ANTI-BRIBERY POLICY

1. SCOPE

The purpose of this document is to outline the general anti-bribery principles as defined by Hrit Srl in order to develop an efficient and adequate Anti-Bribery Management System. The Anti-Bribery Policy represents expectations of the behavioural objectives established by Hrit Srl for all its employees and business partners. For this reason, all company staff and business associates are invited to read this document carefully, given that it is the responsibility of everyone to prevent, detect and report any form of bribery. For this reason, appropriate confidential channels have been set up for the reporting of any suspicion of bribery.

2. DESCRIPTION

Hrit Srl considers the primary objective of anti-bribery to be the prevention, tracing and tackling of bribery. Hrit Srl does not acknowledge exceptions to the prescriptions and prohibitions set out within this Policy. The belief of having acted in the interests of the organization does not, in any way, justify the adoption of behaviour contrary to these aforementioned principles.

The principles and rules referred to in the present Policy view as unlawful for staff, the Company, Business Partners and any individual exercising an activity in favour of or on behalf of the Company, the offer, payment or acceptance, directly or indirectly, of money of other benefits for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining business or securing an unjust advantage in relation to business activities. Useful definitions include:

1. Bribery: The offer, promise, provision, acceptance or request of an undue advantage of any value (which may be economic or non), directly or indirectly, and regardless of location, violating the current law, as an incentive or reward for a person to act or omit actions in connection with the performance of that person's duties.

11. Availability: Information must be available promptly, when required by company processes, both efficiently and effectively;

16. Corrective action: Action aimed at eliminating the cause of non-conformity and preventing its recurrence.

17. Continuous improvement: Reoccurring performance improvement activities.

18. Staff: Managers, officers, employees, staff or temporary and voluntary workers of the organization. Different types of staff pose different types and degrees of bribery risk and can be treated distinctly in terms of the procedures for assessing the risk of bribery and managing the organizational risk of bribery.

19. Business partner: External party with which the organization has established, or plans to establish, any form of commercial relationship. Business partners include, but are not limited to, customers, buyers, “joint ventures”, joint venture partners, consortium partners, external suppliers, contractors, consultants, subcontractors, vendors, experts, agents, distributors, representatives, intermediaries and investors.

21. Third party: Person or entity independent of the organization.

3. FIELD OF APPLICATION
