Whistleblowing
The Company has adopted internal procedures in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Law on so-called Whistleblowing (with particular reference to Legislative Decree no. 24/2023, the "Whistleblowing Regulation") and in any case with a view to spreading the culture of ethics and legality within the corporate organisation.
Whistleblowing falling within the objective and subjective scope of application of the "Whistleblowing Regulation" may be submitted to the Company through dedicated channels.

The constraints imposed by the Whistleblowing Regulation do not apply to such Other Communications, and the investigative activities shall in particular ensure the adoption of measures/precautions aimed at protecting the confidentiality of the identity of the subject that has submitted the communication, also in compliance with the applicable provisions on the processing of personal data.
The management of whistleblowing shall be entrusted to the Rai Way Audit Function, or, if involving one of the members of the Audit Function, to the Chair of the Supervisory Body.
