On a formal level, it is based on a series of documents which are to be considered as a single manual made up of several sections.
The manual consists of a “general” part, a “special” part and two accessory sections: the disciplinary system and the catalogue of 231 offenses. This division responds to the need for a more efficient future update, given that the various documents are which can be updated separately, each with a code and an edition date that will allow to keep track of it and safeguard the confidentiality of certain sections (e.g. the types of activities sensitive to the risk of crime which will be detailed in the Special Part of the Model). To further oversee the corporate organization aimed at preventing crimes,there is the corporate Code of Ethics which expresses the ethical and ethical principles that the Company recognizes as its patrimony of values and on which it calls for compliance by all those who work for the achievement of social objectives.
The Organizational Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/01 adopted to ensure healthy and correct management also includes the ” WhistleBlowing ” procedure.
Article 6, paragraph 1, lett. b) of Legislative Decree 231/2001 requires, as a condition for seeing the exemption of administrative liability recognized, that a body of the Company, endowed with “autonomous powers of initiative and control”, be entrusted with the task of supervising the operation and compliance with the provisions of the Model, as well as supervising its updating.
Graded has appointed a collegial Supervisory Body (SB) consisting of three external members, guaranteeing all the prerogatives of autonomy, professionalism and independence explained above, which remains in office for three years from the date of appointment, unless otherwise determined by the administrative body.
The Supervisory Body must be informed of events that could generate Graded’s liability pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 by means of special reports from employees, corporate bodies, suppliers, consultants and individuals in general with whom the Company has relationships.
