Whistleblower Policy

Solutio One is committed to high standards of ethical, moral, and legal business conduct. In line with this commitment and our commitment to open communication, this policy aims to provide an avenue for employees and third parties to raise concerns and reassurance that they will be protected from reprisals or victimization for whistleblowing in good faith.

1. Scope

This policy applies to all employees, directors, officers, contractors, subcontractors, and agents of Solutio One. It covers serious concerns that could have a large impact on Solutio One, such as:

• Unlawful acts (e.g., theft, fraud, bribery, corruption).
• Failure to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
• Health and safety risks.
• Damage to the environment.
• Unethical conduct or violation of company policies.
• Concealment of any of the above.

2. Safeguards

Harassment or Victimization

Solutio One recognizes that the decision to report a concern can be a difficult one to make, not least because of the fear of reprisal from those responsible for the malpractice. We will not tolerate harassment or victimization and will take action to protect those who raise a concern in good faith.

Confidentiality

We will do our best to protect an individual's identity when they raise a concern and do not want their name to be disclosed. It must be appreciated, however, that the investigation process may reveal the source of the information and a statement by the individual may be required as part of the evidence.

Anonymous Allegations

This policy encourages individuals to put their names to allegations. Concerns expressed anonymously are much less powerful, but they will be considered at the discretion of the company.

3. How to Raise a Concern

Concerns should be raised through our dedicated Whistleblower Channel. This channel is managed by an independent Ethics Committee to ensure impartiality and confidentiality.

4. How the Company Will Respond

The action taken by Solutio One will depend on the nature of the concern. The matters raised may:

• Be investigated internally.
• Be referred to the police or regulatory bodies.
• Be referred to the external auditor.
• Form the subject of an independent inquiry.

In order to protect individuals and the company, initial inquiries will be made to decide whether an investigation is appropriate and, if so, what form it should take.

5. Malicious Allegations

If an allegation is made in good faith, but it is not confirmed by the investigation, no action will be taken against the complainant. If, however, an allegation is made maliciously or for personal gain, disciplinary action may be taken against the individual making the allegation.
