The Raisio Group is committed to operating responsibly and in accordance with its values and Code of Conduct and to comply with laws and authorities’ guidelines and regulations in its business. In order to achieve these goals, it is essential that we are at all times aware of possible violations and abuses related to our operations.

The Raisio Group has a procedure and a communications channel through which a person employed by the Group, or a customer, partner or other member of the Group’s stakeholder may also anonymously report suspected misconduct related to the Raisio Group or its operations.

Reporting suspicions or findings related to unethical activities or misconducts, such as non-compliance with laws and regulations or with Raisio’s Code of Conduct, corruption, bribery, or conflict of interest or infringement of the rules and regulations governing the financial markets, in particular the securities markets.

A person employed by the Group are advised to report any misconduct or suspected violation in the work community primarily to his or her own supervisor or their supervisor and if that is not possible, to use this channel for reporting.

This is not an emergency notification channel. If property or human life is at risk, we recommend that you contact the persons responsible for the security of our company and, if necessary, the authorities.

The system should not send information that could be prohibited from being disclosed in the country where you live. Such information may include e.g. state secrets and matters related to national defense.

The notification channel is also not intended for customer complaints or customer feedback. Complaints or feedback must contact Raisio’s consumer service via a feedback form, telephone or post.
