Compliance Helpline
Compliance Helpline
The Board of Directors has established a process to ensure that Company employees and third parties have the ability to report suspected general, operational and financial wrongdoing within the Company.
The Iveco Group Compliance Helpline is operated by an independent third-party provider and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Reports can be made through a dedicated web portal, via app, by phone or to a Company representative. Where permitted by law, reports may be submitted anonymously. Additionally, where required by law, the nature of the reporting may be limited to only certain parties.
Retaliation is prohibited at Iveco Group
Iveco Group prohibits and does not tolerate any form of retaliation. The Company prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers, even if their concerns are found to be unfounded after investigation. Iveco Group is committed to providing a safe reporting environment that encourages and enables reporters to speak up and raise issues and concerns without fear of retaliation.
This service is not an emergency hotline
Concerns about an immediate threat of physical or property harm (e.g. fire, flood) should not be reported to the Compliance Helpline. If you need assistance with an emergency, contact your local police or emergency responders.
For all other complaints involving allegations of wrongdoing, please provide complete, accurate and detailed information. The Company promptly investigates all reports submitted and takes corrective action if necessary.

Guidance or clarification on issues relating to the Company’s compliance and ethics program can be obtained through the “Ask a question” channel at: https://ivecogroup.speakup.report/it/askaquestion/home.
In countries where the law requires each Legal Entity with more than 249 employees to have its own reporting channel, reports can be made either to the Group Compliance Helpline or to the Compliance Helpline of the Legal Entity concerned. In the latter case, reports can be made using a web-based registration form via the “Report a Concern” channel at: https://ivecogroup.speakup.report/it/raiseaconcern/home. If you decide to exercise the right to report at Legal Entity level, the central ethics representatives will not be involved in the management of the report and will not have access to the content of the complaint, unless it concerns more than one Legal Entity or constitutes a matter of relevance to the Group. Instead, the case will be managed by the natural persons designated for the Legal Entity concerned.
