Under the Corporate Governance Code, ENAV is classed as a large, concentrated ownership company.
In view of the social importance of the Company's operations, the main objective of ENAV's corporate governance system is to perpetuate the company's sustainable success, to create longterm value for its shareholders and appropriately balance and foster all the interests involved. The ENAV corporate governance structure is based on the traditional Italian model, which, save for the powers reserved to the Shareholders' Meeting by law and the Articles of Association, gives the Board of Directors responsibility for the strategic and operational management of the Company, while the Board of Statutory Auditors is charged with performing oversight functions.
Pursuant to Principle I of the Code, the Board of Directors' role is to pursue the Company's sustainable success, as well as to make decisions about the definition of strategies and monitor their implementation, as well as to establish the most functional corporate governance system for the business and for pursuing its strategies, taking into account the system's space for autonomy. The way in which the Board of Directors integrates the Company's sustainable success within its strategies is detailed in section 3.9, in the section on remuneration policies in section 6, and in section 5 on the Internal Control and Risk Management System. In these areas, the Board of Directors is supported by the Sustainability Committee to analyse matters relevant to long-term value generation. Further information on the composition and role of the Sustainability Committee is provided in section 4.3.
In accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors has appointed a Chief Executive Officer, who has been granted all powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company, while reserving decisions on certain matters to itself. The Chief Executive Officer is thus the person primarily responsible for the management of the Company, without prejudice to the powers and responsibilities reserved to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors also granted the Chair the authority to coordinate internal auditing activities and, together with the Chief Executive Officer, responsibility for managing national and international institutional relations and chairing the governing body. The Chair, in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer, also handles the Company's external communication activities and relations with national and foreign media.
The model adopted by the Company separates of the functions of the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, while both are responsible for representing the Company.
In accordance with the Articles of Association and the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors has established three internal committees to provide advice and recommendations to the Board: the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and the Sustainability Committee, which report to the Board through their respective Chairmen at every Board meeting.
The Board of Directors, acting on a proposal of the Chief Executive Officer and taking note of the favourable opinion issued by the Board of Auditors in accordance with Article 18-bis of the Articles of Association, also appointed the Financial Reporting Officer in charge of drafting the Company's financial statements for the three-year period 2020-2022.
The task of performing independent statutory audit functions for the period from 2016 to 2024 is carried out by the audit firm EY S.p.A., which is entered in the register of audit firms and was appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2016, acting on a proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The performance of ENAV shares during the year and up to the date of the Report was mainly influenced by exogenous factors tied both to the ongoing travel restrictions imposed in 2021 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, and to the trends of the vaccination campaigns in Italy and worldwide; it was also affected by changing legislation (with the European Commission amending the tariff regulations for the two-year period 2020-2021), as well as by the start of the war in Ukraine.

The pandemic and resulting crisis in the air transport sector have brought about profound changes to the reference context for the ENAV Group, with significant operational impacts. In turn, the Enterprise Risk Management process was adjusted to update the Corporate Risk Profile, the Risk Appetite Statement, the Risk Treatment Plan and the Key Risk Indicators system in 2021, as well as to execute Risk Monitoring in October.
The risk appetite levels proposed in the 2021 Risk Appetite Statement are in line with those approved at the start of 2020; only slight changes having been made to the Category and Topics qualitative guidelines where this was deemed necessary in light of the experience gained.
The ICRMS guidelines most recently adopted by the Board Resolution of 3 August 2021 incorporate certain alignments to the Corporate Governance Code and better specify and explain certain roles and activities.
The Risk Monitoring carried out during the year substantially confirmed the risk profile established in the Corporate Risk Profile, showing an overall decrease in the negative impact of the pandemic on the ENAV Group's activities (mainly in operational, financial and strategic terms).
In early 2022, amid the escalation of the war in Ukraine, all steps were taken to assess and monitor the related risks for ENAV's business and its continuity, including in terms of the cybersecurity risk, as also recommended by Consob, and to ensure full compliance with the sanctions imposed by the European Union in connection with the conflict.

available to these associations in accordance with the terms and procedures agreed with their legal representatives.
In this financial year, ENAV's Investor Relations unit maintained an ongoing and constructive dialogue with the LAGE (Lavoratori Azionisti Gruppo ENAV – ENAV Group Shareholder Employees) association, mainly in the form of periodic meetings, updating it on Company activities.
As of the date of this Report, the association does not meet the requirements established by the Consolidated Law and accordingly the provisions of Article 8.1 of the Articles of Association described above do not apply to it.
The ENAV Articles of Association do not establish any restrictions of the transfer of the Company's shares, although they are subject to the application of specific statutory provisions. The Company is subject to the provisions of Decree-Law No. 21 of 15 March 2012, converted with the modifications into Law No. 56 of 11 May 2012 ("Legislative Decree 21/2012"), concerning the special powers of the Italian State (the "golden powers") regarding strategic assets in the (i) energy, transportation and communications sectors and in the (ii) defence and national security field, with the further amendments introduced by Article 4-bis of Decree Law No. 105 of 21 September 2019, ratified with amendments by Law 133 of 18 November 2019 containing "Urgent measures for national cyber security and rules governing special powers in strategic sectors". In particular, the adoption of specific corporate resolutions by the Company or the purchase of specific significant equity interests in the share capital of ENAV could be limited by these special powers.
These regulations gives the State the power to: (a) veto resolutions, acts and transactions that – in giving rise to a change in the ownership, control or availability of the assets themselves or a change in their use – create an exceptional situation, not governed by national or European legislation, that seriously jeopardises the public interest concerning the security and operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supply; b) qualify the effectiveness of an acquisition of any type by a non-European Union entity of interests of such significance as to result in the permanent establishment of the purchaser as a result of the acquisition of control of the company, in accordance with Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 93 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, if this purchase seriously jeopardises the public interest concerning the security and operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supply, requiring that entity to make commitments to ensure the protection of such interests; and c) oppose the acquisition referred to under point (b) above should it pose an exceptional risk to the protection of the public interest and the operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supply that cannot be eliminated by commitments of the acquiring entity to ensure the protection of such interests. Other limitations on governance and transactions may be imposed on firms "within the scope of national cybernetic security".
ENAV holds certain assets that are strategic assets in the field of defence and national security and, therefore, is subject to Article 1 of Legislative Decree 21/2012 and the associated implementing provisions.
