Corporate Governance Good corporate governance is a central aspiration for Veganz that encompasses all areas of the Company. Responsible and trusting cooperation between the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board, as well as transparent reporting and corporate governance that is aligned with the interests of stakeholders, are the basis of our entrepreneurial actions. Our corporate culture is characterised by trust, personal responsibility and transparency. As a Company traded in the Scale segment of the Open Market, we are not subject to the obligation to declare compliance with the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code (Deutscher Corporate Governance Kodex) pursuant to Section 161 para. 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). Such obligation requires a listing in a Regulated Market in Germany. In this respect, we do not currently intend to voluntarily issue declarations of compliance (Entsprechenserklärungen) with the recommendations of the Code. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board believe that such structures can be established in a more flexible manner rather than voluntarily complying with the recommendations of the Code.
