Whistleblowing is a tool that allows employees or third parties (e.g. suppliers) to confidentially report any wrongdoing encountered in the course of their work.

The whistleblower is the person who identifies an offence or irregularity in the workplace, during the performance of his or her duties, and decides to report it to the company or body to which he or she belongs or to an authority that can effectively act on it.

The whistleblower is protected by legislation, in fact, in order to comply with Legislative Decree 24/2023, which implements Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law through the platform at the following link: www.lighthouse-services.com/gulftech

Reports must be made in good faith, substantiated and based on precise and consistent facts, also in order not to waste the effectiveness of the tool provided.

In order to protect the whistleblower to the maximum extent possible, the necessary security measures have been adopted: regardless of the choice made by the whistleblower to make a report anonymously or not, the identity of the whistleblower and the content of the report are guaranteed confidentiality through secure protocols that make it possible to protect the personal data and information provided. The identity of the whistleblower is never disclosed without his or her consent, except in cases provided for by law
