Furthermore, the Policy requires Prysmian’s employees to abide by it and to observe and comply with all anti-corruption legislation in force in the countries in where they are employed or active, if these are more restrictive. y ANTI-TRUST REGULATIONS: the Board of Directors has adopted an Anti-trust Code of Conduct that all directors, executives and employees of the Group are expected to know and comply with in the performance of their duties and in relations with third parties.

With the formalization of the Helpline Policy — previously known as Whistleblowing Policy - has been established dedicated and secure channels (including telephone lines and a web portal) for individuals who wish to report professional misconduct. These channels are managed by an external independent company, NAVEX Global, which has a binding mandate to protect the identity of all who use the Helpline. They also act as an intermediary to relay any required follow-up information, related questions and answers, as well as information about the resolution of the case. Alongside these channels, has been formed a Helpline Committee. This operates to accurately evaluate any reports, perform specific investigations into cases where required, and adopt coherent and appropriate measures.
