7 AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DONATIONS & SPONSORSHIP In our daily business, situations may arise where personal interests conflict with the interests of the company. In the worst case, these situations can even have a negative impact on the performance of our duties and tasks. We always act in the best interests of the company. We call upon all employees to avoid situations where their personal and/or financial interests come into or could come into conflict with the interests of Wietersdorfer Group. We even avoid situations that just give the impression that our business decisions could be influenced by personal interests. Nevertheless, conflicts of interest cannot always be avoided. We inform our superiors about possible conflicts of interest fully, immediately and without being asked. This enables us to ensure the appropriate transparency and to adequately resolve conflicts of interest. We see ourselves as an active member of society so we get involved in various different ways. Donations and sponsorship activities must only serve the interests of the business and must strictly be kept separate from private interests. In particular, such activities must not be offered or granted in return for an official performing their duty or for a decision of a representative of the business. We do not make any financial contributions, especially donations or sponsorship, to political parties domestically or abroad, individual members of parliament or candidates for political offices. Furthermore, we do not participate in projects that violate laws, generally accepted standards or our values and principles.
