Whistleblowing – Bergi S.p.A.

Whistleblowing Reports

Following the entry into force of Legislative Decree 24/2023 on Whistleblowing, Bergi Spa has set up various channels for reporting any unlawful or fraudulent activities of which the whistleblower becomes aware within the work context.

If you are aware of irregularities that could lead to violations and/or wrongdoings, you should make a Whistleblowing Report.

The expression whistleblowing refers to whistleblowing as a manifestation of civic sense, which contributes to bringing to light and preventing situations that undermine good administration or the public interest.

Bergi Spa guarantees the confidentiality and anonymity of those who wish to make a report and of the information provided in compliance with the law.

Reporting Channels

The channels through which you can make a report are the following

through the Signalethic portal at the link bergispa.signalethic.it;
by contacting the Signal Managers* by phone at the contact details below;
by contacting the Alert Handlers directly to arrange a meeting in person.

In addition, whistleblowers may use the external channel (ANAC) when:

the reporting person has already made an internal report and it was not followed up;
the person making the report has reasonable grounds to believe that, if he/she was to make an internal report, it would not be effectively followed up, or that the report might give rise to a risk of retaliation;
the reporting person has reasonable grounds to believe that the breach may constitute an imminent or obvious danger to the public interest;

Remember that Whistleblowing channels are not appropriate for dealing with personal or employment contract issues, relations with supervisor or other colleagues not covered by violations of the Code of Ethics or Legislative Decree 24/2023.

*Managers of Whistleblowing Reports:
The task of handling whistleblowing reports was given to an external person in order to further reassure the whistleblower of the confidentiality of the report.
