CODE OF ETHICS AND MODEL 231

Villa Berica SpA has adopted an Organization, Management and Control Model in compliance with Legislative Decree. Legislative Decree 231/2001 and a Group Code of Ethics (Garofalo Health Care SpA) as a management tool and effective element of the company strategy and organization. In particular, the administrative body of Villa Berica SpA implemented the group Code of Ethics on 14.09.2018 and approved its Model 231 on 5.10.2018.

ETHICAL CODE

The Code of Ethics of the Garofalo Health Care Group, approved by resolution of the Board of Directors of GHC SpA on 8 August 2018, was developed to clearly define the ethical values of the Group, which constitute the basic element of the corporate culture, as well as the rules of conduct to be respected in carrying out professional activities and the rules of conduct to be followed in relations with shareholders, customers, suppliers, colleagues, the Public Administration and with all other stakeholders with which the Group interacts. On 12 November 2021, the Parent Company adopted a new version of the Group Code of Ethics, in the version made available to the Directors and Sole Auditor and kept in the Company's documents, to which some revisions and updates proposed by the internal structures were made, including an additional paragraph describing in detail the reporting communication channels and a reference to the topic of whistleblowing. The document expands and deepens some elements already present in the Code of Ethics currently in force, also explicitly referring to the indications of the main supranational bodies (UN, EU, OECD).

MODEL 231

Model 231 responds to specific provisions contained in the Legislative Decree. 231/2001, aimed at prevention the commission of particular types of crimes (for facts which, apparently committed for the benefit of the company, may entail administrative liability for crime based on the provisions of the decree itself). Villa Berica SpA has also established a Supervisory Body, equipped with autonomous powers of initiative and control, responsible for supervising the functioning and observance of the Model 231 and to promote its constant updating. The Supervisory Body has been assigned, among other things, the task of:

• verify the effective adoption and correct application of the control protocols envisioned by the Model 231. It is noted, however, that control activities are delegated to the primary responsibility of operational management and are considered an integral part of every company process ("line control"), hence the importance of a staff training process;
• carry out, also through the operational support of the front office, periodic targeted checks on certain operations or specific acts carried out, above all, in the context of sensitive activities, the results of which are summarized in a specific report whose content will be exposed in the communications to the corporate bodies, as described below;
• collect, process and store relevant information regarding compliance with Model 231;
• monitor initiatives for the dissemination of knowledge and understanding of Model 231.

Any violation or suspected violation of Model 231 can be reported to the Supervisory Body.

Reports can be sent in the following way:

• E-Mail: odv.231@villaberica.com
• Address: Supervisory Body of Villa Berica S.p.A. – Via Capparozzo, 10 – 36100 Vicenza

In order to guarantee the availability, for potential whistleblowers, of an additional channel that complies with the requirements of the legislation on whistleblowing, reports can also be sent via email to the following personal email address (not pertaining to the domain of the Company) which can only be accessed by the Supervisory Body e-mail: odv231berica@gmail.com.
