1.      Mission

 

This Code of Ethics (hereafter also the “Code”) is an official document drawn up in order to define and express the fundamental ethical values and principles that the Group adheres to when conducting its business and corporate activities. In this perspective, the Member Code of Conduct of Haworth Inc., annex sub. "Annex A", is an integral and substantial part of this Code of Ethics.

The recipients of the Code of Ethics are the corporate bodies of each Group company and their members, employees, workers, even temporary, consultants and collaborators in any capacity, attorneys and any other person who may act in the name and on behalf of each Group company (hereinafter, also "Recipients" and, individually, "Recipient").

The Code of Ethics, considered as a whole and together with the Organization and Management Model including its annexes, the latter only if adopted by the individual Group company, and all the specific procedures approved by each Group company, must be considered an integral part of the employment contracts in place and to be stipulated, pursuant to art. 2104 of the Italian Civil Code.

The violation of the provisions contained in the Code of Ethics will therefore constitute an offense of a disciplinary nature and, as such, will be prosecuted and sanctioned by each Group company pursuant to and for the purposes of art. 7 of Law 300/1970 and may result in compensation for damage caused to companies.

As for collaborators, consultants and self-employed workers who lend their activities in favor of companies and other third parties, adherence to the principles set out in the Code of Ethics represents a cd. sine qua non condition for the conclusion of contracts of any kind between companies and such subjects; the provisions thus signed or, in any case, approved, even for conclusive facts, constitute an integral part of the contracts themselves.

Due to the above, any violations by third parties of specific provisions contained in the Code of Ethics, based on their seriousness, may legitimize the withdrawal by each Group company from the contractual relationships in place with these subjects and can also be identified ex ante as causes of automatic termination of the contract pursuant to art. 1456 of the Italian Civil Code.

Recipients are required to learn the contents and to respect the precepts of this Code of Ethics.

The administrative bodies of each Group company, in setting the company's objectives, undertake to be inspired by the principles contained in the Code of Ethics.

The top management of each Group company is responsible for the effective adoption and implementation of the Code and the dissemination of the same inside and outside the company.

The employees of each Group company, in addition to the compliance in themselves due to the regulations in force and the provisions of collective bargaining, undertake to adapt the methods of performance of the work activity to the purposes and provisions provided for by the Code of Ethics; this, both in intra-company relations, as well as in relations with subjects external to the Companies and, in particular, with Public Administrations and other Public Authorities.

Compliance with the Code of Ethics is monitored by the supervisory and control bodies, through continuous verification and specific in-depth analysis. Where appointed, the Supervisory Body is the body responsible in Italy for monitoring compliance with the Code of Ethics.

The corporate bodies and their members, employees, consultants and coordinated and continuous collaborators, agents, attorneys and third parties acting on behalf of each Company, are required to provide maximum collaboration in favoring the performance of the functions of the Supervisory Body.

In the event of violations of the Code of Ethics, each Company adopts disciplinary measures against those responsible for the violations themselves, consistent with the provisions of the current regulatory framework and employment contracts, which may go as far as the removal from the Company of the persons responsible, in addition to compensation for any damages derived from the violations themselves.

Failure to comply with the rules of the Code of Ethics by members of the corporate bodies may result in the adoption, by the competent corporate bodies, of the most appropriate measures provided for and permitted by law.

Violations of the rules of the Code of Ethics by employees constitute a breach of the obligations deriving from an employment relationship, with every contractual and legal consequence, also with reference to the relevance of the same as a disciplinary offense.

Violations committed by suppliers, external collaborators and, in general, third parties, will be punishable in accordance with the provisions of the relevant contractual assignments, except for more significant violations of the law. Each Company will in any case do everything necessary and permitted in order to protect itself and distance itself from such behavior.

The Code of Ethics is brought to the attention of the corporate bodies and their members, employees, consultants and coordinated and continuous collaborators, agents, attorneys and any other third party who may act on behalf of each Company.

Any application doubts related to the Code of Ethics must be promptly submitted and discussed with the Supervisory Body, where appointed, and / or with the supervisory bodies appointed for this purpose or with the legal department.

Each employee who has news of alleged unlawful conduct is required to communicate the information in his possession regarding such conduct to his superiors, or to the Supervisory Body where appointed and / or to the Human Resources Manager of each Group company.

Anyone who becomes aware of violations of the principles of the Code of Ethics or other events likely to alter their value and effectiveness, is required to promptly report them to the Supervisory Body, where appointed, or to the supervisory bodies responsible for this purpose or to the legal department.

In the event that even one of the provisions of the Code of Ethics should conflict with provisions provided for in internal regulations or procedures, the Code of Ethics will prevail over any of these provisions.

Any modification and/or integration to the Code of Ethics must be made in the same way as for its initial approval.