This means that if there is an actual threat seriously prejudicing the essential interests of national defence and security, the State can: (i) impose specific conditions concerning the security of supply, the security of information, the transfer of technology or the control of exports in the event of an acquisition, in any capacity, of interests in these companies; (ii) veto the adoption of resolutions by the shareholders' meeting or the boards of these companies that concern the merger or demerger of the company, the transfer of the company or units thereof or of subsidiaries, the transfer of the registered office abroad, the amendment of the corporate purpose, the dissolution of the company, the amendment of any clause of the Articles of Association adopted in accordance with Article 2351(3) of the Italian Civil Code or introduced in accordance with Article 3(1) of Decree-Law 332/1994, the assignment of property rights or rights of use over tangible or intangible assets or the imposition of restrictions that affect their use; and (iii) oppose the acquisition, in any capacity, of interests in such companies by an entity other than the Italian State, Italian public entities or entities controlled by the latter, if the purchaser will hold – directly or indirectly, including through subsequent acquisitions, through a third party or entities that are otherwise connected – an interest in the voting capital of a size that could, in this specific case, compromise national defence and security interests.
Further restrictions on the transfer of securities derive from the implementation of the 2017- 2019 Performance Share Plan, referred to in the Information Document drawn up in accordance with Article 84-bis of the Issuers Regulation and approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2017 ("2017-2019 LTI Plan"), and the 2020-2022 Performance Share Plan, referred to in the Information Document drawn up in accordance with Article 84-bis of the Issuers Regulation approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 May 2020 ("2020-2022 LTI Plan"), of which the Implementing Rules make 30% of the shares granted to the Chief Executive Officer and other beneficiaries subject to an overall vesting and retention period of five years. Both of the current long-term variable incentive share plans were approved under the previous Corporate Governance Code.
For more information on the lock-up mechanism of the Company long-term variable incentive system as detailed in the Plan Rules, please see the Remuneration Report drafted in accordance with Articles 123-ter of the Consolidated Law and Article 84-quater of the Issuers Regulation, made available to the public on the Company website (at www.enav.it) and through the other means established by the applicable law.
In accordance with the provisions of Art. 3 of Legislative Decree No. 332 of 31 May 1994 (ratified with amendments with Law 474 of 30 July 1994), ENAV's Articles of Association impose a limit on share ownership that produces gives the holding an equity interest of more than 5% of ENAV's share capital. This provision does not apply to the interest held by the MEF, by public entities or by entities controlled by the latter.
The limitation does not prohibit holding shares in an amount higher than the specified threshold, but does therefore prohibit the exercise of the administrative rights attaching to the shares held in excess of the maximum limit of 5%.
Accordingly, if the maximum shareholding limit is exceeded by several entities/individuals, the voting rights that would accrue to each party subject to the limitation on the interest they hold will be reduced proportionally, save for prior joint instructions issued by the shareholders involved.
In the event of non-compliance, the resulting resolution can be challenged in accordance with the applicable law if the required majority would not have been reached without the votes in excess of the maximum limit indicated above. Shares in respect of which voting rights cannot be exercised are nevertheless calculated for the purposes of determining the legitimate formation of the Shareholders' Meeting.
The aforementioned limit of 5% will lapse if it is exceeded as a result of the public tender offer provided that the offeror will hold, following the tender, an interest of at least 75% of the share capital with voting rights in connection with resolutions concerning the appointment or removal of the members of the Board of Directors or of the management board or of the supervisory board.
As of the date of this Report there is no knowledge of the existence of shareholder agreements in accordance with Article 122 of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
ENAV has been granted a number of bank loans and issued a bond in a private placement, expiring next August, which allow the counter-party to terminate the contract in advance in the event of a change of control involving the Company.
For more information on these agreement, readers are invited to consult the Annual Financial Report 2020, note 40 "Managing financial risk" of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which is published on the Company's website.
The Articles of Association do not provide for exceptions to the passivity rule in accordance with Article 104(1) and (1-bis) of the Consolidated Law and do not envisage the application of the neutralisation rules under Article 104-bis(2) and (3) of the Consolidated Law.
As of the date of this Report, the Board of Directors has not been authorised to increase the share capital in accordance with Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, nor can it issue other participating financial instruments.
As of the date of this Report, the Company holds 518,823 treasury shares, equal to 0.0958% of share capital. The shares, with an initial quantity of 1,200,000, were purchased, in accordance with the authorisation approved by the 2018 Shareholders' Meeting, on the basis of the resolution of the Board of Directors of 31 May 2018 in order to follow up the 2017-2019 LTI Plan, and were reduced in 2021 following the actual allocation to the beneficiaries of the second cycle of said LTI Plan in accordance with its Implementing Rules.
ENAV is not subject to the management and coordination of the MEF in accordance with Article 2497 of the Italian Civil Code, as provided for in Article 19(6) of Decree-Law No. 78 of 1 July 2009 (ratified by Law No. 102 of 3 August 2009), which specified that the rules set out in the Italian Civil Code regarding the management and coordination of companies do not apply to the Italian State.

Amendments of the Articles of Association are adopted by the Company's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting with the majorities required by law.
Notwithstanding the above, Article 17 of the Articles of Association gives the Board of Directors the power to approve, among other things, amendments of the Articles of Association that are expressly required by law.
ENAV has always believed that constant control of its corporate governance and its alignment with Italian and international best practice are essential to achieving the Company's objectives. To that end, the Company complies with the self-governance instruments of listed companies, whereby the Corporate Governance Committee constantly adapts to best practices encountered by way of research and comparisons with other markets.
By way of its resolution on 18 February 2021, in order to emphasise the Company's full adherence to the rules of good corporate governance among other things, the Board of Directors approved ENAV's adhesion to the new Code, the principles and recommendations of which – as pointed out in this Report – are in broad alignment with the Company's corporate governance.
The Company is not subject to foreign provisions of law impacting its corporate governance structure.
The Board of Directors is the central body of the corporate governance system and is vested with the broadest powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company. The Articles of Association establish that ENAV is managed by a Board of Directors composed of no fewer than five and no more than nine members and designates the Shareholders' Meeting as the body responsible for determining such number within that range.
The members of the Board of Directors shall remain in office for a period not exceeding three years, which expires on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last year of their term.

Fabiola Mascardi, Carlo Paris and Antonio Santi were elected based on the slate submitted by institutional investors.
At its meeting on 21 May 2020, the Board of Directors thus appointed Paolo Simioni as Chief Executive Officer of ENAV.

