With Legislative Decree No. 24/2023, the EU Directive 2019/1937 on "the protection of persons who report breaches of national or European Union law" (so-called Whistleblowing discipline) was transposed into Italian law.

It is a discipline aimed at detecting, counteracting and preventing unlawful phenomena, conduct or prejudicial acts in public and private organisations.

The aim is to regulate and facilitate the process of reporting violations of national or EU regulatory provisions, which harm the public interest or the integrity of the private entity to which a person has become aware of in his or her work context.

The application of the legislation and the channels identified for whistleblowing are only aimed at always guaranteeing the confidentiality of the whistleblower, the reported person and the other persons involved or mentioned in the report, as well as the prohibition of and protection against any form of retaliation.

Companies are therefore obliged to activate an appropriate internal reporting channel that ensures confidentiality and allows for written or oral reports.

The channels adopted by our company are an encrypted e-mail and a dedicated toll-free number.
