CODE OF ETHICS

The Dalla Rosa Prati Medical Centre operates fully respecting the Code of Ethics drafted according to the current regulations (art. 11 legge 11/9/2000 n. 300, D.lgs. 08/06/2001 n. 231, Legge 06/11/2012 n. 190) with the awareness that a conduct based on the principles of equality, diligence, correctness and loyalty is an obligation and an important driver for the country’s economic and social growth.

Code of Ethics Principles
The Legislative Decree of 8th June 2001 n.231 concerns the administrative liability of legal entities, companies and associations including those without legal status, outlining the general principles and award criteria.
The Decree has introduced into Italian law a system of administrative liability to be assumed by companies if they commit offense for their own interest or advantage, as listed in the Decree. The company’s responsibility also refers that of the individual who effectively committed the crime.
The abovementioned decree holds the body responsible for offenses committed in its own interest or advantage:

1. From natural persons that assume the roles of representation, administration or management, or of organisational units with financial and functional autonomy, or by persons that manage, even de facto, and control the unit.
2. From natural persons who are managed or supervised by one of the parties listed above.
   It is implied that the company is not liable if the individuals indicated have acted exclusively for their own interest or for the interest of third parties.

The aim of the Organisational Model is to build a structured and organic system of procedures and control activities that targets to prevent offenses set forth in D. Lgs, 231/2001, by identifying potentially criminal activities and their consequent subjection to legal action.  

By adopting this Model, the Dalla Rosa Prati Medical Centre – European Diagnostic Centre will pursue the following main objectives:

• Establish the values of ethics and respect for equality;
• Inform Model recipients of the risk of incurring offenses that are liable to criminal penalties to themselves as individuals or to the company through administrative penalties, in case of violating the provisions contained therein;
• Reiterate that such illicit forms of conduct are strongly condemned by the Dalla Rosa Prati Medical Centre – European Diagnostic Centre, (even if in a given condition the Company seems to be in an advantageous position) not merely for the legal provisions in place but also because they are contrary to the ethical principles to which the company adheres to;
• Permit the company to timely intervene in order to prevent or contradict the implementations of such offenses, by monitoring areas at risk.
