Whistleblowing
Sitta srl has activated its own internal reporting channel pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 24/2023 so that the reporting persons, as defined by the aforementioned legislative decree, can report, both with reference to the commercial operations of Sitta srl and with regard to the commercial activities of the relevant direct or indirect suppliers, any relevant conduct pursuant to the Legislative Decree. 231/01 and other actual or presumed improper conduct or illicit acts, such as, by way of example and not limited to: reports of alleged offenses (violations of European and national laws and regulations or of internal rules which entail a concrete obligation established by the employer work under the law, or acts or omissions that endanger public health, personal safety, the environment and/or public services and affect the public interest), violation of competition law, corruption, fraud and misappropriation, money laundering money, conflict of interest, tax crimes, discrimination/harassment, human rights, violation of fair terms and conditions of employment (see Social Accountability standard 8000:2014), violations of other applicable laws or of the Sitta srl Code of Ethics.
Reports can be sent via the internal reporting channel in written form through the platform accessible from the company website at https://www.sittasrl.it
Furthermore, if the conditions set out in art. 6 of Legislative Decree no. 24/2023, it is possible to use the external reporting channels set up by the National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) – www.anticorruzione.it.
It is always possible, both for employees and external parties, to make reports anonymously, without providing any contact details. Anonymity can be maintained during all phases of management of the Report, through an "asynchronous chat", to be used to communicate continuously with the office responsible for collecting and managing the Report. Regardless of the Reporter's decision to provide his/her contact details or not, the Reporter's identity will always be kept confidential and will not be disclosed without the prior explicit consent of the Reporter.
The identity may only be revealed to the persons appointed, also pursuant to the legislation on the protection of personal data, to receive reports or undertake follow-up actions.
The procedure ensures that Reports are managed in an objective and effective manner, illustrating the follow-up activities of the Reports and the time usually spent on the related management. The Reporter will receive an "initial response" (acknowledgement of receipt) within 7 days from the date of receipt of the Report. The Reporter will receive feedback on the Report within 3 months from the date of sending the "initial response". The Recipient (instructing user) of the Report immediately checks whether the Report received can be considered plausible or not and proceeds to always diligently follow up on the Report, remaining in contact with the Reporter until the conclusion of the procedure and communicating the outcome of the investigations and any measures taken.
The knowledge acquired as part of the Reporting procedure is continuously re-evaluated and used to improve the procedure itself and the related risk management systems. A functioning and effective reporting procedure can highlight existing risks and help Sitta srl maintain its integrity and compliance in the future
