Organizational, Management and Control Model 231
|
Since 2005 Tamini has adopted an organizational, management and control model (“Model 231”) to ensure the fairness and transparency of its activities. In this way, the Company, in addition to implementing Legislative Decree no. 231 of June 8, 2001 (“Decree 231”) on the administrative liability of entities, protects the Company’s reputation and meets the expectations of its stakeholders, in line with all Terna Group companies.
The main feature of the Model 231 is its dynamism: it was amended over time to adapt both to law provisions and subsequent inclusion of new crimes in compliance with Decree 231, and to the Group organizational modifications. In 2014, following the acquisition of the Company by TERNA S.p.A., the Model 231 has been revised in its structure and content according to the criteria of the Parent Company’s Model, adapted to the Tamini’s business features.
Model 231 is continuously monitored to assess its effectiveness and ensure it is updated with respect to internal changes (such as in an organisational structure or business activities) and external changes (jurisprudence, legislative developments, best practices).
Latest updates
In 2023, the main changes to the Company’s Model 231 concerned:
