The regulations on whistleblowing, aimed at protecting those who report corruption and irregularities, are governed in Italy by specific legal provisions (implementing an EU Directive), which complement the legislation on the protection of workers in both the public and private sectors (Law 179 of 30\/11\/2017 and Legislative Decree 24 of 10\/03\/2023).<\/p>\n\n
Specifically, a whistleblower\u2014i.e., an individual who reports unlawful conduct to the competent authority that they became aware of due to their professional or employment relationship\u2014cannot be penalized, demoted, dismissed, transferred, or subjected to any other discriminatory organizational measures that may have a negative impact on them.<\/p>\n\n
The term \u201cwhistleblowing\u201d literally derives from the English phrase \u201cblow the whistle,\u201d referring to the action of a referee signaling a foul or a police officer attempting to stop an illegal action. Whistleblowers are individuals who publicly disclose or report illegal activities to authorities, which may include violations of the law, threats to public interest, or the deliberate omission of required actions. <\/p>\n\n
The collaboration of individuals within the company who report unlawful conduct encountered during their professional duties, as well as external parties who become aware of corrupt activities through other means, is crucial. The ultimate goal of such information is to bring to light corrupt practices, which can harm the company and its Organizational Model 231 in various ways, primarily through reputational damage. For this reason, the definition of corruption introduced by Law 190\/2012 is broader than the criminal definition and includes situations where, during administrative activities, a person abuses the authority entrusted to them to gain advantages for private or public entities. <\/p>\n\n
