None of the Interested Parties is authorized to pursue any objective of the Company in violation of current laws, in particular by using the Company's or their own means and assets.
Any results achieved in violation—proven and documented from a legal point of view—of the rules set out by current legal provisions and by the Model will not be considered useful or valid for the purposes of bonuses and/or career advancement, and if already granted, these will be considered unlawfully received.
INTERNAL CONTROL AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST
It is our policy to promote at all levels a culture characterized both by awareness of individual and collective responsibilities, and by the development of a mindset oriented towards collaboration with the various control activities, due to the contribution to improving the efficiency of the activity.
All Interested Parties must avoid any and all situations or activities that could give rise to a conflict of interest, whether potential or actual, between their personal sphere—due to direct or indirect involvement through marriage, kinship, or affinity up to the fourth degree of collateral line and the second degree of direct line—and the company's activities, or that could in any other way interfere with their ability to make impartial decisions in the best interest of the Company and in full compliance with this Code.
By way of example, the following situations give rise to conflicts of interest:
1) own economic and financial interests and/or those of third parties to whom the Data Subjects are linked by marriage, kinship, or affinity, as well as business relationships with Third Parties (such as suppliers, commercial and financial partners, counterparties, consultants, contractors, service providers, coordinated and continuous collaborators, and third parties in general) who have relationships with Canichepassione, as well as those who act for any reason on behalf of Canichepassione or whose actions can be attributed to it;
2) use by the Interested Parties of the information acquired in the exercise of their duties and responsibilities in the pursuit of their own interests and/or those of third parties to whom they are connected by marriage, kinship and affinity (up to the fourth degree in the collateral line and the second degree in the direct line), as well as business interests;
3) carrying out work activities, of any kind, at clients, suppliers, competitors,
debtors, creditors and third parties in general;
4) acceptance of money, favors or benefits from persons (natural or legal) who are or intend to enter into business relations with the Company.
RELATIONS WITH EMPLOYEES AND THE RESPECT DUE TO THE PERSON
Human resources are an indispensable element for the existence of the company and, therefore, the dedication and professionalism of our Employees are essential values and conditions for achieving the objectives of our company.
All Employees and Collaborators must accept the ethical principles and standards of conduct set out in this Code, as well as be familiar with the company procedures that allow them to carry out their assigned work activities. They must also act to ensure the efficient and effective application of the provisions of this Code, promptly communicating any observations in this regard to the owner.
Canichepassione offers everyone the same job and professional growth opportunities, making every necessary effort to ensure that everyone can enjoy fair treatment based on merit criteria, without any discrimination based on gender, race, language, personal and social conditions, religious or political beliefs.
Canichepassione is committed to protecting working conditions, workplace safety, the psycho-physical integrity of workers, and their moral personality, ensuring that all conditions are met so that these are not subject to unlawful influences.
Canichepassione is committed to developing the abilities and skills of Employees and Collaborators, so that the energy and creativity of individuals can be fully expressed to achieve their potential; to this end, Canichepassione identifies professional training as a fundamental tool for improving their professionalism.
All Employees and Collaborators are entitled to fair, courteous, and respectful treatment of the person by the Designated Subjects, the Subjects Operating Sensitive Activities, and other Employees and colleagues in general.
Canichepassione therefore expects Employees, at every level, to cooperate in maintaining an atmosphere of mutual respect for the dignity, reputation, and honor of each individual within the company, and will therefore act to prevent insulting or defamatory interpersonal behavior.
In compliance with each person's responsibilities and the exercise of disciplinary power, should negligent behavior occur in the performance of duties by the
Employees and Collaborators, the Designated Subjects, the Operators of Sensitive Activities, other Employees, and other colleagues will be required to discuss the contents, avoiding disrespectful attitudes that could compromise interpersonal relationships.
In light of the importance of teamwork in managing complex business processes, each Employee and/or member of a work group must act with the utmost diligence to contribute both personally and on behalf of the functions and other company operational units to which they belong, while also committing to fostering a productive spirit of interpersonal collaboration.
Every Employee has the right to perform their work in an environment free from any kind of discrimination based on race, religion, sex, opinions, union or political affiliation.
Canichepassione requires that internal and external working relationships be based on the utmost
fairness and that no harassment occurs, meaning by this, by way of example:
1) the creation of an intimidating, hostile, or isolating work environment towards
individual workers or groups of workers,
2) the unjustified interference with the performance of others' work duties,
3) the hindrance to others' individual job prospects for mere reasons of personal competitiveness.
Canichepassione does not admit or tolerate sexual harassment, meaning – for example – as such:
A) the subordination of activities and behaviors relevant to the recipient's working life to the acceptance of his/her sexual favors,
B) proposals for private interpersonal relationships, despite an explicit or reasonably evident lack of appreciation, which have the capacity, with reference to the specificity of the situation, to disturb the peace of mind of the recipient with objective implications on their work performance;
C) any unwanted act or behavior, even verbal, of a sexual nature causing
offense to the dignity and freedom of the person who suffers it, or that is likely to create retaliation or a climate of intimidation against them.
Pursuant to Article 2105 of the Civil Code, all Employees are prohibited from engaging in activities that may, even potentially and/or indirectly, be in competition with those of our company
REGARDING THE HIRING OF EMPLOYEES
With a view to transparency and fairness, it is also established that the spouse, relatives and in-laws up to the fourth degree in the collateral line and up to the second degree in the direct line, or those who have business relationships with Employees of our company or with third parties who have legal relations with Canichepassione, may in turn be hired provided that the relevant hiring takes place in a different company unit from the one where the spouse, relative or in-law works, or in a different company function from the one that has business relations with these individuals or with third parties. Where the aforementioned relationship of marriage, kinship, affinity or business concerns a person assigned to the sales function and the person to be hired is a candidate for employment in another unit, it will be sufficient for the latter to be assigned to a production unit different from the one in which the spouse, relative, in-law already works, or to a production unit different from the one that has business relations with these individuals or with third parties.
Employees and/or collaborators must notify the Owner if they become aware of such situations that have not been promptly communicated
IN BUSINESS AFFAIRS
Canichepassione, in the management of business relations, is inspired by the principles of loyalty, fairness, transparency, efficiency, and openness to the market, as well as the principles set out in the Code.
Corrupt practices, unlawful favors, collusive behaviors, direct and/or indirect solicitations aimed at obtaining personal and career advantages for oneself, one's collaborators, or other parties, are prohibited for the Interested Parties and may constitute a breach of the primary obligations of the employment relationship or disciplinary offense or of the contractual relationship, with all consequences provided by law, the collective labor agreement and/or the existing contract: in this context, they will be sanctioned and the penalties may result in the immediate termination of the relationship established with our company for breach, as well as the request for compensation for damages arising therefrom.
Economic resources, as well as any other asset of our company, must not be used for illegal, improper, or even merely questionable purposes in terms of transparency
No type of benefit may be obtained through illegitimate favors of a financial nature or any other kind.
