TRANSPARENCY AND INTEGRITY Home About Us Transparency and integrity Share Transparency and integrity are fundamental pillars of Terna's business. Our priorities are to combat corruption, prevent fraud and spread a culture of legality and good management Integrity and transparency are crucial values for Terna, to such an extent as to be recognized as fundamental principles in our Code of Ethics . In fact, our Group is committed to performing all activities in compliance with regulations in force as well as continuously improving processes. This commitment is demonstrated in our Management system certification and showcased in our Integrated Policy . In addition, through the Open and transparent work sites web portal we ensure maximum transparency on all our construction sites. This portal provides access to all the data related to the implementation of Italy's electricity infrastructure. Project Areas We have three main action areas: combating corruption , fraud prevention and the promotion of a culture of legality and good management . The organizational model we have adopted has this objective, so as to ensure correctness and transparency in all company activities. We believe it is also important to prevent other types of risk: this is why there are very strict procedures in place for risk management too. In line with our culture of transparency and legality, in November 2015 we launched the Open & Transparent Construction Sites portal. The prevention of corruption and fraud Via safeguards and systems, we are working towards preventing and combating corruption, undeclared work, irregularities and the risk of criminal infiltration in the economic fabric, as well as in contracts and subcontracts. Our objective is based on targeted analyses, databases and specialist software that aggregate and compare thousands of pieces of information on suppliers, contracts, projects and corporate areas. We have developed a model based on the systematic analysis of the preconditions of fraudulent events, with the aim of identifying potential vulnerabilities in our control system. In order to prevent fraud we monitor the degree of exposure to risk factors, we collect and analyse the reports and evidence of potential unlawful actions, we examine the processes and adopt suitable governance and control measures. Did you know that... Since 2014 Terna has been a member of Transparency International, the largest global organisation active in preventing and fighting corruption. Terna was the first company in Italy to certify its anti-corruption management system according to the new international standard ISO 37001:2016 - Anti-bribery management systems, published in October 2015 by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to support organizations in fighting corruption and to promote ethics in economic activities. NOTICE: DIGITAL FRAUD AGAINST ITALIAN COMPANIES IN THE ENERGY SECTOR A campaign of digital fraud is in progress, using email addresses, sms from phone service providers and social profiles attributable to Italian companies that operate in the energy sector, including Terna. Exploiting the brand and reputation of the companies the fraudsters simulate the search for specialised personnel, also using the real names of professionals in the personnel selection and recruitment sector. To make the fraud more credible fake Telegram profiles and groups have been created, with which false job interviews are conducted, after which the payment of a sum of money is requested. The operation was discovered after months of investigations thanks to the intervention of the authorities. In any case, we advise you not to reply to suspicious emails and not to click on the attached links and we emphasize that Terna never asks for money in any form, not for preliminary interviews nor to purchase work materials. For any doubt we advise you to check this information always through the contacts indicated on this website. Respect for privacy In 2018, Terna defined and implemented a plan of activities - such as updating of information, Guidelines, Privacy Operating Instructions, or definition of the Data Breach process, etc. - so as to comply with the Privacy Legislation regarding the protection of personal data (the legislative references are European Regulation no. 679/2016 - GDPR - Italian Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, Italian Legislative Decree no. 101 of 2018 and any other legislation on the protection of personal data applicable in Italy, including the provisions of the Data Protection Authority). In the same year, workshops were organised for both top management and the executives of Terna and Terna Rete Italia to raise their awareness on the matter and, at the same time, ensure compliance with the new European regulations. The GDPR training plan was extended to most employees, including those of Tamini Trasformatori and Avvenia-The Energy Innovator, through an online course or with in-depth information clips. Partnerships and commercial agreements Our Group is committed in the procedures for defining commercial agreements to conducting due diligence to confirm the reliability and integrity of the subjects identified for the development and implementation of initiatives of a commercial and institutional nature, and through targeted checks assesses counterparties to limit the risks in transactions with third parties.
