Compliance and integrity
We take responsibility seriously, which is why we have comprehensive compliance guidelines in place – and we adhere strictly to the rules and regulations they describe. These rules apply to everyone, regardless of their position or employer. And everyone is responsible for following them, without exception.
Our Code of Conduct describes the values, basic rules, and principles that form the basis for how we interact and conduct ourselves in our daily business. It also supports us in implementing compliance by describing the relevant regulations and highlighting potential risks and conflicts.
In addition, we attach great importance to integrity, which refers to the consistency of the Code of Conduct with our own words and actions in terms of actively promoting compliance. We explicitly expect all employees to adhere to our Code, in order to ensure compliance and integrity in our daily business.

Information on the equal participation of women and men in management positions and their target quotas
The "Act on Equal Participation of Women and Men in Management Positions in the Private and Public Sector" of May 2015 requires Demmel AG to set targets for the proportion of women on the Supervisory Board, the Management Board and the next two management levels.
In accordance with this legal obligation, the Supervisory Board and Management Board of Demmel AG have set a target of 0% in management positions at Demmel AG for the period up to 31 December 2026. This applies both to appointments to the Supervisory Board and the Management Board and to appointments to the first two management levels below the Management Board (Section 76 (4) AktG).
When filling a management position at Demmel AG, only individual professional and personal competence is explicitly important. Other characteristics such as gender, age, origin, nationality, religion, educational or professional background are not relevant to the decision. This applies to proposals for the election of members of the Supervisory Board, the appointment of Management Board members and the filling of management positions.
The promotion of women in the company and the fundamental commitment to equal rights in every respect are a matter of course for Demmel AG. These values have nothing to do with a fixed quota, but with lived reality. It is important to Demmel AG that people can develop professionally regardless of their gender, religion or origin. We are expressly committed to this.
We do not tolerate any violations of the law or regulatory requirements – no exceptions. This stance requires the awareness and willingness of everyone to call attention to breaches if they have relevant information. We provide a reporting system specifically for this purpose.
