Organisational, Management and Control Model

In accordance with their own company policies, the companies in the Alfa Acciai Group have deemed it appropriate to adopt Organisational, Management and Control Models complying with the requirements set forth by Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 and has seized the opportunity to acquire adequate tools for the analysis and control of corporate risks. Based on their specificity and organisation and industrial scope of action, each Group company has identified the areas subject to the risk of administrative liability deriving therefrom:

  • Manslaughter and serious or very serious personal injury due to negligence committed in breach of occupational health and safety rules;
  • Crimes relating to protection of the environment.

 

The principles of behaviour and the protocols listed in the Organisational Model are the backbone and ideally harmonize with the procedures adopted by each Company and the integrated management systems, the company organisational charts and the existing task and authority allocation systems.

The Organisational Model adopted by each company in the Alfa Acciai Group is divided into a general section and two special ones.

The General Section illustrates the regulatory framework, the recipients of the Model and the disciplinary system aimed at sanctioning violations to the provisions of the Model. The tasks and authority of the Supervisory Body are also identified. Reference is made to the contents of the Code of Ethics adopted by the Company.

The two Special Sections provide a detailed description of:

  • The corporate organisation of health and safety in the workplace, with particular reference to the processes aimed at ensuring the fulfilment of the legal obligations envisaged by art. 30 of Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 as amended;
  • The corporate organisation of the environment, with particular reference to processes aimed at ensuring the fulfilment of the legal obligations envisaged by Italian Legislative Decree 152/2006 as amended, the Environmental Impact Permit (EIP) and/or permits issued by the competent authorities in view of preventing environmental crimes as envisaged by Legislative Decree 231/2001.

Supervisory Body and Reporting

For each of its companies, the Alfa Acciai Group has set up a Supervisory Body (SB), whose job is to supervise the effective implementation of the organisational  model, and review and update it.

The Supervisory Body is a body whose members are properly qualified and are in possession of the technological and professional skills that guarantee continuity of action, autonomy and independence of the management in performing their duties. It is identified as an independent body hierarchically placed at the summit of the pyramid of command, and its decisions are final and undisputable.

The supervisory body must be informed of any proven or alleged breach to the Model, the occurrence of unlawful conduct falling under the scope of decree 231, as well as of any comments regarding the appropriateness of the system, by highlighting any gaps found. In this regard, each company in the Alfa Acciai Group has prepared specific reporting channels, pursuant to art. 6 of Legislative Decree 231/2001, including:

 

Non-anonymous reports shall be accepted only if they contain sufficient circumstantial evidence of decisive facts and situations.

In compliance with the protection guaranteed to those who make reports in good faith (so-called whistleblowers), the Alfa Acciai Group ensure the right to confidentiality of reporting subjects and protect them against any form of direct or indirect retaliation and acts of discrimination or unjustified disciplinary actions for reasons associated, directly or indirectly, with the reporting, including disciplinary sanctions against those who violate whistleblower protection measures.

The Antitrust Code of Conduct:

  • Clarifies the legal reference framework of antitrust law, by identifying behaviours that are in conflict with this discipline;
  • Identifies the areas in which the greatest risk of antitrust violations can be found;
  • Provides guidance on the steps to be taken to prevent the occurrence of potentially critical situations and control them appropriately;
  • Highlights the importance to adopting behaviours that comply with the competition rules from an ethical and social point of view.

 

The Antitrust Code of Conduct identifies an Antitrust Compliance Officer to whom any non-compliant behaviours can be reported.
