WHISTLEBLOWING - D.lgs 24/2023

The term whistleblowing refers to the activity of reporting illicit acts or irregularities committed within an organisation.

The legislation on whistleblowing, of Community origin, has undergone a significant evolution in recent years: from an initial duty of specific subjects in certain matters (for example in the tax field), whistleblowing is now a right extended to a broad category of subjects, including in the private sector.

Legislative Decree 24/2023, which literally “regulates the protection of persons who report violations of national or European Union regulatory provisions that harm the public interest or the integrity of the public administration or private entity, of which they have become aware in a public or private work context”, collects in a single regulatory text the entire regulation of reporting channels and protections recognised to whistleblowers in both the public and private sectors. The result is an organic and uniform regulation aimed at greater protection of the reporting subject (so-called whistleblower).

. 

THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCEDURE

As anticipated, whistleblowing is an act with which a person within the company contributes to bringing to light and preventing risks and situations that are detrimental to the company itself.

The main purpose of whistleblowing is, therefore, to resolve (or, if possible, prevent) problems created by a management irregularity, allowing critical issues to be addressed quickly and with the necessary confidentiality.

This Procedure, therefore, has been prepared to regulate the management of the irregularity report, starting from the moment in which the reporter decides to forward it until subsequent developments, in compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 24/2023.
