Partnership for Legality with Institutions

The integrity of our supply chain represents a key commitment for Fincantieri. Among the measures adopted, agreements between the public and private sectors play a crucial role in ensuring transparency, security, and reliability in economic activities of strategic importance for the country.

In this context, Fincantieri has signed a Legality Protocol with the Ministry of the Interior and a Memorandum of Understanding relating to collaboration relationships with Guardia di Finanza, with the aim of preventing corruption, money laundering, and unlawful conduct within the production supply chains.

Having identified the procurement system within our supply chain as a key element for our ability to develop and raise our competitive standing in our reference markets, we have always paid constant attention, also in this context, to ensuring maximum transparency.

As the Fincantieri Group, it is in fact in our interest to ensure respect for legality and to defend the market from interference by organized crime, as well as undue interference and pressures from common criminals, preventing any possible infiltration attempt by organized crime during the process of awarding tenders, in capital expenditure, and in production activities.

To this end, since 1999 we have been working on improved cooperation with the relevant local authorities and, over time, have arrived at signing Legality and Transparency Protocols, which led to the signing of a single National Framework Tender Protocol with the Ministry of the Interior on 2017, which we have further renewed on June 3, 2025 with a new Legality Protocol, with respect to which the related implementation aspects are being finalized.

The new agreement strengthens an existing institutional collaboration and introduces new preventive measures aimed at countering any attempts of organized crime infiltration into the Group's activities.

Under the agreement, we also require our supply, contracting, and subcontracting chain to ensure the highest levels of transparency and integrity and fulfil their obligations to counter and report any illicit phenomena, and to adopt the highest standards in terms of contribution regularity, workplace safety, and environmental protection.

We have signed with the Guardia di Finanza a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at strengthening cooperation to prevent and fight criminal infiltrations and irregularities in the economic and production sectors.

The agreement, pioneering in its content, establishes a joint effort to protect legality, with a focus on preventing and combating economic and financial crimes, fraud, corruption, and illegal labor practices, enhancing the exchange of relevant data and information with significant preventive value and facilitating the identification of high-risk sectors and phenomena.

This agreement falls within the initiatives already undertaken by Fincantieri to ensure the highest standards of integrity and transparency, which engaged in strengthening the bond between business and community, promoting a model of sustainable and ethic development.
