The aim of this document is to define rules and principles to follow in order to prevent and fight any form of corruption both inside the company and in the relationships with third parties.
This policy concerns all employees, agents, consultants and third parties who work on behalf of the company.
By corruption we mean any action or omission which directly or indirectly offers, promises, gets or confers an undue advantage in money or any other form in order to influence a decision, an action or a behaviour against a legal duty,
Another aspect to be considered is the conflict of interest, in other words a situation where the personal interest of an employee can influence their way of acting for the best interest of the company.
IMT policy is based on the following basics:
- Fair competitionthe company is committed to respecting the rules of fair competition and avoids any action to the contrary.
- Conflict of interestEmployees must avoid any possible situation that can lead to a conflict between personal interests and those of the company.
- IntegrityEmployees are expected to operate with integrity and honesty during all their activities.
- TransparencyBusiness decisions must be made in a transparent and documented manner.
- Whistleblowingthe company encourages all employees to report any suspected wrongdoing or violations of this policy.
In accordance with these principles, IMT’s corporate policy establishes some explicit prohibitions:
- It is forbidden to offer or promise money, gifts, favours or other benefits to public officials, employees from other companies or third parties, in order to obtain or maintain an improper advantage.
- It is forbidden to accept money, gifts, favours or other benefits from third parties, whether they could influence or be perceived as influencing business decisions.
- It is prohibited to falsify or alter any company document.
- It is forbidden to obstruct in any way internal or external investigations into possible acts of corruption.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of this policy, several prevention measures have been implemented. The ethics code, available on the company website and distributed to employees and suppliers, defines the values and behaviours expected from everyone. Furthermore, training courses are planned to raise employee awareness on corruption issues, and procurement procedures are structured to ensure transparency and fair competition. Finally, relations with public administration are based on maximum transparency and compliance with regulations.
The violation of the anti-corruption policy entails the adoption of appropriate disciplinary measures, which may include disciplinary sanctions in accordance with the provisions of the CCNL.
IMT has established an anonymous and confidential reporting channel (whistleblowing channel) on the website https://www.imt-ch.com/it/contatti) through which employees can report, possibly anonymously, inappropriate behaviours. The company implements an anti-retaliation policy that prohibits any form of retaliation against anyone who, in good faith, makes a report or participates in an investigation regarding it.
