Whistleblowing report

AALBORG PORTLAND (ANQING) Co., Ltd , part of Cementir Group fully recognizes the importance of Whistleblowing legislation as an effective instrument to prevent illicit activities and allow individuals to exercise their freedom of expression as a fundamental human right.

For this reason, the Group has long since established a specific reporting mechanism through which employees, collaborators, administrators, and third parties in general can report, without fear of retaliation or intimidation, any information regarding potential violations, non-compliant or unlawful behaviors and practices in relation to applicable regulations, including European Union legislation, the Group's Code of Ethics, internal procedures, and the respective companies' Organizational Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001.

• Face-to-Face Meeting

Upon the Whistleblower's request, the report may be made via a face-to-face meeting with the relevant personnel.

Subject to the Whistleblower’s consent, the meeting will be documented and he/she have the opportunity to review the content of the verbatim report. 

Please read the "Whistleblowing Management" Privacy Notice, available in the Privacy Notice section at https://cementir.integrityline.com/, before proceeding with filing a report.

It is important that reports are adequately detailed in order to identify the individuals involved and the alleged violations reported. The receipt, analysis and beginning of subsequent investigations will be conducted by Cementir’s Internal Audit Department, as the sole and independent authority mandated to receive and investigate any alleged violations, in compliance with related regulations; furthermore, in compliance with applicable law, the confidentiality of both the whistleblower and the subject of the report constitutes a legal obligation.

The primary objective is to always ensure the highest confidentiality to reporting individuals and a timely and adequate verification of the reported information and/or events, also to prevent any form of retaliation against whistleblowers in good-faith.

Therefore, it is expressly required to communicate exclusively and directly with the Group Internal Audit Department on this matter through the dedicated channels (Whistleblowing and/or Ethics Committee).

The inclusion of third parties in any related correspondence is strictly prohibited and may result in prosecution at the request of the affected people.
