07. STAFF - HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN RIGHTS We support
and respect internationally proclaimed human rights. We ensure that we are not involved in human rights violations. As far as applicable laws allow all employees is free to form and to be a member, or not to be a member, of trade unions or similar external workers' organizations, and to negotiate collectively. Employees are treated with respect and dignity. Physical, mental, sexual, verbal or other illegal harassment and any form of threat or intimidation is prohibited. Our Code of Conduct describes our basic values of how the business is conducted. Our approach is important for our business and gives our employees the guidelines in the challenges they face at work. Our commitment is to, without compromise, act with ethics in all situations. This is crucial for the success of our business as, thanks to our good ethics, we have gained the trust and confidence of customers, suppliers and financiers. DISCRIMINATION AND SEXUAL HARASSMENTS We will offer a workplace where everyone meets each other with respect. We condemn all forms of sexual harassment and do not tolerate such practices. In our organization, we also do not tolerate any form of discrimination. It is not in accordance with our values to treat anyone differently for any irrelevant reason. Everyone with us is judged on how they perform their tasks and nothing else. The HR department investigates and examines each case of individual complaints about human rights violations, violations and harassment. The company actively cooperates with and is audited by local trade union bodies in any and all forms of violations of human rights. We are mainly resellers of our products and see no direct risks in the area as we work with established suppliers and car manufacturers. The few risks we can identify are linked to our suppliers' subcontractors, insofar as they are contracted, as well as locally contracted suppliers and their subcontractors, primarily in the construction and contracting service area. We do not have full transparency there. It is primarily risks related to health and safety that we see as possible risk factors when subcontractors are hired. To minimize these risks, we work with strategic purchasing to increase the proportion of Group-wide suppliers in accessories, services as well as direct and indirect materials. Through the work, we ensure an increased proportion of qualified and approved suppliers and that our code of conduct is signed and accepted by the supplier. RESULTS During the year, we did not become aware of any case that resulted in any investigation within this area.
