Dear colleaGues, Griesemann Gruppe is this unique company, because extraordinary people are working together here. Being the managing director of this family-owned enterprise, I am responsible for you and your personal well-being is very near to the heart of the Griesemann family, all managers and last but not least near to my heart. Indeed, this is self-interested to certain extend: Just like you I spend most of my lifetime together with colleagues at my place of work. So I want to feel comfortable and this is only possible if all are fi ne. Of course we do know: Where people realise sophisticated projects and are exposed to different sources of stress, they show their human side and this can cause hassle. At the same time, we want to utilise our time and energy most effi cient to reach our targets. We have already done it quite well but we know that we can do better. This policy shall provide orientation and consists of three parts. The basic principles defi ne the basis of our business model. The managerial promise outlines the targets that guide our managing team. Out togetherness, our code of conduct, shall be a tool for everybody to advance Griesemann Gruppe continuously. In this spirit, I am looking forward to a successful, fruitful and open cooperation. Björn Griesemann, Managing director, Wesseling, May 2021 03

In doing so, „Our togetherness“ cannot give particular guidelines. Diffi cult decisions must always be taken individually, confl icts are solved in the particular situation. However, it forms a frame for handling daily routines of Griesemann Gruppe. „Our togetherness“ shall guide us to take the right decisions and develop the future of Griesemann Gruppe positively. Throughout Griesemann Gruppe, conduct shall be within the law, ethically perfect and responsible towards everybody and all natural resources. Our highest aim is to protect our colleagues and safeguard all jobs of Griesemann Gruppe on long-term. We want to improve our services and products continuously. 10

Violating this code of conduct, may cause disciplinary or labour law-related actions. 11

We want to work together confi dingly and support a working atmosphere encouraging the self-initiative and fl exibility of all colleagues. We assist each other professionally and personally. This applies particularly for welcoming and training new colleagues. We trust in our colleagues to live and follow generally accepted social standards - not only privately but also businesswise.

our ToGeTHerness - coDe of conDucT occuPaTional HealTH anD safeTy We protect our health and our fellows‘ one. We all are invited to use the varied offers for health promotion and to produce new ideas. We are problem solvers and pleased about new challenges that promote our development. So being in sound health and suffi ciently refreshed, we handle only these tasks we know well and we are trained for. We always keep all applicable rules for hygiene and infection protection in mind. We... 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...live occupational health and safety; it is our top priority. ...support each other to be safe. ...want to be attentive and make others aware. ...all are challenged; occupational health and safety does not care about any hierarchy. 7 8 9 ...assume responsibility for each other. ..interfere unsafe activities. Without any compromise. ...have got everything we need to work safely. 10 ...know that we save jobs by working safely. ...motivate each other to work safely. 11 ...want to come home safe and sound every single day. ...all are role models.

We never work infl uenced by alcohol, drugs or medication. An initial instruction and regular safety briefi ngs provide us with comprehensive safety issues. information on occupational health and If we work in areas where additional safety regulations apply, particularly our clients‘ ones, we familiarise ourselves with these regulations. 15
our ToGeTHerness - coDe of conDucT aPPlyinG THe laW 16 We want to behave lawfully and ethically. That is why we observe the general rules. Approaching governments and authorities, we are always genuine and transparent. Griesemann Gruppe does not interfere in private activities. In return, we separate political commitment from our jobs at Griesemann Gruppe. We observe all applicable anti-corruption rules. Bribery, insider dealings, market abuse, fraud or money laundering must not be tolerated.
By no means, we offer, grant, demand or accept any payments, gifts, invitations or favour for preferential treatment or business advantages in return. People who are involved in bribery or corruption must face disciplinary sanctions. We do avoid confl icts of interest. There is such a confl ict if a colleague pursues such an issue that is contra- dictory to the company‘s interests and infl uences her/ his ability to take objective decisions. This may be the case regarding other business activities, the participation in certain events or particular contacts. To be on the safe side, we avoid such situations that give the impression of being in confl ict with anything from the very beginning. Confl icts of interests can be real but also just recognised as such. Since such situations cannot be assessed easily, we contact our management if we suspect any kind of confl ict of interests. 17
our ToGeTHerness - coDe of conDucT imProVemenT culTure The success of Griesemann Gruppe also depends on our group-wide cooperation and the continuous improvement of our performances. We want to learn from and with each other. Training and qualifi cation programmes as well as a lot of internal projects are important instruments for that. Each and every one of us is an expert in her/ his fi eld and can easily recognise and name the room for improvement. Ideas of improvement that advance our company and our processes shall be introduced actively. We encourage an open communication and constructive criticism. We appreciate an open and honest communication of problems and confl icts. Keeping the collective in mind, we wish that all colleagues address properly to reputed misconduct throughout all departments and hierarchies. Only this way, we can improve. A mistake that is hidden or not corrected can do substantial harm. Particularly our business can suffer from the slightest mistake during engineering, production or installation. It cannot only cause fi nancial conse- quences but also be a thread to life and limb. So it is everyone‘s duty to have risk-sensitive look at everything and to point out every misconduct. No one shall ever have bad feelings or even be punished if a mistake is brought up. In fact, it is important to treat ourselves carefully and to take care of each other. 18

In doing so, we count on most modern and adequate technologies. 20

We treat each other with dignity, respect and fairness. We avoid situations that might be inappropriate for others. 22

Mobbing and any other humbling, intimidating or hostile action and behaviour must not be tolerated and shall be punished by disciplinary measures. We prevent any behaviour violating or infringing spheres of privacy. We place great importance on preventing any kind of sexual harassment, any suspicion shall be stated and charges might be pressed against that person.
