In carrying out their activities, Recipients must not accept donations, favors, or benefits of any kind (except for items of modest value) and, in general, must not accept any counterpart in order to grant advantages to third parties in an improper manner. Likewise, Recipients must not make monetary donations or provide goods to third parties or offer any illicit benefits or favors (except for items of modest value or authorized commercial courtesy gifts from the Company) in connection with the activities they perform for the benefit of Proramillenote SRL. The intrinsic conviction of acting in the Company’s interest does not exempt Recipients from the obligation to promptly observe the rules and principles of this Code.

Non-discrimination
In relations with Stakeholders and particularly in the selection and management of personnel, in work organization, in the selection and management of suppliers, as well as in relations with Entities and Institutions, Proramillenote SRL avoids and repudiates any discrimination concerning age, sex, race, sexual orientation, health status, political and union opinions, religion, culture, and nationality of its interlocutors.
