At Nordex Group, we are greatly committed to our core values of Integrity, Respect, Colleagueship, and Ownership. This commitment ensures that our principles not only shape our corporate culture but also every aspect of our operations. As Team Nordex, we set a clear expectation for ethical behavior and compliance within the law, which is fundamental for keeping the trust of our customers, shareholders, business partners, and the public. We actively uphold the principles and standards of conduct set out in the Nordex Group guidelines, emphasizing the importance of ethical business practices in all we do.

Whistleblowing
Nordex Group Whistleblower System “notify!“
Integrity is one of the core values that guide the Nordex Group’s approach towards its employees, customers, suppliers, business partners, shareholders, and the general public. Every single person has a role to play in promoting ethical behaviour and fighting against criminal offences, corruption, fraud, or human rights or environmental violations, among others, at all levels of society. Committing to a “speak-up” culture, we have established the Whistleblower System “notify!” based on principles of trust, good faith, impartiality, and protection, with the purpose of encouraging and facilitating the reporting of any form of compliance violation related to the Nordex Group’s business activities and its authorized representatives.
The Whistleblower System “notify!” reinforces the Nordex Group’s ethical governance practices and transparent corporate environment while working as an early detection system in the event of potential risks of which the Nordex Group and those responsible for them are not yet aware. No one must remain passive when facing or witnessing a situation that represents a breach of the law, the Code of Conduct for employees, the Code of Conduct for Contractors and Suppliers or other internal dispositions and regulations. The reported concern should be described in detail and as clearly as possible. It is helpful to bear in mind the following questions: who, what, when, where, why and how? The Nordex Group guarantees confidentiality at all levels. The identity of the whistleblower may be only disclosed by obligations imposed by court order, local government, or EU or national law. Any whistleblower who reports in good faith will be protected from any threats of retaliatory measures and actions. No person will suffer disadvantages due to information provided in good faith, with reasonable belief and not for the purpose of personal gain. The Nordex Group will take all reports very seriously. Intentional reporting of false information is prohibited by law in many countries. For further details, please see the Nordex Group Policy on the Whistleblower System.
In the light of the German Supply Chain Act (GSCA) requirements applicable to Nordex Group as of 1st of January 2024, Nordex Group has elaborated a complaints procedure that enables any person to confidentially report risks or violations of human or environmental rights or obligations in the supply chain of Nordex Group. The supply chain comprises the Nordex Group itself (“own business area”) as well as direct and indirect suppliers of the Nordex Group. For further details, please see the Rules of Procedure for the Complaints Procedure pursuant to the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (GSCA).
