Whistleblowing: Reporting Misconduct and Irregularities
At ASIA, we believe that transparency and integrity are the cornerstones of everything we do, both in Italy and in the countries where we operate. In accordance with Legislative Decree 24/2023, we have adopted a Whistleblowing Policy for anyone who wishes to report, in complete safety, unlawful conduct or irregularities that could harm the organisation, our staff, or the beneficiaries of our projects.
Who can submit a report?
The right to submit a report is guaranteed to everyone who works with ASIA or comes into contact with our activities:
- Employees and collaborators
- Volunteers and interns
- Partners, suppliers, and consultants
- Project beneficiaries
What can be reported?
There is no exhaustive list, but reports should concern specific, well-founded facts relating to:
- Fraud, corruption or money laundering, and the unauthorised use of funds
- Physical, psychological or sexual violence, abuse, or mistreatment of beneficiaries or staff
- Risks to health and safety in the workplace
- Violations of the Code of Ethics or applicable local and international laws
