Whistleblowing

The company and IMI Group have a dedicated system for handling whistleblowing reports, in Italy and abroad.
IMI Hot Line is a confidential independent hotline that, among others, helps all our employees feel confident speaking up if they see inappropriate behaviour or experience anything that makes them feel uncomfortable in the workplace.

Through our IMI Hot Line, any concerns can be quickly and easily reported in confidence and without fear of retaliation. Reports are investigated thoroughly and, where required, action is taken to resolve issues. IMI Hot Line is provided by an independent third-party provider (NAVEX Inc.).

The whistleblower will be given the opportunity to make the report also anonymously. Anonymous reports received will be treated in the same way as other reports submitted without the whistleblower's anonymity. However, we encourage anyone using it to provide their details as this will allow us a greater opportunity to investigate the issues raised.
Through this channel, the report reaches the internal committee that will deal with the investigation and decision-making phase on the report, IMI Ethics & Compliance Committee.
There is also the possibility that the report is made in person through an appointment meeting with one or more members of the IMI Ethics & Compliance Committee.

IMI Ethics & Committee acts with full autonomy and does not require prior authorisation to request documents, conduct interviews and/or carry out on-site inspections in connection with the investigation of reports received.
If a report concerns one of the members of IMI Ethics & Committee, the Navex platform will not automatically make the report available to that person.

Whistleblowers should use internal reporting channels to report potential wrongdoing in the first instance, provided that the reporting persons believe that the report of potential wrongdoing can be dealt with effectively within the relevant organisation and that there is no risk of retaliation.
Making false reports or pursuing personal vendettas through the hotline is strictly against our value of integrity and we could be subject to formal disciplinary action if we use the hotline in this way.
