Whistleblowing

What is it

The Institute for the Protection of Employees or Collaborators Reporting Wrongdoings (Article 2, paragraph 1, letter a of Legislative Decree no. 24 of 2023) aims to regulate the reporting process within the company of crimes, wrongdoings, violations, or other irregularities defined by the aforementioned Decree by a subject who has become aware of them due to their employment relationship. It provides, for the whistleblower, a specific regime of protections recognized by the law, even in cases where discriminatory and retaliatory measures are taken against the whistleblower as a consequence of the reported wrongdoing.
