Global Human Rights Policy

At Huhtamaki, corporate responsibility is at the core of how we operate. This Policy reflects
Huhtamaki’s commitment to human rights as set forth in the United Nations International Bill of Human Rights, and taking into account the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Our commitment extends beyond the work environment to the global communities where we live, work and serve. The company recognizes that our global operations are conducted amid a diversity of cultures and environments.

The company’s commitment to human rights is grounded in Huhtamaki values, which
are the foundation on which we conduct business. Our values Care, Dare, Deliver are
being true to our legacy, whilst driving a forward-looking daring mindset. These values
are set forth in our Global Code of Conduct.

We are committed to the following principles:
