Data Protection and Privacy
Moberg Pharma and all of its employees shall be committed to complying with applicable
privacy and information security laws and regulations, including but not limited to the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), when personal data is collected, stored, processed,
transmitted, and shared, including with regard to the personal data of suppliers, customers,

Whistleblowing
Whistleblowing entails that an employee who has identified irregularities or potential
irregularities reports this to a unit that can act to put a stop to the irregularities in question.
Examples of irregularities are breaches of laws and internal regulations and guidelines.
Whistleblowing is positive for the individual employee, the Group and society since it
provides an opportunity to resolve the irregularities in question. There are many reasons why
it is positive to speak out: it would be ethically correct, it would be necessary on the basis of
law and regulations and saying nothing could jeopardize the company’s image. Accordingly,
people who show civil courage and are prepared to speak out about irregularities are an
important resource for Moberg Pharma.
All employees are entitled to report irregularities. In the first instance, the employees can
always make a report in writing or orally to the immediate superior or to the CEO. All
employees can also choose to contact Konrad Ziobro, who is the contact person for
whistleblowing.

Although it is possible to speak out completely anonymously, openness is normally a better
way of dealing with such matters and also leads to a better result for all parties.
Responsibility
While it is the responsibility of Moberg Pharma’s managers to ensure that all employees
within the company are familiar with the company’s Code of Conduct, it is the individual’s
responsibility to comply with it. Breaches of Moberg Pharma’s Code of Conduct could lead to
disciplinary sanctions.
