Whistleblowing
Whistleblowing is the legal framework designed to safeguard individuals who report or publicly disclose information about violations acquired within the scope of their employment context.
With the activation of the internal reporting channel, individuals falling within the specific category as identified by Legislative Decree 24/2023, entitled “Implementation of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019, concerning the protection of persons reporting breaches of Union law and laying down provisions related to the protection of persons reporting breaches of national legislative provisions” are given the opportunity to report information regarding violations they have become aware of within the scope of their employment context.
It is managed by an entity designated by the corporate administrative leadership, endowed with autonomy, independence, impartiality, and professionalism, for the purpose of evaluating and handling, in accordance with internal procedures, the entire process of the report. This is to ensure that all rights reserved by law to individuals involved in the reported matter are upheld.
The reporting channel adopts cutting-edge technical and organizational security measures aimed at ensuring the protection of personal data and the confidentiality of the identity of the reporting person, the involved individual, and anyone mentioned in the report, as well as the content of the report and any attached documentation.
All information regarding the channel, procedures, and requirements for making a report—whether internal or external—is made available in documents titled “Whistleblowing Policy” and “Charter of Rights on Whistleblowing.”
