The Protocol, based on a system of information and consultation for the involvement of the Unions themselves in the consultation and comprehension of the Group’s strategic choices, marks a significant innovation in the pattern of industrial relations in our country; some business functions have been centralised, including the Internal Audit, with the goal of exercising more direct and keen control on the correctness of the processes adopted by the Group companies; a new Risk Management structure and the Group Management Committee have been set up, with the aim of coordinating and standardising the strategic decisions of the Group.