On 24 March 2022, as part of its periodic checks on whether its members fulfil the requirements of the law and Articles of Association, the Board of Directors assessed the fulfilment of the independence requirements, in accordance with the Code and the policy relating to the criteria and procedure for assessing the independence of ENAV Directors, as approved by way of resolution of the Board of Directors passed on 18 February 2021. This policy (also taking account of Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code) aims to predetermine the quantitative and qualitative criteria to be applied when assessing the significance of the reports referred to in points (c) and (d) of said Recommendation, and to provide guidance in the process of verifying
the independence requirements, while implementing the provisions of the Code based on the specific characteristics of the Company. In addition to the pre-determination of the thresholds of presumed significance, the aforementioned policy includes the general principles ruling on the independence assessment process, including with specific regard to the duties of disclosure and assessment of each Director, the prevalence of substance over form, of a non-exhaustive nature and not of the cases of symptomatic lack of independence declined therein, the frequency and methodology of the assessments of independence and disclosure of the same to the market.
Based on the assessments of the director's fulfilment of said requirements (carried out by the Board of Directors under the supervision of the Board of Statutory Auditors), as of the date of this Report, 7 out of 9 ENAV Directors have been found to be independent pursuant to both the Consolidated Law on Finance and the Code.

Antonio is also a member of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee.
Directors must meet the integrity and professionalism requirements established pursuant to the law and regulations, as well as Article 11-bis.1 of the Articles of Association.
Directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates presented by the shareholders, in which the candidates must be listed using consecutive numbers. On penalty of inadmissibility, slates shall be drawn up and filed at the Company's registered office and published in compliance with the applicable provisions of law and with these Articles of Association.
Only shareholders who alone or together with other shareholders represent at least 2.5% of the share capital or any other amount established by Consob through its own regulation, which was equal in 2022 to 1% of ENAV share capital (see Decision no. 60 of 28 January 2022 of the head of the Corporate Governance Division of Consob), are entitled to submit slates. Each slate shall include at least two candidates who meet the independence requirements, mentioning those candidates separately and placing one of them in first position on the slate.
According to Article 11.bis.3 of the Articles of Association, slates with a number of candidates equal to or greater than three must include candidates of a different gender, as indicated in the notice of call to the Shareholders' Meeting, so as to ensure that the composition of the Board of Directors is compliant with the applicable laws on gender balance. In this regard, it should be noted that Article 147-ter of the Consolidated Law, as amended by Law 160 of 27 December 2019, establishes that directors shall be appointed so as to ensure gender balance such that the less represented gender should hold at least two-fifths of the positions on the management body. These new rules shall apply for six consecutive terms. The regulations under Article 144 undecies.1(3) of the Issuers Regulation establish that should the application of the gender allocation criterion not result in a whole number of members of the management or oversight bodies from the less represented gender, that number shall to be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Board of Directors of ENAV consists of 9 members, 4 of whom from the less represented sex, and therefore complies with the aforementioned regulations and the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code.
In terms of the diversity criteria for appointing and replacing members of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors, and the respective professionalism and competence requirements, ENAV has adopted the policy on diversity in the membership of management and oversight bodies. The policy, as published on the Company's website, essentially establishes the objectives to be pursued and the assessment criteria deemed relevant, particularly in terms of gender diversity, as required by the law and the Articles of Association, as well as diversity in terms of age, professional background, and the factors for determining the directors' independence. Lastly, the policy contains indications for the monitoring efforts of the Board in terms of application of the policy itself.
For the purpose of nominating candidates to the position of ENAV director, each shareholder may present and participate in the submission of only one slate. Their parent companies, subsidiaries or companies subject to common control may not submit, participate in the submission of or vote for other slates, including through a third party or a trust company ("subsidiaries" shall mean the companies referred to in Article 93 of the TUF currently in force or as may be replaced). Any candidate may only be included on one slate upon penalty of disqualification. The curriculum vitae of each candidate must be submitted together with each slate, upon penalty of inadmissibility, as must the statements with which the individual candidates accept their candidacy and certify, under their own responsibility, that there are no causes for ineligibility or incompatibility, and that they meet the integrity, professionalism and independence requirements prescribed by the applicable laws for their respective offices. Appointed directors must notify the Board of Directors without delay if they no longer meet any of these requirements, as well as any supervening causes of ineligibility or incompatibility. Each person entitled to vote may vote for only one slate.
If during the year, one or more directors are no longer present, the provisions of Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code shall apply. If one or more of the departing directors was drawn from a slate containing names of candidates that were not elected, replacement will take place by appointing, according to the consecutive order, persons from the slate that the departing director was listed on and who are in at that time eligible and available to accept the office. In any case the replacement of departing directors will be performed by the Board of Directors, which will ensure the presence of the necessary number of directors that meet the independence requirements and ensure compliance with the applicable laws on gender balance. If the majority of directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting no longer holds, the entire Board shall resign and a Shareholders' Meeting shall be called immediately by the remaining directors to restore the Board.
Directors must meet the integrity and professionalism requirements set by the law, by the applicable regulations and by the Articles of Association.
In particular, in accordance with Article 11-bis.1 of the Articles of Association:
Directors shall also be considered ineligible if they are committed for trial or ordered for immediate trial for any of the crimes set forth in the section above under letters a), b), c) and d), unless acquitted even under a non-definitive ruling, or if a definitive ruling is issued ascertaining the wilful commission of an offence to the detriment of the Treasury.
Any director who during the course of their office should receive notification of an order committing them to trial or immediate proceedings for any of the crimes set forth in the section above under letters a), b), c) and d), or of a definitive judgement ascertaining the wilful commission of an offence to the detriment of the Treasury shall immediately inform the Board of Directors, which shall be required to maintain confidentiality. In its first meeting thereafter or, in any case, within ten days subsequent to being informed of the rulings referred to in the third sentence above, the Board of Directors shall verify whether any of the circumstances indicated above obtain.
If the verification is positive, the director shall be removed from office for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification except if the Board of Directors, within the above-mentioned ten days, convenes a Shareholders' Meeting, to be held within the subsequent sixty days, in order to submit to such meeting a proposal that the director be retained in office, supporting such proposal on the grounds that retaining such director in office is in the overriding interest of the Company. If verification by the Board of Directors is carried out after the end of the financial year, then the proposal shall be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the relative financial statements, subject to compliance with the time limits set forth in applicable law.
If the Shareholders' Meeting does not approve the proposal of the Board of Directors, the director shall forfeit his office with immediate effect for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification. Without prejudice to the provisions of the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer who is subject to: (a) incarceration or (b) pre-trial detention or house arrest, upon the outcome of the procedure envisaged under Article 309 or Article 311(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, or after the associated time limits for establishment, shall forfeit his/her office for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification, and with the concurrent termination of all powers conferred upon him/her. Similarly, the Chief Executive Officer shall forfeit office if he/she is subject to any other type of personal pre-trial restriction that can no longer be appealed, if such measure is considered by the Board of Directors such as to render the execution of the powers conferred impossible.
