The company strives to prevent insider trading in shares and other financial instruments within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act. By way of safeguards, it has drawn up a Compliance Code and Rules on Investments, and has appointed a corporate compliance officer and local compliance officers for various Corio business units. The Compliance Code and Rules on Investments not only include the rules on compliance but also set out the duties and powers of the compliance officer. The compliance officer reports on these matters annually to the chairman of the Management Board.
