Whistleblowing

The Company, member of ADR Group, has implemented a Whistleblowing Management process, updated in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 24 of 10 March 2023 on the Implementation of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of EU law national laws.

The key features of the whistleblowing management framework are:

• a Whistleblowing Team in charge of receiving and handling whistleblowing; the Whistleblowing Team is composed of the heads of the functions (i) Internal Audit (acting as Coordinator), (ii) Human Capital, Organization & Procurement, (iii) General Counsel & Compliance, (iv) Chief Financial Officer , (v) Risk Governance & Compliance;
• reporting channels dedicated to receiving and processing whistleblowings.

The Whistleblowing Team is entrusted with activities related to receiving and managing whistleblowings.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the reporting process and provide total and non-discriminatory access to all those who wish to make a Report, the Company provides an IT platform, accessible to all (employees, third parties, etc.) where a written or oral Report may be submitted.

According to L.D. 24/2023,  oral reports may also be made through a direct contact with the Whistleblowing Team or one or more of its members, at the request of the whistleblower. Such request can be submitted via the platform or addressed to one of the Whistleblowing Team members.

Reports can also be made orally by calling the voice mailbox on +39 0281480081, entering the code 4289 to identify ADR Group and following the instructions of the voicemail.
The confidentiality of reports is secured by tone and voice distortion systems. 

Although anonymous whistleblowings are a feasible alternative, whistleblowers are encouraged to prefer nominative whistleblowings for the benefit of the speed and effectiveness of investigations, with confidentiality protections guaranteed as per the Whistleblowing Policy.

Please note that, in accordance with art. 19 of Legislative Decree No. 24/2023, any retaliation you believe you have incurred may be reported to the National Anticorruption Authority (ANAC) through the appropriate channel activated and operated by ANAC.

For further details, please refer to the reporting management policy, which can be consulted on this web page.

In accordance with Legislative Decree no. 24/2023 and the Whistleblowing Policy, the whistleblower will be notified, through the channel used, of receipt of the report within 7 days from receipt and will be provided with feedback on the follow-up to the report within 3 months from receipt.
