Autoneum Holding AG

The activities of the Corporate Responsibility Organization are managed by the Corporate Responsibility Steering Committee. This Corporate Responsibility Steering Committee is made up of members of Group Management and the Corporate Responsibility Organization and meets four times a year under the chairmanship of the CEO. The Committee monitors the implementation of the sustainability strategy and continuously reviews potential risks in the area of Corporate Responsibility and defines important measures. [...] The Board of Directors is involved in voting and decision-making. The Strategy and Sustainability Committee (StSC) supports and accompanies the Board of Directors in all sustainability topics that concern the planet. These include sustainable processes, products, technologies, supply chain management, environmental risks and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Risks and issues related to conflict materials and child labor are addressed in the Audit Committee (AC) of the Board of Directors. All topics relating to people, human rights and employee development are referred to the Nomination Committee (NOC) and the Compensation Committee (COC) of the Board of Directors. The committees meet at least twice a year, or as required.

The Board of Directors, Autoneum's highest governance body, defines and adopts the Group's compliance strategy and addresses key compliance risks. The overall responsibility for operational compliance, assessment of compliance risks and implementation of the Group's compliance strategy lies with the Group Executive Board. [...] The Compliance Council develops the Compliance Program, monitors progress and evaluates compliance incidents on a regular basis. The Group Legal & Compliance department ensures the implementation and continuous improvement of the Compliance Program. It defines the compliance policy framework, establishes internal processes, coordinates initiatives, manages training and learning programs and ensures that the organization is compliant with all applicable laws in the different jurisdictions where Autoneum is active, as well as with all internal regulations and directives. [...] Autoneum operates a global Speak Up Line, which enables employees, customers and suppliers as well as all other external stakeholders throughout the world to report violations of the Code of Conduct and other directives securely, confidentially and, if preferred, anonymously. The Speak Up Line is an option in addition to existing channels (i.e., reporting incidents to a superior, the Human Resources department or the Legal & Compliance function).