For the purposes of the application of the aforementioned provisions of the Articles of Association, a plea agreement entered into in accordance with Article 444 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure is deemed equivalent to a conviction, unless the offence is extinguished. Accordingly, the Board of Directors shall ascertain the existence of the situations provided for herein, with reference to the cases which are regulated in whole or in part by foreign jurisdiction, based on an evaluation of essential equivalence.
With reference to Recommendation 24 of the Code, the Board of Directors – acting on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and essentially in line with the previous resolutions on the matter – approved a plan by way of resolution on 25 January 2022 for the succession of executive directors. Said plan – considering the corporate structure and the fact that, in accordance with the law and Articles of Association, directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates submitted by the shareholders – governs the steps to be taken in the event of early termination of the Chief Executive Officer's ahead of the usual expiry of his/her term, or in the event of unforeseen and unforeseeable events that prevent him/her from exercising his/her duties. The decision is in line with what was previously taken under the previous Corporate Governance Code in order to ensure continuity in the regular management of the Company pending the appointment of a new CEO.
The Company prepares and updates succession plans for managers with strategic responsibilities in order to ensure the maximum continuity and sustainability of operations in the long term.
In view of the body's latest renewal, by way of the resolution of 18 February 2020, the Board of Directors – in accordance with Applicable Criterion 1.C.1(h) of the previous Corporate Governance Code and taking into account the results of the three-year self-assessment process carried out, after obtaining the favourable opinion of the RAC – expressed its guidelines on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the governing body. These guidelines have been published in the "governance" section of ENAV's website and made available to the shareholders called to renew the administrative body at the 2020 Shareholders' Meeting7 .
7 In addition to indicating the managerial characteristics and professional background deemed most appropriate for appointment as an ENAV Director, the aforementioned document, from a general point of view, included indications and recommendations to shareholders for the renewal of the Board of Directors, representing the analysis of the benefits expected from a composition of the governing body. With a view to encouraging an ongoing exchange between the directors, including in terms of diversity, this can count on the presence of Directors of different sexes, age groups and seniority, with an appropriate range of professional backgrounds, with specific emphasis on: (i) experience in the air transport, infrastructure or transport sectors, gained at executive level (company director or senior roles in business or operational functions) or alternatively in an academic/institutional context; (ii) experience in the legal field, with particular regard to national and international contracts and experience of major corporate transactions, in relation to the opportunities for external business development; (iii) expertise in sustainability and
Having regard to the provisions of Recommendation 23 of the Code and taking into account the ownership structure of ENAV, which is characterised as a concentrated property company, the Board of Directors may consider expressing, in view of its renewal, an orientation on its qualitative and quantitative composition considered optimal, taking into account the results of self-assessment and any further relevant criteria and indications.
The policy on diversity in the composition of the management and oversight bodies – adopted by the Board of Directors in accordance with Principles 2.P.4 and 8.P.2 of the Self-governance Code and published on the Company website – includes certain guidelines aimed at ensuring the broadest and most appropriate range of perspectives within corporate governance, with particular regard to the training and experience of the members of the board of directors and board of auditors, while also providing for processes to monitor the application of the policy.
The policy was drafted taking account of the nature and complexity of the Company's business, of the social context within which the Company operates, of the experience of the interim Board of Directors in relation to its activities and functioning, including with regard to the committees within the Board, as has emerged also during the self-assessment process.
The policy is particularly intended for those involved in the process of selecting and appointing members of the corporate bodies – i.e. shareholders when appointing the members of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors, including the presentation of slates; the Board of Directors and the shareholders, within the scope of their respective duties, in the event it becomes necessary to replace directors mid-term in accordance with Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code.
Without prejudice to the requirements of professionalism, integrity and independence, as well as the conditions of incompatibility and/or forfeiture defined by law, regulations and by the Company's Articles of Association, the policy seeks to ensure an adequate presence on the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors of a diverse, complementary range of skill and experience in order to promote dialogue and the efficient functioning of these bodies, with particular regard to:
• experience in the air transport, infrastructure or transport sectors, gained at the executive level (chief executive officer or other senior positions in business or operations functions) or, alternatively, in academia or government service
• experience in the legal field, with particular regard to national and international contracts and experience of major corporate transactions, in relation to the opportunities for external business development
• multi-year experience in corporate governance issues gained on the corporate bodies of listed companies, possibly operating in regulated industries, so as to be able to enrich the ENAV Board with specific skills.
In referencing the provisions of law, regulations and the Articles of Association concerning gender balance, the policy establishes further diversity criteria and recommends the presence on the corporate bodies of persons with significant professional experience gained abroad and/or in major positions in companies with a high level of international exposure. The policy also recommends ensuring balance between experience, chronological age and tenure in office, and
social responsibility issues; (iv) experience in risk management and control systems, with management, accounting and financial expertise; and (v) multi-year experience in corporate governance issues gained on the corporate bodies of listed companies, possibly operating in regulated industries.
prioritising continuity on the basis of appropriate assessments of individual commitment to Board work.
Moreover, taking account of the specific selection criteria required for members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the policy seeks to ensure that those to whom the policy is addressed will take account of any additional facets of diversity that may help the Supervisory Body make a positive contribution to corporate governance.
Lastly, the policy complies with Principle VII and Recommendation 8 of the Code. Taking into account Recommendation 23 and having regard to ENAV's ownership structure (as a concentrated property company), the Board of Directors may consider whether to confirm or revise the contents of said policy.
On 18 February 2021, the Board of Directors, also taking into account Recommendation 11 of the Code, adopted its own regulation (the "Board of Directors Regulation"), which combines the Articles of Association rules, self-disciplinary regulations and best practices concerning the prerogatives and functioning of the Company's Board of Directors.
