defining what constitutes good national and international corporate conduct and how to act appropriately
in the specific markets in which the Company is active.

ongoing process. As such, they will be reviewed and revised as law changes, and in keeping with
other national and international developments. Pfleiderer’s Principles of Corporate Governance
will be published on its corporate website and in its annual report.
