Compliance & Risk Management

At Grove Foods, Inc., integrity and legally compliant conduct are firmly anchored in our corporate strategy. Our actions are guided by applicable law, internal standards, and ethical principles — across all locations and brands. For us, compliance is not just a formal requirement, but an expression of our attitude: transparent, fair, and responsible.

Our core values and principles of conduct are enshrined in our company-wide code of conduct. It serves as a guide for all employees in their day-to-day work, raises awareness of risks, and promotes a common understanding of ethical behavior within the company, toward business partners, and toward society.

Our compliance management system is based on three central pillars:

Prevention

We create clarity and security through targeted training, practical guidelines, regular communication, and individual consulting. In this way, we promote awareness of risks and reinforce compliant behavior throughout the company.


Detection

Potential violations are identified and professionally investigated via internal reporting channels and our confidential whistleblower system. We focus on fairness, transparency, and objective clarification — with the aim of maintaining trust and learning systematically. All reports are carefully reviewed and treated confidentially.


Response

In the event of a violation, we take decisive action: with appropriate measures, clear consequences, and structural adjustments. In this way, we protect not only the company, but also its employees and business partners.
 

Grove Foods does not tolerate discrimination or retaliation against individuals who, in good faith, report potential or actual violations of rules. This does not apply to reports that are knowingly false or made in bad faith.
