OUR WHISTLEBLOWING SYSTEM

Amplifon is committed to carrying out its business in a fair, loyal and ethical manner, in compliance with the laws and regulations in force, wherever the Group operates.

The activity of reporting irregularities is of paramount importance for Amplifon to strengthen control over the effective application and observance of the Code of Ethics, as well as the provisions and principles of the Group Policies and Procedures.

To this end a system for managing reports of violations within Amplifon Group has been developed. This system – consisting of all the functions, the human, technological and digital resources, the Group policies/procedures/processes dedicated to the management of reports – is inspired by the principles of trust, impartiality and protection of the Whistleblower.

Part of the whistleblowing system is the Whistleblowing Policy which contains a description of the channels for the transmission of reports, the reporting process and its management, the departments involved in this process and the related responsibilities, as well as an indication of the rights and obligations of the Whistleblower, in line with applicable regulation. The Policy aims to build a system that facilitates whistleblowing, protects the confidentiality of reports and protects the identity of Whistleblower and of all the people concerned by the reports, reducing the risks of wrongdoing within the Group.

Our whistleblowing system is consistent with the international best practice, is constantly updated in line with the local regulations and is part of a process of continuous improvement and strengthening of the control system of the Group.
