EXTRACT FROM VIEFE'S CODE OF ETHICS

VIEFE's Code of Ethics establishes the principles and standards of conduct that guide the company's activities in the design, manufacture and marketing of decorative hardware: furniture knobs and handles, door pull handles and lever handles, wall hooks and door stops.
This Code provides a framework for internal and external professional relationships. This extract summarises VIEFE's essential commitments to its employees, customers, suppliers, partner companies and society.
The main commitments set out in the Code of Ethics are as follows:

1. Rejection of all forms of discrimination, abuse and harassment. VIEFE promotes fair working relationships based on equal opportunities and full respect for fundamental human rights and principles. To this end, the company has established a Workplace Harassment Prevention Protocol and is committed to ensuring compliance with it.

2. Strict compliance with applicable legislation and internal regulations, particularly in matters relating to employment, occupational health and safety, customs and relations with public authorities.

3. Compliance with tax and Social Security obligations, as well as obligations relating to obtaining and using public grants and financial assistance. VIEFE also adopts measures to prevent money laundering.

4. Protection of confidential information and personal data to which access is granted, together with respect for intellectual and industrial property rights. This commitment is particularly relevant to the company's own design projects and collaborative projects. Where appropriate, the necessary certifications are requested to demonstrate that third-party rights are not infringed.

5. Efficient use of resources and reduction of environmental impact through recycling, the use of recycled materials whenever possible, limiting the consumption of natural resources and reducing or eliminating components that are harmful to the environment.

6. Firm rejection of all forms of corruption and bribery. Relationships with customers, suppliers and other third parties must be based on transparency, honesty, respect and mutual trust.

To support the effective implementation of these principles, VIEFE has appointed a Criminal Compliance Officer (RCP), who also acts as the person responsible for the Internal Information System (RSIIF), and makes its Ethics Reporting Channel available to all interested parties.

The Ethics Reporting Channel allows individuals to report, confidentially, in good faith and without fear of retaliation, potential breaches of the Code of Ethics, internal regulations or applicable legislation, as well as to submit enquiries regarding their content and application. Reports and enquiries may be submitted through the following channels:

- By post to: carrer dels Traginers, 2, polígon industrial La Guàrdia, 08572 Sant Pere de Torelló, Spain, for the attention of the RCP/RSIIF.

- By email to: compliance1@viefe.com.

- By submitting a written communication directly to the RCP/RSIIF.

VIEFE offers its suppliers the opportunity to adhere to its Code of Ethics. To request adherence, suppliers should contact the Ethics Reporting Channel using the email address provided above.