In its 16 articles, the Rules of Procedure, inter alia: (i) draws upon the content of the Articles of Association regarding the composition of the Governing Body and appointment of the directors, recalling the self-disciplinary rule of the presence of at least one-third of independent directors, in the light of Recommendation 5 of the Code, applicable to ENAV as a large and concentrated property company, as well as establishing a three-year periodicity for the revision of the overboarding policy; (ii) based on statutory provisions and existing arrangements of powers, it highlights the role and powers of the Board in pursuing the company's sustainable success; (iii) contains a survey of the prerogatives of the Chair, having regard to the activities of the Board of Directors and those of coordination of the intra-Board committees as well as in the role of guarantee that the Code assigns to the Chair with regard to the adequacy and transparency of the self-evaluation process with the support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee; (iv) provides a brief survey of the principles contained in legislation, the Articles of Association and Code which apply to the Committees as governed by their respective regulations; (v) regulates the tasks of the Board of Directors in light of the periodic evaluation of its members' independence requirements, also taking into account the predetermined "quantitative" and "qualitative" criteria in the policy relating to the criteria and procedure for assessing the independence of ENAV S.p.A. directors, as resolved on the same date by the Board of Directors; (vi) recalls the legal provisions and formalises certain practices regarding the interests of directors; (vii) in line with Recommendation 18 of the Code, regulates the figure and role of the Secretary of the Board of Directors; (viii) considers the powers of the Lead Independent Director (where appointed) based on the provisions of the Code; (ix) carries out a survey of the fundamental role of the Board of Directors in defining, with the support of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the guidelines of the internal control and risk management system. All in coordination with the relevant figures, i.e. the Director responsible for ICRMS and the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee; (x) offers a summary of the provisions of the law, the Code and the Articles of Association regarding the rules of operation of the Board of Directors, in order to guarantee the objective set by principle IX of the Code to "ensure an effective management of the information made available to the Board" by way of an orderly and complete flow of information to the Directors, regulating the ordinary and extraordinary cases of convocation, in addition to the rules for storing the documentation supporting the discussion, and methods of registration by the Secretary; (xi) incorporates the Directors' confidentiality obligations with regard to information acquired in their role, including, among other things, in accordance with the Company's Guidelines for the Management of Privileged Information, the case studies of information of a relevant or privileged nature; and (xii) regulates the arrangements for the self-assessment process of the Board of Directors, to be carried out at least once every three years, as established by Recommendation 22 of the Code for large companies with limited concentrated ownership.
In accordance with the Articles of Association and with the provisions of the BoD Regulation, Directors of ENAV accept the appointment and remain in office for as long as they believe they can dedicate the necessary time to diligently perform their duties, taking account of both their commitment associated with the work-related and professional activities and the number and nature of the offices they may hold on the management and oversight bodies of listed companies and companies that operate in the financial, banking and insurance sectors or in companies of significant size.
In this regard, in line with Recommendation 15 of the Corporate Governance Code, on 21 December 2021 the Board of Directors expressed its guidance, confirming the guidance previously adopted by the pro tempore governing body in compliance with the previous Corporate Governance Code. This policy (available in the "Governance" section of the website www.enav.it) determines the maximum number of positions as Director or Statutory Auditor that is deemed compatible with an effective and diligent performance of the office of Director of the Company.
The aforementioned policy considers as significant for this purpose only positions held on the management and oversight bodies of the following types of companies ("significant companies"):
The policy specifies the limitations on the number of positions that can be held at the same time (measured through a system of specific "weightings" for each type of office), which differ depending on: (i) the commitment associated with the position held by each party on the Board of Directors of ENAV or and on the management and oversight bodies of significant companies; and (ii) the nature of the companies with which the other positions are held, excluding from this calculation offices held in direct or indirect subsidiaries or associates of ENAV.
It is also stated that the Chief Executive Officer of ENAV shall not hold the post of director of another issuer not belonging to the same group, whose chief executive officer is a Director of ENAV.
The Board of Directors of ENAV may grant reasoned exemptions to the above limits, taking due account of the characteristics and complexity of the position.
The Board of Directors Regulation provides that the policy regarding the maximum number of positions that ENAV Directors can hold is updated at least every three years.
On the date of the Report, on the basis of the communications made by the Directors of the Company, as verified by the Board of Directors upon its appointment and most recently at the meeting on 24 March 2022, the number of positions currently held by the Directors of ENAV on the governing and control bodies of Significant Companies is compatible with the limits set by the policy.
In addition to the general legislative obligation of directors to conduct themselves diligently according to the requirements of the nature of their office and to their specific skills, the Corporate Governance Code also recommends that they must be aware of the duties and responsibilities inherent in their office. The competence of directors is not limited to their professional profile, but rather requires attention and constant updating in response to developments in the broad framework of the activity of the enterprise, not only with regard to the business in the narrow sense, but also with regard to developments in the related legislative, regulatory and corporate governance framework, with the primary objective of constantly enhancing the expertise and professionalism of each director.
In order to reinforce the level of competence and professionalism of the members of the administration and oversight bodies, in compliance with Recommendation 12(d) of the Code and the BoD Regulations, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, with the help of the Secretary of the Board itself, ensures "that all members of the management and oversight bodies can participate, after their appointment and during their term of office, in initiatives to provide them with adequate knowledge of the business sectors in which the company operates, corporate dynamics and their trends, with a view also to the company's sustainable success, as well as the principles of proper risk management and the regulatory and self-regulatory framework of reference".
To facilitate the members' participation in these initiatives and sessions, the BoD Regulations also provide that, at the beginning of the financial year, the Chairman of the Board of Directors – with support from the Secretary – makes available the calendar of induction initiatives for the current financial year.
Since taking office, the new Board of Directors has pursued in a structured way a broad, structured induction programme, with the support of management as well as, where appropriate, with the support of leading experts in the fields in question, to favour to the greatest extent the increase of specific skills and the onboarding of its members, including specific in-depth sessions on strategic issues.
During the year and up to the date of this Report, 9 induction inductions and sessions to exchange information on scenarios and strategic issues have been held.
In particular, these initiatives related to: the presentation of compliance activities on flight assistance service safety, security, including cyber-related aspects, HSE and Risk Management (25 January 2021); the remuneration changes as a result of the amendments to the Issuers Regulation introduced by Consob in December 2020 (11 March 2021); evolutionary profiles and sustainability governance (22 March 2021); the regulation of directors' interests in related-party transactions (30 June 2021); anti-corruption legislation, ISO 37001 and offences against government bodies (27 September 2021); corporate governance issues, stakeholder engagement and investor relations (10 November 2021); the policy for managing dialogue with all ENAV shareholders and stakeholders (20 December 2021) and 3 information sessions on the context and strategic guidelines for the approval of the 2022-2024 business plan
With a view to ever-greater integration of sustainability issues in the business, which increasingly involves the corporate population, ENAV periodically organises its Sustainability Day. On this day, the Group's work in the field of sustainability and the initiatives it is adopting are illustrated with the contribution of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.
