Anti-corruption governance system

Penta is committed to fostering a business culture characterised by fairness, transparency and adherence to the law.

In furtherance to this commitment, we have adopted our Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 on the administrative liability of companies (the “231 Model”). This comprehensive framework establishes a structure and organic system of control principles and procedures to prevent the commission of offences in the interest or to the advantage of Penta, outlined in the Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001. It applies to the Foundation staff and people collaborating with the Foundation.

Penta’s Surveillance Body has the duty of supervising the adequacy, effectiveness and correct functioning of the 231 Model.
