Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery

Heinzel Group strictly prohibits corruption in all forms across its global operations. To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, the Group enforces strict internal policies regarding gifts, invitations, and hospitality. Particular caution is exercised when interacting with public officials and elected representatives. Employees must avoid bribery, carefully evaluate donations, and refrain from facilitation or accelerated payments. Any benefits offered or received must remain within clearly defined, reasonable limits in accordance with internal guidelines. Cash gifts are neither accepted nor provided.Detection and prevention mechanisms are further strengthened through comprehensive anti-money laundering procedures. Financial transactions are conducted only with pre-approved counterparties and within clearly defined limits. External financing requires approval from the Group Treasury and the CFO of Heinzel Holding GmbH. Each subsidiary conducts regular anti-money laundering risk assessments to ensure adherence to compliance standards and safeguard the integrity of its financial operations.Together, these measures ensure a consistent and rigorous approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing corruption and bribery risks across Heinzel Group.
