The Group Code of Ethics<\/strong> states that Haier \"in market competition, not only undertakes to create active and effective participation, but also to strictly observe laws and business ethics, and demonstrate product quality, performance, after-sales service, etc. without misrepresentation, never defaming or attacking competitors<\/em>\" <\/strong>and, furthermore, in dealing with Customers to \"strictly abide by antitrust laws and avoid participating in agreements (formal or implicit) with companies in the industry that may influence free competition, setting sales prices or production volumes, while agreeing on sales areas or customers to be served<\/em>\".<\/strong><\/p>

Therefore, voluntarily and proactively, the Group enriches its Regulatory System with an Antitrust Code of Conduct and a specific Antitrust Guideline<\/strong> to regulate the protection of competition and consumers and to define the rules of conduct that all members of corporate bodies, executives, employees, as well as all those who work to achieve the Group's purpose and objectives are required to observe in conducting business and managing relations with external stakeholders, promoting compliance and setting an example of their concrete application.<\/p>

The Code of Conduct and the Antitrust Guidelines form the foundation of the Group's broader Competition and Consumer Protection Compliance Program<\/strong>, which has been defined based on the characteristics of Haier and the markets in which it operates, consistent with the Competition and Market Authority's \"Antitrust Compliance Guidelines\" and considering national and international best practices.<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
