MFE Group is committed to promoting a corporate culture based on ethical behaviour, respecting the principles of loyalty, honesty, responsibility and legality, and therefore rejects and deplores the use of unlawful or improper behaviour to achieve its economic objectives.

In order to ensure the maintenance, observance and respect of these principles and values, as well as to further promote the diffusion of a culture of legality within the organisation, organisational and control tools are adopted to prevent the violation of laws, regulations, principles and values expressed in the Code of Ethics, in the compliance programmes and in the current corporate procedures, by constantly monitoring their observance and implementation.

These organisational and control tools protect all stakeholders’ interests, ensure and guarantee the correct and transparent management of business activities, understood as an essential tool to make operations more efficient and also guarantee competitiveness in the market.

In this perspective, the MFE Group has adapted its whistleblowing system, taking into account the legislation in force in the countries where it operates, both at Community level (EU Directive 2019/1937) and at national level (Legislative Decree of 10 March 2023, No. 24, Dutch Whistleblower Protection Act, Ley of 20 February 2023, No. 2). This system allows anyone interested to report violations and/or irregularities, including those that are merely suspected, with absolute confidentiality of the whistleblower's identity and with maximum protection against adverse consequences, retaliation or any form of discrimination or punishment..

MFE Group is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment, in compliance with all laws and regulations governing the matter in the countries where it operates.

MFE Group recognizes the importance and centrality of health and safety in the workplace, understood as fundamental workers right, in carrying out all business activities, and is therefore committed to pursuing continuous improvement of company performance in terms of prevention and protection in the workplace, as provided for by the Health & Safety General Principles adopted by the Group.

The MFE Group companies, in accordance with applicable national regulations, adopt a specific "Health and Safety Management Systems in the workplace" based on internationally recognized standards, aimed at optimizing all business processes related to occupational health and safety and, at the same time, adequately complying with current legislative provisions, technical standards, and best practices.

Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001, concerning "Regulations on the administrative liability of legal entities, companies and associations with or without legal personality" (hereinafter, "Decree 231"), introduced for the first time into the Italian legal system a "punitive system" for legal persons (companies, associations, foundations, etc.) for certain specific offences (so-called "premised offences"), committed by top management (directors, managers, etc.) or employees/contract staff in the interest of or for the benefit of a legal entity. Decree 231 states that entities are liable if they have not adopted the necessary measures of organization and control to prevent the type of crimes or administrative offences falling within the list of "premised offences". The purpose of Decree 231 is, therefore, to press companies for adopting specific organisational, management and control programs ("231 Compliance Programs") which, where previously adopted and effectively implemented, can constitute an exemption to exclude liability.

Mediaset S.p.A. and its Italian subsidiaries, since the entry into force of Decree 231, have adopted and progressively updated their 231 Compliance Programs to the requirements of this legislation, with the aim of establishing a structured and whole system of general, behavioural and operational rules, which guarantees the effective performance of sensitive activities by preventing the commission of premised offenses that may involve corporate liability, if put in place in companies' interest or advantage.

The first version of the 231 Compliance Programs of Mediaset SpA was approved by its Board of Directors on July 29th 2003 and subsequently amended and supplemented several times until the current version dated March 26th 2024.
With reference to the Italian subsidiaries, similar initiatives have been taken to adapt and implement the respective 231 Compliance Programs pursuant to Legislative Decree 231, taking into account each specific structure and activities. The updated versions of the 231 Compliance Programs adopted by Mediaset SpA and its Italian subsidiaries are published below.

In compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree no. 231/01, a Supervisory and Control body, in charge of overseeing the proper functioning of the 231 Compliance Programs as well as their constant updating, has been appointed by the Board of each Mediaset Group Italian companies.

In order to ensure that the 231 Compliance Programs are actually and effectively implemented, the Supervisory and Control Body must have the following characteristics: (i) autonomy; (ii) independence; (iii) professionalism; (iv) continuity of action.
The Supervisory and Control Body has mainly a collegial composition, considered suitable for the need to entrust this role and the consequent responsibility to persons who fully ensure effective autonomy and necessary independence.
The 231 Compliance Programs require that the Supervisory and Control Body has to be appointed by the Board of Directors, subject to verification of (i) requirements of integrity similar to those of the directors and professionalism appropriate to such role; (ii) non-subsistence of incompatibility and conflict of interest with other corporate functions and/or positions.
The Supervisory and Control Body carries out the tasks and activities provided for by the 231 Compliance Programs and may at any time carry out checks on their application.
The 231 Compliance Programs set out information obligations of the various corporate functions to the Supervisory and Control Body. For information purposes as well as for reporting violations or unlawful conduct relevant to the purposes of Legislative Decree 231/01, the Supervisory and Control Bodies have specific e-mail addresses, accessible exclusively by their members, as indicated below:
