Ethics
Charter

“Protection is not only what we design — it is how we decide.”

Introduction

Every product we design is trusted at the moment of highest vulnerability — on the road, the slope, in the line of duty. That level of trust demands integrity that goes beyond product specifications.

As an international Group, our responsibility extends to the way we treat people, the standards we uphold, and the expectations we set across our value chain.

“Trust is not declared. It is built — decision after decision.”

Consistent with the Sapin II Act & EU Whistleblower Protection Directive (2019/1937).

01 · HUMAN RIGHTS

The People Behind the Ride

Every person connected to 2Ride deserves to be treated with dignity, fairness and respect. This is not a legal baseline. It is our standard.

NO CHILD / FORCED LABOR
Free, voluntary, contracted employment throughout the full value chain.
NON-DISCRIMINATION
Zero tolerance. Evaluated on contribution, not on who you are.
FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION
Right to form or join representative bodies. Social dialogue welcomed.
PRIVACY & DATA
GDPR as our floor. Data never used beyond its stated purpose.
02 · WORKING CONDITIONS

Where Performance Starts

We commit to environments where people work safely, are fairly recognised, and can develop over the long term. This is not a target. It is a floor.

Zero compromise on safety. Fair compensation. Long-term employability. The same standards we uphold internally apply to our suppliers and production partners.

“Leaders define the real standard of the Group through what they challenge, what they tolerate, what they escalate — and what they protect.”

03
THE LINE WE NEVER CROSS
BUSINESS INTEGRITY

Zero corruption — No payment, gift or favor in any market, with any stakeholder.

Fair competition — No price-fixing, market allocation or bid-rigging.

Partner accountability — Same standards expected, monitored and enforceable.

We conduct business honestly, transparently and in full compliance with applicable laws — without exception.

THE INTEGRITY TEST

“Would we stand behind this agreement if it were fully visible? If not, it is not ready.”

04 · Environment

The Trail We Leave

“This is not a reporting obligation. It is a matter of coherence.”

CLIMATE & EMISSIONS

GHG monitoring across all scopes. Renewable energy transition active.

RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

Full traceability. No hazardous materials. Responsible minerals.

PRODUCT LIFECYCLE

Durability, repairability and recyclability integrated by design.

WASTE & WATER

What we can eliminate, we eliminate. The rest we measure.

05 · PRODUCT SAFETY

The Last Barrier

Our products are the last line of protection between a person and the impact. Every product must perform when it matters most. This defines a standard beyond regulatory compliance.

FIM #2 STANDARD

Regulatory compliance is our starting point — never our finish line. We apply the precautionary principle.

07 · Governance

Our Shared Responsibility

This Charter applies to every person who represents 2Ride — regardless of role, brand, market or seniority.

Board & Executive Committee

Set the tone. Ensure governance structures are in place.

Leaders & Managers

Lead by example. Create environments where concerns can be raised.

Every Employee

Act in line with this Charter. Speak up when something doesn't align.

Not acting is a decision. And it has consequences.

How to raise concerns

Speak up. Do not wait.

If you have a question or concern — about a decision, a situation or conduct you have witnessed: raise it immediately. Speaking up is your right and your responsibility.
