WHISTLEBLOWING

In compliance with applicable legislation, Fincantieri has adopted a Whistleblowing procedure, which provides procedures and conditions for filing internal reports, as well as the conditions for the use of the external channel. The Group Compliance, Anti-Corruption and Model 231 Function has been identified as the body responsible for managing the reports.

 

 

WHAT IS IT
