Model 231

Model 231 and supervisory body

We adopted an Organizational, Management and Control Model ("Model 231") in accordance with Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 and appointed a Supervisory Body in order to prevent the risk of commission of criminal offences related to the Company's business.

Model 231

Our Model 231 implements the provisions of Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 - which has introduced into Italian legislation the administrative responsibility in criminal proceedings of organizations for some offences committed in their interest or to their advantage by directors, managers or employees - in order to prevent the commission of the crimes provided for by the Decree itself.

The Model is designed to promote the execution of company activities in accordance with the principles of fairness, ethics and transparency and, at the same time, to avoid potential risk situations in the management of the business. 

The Model consists of two parts:

  • general part that illustrates the contents of the Decree, the purposes of the Model, the methods of constitution and functioning of the Supervisory Body, the disciplinary system and personnel training;
  • special part that describes the behaviors and prevention measures in order to reduce the risk of committing the crimes set forth in the Decree.

The Model 231 is dynamic by definition and it is periodically updated in consideration of any organizational and/or regulatory changes in line with best practices and industry standards.

The latest version of the Model 231 was approved by the Board of Directors of Amplifon S.p.A. on October 26th, 2022.

The Code of Ethics is an integral part of the Model 231 and constitutes its very essence for the definition and dissemination of a culture based on ethics and corporate transparency.
