CREATION OF INTERNAL REPORTING CHANNELS
Legislative Decree 24/2023 implementing the European Directive 1937/2019 provides for the creation of in-company channels for the communication of offenses. in In compliance with this regulation, AC75 Startup Accelerator S.p.a. has set up an electronic reporting channel which can be activated from its website (https://ac75sa.segnalazioni.net/)
Reports can also be made anonymously and even in oral form through the “segnalazioni.net”
( “reports.net”) dedicated platform managed by Digital PA, a third party that guarantees independence and confidentiality.
The report may contain information on violations, i.e. those behaviors, actions or omissions that harm the public interest or the integrity of the public administration or company and which, among others, may consist of administrative, accounting, civil or criminal offenses, violations of the rules that fall within the scope of European Union regulations.
Reporting may also be made as a result of well-founded suspicions regarding violations committed or which, based on concrete elements, might be committed within the Company, as well as elements regarding conduct aimed at concealing such violations.
However, reports based on mere suppositions or “rumors” as well as reports concerning information in the public domain, shall not be sent.
The rule expressly excludes complaints of a personal nature by the whistleblower, or claims/requests that fall within the discipline of the employment relationship or relations with the line manager or colleagues, for which reference to the H.R. Department shall be made.
Once the report has been sent, the platform will notify the Reporting Officer, an external expert professional possessing adequate skills and abilities who is required to maintain strict confidentiality.
The Reporting Officer ‘acts’ between the whistleblower and the company, interacting with them through the platform; nevertheless, in all cases where it is deemed unnecessary, the whistleblower’s identity cannot be disclosed to the Reporting Officer, even if the report was made in non-anonymous form.
Should the whistleblower deem it appropriate, he/she can also request a meeting with the Reporting Officer , through the platform.
Further and more detailed information is available in the “Procedure for reporting offences and irregularities” published on the website https://ac75sa.segnalazioni.net/
