On 9 July 2015, the Italian Corporate Governance Committee held a meeting at Borsa Italiana headquarters, chaired by Mr. Gabriele Galateri di Genola.
The Committee discussed the evolution of monitoring the implementation of the Corporate Governance Code , as well as the development of national regulation and international best practices.
The Committee approved small changes to the Code, aimed at realizing Corporate Social Responsibility principles, enhancing internal corporate safeguards to meet legal requirements and transparency, and incorporating some recommendations included in the 2014 Annual Report.
In addition, as clarified in the meeting, the Committee will consider further amendments to the Code on a two-year basis.
