Protection of property and intellectual property

We respect the Group’s and our stakeholders’ intellectual property, such as copyrights, trademarks,
patents, and trade secrets. We comply with all legislation and regulations and contractual obligations
related to the protection of intellectual property.

In our day-to-day operations, we are responsible for the property of the Group and its business
partners, such as machinery, equipment, assets, copyrights, and information. We must handle them
with care and protect them from damage, loss, theft, and misuse.

Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure the confidentiality of the Group’s and its business
partners’ secret information. We treat confidential information with care and disclose it only to parties
who have the right to access it and need it for the performance of their duties. We adequately protect
the Group’s intellectual property rights – inventions, patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade
secrets. We protect information from security threats and unauthorized and illegal use in accordance
with our policies and procedures.

Our documents and reporting are transparent

All Group records must be factual, accurate and complete, and accounting information must be
recorded promptly and accurately in accordance with good accounting practice. No business
objective ever constitutes a reason to distort facts or falsify accounts.

We operate responsibly

Our goal is to operate responsibly and to promote sustainable development, considering the
economic, environmental, and social aspects of sustainability and responsibility. We are committed
to do business in a socially responsible manner, ensuring the health and safety of our employees at
work, safeguarding the interests of our shareholders, and protecting the environment. We also strive
to develop and provide our Customers with environmentally friendly solutions and environmentally
sustainable products and services. In all our activities we strive to minimize the impact of biodiversity,
reducing excess water consumption and minimizing air pollution actions.

Anti-bribery and corruption

The Hedengren Group has zero tolerance for all forms of bribery and corruption. The Group is
committed to acting professionally, fairly, and honestly in all our dealings and business operations.

To make our policy clear and understandable, we prohibit accepting or soliciting anything from civil
servants or third parties that could influence our business decisions or compromise our integrity.
We do not tolerate any form of corruption or bribery in our operations, and we expect the same
from our business partners. If you encounter any situation that might involve or suggest a violation
of this policy, you must report it immediately to your manager or the compliance officer.
