Whistleblowing
DELTA B&B S.R.L. (Tax ID 03548200280), with registered office in Abano Terme (PD) at Via Flacco No. 99, ZIP Code 35031, represented by itsacting pro tempore, has implemented a whistleblowing management system in compliance with the regulatory requirements regarding whistleblowing set forth in Legislative Decree No. 24/2023 (which transposes into Italian law Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of October 23, 2019, on the protection of persons reporting on breaches of Union law and laying down provisions regarding the protection of persons reporting on breaches of national law), thereby promoting transparency and high ethical standards.
Employees and third parties may submit reports in writing, orally, or in person regarding information on violations that they—that is, the whistleblowers (so-called “whistleblowers”) have become aware of in the workplace and which they believe may constitute a violation of the rules governing the Company’s activities.
Behaviors, acts, or omissions that harm the public interest or integrity may be reported: This includes information—including well-founded suspicions—regarding violations that have been committed or that, based on concrete evidence, may be committed within the organization with which the whistleblower has a legal relationship, as well as conduct intended to conceal such violations.
DELTA B&B S.R.L., in accordance with the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 24/2023, ensures the protection of whistleblowers acting in good faith against any act, action, or retaliatory conduct directly or indirectly related to the report.
The whistleblower must act in good faith, submitting detailed reports based on precise and consistent factual evidence. The whistleblower must refrain from making reports that are clearly unfounded or unsubstantiated; therefore, in cases of unfounded reports and/or those made in bad faith, DELTA B&B S.R.L. reserves the right to take action to defend its interests and protect the affected parties.
The provisions of Legislative Decree No. 24/2023 do not apply, however, “to complaints, claims, or requests related to a personal interest of the reporting person that pertain exclusively to their individual employment or public service relationships, or that concern their employment or public service relationships with superiors.” Furthermore, the report may not concern information that is already in the public domain.
To achieve the objectives set forth in Legislative Decree 24/2023, DELTA B&B S.R.L. has established an internal reporting channel that protects the confidentiality of the identity of the reporter, the person involved, and any other person mentioned in the report, as well as the content of the report and the related documentation.
This internal reporting channel (which includes all the reporting methods listed below) is managed by the Calvello Law Firm, represented by Attorney Claudio Calvello, a member of the Padua Bar Association, who is an external party to the company, independent, and specifically trained.
Internal reports may be submitted through the following channels provided by the Company:
- IT platform: https://whistlesblow.it/c/delta-bandb-srl/1
- A face-to-face, confidential meeting with Attorney Claudio Calvello: by appointment, which can be scheduled by calling 049.8668202 and stating “Whistleblowing Report.” In this case, with the reporter’s consent, the meeting will be documented in writing to process the report.
The online platform is the preferred tool for submitting and managing reports, as it is best suited to ensuring, through digital means, the confidentiality of the reporter’s identity and adequate information security measures.
In any case, the Whistleblowing Officer, Mr. Claudio Calvello, Esq., guarantees that the information received will be handled with the utmost care and absolute confidentiality.
Upon receiving a report, Attorney Claudio Calvello sends the reporter, within seven days, a notice of receipt and acknowledgment that the matter has been taken up. He then follows up on the report, maintaining communication with the reporter and requesting any necessary clarifications or additional documentation or information. Once he has verified that the conditions set forth in Legislative Decree 24/23 are met, he conducts the investigations he deems appropriate and provides a response to the reporter within three months of the date of the acknowledgment of receipt or, in the absence of such an acknowledgment, within three months of the expiration of the seven-day period following the submission of the report.
Please carefully read the instructions contained in the Whistleblowing Procedure (available at the bottom of this page) before submitting your internal report. External reports may be filed directly with the National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) only under certain conditions set forth by law. Information on the reporting channel, procedures, and requirements for filing external reports is provided in the Procedure.
