Fair business and operating practices
A prerequisite in our business and operational practices is the fair, ethical and legally compliant behavior of all
members of our staff. You can find more information about this on page 41.
Fairness toward shareholders
A key part of our corporate culture is in-depth communication with our shareholders. We work closely with our
shareholders and see them as both dialogue partners and consultants. That’s why we ensure that their feedback
and input is used in our strategies and operations. 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.
RBI 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 optimizing shareholder value
is part of our corporate vision. We are not interested in short-term increase in value. Good profitability, which we
can use to build up equity from within, and a long-term profitable development of RBI are good not only for owners
and shareholders but also for all other stakeholders. They safeguard our common existence.
