Our Code of Ethics and reporting channels
Our course is charted by clear and non-negotiable principles. Our Code of Ethics is the compass guiding every decision, ensuring that integrity, responsibility, and transparency form the foundation of all our actions, in every port and on every sea.
Integrity and Transparency
We adopt a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of corruption, both in dealings with Public Authorities and among private parties. Our commitment is to prevent illicit practices through strict codes of conduct and rigorous control processes, excluding facilitation payments and undue advantages. We work to guarantee maximum transparency and fair management in all company activities.
Human Rights
We support and respect human rights in accordance with the United Nations Universal Declaration. We promote working conditions that protect the physical, cultural, and moral integrity of every person, ensuring dignity and equal opportunities while preventing any discrimination. This commitment extends throughout our supply chain, requiring our suppliers to respect human and labour rights fully.
Fair Competition
We operate in full and strict compliance with regulations protecting competition and the market. We refrain from any behaviour or agreement that could negatively affect free competition, such as forming cartels, dividing markets, or limiting production. We base our relationships with all sector operators on loyalty, fairness, and mutual respect.
Our Code of Ethics
Ignazio Messina & C. S.p.A. and other companies in the group are committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and sustainably. The Code of Ethics is not just a document; it is the concrete expression of our commitment to the values of Integrity, Responsibility, and Respect, setting the standards that guide our conduct and relationships with all stakeholders.
All employees and collaborators are responsible for supporting and promoting this Code. To maintain the integrity of our organisation, it is essential to report any potential violations.
Therefore, we have established confidential reporting channels, including anonymous options, to ensure everyone can raise concerns without fear of retaliation, discrimination, or penalties.
