CHARACTERISTICS OF THE REPORT

MANAGEMENT OF THE REPORTS

In order to protect as much as possible the “whistleblower” and the “signaled person”, security measures have been adopted: regardless of the choice made by the “whistleblower” to make an anonymous or non-anonymous report (as indicated in the following point 6), confidentiality of the whistleblower identity of the content of the report are guaranteed through secure protocols and cryptographic tools that protect personal data and information provided. The identity of the whistleblower is never disclosed without his consent, with the exception of the cases provided for by current legislation. The competent body for the management of reports is the Compliance Officer or the Organismo di Vigilanza in the cases provided by the law.
