Code of etichs

The fundamental principles of MFE Group are explained in the Code of Ethics, which defines the set of values that the Group recognizes, accepts and shares, at all levels, in business conduct anche whose observance is essential for the regular carrying out of its activities, management's reliability and the Group's image.
The Code of Ethics expresses ethical principles and fundamental values which, in every process of daily work, constitute essential and functional elements for the proper conduct of relations with MFE Group companies. Its provisions also provide specific examples of the general duties of diligence, honesty and fairness on which work obligations and the conduct in the workplace must be based.

The adoption of the Code of Ethics arises from the belief that ethics in business conduct is a indispensable issue for the success of a company. Furthermore, the Code of Ethics also represents a fundamental component of the compliance programs adopted by the Group companies - in line with the provisions of legal systems of the countries where they operate - as well as the internal control system which also includes the set of corporate procedures issued to manage every corporate process.

The principles and provisions of the Code of Ethic are shared by all MFE Group companies and are binding on the members of corporate bodies, on all persons bound by an employment contract with the MFE Group and on all those who work for/with MFE Group companies, regardless of the relationship, even temporary, that links them to it (e.g. contract staff, suppliers, customers, etc.).

The MFE Group is committed to the broad dissemination of the principles and values expressed in the Code of Ethics through adequate information activities, in particular towards its corporate bodies and towards employees and contract staff, in order to promote application and strict compliance to such provisions. Specific training activities on ethical principles are also provided both in classrooms and through e-learning courses
