Whistleblowing Policy
Overview
In accordance with Italian law, our company is committed to fostering a transparent and ethical work environment. We recognize the importance of whistleblowing in promoting accountability and preventing misconduct. The Italian legislative framework supports and protects individuals who come forward with information about illegal or unethical activities within the organization.
Key Points:
- Legal Protection: Italian law safeguards whistleblowers from retaliation. Employees reporting in good faith are protected against any form of discrimination or adverse action.
- Confidentiality: The company ensures confidentiality to the maximum extent allowed by law for whistleblowers. Identity protection measures are in place to encourage open reporting.
- Reporting Mechanism: An accessible and confidential reporting mechanism is provided for employees to report concerns. This includes an anonymous reporting channel, ensuring that individuals feel secure when coming forward with information.
- Non-Retaliation Commitment: The company prohibits any form of retaliation against individuals who report in good faith. This commitment extends to employees, contractors, and other stakeholders.
- Investigation Process: Reports will be promptly and thoroughly investigated by designated individuals or teams. The investigation process will be fair, impartial, and in compliance with applicable laws.
- Communication Channels: The company will communicate updates on the status of the investigation within the bounds of confidentiality and legal requirements.
- Disciplinary Actions: If wrongdoing is identified, appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken. This may include corrective measures, employee training, or, if necessary, legal actions.
By implementing this whistleblowing policy, our company underscores its dedication to ethical conduct, compliance with the law, and the creation of a workplace that values integrity. We encourage all employees to utilize this mechanism responsibly, contributing to the overall well-being and ethical standards of our organization.
