Organisation Model 231 and Code of Ethics

The coming into force of the Legislative Decree 8 June 2001 Nr.231 introduced into the Italian legal system a new set of rules on "Administrative liability, ascertained in the criminal law proceedings", chargeable to legal persons for some crimes committed by administrators, managers, employees or external collaborators in the interest or to the advantage of the company (among others, corporate crimes and crimes against Public Administration).

With the aim of ensuring correct and transparent conditions required by the decree, Reply has introduced its own "organizational, managerial, and control model". The Model establishes rules and provides for procedures that must be respected by the whole personnel of the Group and by any other persons interacting with the Group (clients, suppliers, collaborators, partners, etc.).

This model endows Reply with an efficient organizational and managerial system, one that is able to single out and prevent the risk of the crimes included in the decree being committed. The adoption of the Model has involved the appointment of a specific "Supervisory Body" with the task of verifying the effectiveness and suitability of the Model, and of attending to its updating.

An integral part of the this Model is the Code of Ethics, which has been updated according to the provisions of the same Decree and has the purpose of defining the fundamental ethical principles and rules of behaviour that must be respected, thus creating the appropriate conditions that will guarantee that Reply’s activity will be inspired by the principles of fairness and transparency, and reducing the risk that the crimes listed in the Decree might be committed.

The organizational Model was approved on 28 March 2008 by the Board of Directors of Reply S.p.A. and in the month of May by all of the Group’s companies.
