| Purpose and layout |
|
The Code of Conduct (hereinafter also referred to as the Code) is an official corporate document introduced by the Company and laying down the principles it undertakes to abide by and to ensure the observance of. The Code, therefore, is the corporate ethical tool aimed at formally defining the principles and standards the Company intends to apply and enforce, within its organisation, to create the conditions for properly implementing dedicated policies and processes.
The Code also represents one of the tools put into place by the Company to effectively monitor, prevent and oppose breaches of the applicable legal requirements. In particular, this Code of Conduct is incorporated in and made a part of the Company’s Organisational, Management and Internal Monitoring Model, which has been implemented to prevent the commission of offences, pursuant to Legislative Decrees 231/01 and 61/02 and related enforcement regulations.
The need to formalise these provisions is based on the management’s desire to comply with the provisions set forth in Legislative Decree 231/01, relating to the administrative liability of legal persons.
This further confirms the Company’s commitment to constantly update its Organisational, Management and Internal Monitoring Model, with a view to suitably and effectively preventing any illegal or unfaithful conduct liable to negatively affect its corporate image. This Code of Conduct, therefore, is viewed as the tool through which to prevent or prohibit any action or behaviour that is manifestly out of keeping with the Company’s ethical guidelines, even if it has no criminal consequences.
A part of the provisions set out herein, in fact, makes specific reference to the offences referred to in articles 24, 25, 25-bis, 25-ter, 25-quater, 25-quinqiues, 25-sexies of Legislative Decree 231/01.
More precisely, the Code lays down a set of rules of conduct and of principles to be observed by the recipients, in their relations with a number of (public and private sector) entities, among which a prominent – albeit non-exclusive role – is played by the Public Administration system, namely public sector employees and the providers of public services.
The Code was approved by the Board of Directors on 26/05/2006 and is now an official document of the company.
It consists of three sections, as follows: |
| |
 |
Values: which defines the ethical framework for guiding corporate behaviour and decision-making; |
|
 |
| Principles: which defines the guidelines to be complied with, in respect of significant fields of activity, and the responsibilities with respect to relations with the Company’s key stakeholders; |
|
|
|
Enforcement, monitoring and disciplinary processes: which identifies the persons accountable under the Code of Conduct; defines the scope of application of the principles and rules of conduct; sets up the corporate supervisory and monitoring body; defines the disciplinary system; and defines Code-related communication procedures. |

| Disciplinary code |
|
This Disciplinary Code has been compiled in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/2001 of 8 June 2001 (hereinafter, the Decree). Articles 6 and 7 of the Decree, in fact, establish that business undertakings shall be exonerated from the administrative and criminal responsibility introduced by the Decree, provided that they put into place an Organisational, Management and Internal Monitoring Model (hereinafter, the Model), suited to preventing the commission of the offences defined in the Decree, and linked to a system of “disciplinary” sanctions to be imposed for breaches of the rules set out therein.
In order to set up a suitable Disciplinary System for enforcing the rules set out in the Model, and to finalise the Model itself, Angelantoni S.p.A. has compiled this Code, taking into consideration the fact that the commission – or conspiracy to commit – the offences referred to in the Decree is already punished by the Criminal Code, with which this Disciplinary Code has no relation. Therefore, the rules and sanctions referred to herein supplement – and do not replace – the applicable legal provisions and the disciplinary measures laid down in the national collective agreements and may, therefore, be applied regardless of the outcome of any criminal proceedings for the same matters.
This Disciplinary Code takes into account the objective normative differences between corporate officers and managers, employees and third parties acting in the name and/or on behalf of the Company, and has been compiled in pursuance of articles 2118 and 2119 of the Civil Code, of Law 300/1970 (the so-called “Workers’ Statute”), and the applicable National Collective Agreements.
The disciplinary process hereunder – and the application of the relevant sanctions – shall also take account of the legal classification of and the regulations applicable to the employment relationships.
The following rules, therefore, govern the disciplinary system set up and the range of sanctions imposed by the Company, in connection with the failure to observe and abide by its corporate organisational processes and Code of Conduct, which have been adopted to prevent the commission of the offences set out in the Decree, and their aim is to define: |
| |
|
| the sanctions applicable to each employee category; |
|
|
|
the relevant principles of proportionality. |
