Legislative decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001 introduced the concept of administrative liability for companies whereby they can be held liable, and therefore penalised, for certain offences committed or attempted in the interests of or to the advantage of the company by its directors or employees. The company’s liability is excluded if it has adopted and properly implemented organisation, management and control models before the offences were committed that are suitable to prevent such offences and has set up a supervisory body to oversee the models’ working and compliance with the requirements of the Decree.
In its meeting of 9 april 2009, the board of directors of GNL Italia approved the new organisational, management and control model which was updated to reflect the changed law in accordance with the issue of decree 231/2001.
The company will place great emphasis on implementation of the model focusing on fine-tuning internal procedures, personnel training and the carrying out of specific control programs. |