The Board of Directors plays a leading role in pursuing the sustainable success of ENAV and its Group; it is tasked with setting strategies and monitoring their implementation, as well as establishing the most functional corporate governance system to carry out the company business and to pursue its strategies, taking into account the system's space for autonomy and, based on the policy on dialogue with all Company shareholders, it directs, supervises and monitors the dialogue and checks its implementation in line with suitable flows of information.
With regard to Principles I and II and Recommendation 1 of the Code, particularly in terms of the Company's sustainable success, the Board of Directors approves the Sustainability Plan, establishing the relevant projects in the light of the Group's business strategy, which is also subject to the decisions and supervision of the Board of Directors.
Lastly, by way of the resolution passed on 1 July 2021, the Board of Directors approved the 2021- 2023 Sustainability Plan after consulting with the Sustainability Committee. In its role of providing support to the Board, the Sustainability Committee gives advice and makes proposals on sustainability issues, and monitors ESG reporting and related strategies.
The Board of Directors establishes the remuneration policy for management, which includes specific non-financial objectives in both the short-term and long-term variable incentive schemes.

With regard to Principle IV and Recommendation 3, the Board of Directors – by way of resolution passed on 21 December 2021 – adopted the Guidelines for dialogue with all shareholders and stakeholders, which outline the engagement practices already in place and further develop them in an well-balanced manner and in accordance with best practices in order to promote the most suitable dialogue with all shareholders and other stakeholders of relevance to the Company, in compliance with current regulations and with the principle of equal treatment of shareholders who are in identical situations. This policy is published in full with a view to maintaining the highest degree of transparency in the governance practices adopted by the Board.
Under the provisions of the Articles of Association, the management of the Company is conducted by the directors, who take whatever necessary actions to achieve the corporate purpose.

To that end, as required by the Board of Directors Regulation, the Board of Directors establishes the frequency (at least on a quarterly basis) at which the CEO provides a report on the exercise of delegations, also identifying, with the support of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee at least every three years, the applicable materiality thresholds and necessary claims, most recently carried out by way of the resolution of 21 December 2021.
The Board also resolved to grant the Chief Executive Officer a detailed set of powers, setting out the categories of acts and the value thresholds for those acts, and to grant such powers to the Chair, as specified in section 3.13 below.
On 21 December 2021, the Board of Directors updated the "Procedural guidelines for the management of Significant Transactions" previously approved by way of the resolution passed on 9 August 2017 under the previous Corporate Governance Code. Said guidelines are in line with Recommendation 1(e) of the Code and establish the scope of transactions of significant strategic importance ("Significant Transactions") and set out procedural guidelines for the examination and approval of such transactions.

During FY 2021 and early 2022, all of the deadlines were met for sending out pre-board meeting information as per the Articles of Association and BoD Regulations. The completeness and timeliness of pre-board meeting disclosures is consistently recognised in the annual board evaluation exercises as a strength of corporate governance.
Meetings of the Board of Directors may also take place over audio or an audio-visual link. In such a case, the Chair (or, in the event of his/her absence or impediment, his/her replacement) must verify that quorum is met for the meeting, by personally and in a certain way identifying all attendees connected over audio or audio-visual link, and by ensuring that the audio-visual or broadcasting tools allow the presence thereof to be checked throughout the meeting and that they allow the speakers to follow the discussion, examine, receive and transmit documents and to intervene in the discussion of the topics, all in real time.

* Report on Corporate Governance in Italy: the implementation of the Italian Corporate Governance Code (2021)
Meetings of the Board of Directors were also attended by the managers of the relevant Company departments depending on the issues on the agenda, supporting the Chief Executive Officer in providing further information on the items being discussed.
For the Financial Year and early 2022, the Board of Directors:
approved the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure;
approved the ENAV Sustainability Report and Consolidated non-financial statement pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 254/2016;
For 2022, the Control, the Board of Directors has planned 11 meetings, 4 of which have been held as at the date of the Report.
The Board of Directors Regulation provides that the Board of Directors, with the investigative support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, where deemed also to be using an independent advisor, ensures to carry out at the frequency deemed appropriate, and in any case at least once every three years, a self-assessment on the functioning of the Board and its Committees as well as on their size and composition, also taking into account elements such as
professional, experience, including managerial, and gender characteristics of its members, as well as their seniority in office.
According to best practice, the Board of Directors regularly carries out the board evaluation process with the support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, which was tasked with assisting the Board in reviewing the method used by the most recently appointed independent advisor: Crisci & Partners.
In line with the recommendations of the Code, the Board of Directors carried out the selfassessment of the Board itself and of its Committees for the Financial Year with the support of the advisor. The work specifically involved the administration of questionnaires and the conduct of direct interviews with the Directors on the effectiveness, size, composition and functioning of the Board, including through peer-to-peer reviews. The results of the initiative were illustrated at a meeting held on 24 March 2022, during which the Board of Directors conducted its own selfassessment, identifying the strengths of the Board and certain areas for improvement, which will represent the starting point for work on the next self-assessment.
On the whole, the self-assessment showed a broad appreciation for the functioning of ENAV's Board of Directors and for the organisation of the Board's work and its agendas, the validity and effectiveness of the flows of information between the structures, the Committees and Board of Directors, the quality of the Board documentation (which is always timely and exhaustive and accompanied by precise executive summaries). It also showed satisfaction with the scheduling of meetings, with the matters addressed, their frequency and duration, as well as the support provided by the Company Secretary in minuting the meetings. Compared to the first year in office, there was a positive trend in the dynamics of the Board as a result of a more complete onboarding process and assumption of the role. Moreover, the many induction activities and outof-board information sessions on business and governance issues organised by the Chairman and the CEO, with the participation of management and consultants, were also welcomed and deemed useful.
The Chairman's performance in her role and in managing the Board of Directors was rated as excellent, in terms of her authority, incisiveness in managing the work and the debate, her focus on engaging the Board members and creating a team, her care devoted to the induction sessions, as well as her constructive relations with the CEO. The evaluation of the CEO's work was also very good, both in terms of the precise explanations of company performance and the evolution of its business, and in terms of inclusiveness and engagement with directors, with a focus on governance issues and their respective roles.
The examination of the size and composition of the Board of Directors and its Committees confirms the adequacy of the number of Directors and the mix of their competences, tenure and engagement. As for the strengths of the Board of Directors, note was also made of the greater cohesion of the board in terms of diversity and sense of belonging, the quality of the preliminary work carried out by the Committees for the benefit of the Board, the effective support of the structure and the Directors' willingness to exchange in proactive and collaborative discussions. There were also positive assessments as to the number of committees, the appropriate presence of an ad hoc Sustainability Committee given the importance of ESG issues, the fact that the Committees stayed constantly up to date with regulatory developments and best practices, and lastly the sound integration of work between the Committees and the Board of Directors.
