Whistleblowing
RARTEL encourages anyone who becomes aware of facts or behaviors contrary to the company’s values, codes and internal rules, law or regulations, and in particular anti-corruption laws, to make a report in the utmost confidentiality.
Reports may be about: Telespazio Group’s employees at all levels, Directors, Officers, Members of corporate bodies, Group Companies, third parties (e.g.: suppliers, consultants, collaborators, customers, etc.).
Reports may include, but are not limited to, the following concerns:
- attempted, alleged and actual acts of bribery put in place directly, indirectly or solicited by third parties (e.g.: suppliers, consultants, collaborators, customers);
- conflicts of interest or other violations of the Code of Ethics;
- unlawful and/or fraudulent activities causing harm to customers or to the company assets;
- violations related to the safety of workers.
In order to make an effective whistleblowing report, allowing the competent organizational units to investigate satisfactorily on the reported concerns, it is necessary to provide accurate and reliable facts, producing documentary evidence, if available.
Assuring confidentiality of the whistleblower, RARTEL offers the following channels to make a report:
RARTEL ensures protection from retaliation and other discriminatory and penalization actions against the whistleblower for reasons related, directly or indirectly, to the contents of her/his filed report.
