Trade Compliance oversees the implementation of the Trade Compliance Programme, interacting with the competent institutional bodies in the field of export/import of Defence and dual use products and ensuring the performance of all administrative duties at national and international level.
Business Compliance ensures the performance of due diligence activities and ethical-reputational verifications with reference to the assignment of consultancy and commercial promotion assignments. It also prepares the relevant contracts.
Partnership Compliance ensures the ethical-reputational verification activities of Third Parties (Partners) who intend to collaborate with the Leonardo Group for the definition of a partnership concerning business development, marketing, and sales activities.
Through its central and divisional structures, Compliance ensures adequate monitoring of legal risks aimed at preventing behaviours not compliant to the rules. In coordination with the other company functions, it supports the training activities leading to a constant increasing compliance culture, contributing to the creation of effective compliance and the maintenance of the commitment to zero tolerance with respect to behaviours in contrast with corporate values.
Compliance ensures adequate information flows in favor of top management, governing bodies and first tier executives, updating periodically the Control and Risks Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors.
