Anticorruption Policy
The RGI Group is firmly committed to combating corruption in all its forms, aware of the negative effects of corrupt practices on economic and social development and the reputational damage that can result from the violation of anti-corruption regulations. The RGI Group places values such as transparency, ethics and respect for legality at the core of its corporate culture, all fundamental elements to promote an environment marked by business integrity.
In carrying out its activities, the RGI Group adopts a "zero tolerance" policy toward all corrupt behaviour, committing itself to preventing the risks of unlawful practices at all levels and in all geographical areas. This commitment is realized through the dissemination and promotion of ethical principles, the adoption of clear rules of conduct and the implementation of rigorous control processes, in compliance with applicable regulations and international best practices.
As a concrete demonstration of the RGI Group's commitment to fighting corruption, a Compliance Program has been adopted, that is based on a solid architecture of principles and tools. At the heart of this system lies the Code of Conduct, which defines the core values by which the RGI Group is inspired to achieve its objectives and the essential principles for responsible business management. The Group Compliance Program is further enriched by the adoption of a Group Anti-Corruption Policy. In addition, RGI S.p.A., the parent company, has adopted the Organisation, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, which keeps constantly updated to respond effectively to regulatory and operational requirements, which is also relevant for the subsidiaries for their respective areas of responsibility.
In particular, the Group Anti-Corruption Policy defines concrete measures to prevent and fight all forms of corruption, both in the public and private sectors.
The Group Anti-Corruption Policy is prepared for application to all subsidiaries, in the countries in which they operate, providing for each company a useful framework for the identification, review and achievement of anti-corruption objectives defined in accordance with the Policy.
With the aim of providing its recipients a useful tool, the Group Anti-Corruption Policy not only contains general principles with which the recipients must comply, but also provides:
- types of prohibited conduct and the supplementary elements of the individual cases, both in the public and private sectors
- prohibited conduct in relation to other crimes with the Public Administration
- specific examples of forms of corruption in the different sensitive areas identified in the RGI Group.
Taken together, all of these tools constitute an integrated system of rules and principles that guide the day-to-day actions of the RGI Group, ensuring that activities are conducted ethically and in full compliance with current regulations, strengthening the effectiveness of our approach to managing the risk of wrongdoing and promoting transparent and accountable corporate governance.
For the RGI Group, operating with integrity is not only an ethical duty, but a core value that guides our strategy and relationship with employees, customers, suppliers, and other business partners as well as the communities in which we operate.
