• objective scope: the offenses that can be reported are defined, including administrative, accounting, civil or criminal violations, and violations of European Union acts relating to various sectors such as public procurement, product safety, environmental protection, and public health;
• extended protection: protection is extended to a greater number of individuals who make reports, complaints or public disclosures, including self-employed workers, collaborators, volunteers and trainees;
• protection of confidentiality: the importance of confidentiality of both the whistleblower and the reported party is reaffirmed, with specific provisions on the processing of personal data and measures to prevent retaliation;
• reporting channels: three channels are established:

1. internal (in the context of the work context),
2. external (at the ANAC), and the

The ISO 31030 Guidelines, relating to the planning and implementation of the Travel Risk Management (TRM) activity, collect the best international best practices in the field.

In an international context characterized by wars, pandemics, geopolitical crises and worrying climate events, the management of risks related to business trips and worker travel has become one of the key points within the broader concept of human resource security.

The guidelines place on employers a strict 'duty of care' towards their employees. Precisely because of the obligation to take care of all staff, the company must guarantee, among other things, optimal management of Travel Risk Management.

Through the application of the best international standards, our services ensure companies avoid accidents, thus also increasing employee confidence.

The Travel Risk Management process begins with the study and understanding of the reference context, the definition of objectives, roles and responsibilities, the assessment of risks related to the various destinations and the formulation of procedures aimed at mitigating travel threats.

Subsequently, the implementation of ISO 31030 requires specific training for personnel, according to a preventive approach, and continuous monitoring and contact with the employee while traveling.

With thirty years of experience and a professionalism that characterizes us at an international level, we offer continuous support from the beginning to the end of the Travel Risk Management process, ensuring the safety of employees and the company itself.
