Model 231 and Code of Ethics

Model 231 and Code of Ethics

Costacurta S.p.A.-VICO, aware of the need to ensure correctness and transparency in the performance of its business and the company’s activities, has decided to draw up an organisation, management and control model as of Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001 (hereinafter for the sake of brevity, also referred to as the “Model”) as well as a “Code of Ethics” which forms an integral part thereof.
This decision was taken in the firm belief that the adoption of the Model, besides the requirements of the Decree, which it states are optional and not compulsory, can represent a valid tool for raising the awareness of everyone who operates in the name and on behalf of Costacurta S.p.A.-VICO, so that they follow, in the performance of their activities, correct and linear behaviour such as to prevent the commission of crimes, with special reference to those provided for in the Decree.

In this respect, Costacurta S.p.A.-VICO first and foremost highlights that it does not tolerate illegal behaviour, of any type and irrespective of the purpose, as such behaviour, also if Costacurta S.p.A.-VICO could apparently gain advantage, is in any case contrary to the ethical principles with which Costacurta S.p.A.-VICO intends to comply in the pursuit of its corporate mission.
This Model, as set forth in the Decree, was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on 30/03/2018 and later updated on 12/13/2021.