A largely positive assessment was expressed on the supervision by the Board of Directors, with the support of the Committees, of its responsibilities as a guide in pursuing the sustainable success of the Company, with regard to issues relating to strategic decisions, the risk control and management system, the organisational and accounting structure and compensation, as well as sustainability matters primarily relating to key ESG issues.
Together with the above-mentioned strengths, the self-assessment also made it possible to identify certain areas for improvement or consolidation of best practices, relating to the continuation of induction or information sharing sessions, with particular regard to strategic and evolutionary scenario issues, monitoring the related risks, the unregulated market and the inclusion of sustainability in the company's objectives, including, where appropriate, the organisation of off-site and off-site strategy sessions that further encourage onboarding; the possibility of a greater number of meetings of the Independent Directors, which may also be
coordinated by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, in order to make a greater contribution to the board; greater homogeneity in the engagement of individual Directors; and greater stability in the scheduling of Committee meetings to aid the structures' work and the organisation of agendas for the meeting participants.
With regard to efforts to enhance the skills and capabilities of the Directors and their respective objectives, section 3.8 above outlines the Board of Directors' work in relation to Induction initiatives.
At both the Board meeting on 25 January 2022 and that on 24 March 2020, during the board evaluation process the Board of Directors examined the recommendations for 2022 contained in the letter sent on 3 December 2021 by the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee, together with the 9th Annual Report on the application of the Corporate Governance Code, going into further depth on the areas of criticality and improvement generally represented in the note on the subject and the relative state of implementation with specific regard to ENAV's governance. This letter was also examined by the Board of Statutory Auditors and board Committees. The Board of Directors verified that ENAV's governance in broad alignment with best practices, with sustainability acting as a key driver of the business, which is integrated into the company's activities, strategies and variable incentive schemes. For more information on the Board's assessment of the recommendations contained in this letter, please refer to section 12 of the Report.
The Chair of the ENAV Board of Directors is Francesca Isgrò, who was appointed to that position by the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 May 2020.
The Chair calls meetings of the Board of Directors, sets the agenda, coordinates their work and provides the directors and members of the board of auditors with all information regarding the matters to be discussed.
In addition to the powers provided for by law and the Articles of Association concerning the operation of the corporate bodies and legal representation of the Company, the Board of Directors resolved to grant the Chair the following powers:
The Chair of the Board of Directors – in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer – also handles the communications activities of the Company and its relations with the media, both domestic and foreign.
Given that he has not been delegated powers for the management or development of corporate strategies, the Chairman of the Board of Directors is classed as a non-executive Director pursuant to the Code.
The Chair plays a role of providing impetus and supervision over the functioning of the Board of Directors and to that end, according to the provisions of the Board of Directors Regulation and in line with Principle X and Recommendation 12 of the Code, with the support of the Secretary of the Board of Directors (the "Secretary") he/she ensures: (i) that the pre-Board information and complementary information provided during the meetings are suitable to allow directors to act in an informed manner in the performance of their role, making available to them the material and useful information in their possession or received by the CEO and their structures; (ii) that the activities of the Committees be co-ordinated with that of the Board of Directors; (iii) that all Directors and Statutory Auditors may participate, after appointment and during their mandate, in induction initiatives aimed at providing them with an adequate knowledge of the sectors of activity in which ENAV operates, the business dynamics and their evolution also with a view to the sustainable success of the Company as well as the principles of correct risk management and the regulatory and self-regulatory framework of reference; (iv) the adequacy and transparency of the self-assessment process of the Board of Directors, with the support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee.
The Chair of the Board of Directors, in conjunction with the CEO, then ensures that the Board of Directors is informed, by the earliest possible meeting, about the development and significant contents of the dialogue with all the shareholders, in accordance with the Engagement Policy and Recommendation 3 of the Code.
During the assessment of the independence requirements by the members of the Board of Directors last carried out on 24 March 2022, taking into account the provisions of law and Articles of Association, as well as Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code and the policy for assessing the independence of ENAV Directors, the Governing Body confirmed that the Chair of ENAV's Board of Directors fulfils the requirements of independence in accordance with both Article 148 of the Consolidated Law and the Corporate Governance Code.
In line with Recommendation 18, the Secretary of the Board of Directors assists and supports the Board of Directors in coordinating the work of the Board and its Committees, and assists with the induction and self-assessment initiatives. The Board of Directors Regulation sets out the professionalism requirements of the Secretary, who also provides impartial assistance and independent legal advice to the Directors on their rights, powers, duties and obligations to ensure the proper exercise of their duties. The Secretary is appointed by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Chairman at the start of each financial year.
The CEO of ENAV is Paolo Simioni, who was appointed to this role by the Board of Directors at the time of his installation on 21 May 2020.
In accordance with Article 2381(5) of the Italian Civil Code and with Article 18(5) of the Articles of Association, the Chief Executive Officer ensures that the organisational and accounting structure is appropriate to the nature and size of the Company.
The Chief Executive Officer is granted all powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company, including legal representation and sole power of signature before any judicial and administrative authorities as well as the functions and powers that are not otherwise reserved by law, the Articles of Association or other authority to the Board of Directors or granted to the Chair, as discussed, respectively, in sections 3.7 and 3.10 above.
The Chief Executive Officer has also been designated the director in charge of the internal control and risk management system.
In order to keep the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors constantly updated, the Chief Executive Officer also informs them promptly, and in any case at least quarterly, about the activities carried out, the general course of operations of the Company and their foreseeable developments, and about the main financial operations carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries. The information is provided both on the occasion of the meetings of the Board of Directors, which always have a specific item on the agenda, and in a report written in conjunction with the Board meetings called to approve the financial reports.
In line with Recommendation 1(b) of the Code, and in compliance with the provisions of the Articles of Association, the law and the BoD Regulations, the CEO informs the Board of Directors (at least on a quarterly basis and in conjunction with the Board meetings called to approve the financial reports) about the activities carried out in execution of the powers conferred. To that end, as required by the Board of Directors Regulation, the Board of Directors establishes the frequency (at least on a quarterly basis) at which the CEO provides a report on the exercise of delegations, also identifying, with the support of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee at least every three years, the applicable materiality thresholds and necessary claims, most recently carried out by way of the resolution of 21 December 2021.
