As illustrated in the “Policy for the management of reports”, and given that the Company has set up suitable internal reporting channels, compliant with the provisions of Legislative Decree 24/2023, reporting via the external channel activated by the National Anti-Corruption Authority (“ANAC”) is permitted only if the Reporter has:
(i) already made an internal report and it has not been followed up;
(ii) well-founded reasons to believe that, if an internal report were made, it would not be followed up effectively or the report itself could lead to the risk of retaliation; or
(iii) reasonable grounds to believe that the violation may constitute an imminent or obvious danger to the public interest.In the absence of the conditions indicated above, the report is not managed by ANAC and the subject does not benefit from the protections set out in the Legislative Decree. 24/2023.The external reporting channel activated by ANAC is available at the following link: https://whistleblowing.anticorruzione.it/
