GRI 2-26 At Nowy Styl, we focus on a culture of trust and responsibility because we believe in the importance of creating an open and safe environment where anyone acting in good faith can report violations and rest assured that their report will be treated confidentially, including protection against retaliatory action. In compliance with the provisions of the 14th of June 2024 act on the protection of whistleblowers, we have developed a Reporting and Follow-up Procedure for reporting situations that violate the catalogue of rights explicitly listed therein. In particular, these include areas such as corruption, public procurement, prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, product safety and compliance, transportation safety and environmental protection. The Internal Reporting and Follow-up Procedure has been effective since 25th of September 2024 and is an addition complement to our existing reporting solutions. In terms of the areas outlined, the above procedure has introduced the following reporting channels: > in writing (form) or orally (voice message recording) through a channel available at https:// nowystyl.whistlelink.com/; > in writing to the following correspondence address: Nowy Styl Sp. z o.o., ul. Jasnogorska 9, kl. A, II P, 31-358 Krakow, Poland - with a note “Confidential, deliver to the Compliance Officer”; > by telephone to the Compliance Officer’s number; > at the request of the whistleblower, orally during a face-to-face meeting held within 14 days of the report. In order to ensure safe and confidential submission of reports, we have provided a platform for reporting violations on our website and intranet (on the Nowy Styl Portal). This platform enables submitting written (form) and oral (voice message recording) reports. Nowy Styl also allows anonymous reporting. In order to communicate this Procedure and the new reporting channels as effectively as possible, we have decided to communicate these new solutions in the following way: > e-mail communications to all employees regarding the implementation of the Internal Reporting and Follow-up Procedure; > making the Internal Reporting and Follow-up Proce- dure available on the intranet (Nowy Styl Portal) under the Essentials – Compliance tab; > publishing an information poster on bulletin boards at production facilities: Your report matters. Report irregularities and be part of positive change! The poster contains a QR code which, when scanned, links to a reporting form; > a video displayed on TVs located in the common areas of Nowy Styl offices with friendly and detailed information on types of violations and how to report them to Nowy Styl. The procedure was implemented in 2024.. These issues are included in the designed Compliance e-learning training which covers themes such as Business Ethics and Anti-Corruption.
