Trust begins 
with responsibility

Our Code of Conduct is built on AGRANA's values. Compliance is the foundation of every business decision we make and an integral part of our strategy.


It clearly defines the standards of conduct we expect – from our employees and leaders to our business partners. Together with our corporate principles, the Code of Conduct provides a common framework across the entire Group, setting clear standards for integrity, responsible business conduct, and ethical behaviour.

Respecting and protecting human rights is at the heart of our corporate responsibility and a fundamental requirement for every partnership across our value chain. Our Human Rights Policy Statement outlines how we fulfill this responsibility towards our employees, business partners, and everyone affected by our business activities.

As a publicly listed company, AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG complies with all applicable stock exchange and capital markets regulations, particularly the European Union Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and the Austrian Stock Exchange Act.

To ensure compliance, we have established our Capital Markets Compliance Policy. It sets out the organizational structures and processes designed to protect inside information and prevent its unauthorized use or disclosure.

We comply with all applicable anti-corruption laws in every country where we operate. Our Group-wide and local Anti-Corruption Policies translate the principles of our Code of Conduct into clear requirements governing gifts, hospitality, sponsorships, donations, and other forms of benefits.

Our global Competition Law Compliance Policy ensures that all employees and governing bodies understand, comply with, and recognize the core principles of competition and antitrust law. It helps prevent legal violations by equipping our employees with practical guidance for applying these requirements in their daily work.


In addition, our Joint Venture Information Exchange Policy defines which information may be shared with our joint venture partners.

In the course of business, the personal or financial interests of our employees and governing bodies may conflict with the interests of the AGRANA Group. To ensure transparency, we have established a reporting and documentation system that applies across AGRANA. Reported conflicts of interest are documented by the Compliance Office and either mitigated or appropriately managed. Any necessary measures are subject to approval by the responsible manager or the Executive Board.

Protecting personal data, safeguarding confidentiality, and handling information responsibly are fundamental to how we operate. We comply with all applicable national data protection laws as well as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), translating these requirements into practice through clear internal policies and procedures.

The integrity of our business partners is the foundation of every business relationship. 
Our Group-wide Business Partner Compliance Policy sets out how we assess new and existing business partners, the criteria we apply, and when additional approvals are required.


We continuously monitor sanctions and trade restrictions. Our business partner portfolio is screened daily against relevant sanctions lists using automated processes, while any alerts are reviewed and documented in accordance with the four-eyes principle.
