“Whistleblowing” is the section for reporting wrongdoing in the context of corruption prevention activities.

In implementation of Directive (EU) 2019/1937, Legislative Decree no. 24 of 10 March 2023 was issued regarding “the protection of persons reporting violations of Union law and containing provisions regarding the protection of persons reporting violations of national regulatory provisions”.

The new rules aim to introduce uniform protection mechanisms and measures for those who, to report facts or information relating to possible wrongdoing, may run the risk of being subjected to acts of retaliation that may, directly or indirectly, cause damage to their private or professional life.

Employees, consultants, suppliers, partners and service companies (stakeholders) can make their report by clicking here.

The confidentiality of the identity of the whistleblower is ensured in compliance with and within the limits of the law and guarantees him/her from any form of retaliation, discrimination or penalization.

The “Whistleblowing” supervisory report is par excellence an act of protection, through which the whistleblower contributes to the detection and prevention of risks and situations prejudicial to the Company and, consequently, to the collective public interest.

The identity of the whistleblower will be protected, guaranteeing its confidentiality, except in cases where, following special legal provisions, confidentiality and/or anonymity cannot be opposed (e.g. in the case of criminal, tax or administrative investigations, inspections, etc.).

In disciplinary proceedings, the identity of the whistleblower will not be revealed without his/her consent, unless knowledge of it is absolutely essential for the defence of the accused.

Outside of cases of liability for slander or defamation, or for the same reason pursuant to Article 2043 of the Civil Code. of the Civil Code, the person who reports unlawful conduct of which he has become aware also by reason of the employment relationship, cannot be sanctioned, fired or subjected to a discriminatory measure, having effects on the working conditions for reasons directly or indirectly connected to the report.

Any improper information, both in terms of content and form that should integrate the extremes of slander or defamation or outside of such cases of criminal relevance cause unjust damage, in addition to having criminal and/or civil relevance to compensation for damages will be subject in any case and in any case to the disciplinary sanctions provided for by the company’s sanctioning system.
