Whistleblowing

At FILTERS S.p.A., integrity, transparency, and compliance are fundamental values guiding our business activities.

To support these principles, we have implemented a Whistleblowing System that enables employees, consultants, suppliers, contractors, and other stakeholders to report concerns regarding unlawful conduct, ethical violations, or situations that may expose the company or third parties to risk.

All reports are handled confidentially and in compliance with applicable whistleblowing regulations.

Who Can Submit a Report

Reports may be submitted by:

  • Employees of FILTERS S.p.A.
  • Former employees
  • Job applicants and candidates
  • Consultants, freelancers, and contractors
  • Suppliers and business partners
  • Any individual who has obtained information regarding potential misconduct within the work-related context

The protection granted to whistleblowers applies throughout the relationship with the company, including recruitment and post-employment phases.

What Can Be Reported

The whistleblowing channel may be used to report actual or suspected violations, including:

  • Fraud, theft, corruption, or bribery
  • Accounting or financial irregularities
  • False statements or document falsification
  • Violations of health and safety regulations
  • Environmental violations
  • Discrimination, harassment, bullying, or abusive conduct
  • Data protection and information security breaches
  • Violations affecting public interests or the financial interests of the European Union
  • Any conduct that may constitute a violation of applicable laws, regulations, or company policies

Reports should be based on facts and information reasonably believed to be true.

What Cannot Be Reported

The whistleblowing system must not be used for:

  • Personal grievances unrelated to illegal conduct
  • Complaints concerning ordinary workplace disputes
  • Defamatory, offensive, or malicious allegations
  • Rumors or unsubstantiated personal accusations
  • Discriminatory or bad-faith reports

FILTERS S.p.A. reserves the right to take appropriate action in the event of intentionally false or malicious reports.
