In 2020 Andriani S.p.A. Benefit Corporation and B Corp underwent a delicate transition from a family-owned company to an industrial enterprise. This was achieved by implementing a new Corporate Governance structure which improves the effectiveness and efficiency of both design and implementation of decision-making processes. Furthermore, Human Resources Management policies in line with the company's innovative approach were introduced.
To support the new Corporate Governance structure, BoD members were increased, a Management Board was established (with instructive, consultative, and propositional functions) while a new organizational chart was defined which includes seven new departments.
In September 2022 Andriani signed an agreement with NUO S.p.A. which became a minority shareholder. This partnership, resulting from a lengthy selection process in which shared values and relationships played a key role, reflects the company's desire to expand its reach and accelerate its development on different fronts (especially in the American and Asian markets).
In November 2022 Andriani's Governance was further strengthened with a new board, an expanded set of qualified expertise supporting a new phase of growth and transformation into an innovation food platform.
Organizational and Management Model pursuant to Legislative Decree n. 231/2001
Andriani has adopted an Organizational, Management, and Control Model (231 Model) by resolution of the BoD: this model formalizes the set of measures aimed at preventing offences as provided by Legislative Decree n. 231/2001 within activities identified as sensitive to potential risk of committing an offence under the same decree.
Furthermore, Andriani has also established a collective Supervisory Body. This Body (appointed by the BoD and endowed with independent supervisory and control powers) has the task of overseeing the functioning and observance of the Model while ensuring its updating.
Code of Ethics
The principles expressed in 231 Model are consistent with those provided in the Group's Code of Ethics adopted by resolution of the BoD. The Code states guidelines and principles of behavior aimed at preventing offences as provided by Legislative Decree no. 231/01 – among other things – and explicitly refers to 231 Model as a useful tool to operate in compliance with regulations. Therefore, the Code of Ethics should be considered part of 231 Model itself and an important means to achieve its goals.
