In the conduct of their activities, the Groups respect current laws and regulations in the legal systems of all the countries in which they operate and act in accordance with the principles of fairness, honesty, responsibility, freedom, human dignity and respect for diversity, repudiating all discrimination based on sex, race, language, personal and social conditions, religious and political beliefs. To this end, the Groups aim to create a work environment that, based on respect, fairness and cooperation and on the basis of experience in the various fields of competence, facilitates the involvement and empowerment of employees and contractors, with regard to the specific objectives of the company and how they are to be achieved. In the context of the increasing importance attributed to corporate governance, the Company considered it essential to adopt a code of ethics (the “Code” or “Code of Ethics”), with the aim of clearly defining the values and responsibilities that the Company and Groups recognise, accept and share. In the context of the Mediaset Group, the Code of Ethics is, among other things, a fundamental component of models of organisation, management and control adopted by the companies of the same pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01 (hereinafter “Organisational Models 231”) and the Group’s overall system of internal control, in the conviction that ethical business conduct is to be pursued as a condition of success. From this perspective, the principles and values expressed in the Code of Ethics constitute the first line of defence on which the Organisational Models 231 adopted by the Mediaset Group companies are based, as well as a useful reference point for interpretation in the practical application of the same in relation to the dynamics of the company. The Company ensures the spread and information of the provisions of the Code of Ethics and its application to the subjects to which it refers, so that all those involved - in any capacity - for the Company conduct their business and/or tasks or functions in strict observance of the principles and values contained therein.

In the event of a violation by a senior executive who is also an employee, disciplinary action in accordance with the terms of employment with the Company will apply. SECTION VI – FINAL PROVISIONS Art. 23 – Approval and modifications The Code of Ethics is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
