two to three rotating topics. We have customized our training programs, ensuring that employees receive content that is relevant and thorough. Training provided in 2022 included Code of Conduct, Anti-Bribery and Conflicts of Interest. In 2023, we are training on Antitrust, Harassment, Confidential Information and Computer Security. Expanding on our global training and policies, we will provide training that is targeted and region-specific. This may be based on potential compliance risks identified for a region or the need to adhere to specific local laws and regulations. For example, we created and implemented region-specific policies for our Chinese sites that are available in the local language. We regularly communicate the importance of compliance and business ethics through training, wrien materials and our Arxada intranet. All employees have access to our whistleblower program, which includes a hotline and an online portal. The program is available 24/7, in all our operating languages, to allow employees to flag compliance issues they may observe. Employees who raise concerns and compliance issues are protected through our Whistleblower and Non-Retaliation Policy, ensuring anonymity. HIGHLIGHT Navigating business in a complex & interconnected world We have suspended all business operations in Russia since 1 April 2022. Our business in Russia represented an exceedingly small proportion of our operations, consisting of four employees working in our sales group. We have no manufacturing facilities in either Russia or Ukraine, nor do we receive any strategic raw materials from these countries. So far, the conflict has had only an extremely limited business impact on markets outside this region. As part of the global humanitarian eort that has been mobilized in response to the crisis, Arxada donated USD 100,000 to the International Medical Corps — an independent, not-for-profit organization that operates worldwide to provide emergency relief and long-term support to those aected by war, disaster and disease.
