Beste adopts the Organizational Model 231

Legislative Decree 231/2001 is an Italian law that regulates the administrative responsibility of legal entities, companies, and associations, even those without legal personality, for offenses committed in the interest or to the advantage of these entities. Legislative Decree 231/2001 identifies the Organizational and Management Model 231 as a fundamental tool to exempt a company from administrative liability related to offenses.

The main objective of this adoption is corporate prevention, seeking to create an ethical work environment and regulatory compliance, thereby reducing the risk that individuals associated with the company may commit unlawful acts. The implementation of Legislative Decree 231/2001 may involve defining an organizational and management model, establishing a supervisory body, and adopting internal procedures to prevent specific offenses.

Among the typical protocols are the Code of Ethics, the disciplinary system, the Supervisory Body (SB), and specific procedures for areas at risk. For the Model to be effective, the organization must assess the risk, implement specific risk management procedures, and define a management structure for crime prevention. Crime Risk Management, through the Organizational Model 231, is a preventive activity that identifies business areas at risk of conflict between the economic interests of the company and other legally relevant interests. The organizational model seeks to prevent this conflict through appropriate controls and prudent management of delegations and powers.
