Effective Date: 01/07/2025

1. Purpose

This Code of Conduct ("Code") sets the minimum standards of behaviour expected of everyone acting on behalf of RBV Lifestyle Pvt. Ltd., trading as RANNG ("RANNG," "Company," "we") — including employees, directors, contractors, agency staff, and, where relevant, suppliers and business partners acting under RANNG's name. It applies across all locations where RANNG operates, including our manufacturing operations in India and our representative office in Germany.

2. Our Values

Everything covered by this Code is grounded in six commitments:
• Integrity and honesty — in how we deal with colleagues, clients, suppliers, and regulators.
• Respect and fairness — treating people equitably regardless of role or background.
• Legal compliance — meeting our obligations under Indian law and the laws of every market we serve.
• Quality and continuous improvement — in both our products and our processes.
• Confidentiality — protecting information entrusted to us by colleagues, clients, and partners.
• Sustainability — in sourcing, production, and how we treat the people and environment our work touches.

3. Compliance with Laws

Everyone covered by this Code must comply with applicable laws and regulations in every jurisdiction where RANNG operates or sells, including Indian law and, for our export business, relevant EU product safety, labour, environmental, and customs requirements. Ignorance of a legal requirement is not an excuse for non-compliance — if you're unsure whether something is permitted, ask before acting.

4. Anti-Bribery and Corruption

RANNG prohibits bribery, facilitation payments, and improper gifts or hospitality intended to influence a business decision, consistent with the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and applicable Indian anti-corruption law. Any offer or request of this kind — made or received — must be disclosed to your manager or reported through the channels in Section 12. Violations may result in disciplinary action and referral to the relevant authorities.
see: Anti-Bribary and Corruption Policy

5. Fair Competition and Ethical Business Practices

RANNG competes on the merit of its products and service. We do not engage in price fixing, bid rigging, unlawful sharing of competitor information, or misleading statements in marketing, sales, or procurement, and we expect the same from anyone representing us.

6. Conflicts of Interest

A conflict of interest arises when personal relationships, outside employment, financial interests, or family ties could influence — or appear to influence — a business decision made on RANNG's behalf. Anyone covered by this Code must disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest to their manager or to the contact in Section 12, including personal relationships with suppliers or clients, outside directorships or employment, financial interests in a competitor or supplier, and hiring or supervising close relatives. Disclosed conflicts will be managed through recusal from the relevant decision or other appropriate measures.

7. Respectful Workplace and Equal Opportunity

RANNG is committed to a workplace free of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, regardless of gender, age, disability, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation, and to gender equality and cultural diversity across our operations, consistent with our support for UN Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 10. In line with India's Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act), complaints of workplace sexual harassment are handled by
RANNG's Internal Committee (IC): [NAME / CONTACT DETAILS OF INTERNAL COMMITTEE].

8. Health and Safety

RANNG prioritises the safety of everyone in our facilities. This means complying with applicable health and safety regulations and our own internal standards — aligned with ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management) — using required protective equipment, and reporting hazards, near-misses, or incidents immediately to a supervisor.

9. Human Rights and Responsible Sourcing

RANNG upholds the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and applicable International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions. We prohibit child labour, forced or bonded labour, and inhumane treatment anywhere in our operations or supply chain, and we are committed to fair wages and freedom of association. We conduct due diligence on suppliers to confirm they meet the same ethical, environmental, and social standards we hold ourselves to.

10. Data Protection, Confidentiality, and Information Security

Confidential business information — including client data, designs, technical packs, and personal data processed in line with our Privacy Policy and applicable GDPR requirements — may only be accessed and used for legitimate business purposes, and must not be disclosed outside RANNG without authorisation. Suspected data breaches or security incidents must be reported immediately to your manager or IT contact.

11. Company Assets and Acceptable Use

Company equipment, systems, and facilities are provided for legitimate business use. Do not use RANNG's assets for illegal activity, install unauthorised or unlicensed software, or knowingly introduce malware or security risks to our systems.

12. Reporting Concerns (Speak Up)

If you become aware of a violation of this Code — or suspect one — you're expected to report it.
You can raise a concern through any of the following, in good faith and without fear of retaliation:
• [COMPLIANCE/ETHICS EMAIL]
• [WHISTLEBLOWING PORTAL / HOTLINE, IF ANY]
• Your manager, HR contact, or — for workplace harassment matters — the Internal Committee named in Section 7. RANNG does not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, even if the concern turns out to be mistaken.

13. Enforcement and Consequences

Violations of this Code may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment or engagement, and — for suppliers and business partners — termination of the business relationship. Some violations may also carry civil or criminal liability under applicable law. Where appropriate, RANNG may require corrective training or process changes rather than, or in addition to, disciplinary action.

14. Ownership and Review

This Code is owned by [ROLE/TITLE — e.g. Managing Director] and is reviewed at least annually. Next scheduled review: [DATE].
