ANTI-CORRUPTION FUNCTION (WHISTLEBLOWING)
OBJECTIVES
 
Employees and third parties, through the reporting system, may report any issues related to non-compliance with the company procedures adopted by Samer & Co. Shipping S.p.A., as well as any violations of national and European Union regulations. The preferred method for sending a report is the non-anonymous form, as it makes it easier to ascertain the facts and possibly collect additional information.
The adopted system meets the requirements of Legislative Decree 24/2023 implementing Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on 'the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law and laying down provisions concerning the protection of persons who report breaches of national regulatory provisions.'
 
WHAT TO REPORT

Examples, which are not exhaustive, of possible reports include:
    - conflict-of-interest situations that are believed to be unknown to the company;
    - acts of corruption by third parties toward employees or by employees toward third parties;
    - fraud;
    - misuse of company assets;
    - intentional communication of false information to public authorities;
    - possible violations of national and European Union regulations;
    - ....

Reports that are vague, unsubstantiated, or that are clearly made in bad faith or have libelous or defamatory content will not be considered.
 
HOW TO COMMUNICATE

The Company provides for the use of two alternative reporting channels:
 
1. Online platform
