Reporting Committee

Engineering has established a specific Group Collegial Body called the Reporting Committee, responsible for managing the reporting process. The committee evaluates its adequacy, suggests potential improvements to the Board of Directors, and promotes necessary information and training initiatives for the corporate population. It consists of the Heads of the following functions: Group Chief Human Resource & Organization, Group Legal, and Group Audit. The Reporting Committee manages reports related to all the Group's subsidiaries, except for those already equipped with a whistleblowing system that complies with the mandatory principles defined.

Reports

In carrying out its activities, the Engineering Group considers ethics, fairness, and corporate integrity as essential principles for the healthy and sustainable conduct of business.

In line with the organizational and governance developments of the Group, Engineering has introduced a new reporting management process, improving the previous one with the following innovations:

• assigning the Internal Audit function the role of process owner to enhance the timeliness of analyses and the integration of all aspects related to the Internal Control and Risk Management System (ICRMS), in line with the mission and characteristics of the role of this function;
• establishing information flows with other ICRMS actors.

With the aim of promptly identifying and managing any acts, facts, and unlawful behaviors that may constitute or lead to a violation of laws and regulations, the Organization, Management, and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 adopted by the Company, the Code of Ethics, and more generally, corporate procedures, Engineering provides a variety of alternative channels, specifically:

• an online platform accessible to all Reporters (Employees, Third Parties, etc.) by clicking the link below ("Submit your report here"): the system allows the submission of reports through a guided online process without the need to register or disclose personal details
  [This channel is considered preferential]
  
  
• email, at the address: segnalazioni@eng.it
• ordinary mail, addressed to Engineering Ingegneria Informatica S.p.A., Reporting Committee Engineering, c/o Internal Audit Department, Piazzale dell’Agricoltura, 24 - 00144 Rome.

Reports can only be submitted to the competent authority (ANAC) in the following cases:

• if the mandatory internal channel is not active, or it is active but does not comply with legal requirements
• if the internal report has not been acted upon
• if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the internal report would not be effectively addressed, that it might lead to retaliation, or that the violation could pose an imminent or clear danger to the public interest.

Although anonymous reports are accepted by Engineering, named reports are preferred to ensure faster and more effective investigations, as well as to facilitate appropriate communication with the Reporter, if needed.

Engineering guarantees confidentiality regarding the existence and content of the report, as well as the identity of the Reporters (if disclosed) and the Reported individuals. Additionally, the protections for the Reporter are ensured in compliance with legal provisions.
