Control and risk management system

infografica_governance
The Internal Control System (SCI) is the series of rules, procedures and organisational structures aimed to allow the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main corporate risks; it develops over 3 lines of defence and is sub-divided into specific areas, for each of which a Manager/Risk Owner is identified. The responsibility for the third level of control is assigned to the Internal Audit structure, under the direct responsibility of the Board of Directors. In particular, the SCI and Risk Management (GR) help ensure implementation of the corporate strategies, the effectiveness and efficiency of corporate processes, safeguarding of the corporate wealth, the reliability and integrity of accounting and management information and the compliance of operations with the rules to which the Company is subject. The SCI and GR, therefore, play a central role in the Company organisation, contributing to the adoption of informed decisions that are in line with the propensity for risk, as well as distributing proper knowledge of risks, legal requirements and corporate values.

Corporate, control and supervisory bodies

The Meeting of Shareholders represents the totality of shareholders and carries out the tasks foreseen by law and by the Statute. In particular, the Statute sets down as being the task of the Meeting of Shareholders: (i) determination of the company's strategic directions and approval of the annual plan of actions and the budget for the following year; (ii) approval of the compulsory contributions to be made by shareholders; (iii) the purchase, sale and exchange of real estate and (iv) the acquisition and sale of holdings in companies. The Statute also establishes the rules under which the Meeting of Shareholders operates, with particular reference to the methods used to call it, how the meetings take place and the relevant quorum and quorum for passing motions. The Meeting of Shareholders performs comparable control through the Strategic Control Committee and the Technical Body.

The Board of Directors, which is nominated by the Meeting of Shareholders, is responsible for operational running of the Company. The Board works to implement the corporate object in compliance with the resolutions passed by the Meeting of Shareholders and within the limits of the powers assigned it by Law and by the Statute. In particular, the Board nominates the General Manager and the Company managers and determines their powers.

Ethics code

The Ethics cods is approved by the Company Board of Directors and identifies the series of values, principles, rights and duties as well as the codes of behaviour and responsibilities that permeate the Company’s organisation. The set of ethical principles and values expressed in the Ethics code (legality, moral integrity, transparency and impartiality, enhancement of human resources and respect for individual liberty, community and environmental responsibilities) must be the inspiration for the actions of everybody working at the Company, taking into account the importance of the roles, the complexity of the functions and responsibilities assigned them to pursue the corporate aims.

Organisation, management and control model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01, prevention of corruption and transparency
