Combatting corruption is a top priority for us, and we seek to ensure that our own anti-corruption standards are applied not only within the group, but through our supply chain as well.

Our ethical standards are made clear to all staff and suppliers upon commencement of involvement with X5 and are publically accessible on our website.

We continually strive to maintain high ethical standards through regular communication and training, self-compliance returns, an active whistleblower program, and vigorous follow up of allegations or breach alerts. The findings of such investigations are reported to the Management Board and the Audit Committee on a regular basis
