Our Code of Conduct reflects our commitment to a prominent level of business ethics and is the overarching compliance document for our Group. The Code of Conduct outlines the behaviour we expect of our employees. It sets the minimum standards and general principles applicable to all employees, regardless of location and the nature of their work, and provides everyone with a common understanding of how we conduct our business.

In H1 2024, we hosted Business Ethics Days at our headquarters in Denmark for all our global business ethics champions and for centralised business functions. The purpose of the days was to further educate our champions on business ethics compliance and ensure engagement throughout the champions’ network.

Anti-retaliation is a part of our Whistleblower Policy. We are committed to ensuring that there will be no discriminatory or retaliatory action against any employee or third party who in good faith raises a concern through the whistleblower hotline. Our anti-retaliation efforts comply with Directive (EU) 2019/1937.
