Reports pursuant to Article 1(2) of Legislative Decree 24/2023 may not:
- concern objections, claims or requests of a personal nature of the reporting person that relate exclusively to their individual working relationships, including with hierarchically superior figures, or any other possible administrative, accounting, civil and criminal offences of any kind, other than those previously mentioned.
- Reports of breaches that are already regulated by the Community acts listed in Part II of the Annex to Legislative Decree 24/2023;
- Matters of national security and defence.
The whistleblower should not face discrimination as a result of the report, as outlined in Articles 16 and 17 of Legislative Decree 24/2023. This protection applies if, at the time of the report, the whistleblower has reasonable grounds to believe that the reported breaches are true and relevant. On the contrary, the protection for whistleblowers ceases when criminal liability is established, including by a first-degree judgement, for offences of defamation or slander, or for offences committed in relation to the report. Similarly, the protection will lapse if the whistleblower's civil liability is established in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence. It is important to note that Kuwait Petroleum Italia S.p.A. reserves the right to take action to protect its interests, including defending any injured parties.
