How to make a report
The report can be made using the web channel, through the Ethic Point website suitable for guaranteeing maximum confidentiality of the identity of the reporter with IT methods in compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 24/2023.
The following may make a report:
- all employees of Faba s.r.l., regardless of their contractual classification;
- self-employed workers, collaborators, freelancers, consultants, volunteers and trainees of Faba s.r.l.;
- shareholders and persons who hold administrative, management, supervisory control or representation roles within Faba s.r.l.
The Report must be detailed, i.e. made with a sufficient level of detail to allow the facts reported to be ascertained and must concern:
a) unlawful conduct relevant pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 and violations of the Organization, Management and Control Model adopted by Faba s.r.l.;
b) unlawful acts that fall within the scope of application of the European Union or national acts listed in the Annex to Legislative Decree 24/2023 or of the internal legislation that constitutes their implementation of the European law acts indicated in the Annex to Directive (EU) 2019/1937;
c) acts or omissions detrimental to the financial interests of the European Union protected pursuant to art. 325 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;
d) acts or omissions concerning the internal market pursuant to art. 26.2 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, including violations of the rules on competition and State aid, as well as corporate taxes;
e) any conduct likely to frustrate the object or purpose of the provisions set out in the acts of the Union in the sectors identified in points (b), (c) and (d);
f) any other possible administrative, accounting, civil and criminal offence of any nature, other than the previous ones.
Reports pursuant to art. 1 paragraph 2 of Legislative Decree 24/2023 must not concern:
- disputes, claims or requests for a personal interest of the reporting person that relate exclusively to their individual working relationships, including with hierarchically superior figures;
- reports of violations already regulated on a mandatory basis by the Community acts listed in Part II of the Annex to Legislative Decree 24/2023;
- the matter of national security and defence.
The whistleblower must not be discriminated as a result of the report in compliance with the provisions of Articles 16 and 17 of Legislative Decree 24/2023, if at the time of reporting he or she has reasonable grounds to believe that the information on the reported violations is true and falls within the relevant ones. On the contrary, the benefit of the whistleblower's protection lapses when criminal liability for defamation or slander crimes or, in any case, for crimes committed with the filing of the complaint is ascertained, even with a first-instance judgment, or when civil liability of the whistleblower is ascertained in cases of fraud or gross negligence. Faba s.r.l. reserves the right to act to protect its own interests also in defense of the injured parties.
In order to ensure maximum protection of the guarantee of their privacy, when making the report the whistleblower must:
- use only personal information devices;
- register on the online platform and make reports using a personal email address.
