Anti-corruption GRI - G4: 56, SO3

Snam has long been committed to implementing its anti-corruption compliance programme, which this year focused on training executives and managers as well as staff working in the areas of the Company deemed to be most susceptible to corruption. Overall in 2015, we delivered 3,025 training hours to 1,920 participants on the Code of Ethics, Model 231 and anti-corruption.

In 2015, Snam also wanted to step up its anti-corruption oversight vis-à-vis suppliers. Our supply chain is spread throughout Italy and we are strongly linked to it: those who supply us with goods and services are an integral part of our human capital and help to create value because they are directly involved in the core processes of developing and maintaining the infrastructure network.

Snam believes that creating valuable partnerships with its suppliers means, above all, having transparent and ethical relationships with them in full compliance with the principle of free competition, and involving them in our long-term performance with a view to enjoying reciprocal growth in compliance with the law.

In order to formalise this reciprocity, Snam asks its suppliers to sign up to an Ethics and Integrity Agreement that aims to ensure transparent relations, professional morality throughout the supply chain (including subcontractors) and for the entire duration of the relationship, and powers to intervene in the event of non-compliance or breaches, under the terms and conditions established in Group procedures.

In 2015, Snam wanted to dedicate part of its annual event “Quality and transparency in company-supplier relations” to transparency and anti-corruption. Over 420 participants, comprising Snam personnel and suppliers, took part in the workshop, which was also attended by senior management.
