., on the protection of whistleblowers and on the amendment and supplementation of certain laws. If you wish to make a notification under this Act, please use the procedure set out on the company's website https://www.wotanforest.cz/dokumenty/informace-o-oznamovani-dle-zakona-171-2023-sb..html
