Corporate Social Responsibility – A Commitment

Foreword

All Tratos Group employees and directors observe and uphold the company’s CSR values and aims.

The company’s CSR strategy came from a consultation between board members and the executive committee and it is constantly reviewed to ensure it is relevant and efficient. Tratos’ commitment to CSR is embedded in its culture and lies at the heart of its strategy. It is pivotal to the Group conducting business responsibly and with integrity.

Its CSR commitments colour all the Group’s relationships, from customers, colleagues, investors, suppliers, business partners and regulatory authorities to local communities and the wider public. CSR underpins how every Tratos employee conducts themselves.

Tratos’ culture is built by Tratos’ people. Its identity and its reputation. By respecting the CSR, Tratos personnel demonstrate their commitment to transparency and mutual respect that we believe must be inherent in our operations and across interactions with all our stakeholders.

Compliance with the CSR is compulsory. All Tratos employees are required to read and fully understand the CSR and its implications. Poor knowledge of, or ignorance of the CSR will be considered inadequate defence in the event of violation.

While the CSR may not provide guidance for every eventuality, Tratos expects its employees to exercise sound judgment. In essence, this requires that all Tratos employees act in the interests of the Group, our customers and our shareholders before personal interest.

The Board of Directors and the Executive Committee fully support the CSR and its implementation throughout the Group
