Jungle Srl (hereinafter referred to as “JUNGLE” or the “Company”) is aware that the authority of a company is recognized not only by the competence of its collaborators and the high quality of the service provided to customers, but also by the attention paid to the needs of the entire community.
The principles that have always inspired the work of this Company are formally collected in a Code of Ethics of Conduct in the belief that reliability is built daily by respecting standards and valuing people.
This Code of Ethics represents, therefore, a distinctive and identifying element in relation to the market and third parties, the knowledge and sharing of which, required of all those who work in the Company or collaborate with it, constitute the foundation of our activity and the first step to concur in the pursuit of our vision.
Therefore, JUNGLE’s goal is to pursue excellence in the market in which it operates, through Sustainable Development, safeguarding the Environment and the Safety of the people involved through the consistency of behavior that respects Social Ethics, achieve satisfaction and ensure added value for the Employee, for the Customer and, in general, for the Community.
This Code of Ethics (hereinafter, the “Code”) illustrates the set of ethical and moral principles that underlie JUNGLE’s activities as well as the lines of conduct adopted by the Company both within its business (in relations between employees and close associates) and externally (in relations with institutions, suppliers, customers, business partners, political and trade union organizations as well as the media – hereinafter, the “Stakeholders”).
Compliance with these principles is of fundamental importance in achieving JUNGLE’s corporate mission and ensuring its reputation in the socio-economic context in which it operates.
Preliminarily, it should be noted that JUNGLE firmly believes that every activity must be carried out ethically, recognizing itself in the principle enshrined in Article 41 of the Italian Constitution, according to which private economic initiative “may not be carried out in conflict with social utility or in such a way as to be detrimental to security, freedom, and human dignity.”
This Code is binding on the directors and employees of JUNGLE, as well as all those who work and collaborate, on a permanent or temporary basis, on behalf of the Company (hereinafter, the “Recipients”).
The Code will be widely disseminated within the internal governance structure, and widely communicated externally, possibly including through its website.
JUNGLE also undertakes to adopt any further provisions so that the principles and requirements of the Code can be timely disseminated and applied.
The conduct of the Recipients, at all levels of the company, is guided by the principles of legality, fairness, non-discrimination, confidentiality, diligence, and loyalty.
JUNGLE operates in absolute compliance with the law and this Code.
All Recipients are therefore required to comply with all applicable regulations and to keep abreast of legislative developments, including by taking advantage of the training opportunities offered by JUNGLE.

In turn, the Recipients shall not make donations of money or goods to third parties or otherwise offer illicit benefits or favors of any kind (except objects of modest value or business courtesy gifts authorized by the Company) in connection with the activity they perform for the benefit of JUNGLE.
The intrinsic belief that they are acting in the best interests of the Company does not exempt Recipients from their obligation to observe the rules and principles of this Code punctually.
In its relations with Stakeholders and in particular in the selection and management of personnel, work organization, choice, selection and management of suppliers, as well as in its relations with Bodies and Institutions, JUNGLE avoids and repudiates any discrimination concerning the age, sex, race, sexual orientation, state of health, political and trade union opinions, religion, culture and nationality of its interlocutors.

In the case of asset or economic items based on valuations and estimates, the related recording must be inspired by criteria of reasonableness and prudence.

By following these principles, JUNGLE therefore pursues a program of continuous improvement designed to involve its key stakeholders, including the supply chain.
Aware of the possible negative impacts of events on the environmental and socio-economic spheres, JUNGLE also commits to evaluating and preventing potential risks, in compliance with regulations and with the human right to a healthy and safe environment for all.
Relations with Authorities and Public Administration must be marked by the utmost clarity, transparency and cooperation, in full compliance with the law and according to the highest moral and professional standards.
The Recipients, unless expressly authorized, may not relate in the name and on behalf of JUNGLE with the Authorities and the Public Administration.
In relations with Public Officials, Persons in Charge of a Public Service, and the Public Administration in general, the Authorized Recipients shall adhere to the highest standards of fairness and integrity, refraining from any form of pressure, explicit or veiled, aimed at obtaining any undue advantage for themselves or for JUNGLE.
In this regard, authorized Recipients will be required to strictly comply with the provisions of this Code, as well as, more generally, with the directives issued by JUNGLE management.
JUNGLE does not favor or discriminate against any political or trade union organization.
The Company refrains from making any undue contribution in any form whatsoever to parties, trade unions or other social formations, except for specific exceptions and in any case always within the limits of what is permitted by current regulations.
Recipients are required to refrain from any direct, indirect or boastful pressure on political figures or union representatives.
Recipients shall deal with third parties with courtesy, competence and professionalism, in the belief that the protection of the company’s image and reputation and consequently the achievement of the company’s objectives depend on their conduct.
In particular, Recipients must refrain from any form of unfair or deceptive behavior that could lead customers or suppliers to rely on unfounded facts or circumstances.
Recipients are expected to make consistent efforts to provide timely and high-quality services to customers, seeking to limit any form of disservice or delay in order to maximize customer satisfaction.

Recipients must put in place every possible control so that suppliers and customers are also able to comply with the fundamental ethical principles set forth in this Code.
Compliance with the requirements of this Code is entrusted to the prudent, reasonable and careful supervision of each of the Recipients, within their respective roles and functions within the company.

JUNGLE’s management and the bodies appointed for this purpose shall take all necessary measures to put an end to violations, being able to resort to any disciplinary measure in compliance with the law and workers’ rights, including trade union rights.
The internal control system is geared towards the adoption of tools and methodologies aimed at countering potential business risks, in order to ensure compliance not only with the law, but also with internal provisions and procedures.
In fact, violation of the principles set forth in the Code and the procedures indicated in the internal controls compromises the fiduciary relationship between the Company and its directors, employees, consultants, collaborators in various capacities, customers, suppliers, business and financial partners.
Such violations will therefore be immediately prosecuted by JUNGLE in an incisive and timely manner through the adoption of appropriate and proportionate disciplinary measures.
The effects of violations of the Code of Ethics and internal protocols must be taken into account by all those who, in any capacity, have dealings with JUNGLE. Depending on the seriousness of the conduct engaged in by the person involved in one of the unlawful activities set forth in the Code, JUNGLE will take appropriate action without delay, regardless of the possible prosecution by the judicial authorities.
Notwithstanding the above, conduct in violation of the Code of Ethics constitutes:
The identification and application of sanctions will always take into account the general principles of proportionality and appropriateness with respect to the violation alleged.
In all the aforementioned cases, JUNGLE also reserves the right to exercise all actions it deems appropriate for compensation for damages suffered as a result of conduct in violation of the Code of Ethics.
