Estrid Sweden AB's Code of Conduct

Purpose

This Code of Conduct (the "Code") of Estrid Sweden AB (the "Company") establishes the ethical principles to be followed. It sets forth how we are expected to interact with our stakeholders, colleagues, customers, and with the outside world. It is a set of principles that we should comply with within our daily work and which describes our common culture. The Code may, however, not address every situation we face at work. Therefore, the Code is by no means a substitute for our good and unbiased judgment. We must remember that each of us is responsible for our own actions.

The Code has been approved by the board of Estrid Sweden AB. It is reviewed on an annual basis and revised when necessary.

Scope

The Code applies to all of us - the board, the general management team, employees, consultants, suppliers, partners, and any other party or individual acting on the Company's behalf.

All managers have a certain responsibility to lead by example and to conduct business in accordance with the Code. Managers shall make sure that all team members get the training they need to understand the Code as well as other applicable policies.

Compliance with law

We comply with all national and international laws and regulations which apply to the Company's business. This includes, but is not limited to, applicable competition laws, general data protection regulations, work environment regulations, tax laws and anti-corruption regulations. All employees, and others acting on the Company's behalf, must protect the company's legality. Violation of law may cause major damage to the Company and its reputation.

Environmental and social standards

All suppliers and manufacturers follow our ESG standards and comply with all applicable environmental, health, and safety regulations, promoting the safe and environmentally sound development, manufacturing, transport, use, and disposal of your products. Resources are used efficiently, applying energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies and reducing waste, as well as emissions to air, water, and soil. Our suppliers support the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights, fight forced labor (including modern slavery and human trafficking), and child labor. They treat their employees with respect and provide a workplace free of harassment or abuse of any kind, harsh and inhumane treatment, unlawful practices, or discrimination.

A work environment free of discrimination and harassment

All of us need a healthy and safe workplace and therefore the Company's work environment shall be organized in such a way that no employee is subject to work-related illnesses or injuries. The work environment shall be characterized by openness and all individuals shall be treated equally and with respect. All forms of bullying, discrimination and harassment are unacceptable and may not occur. No one shall experience discrimination due to sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation, age, trade union membership or pregnancy. Neither does the company accept any physical, verbal or sexual harassment.

Conflict of interest

All employees, and others acting on the Company's behalf, are required to conduct at all times in accordance with good professional judgement for the sole benefit of the Company and in such a manner as to not create a conflict of interest or appearance of such conflict.

A conflict of interest exists when an employee's duty to give individual loyalty to the Company can be prejudiced by actual or potential benefit from another source. An employee should refrain from entering into any particular transaction or establishing any business relationship with others if the employee's duty of loyalty and diligence to the Company is or may be impaired.
