CODE OF ETHICS
The founding principles of our Group are articulated in the Code of Ethics, which defines the set of values that we recognize, accept, and share at all levels in the conduct of business activities. Adherence to these values is essential for the proper conduct of our activities, the reliability of management, and the image of our Group, especially considering our role in the European audiovisual and advertising market.
In the Code of Ethics, ethical principles and fundamental values are expressed, which, permeating every process of daily work, constitute essential and functional elements for the proper conduct of relationships with the companies in our Group at every level. The provisions contained therein also constitute exemplary specifications of the general obligations of diligence, fairness, and loyalty that qualify the performance of work duties and behavior in the workplace.
The adoption of the Code of Ethics stems from the belief that ethics in business conduct is a fundamental and necessary element for the success of the company. The Code of Ethics also represents a foundational component of corporate compliance programs, adopted in accordance with the applicable regulations in the legal systems of the countries of operation, based on specific procedures that oversee each individual business process, as well as the overall internal control and risk management system of the MFE Group.
The principles and provisions of the Code of Ethics, constituting a common value base for all Group companies, are binding for the members of the governing and control bodies, for employees, and for all those who operate in any capacity with our companies, regardless of the type of relationship – even temporary – that binds them to the same (e.g., collaborators, suppliers, customers, commercial partners, etc.).
MFE Group ensures the dissemination and awareness of the contents of the Code of Ethics through appropriate information, awareness-raising, and specific training activities, so that the subjects to whom it applies share, promote, and respect the principles and values expressed therein.
The Code of Ethics is valid in all countries where MFE Group operates, taking due account of their differences.
