86 Fair business and operating practices A prerequisite in our business and operational practices is the fair, ethical and legally compliant behavior of all our employees. You can find more information about this from page 46 onwards. Fairness toward shareholders It is a key part of our corporate culture to engage in an active exchange with our shareholders. We work closely with our shareholders and see them as both dialog partners and consultants. We therefore ensure that their feedback and, inputs feed into our strategies and business activities. The result of this is a shared system for the creation of added value. The shareholders of RBI AG exercise their rights according to the principle of “one share, one vote”, by voting at the Annual General Meeting. All shareholders have entirely equal rights, and can exercise their right to vote in person or by proxy. The RZB Group adheres to the three principles of each financial operation: Yield (share price and dividend policy), security of investment, and availability of capital. Naturally, we have a great responsibility toward our shareholders, which is why the optimization of shareholder value is part of our corporate vision. We are not interested solely in short-term increases in value. Good profitability, which we can use to build up equity from within, and a long-term profitable development of the RZB Group are good not only for owners and shareholders but also for all other stakeholders because they safeguard our common existence.