With the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board is composed entirely of nonexecutive directors, as none of them, including the Chair, have been assigned individual management responsibilities or specific roles in the development of corporate strategies. The number of non-executive directors, their expertise and the time they can devote to the position are such as to ensure that their judgement has a significant influence on Board decisions. Nonexecutive directors bring their specific professional expertise and experience to Board discussions, enriching them with diverse views and perspectives and encouraging the adoption of thoroughly assessed and considered decisions in line with the Company's interests.
As of the date of this Report, 7 ENAV Directors out of 9 are considered independent under the provisions of the Consolidated Law and the Code.
In particular, the Board of Directors, most recently on 24 March 2022, assessed whether its members fulfilled the independence requirements provided for by law and by the Articles of Association, as well as those provided for in the Corporate Governance Code, also taking into account the Policy regarding the criteria and procedure for assessing the independence of ENAV's Directors, confirming that the Directors Francesca Isgrò, Angela Stefania Bergantino, Giuseppe Lorubio, Fabiola Mascardi, Fabio Pammolli, Carlo Paris and Antonio Santi fulfilled the independence requirements under Article 148(3) of the TUF and Recommendation 7 of the Code.
None of the cases for non-fulfilment of the independence requirements by the Directors under the self-governance code has been disapplied by the Board of Directors, which has always adopted a substantive and meaningful evaluation approach.
The Board of Statutory Auditors – as part of its oversight duties, with specific regard to Article 149(c-bis) of the TUF and self-governance indications, and in compliance with Article 2.3 of the Board of Statutory Auditors Regulation – verified the correct application of the assessment criteria and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to assess the independence of its members.
The Independent Directors met on 20 December 2021, in the absence of the other directors, as recommended by the Corporate Governance Code, and exchanged views on how the Board of Directors and its committees should operate in light of the experience gained in their second year in office. The meeting acknowledged the improved relations between Board members which, thanks to the contribution of individuals under extraordinary circumstances, made it possible to gradually overcome the initial difficulties tied to the ongoing pandemic that, since the beginning of their term, had hindered the usual onboarding activities. The meeting proved to be another useful opportunity for discussion, which the Directors hope will take place more frequently. The management of corporate governance and its mechanisms were welcomed in particular, thanks to the completeness of the flows of information to the Board and the Committees, underlining the importance of opportunities to come together and exchange information, facilitated by the Chairman during Board meetings. The discussion highlighted the importance of induction opportunities and information sessions outside the Board meetings on business and governance issues with a view to fully sharing the key decisions affecting the Company. In particular, the Independent Directors would like to see the continuation of the information sessions organised by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, with the participation of management and consultants, for sharing strategic issues and evolutionary scenarios, in-depth analysis of general and sector regulation issues, as well as issues relating to the unregulated market, by consulting with external experts and involving Directors on specific areas.
ENAV has not appointed any Director as lead independent director, taking into account the fact that, as at the date of the Report, the conditions set out in Recommendation 13 of the Corporate Governance Code have not occurred.
The Board of Directors Regulation states that, where appointed in the cases provided for by the Code, the lead independent director favours the fluidity of the Board dialogue, represents a point of reference and co-ordination of the requests and contributions of non-executive Directors and specifically of independent directors and co-ordinates the meetings of the Independent Directors only.
As required by the Board of Directors Regulation, the Board of Directors is supported in the exercise of its powers by one or more Committees with investigative, advisory and proactive functions, whose tasks and composition it defines, taking into account the provisions of the Articles of Association, the recommendations of the Code and best governance practice; in any case, the Council establishes, including in a merged form, the Committees responsible for appointments, remuneration, control and risks, related parties as well as sustainability.
The Board of Directors gives the Committees the financial resources at their disposal and determines how they can avail themselves of external consultants.
The Committees meet whenever their respective Chairs deem it appropriate or a request is made to do so by the Chair of the Board of Directors, the CEO, the Lead Independent Director where appointed, or the Board of Statutory Auditors. The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors may attend the meetings of the Committees, and the Chair of each Committee may invite to individual meetings the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the other Directors and, informing the Chief Executive Officer, the representatives of the company functions competent in the relevant field.
The Chair of each Committee shall coordinate its work and inform the Board of Directors of the activities carried out at the first useful meeting.
The composition, duties and operations of the Committees are governed by specific regulations approved by the Board of Directors, acting on a proposal from the Chair of the Board of Directors, having heard from the Chairs of each Committee. Specifically, by its Resolution of 23 March 2021, the Board of Directors, also in order to take into account the new elements introduced by the Corporate Governance Code, updated the regulations of the intra-Board Committees.
The Board of Directors is supported by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, composed of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent, with consultative and advisory functions on remuneration and appointment matters.
As at the Report date, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee consisted of Giuseppe Lorubio (independent non-executive Director) as Chair, Laura Cavallo (non-executive Director) and Antonio Santi (independent non-executive Director).
The composition of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee ensures that the necessary number of members meet the professionalism and independence requirements set out in the Code.
The composition, duties and operation of the Committee, with a separate indication of the committee's functions with regard to remuneration and those concerning appointments, are governed in detail in the Committee regulations ("RAC Regulation") approved by way of resolution of the Board of Directors, most recently updated on 23 March 2021.
As regards appointments, in accordance with Article 2 of the Regulation and in line with the provisions of Recommendation 19 of the Code, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee is responsible for the following tasks which aim to offer advice and suggestions to the Board of Directors:
(c) identification of candidates for Director in the event of co-optation;
(d) any submission of a slate by the outgoing Board of Directors to be implemented in a manner that ensures a transparent composition and presentation;
The Board of Directors is further entrusted with the task of supporting the Board of Directors in assessments of the policy regarding the maximum number of appointments to the governing or control bodies taken by listed or major companies that may be deemed compatible with effective performance of the role of Director of ENAV.
With regard to remuneration, in accordance with Article 3 of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee Regulation, in compliance with Recommendation 25 of the Code, said Committee is entrusted with the following tasks which aim to offer advice and suggestions to the Board of Directors:
Moreover, within the budget established by the Board of Directors and where the specific nature of an issue requires it, the Committee may avail itself of external consultants and experts of recognised expertise in the subject matters addressed by the Committee, provided that they do not simultaneously provide the Human Resources and Corporate Services department or senior management with strategic responsibilities at a level of services that would compromise the independent judgement of the consultants. The Committee can access the information necessary for the performance of its duties and draw on the support of Company departments in the matters within its areas of responsibility.
No Director takes part in the meetings of the Committee in which proposals are made to the Board of Directors that relate to their individual remuneration, unless the proposals refer to all members of the committees established within the Board of Directors.
In accordance with the RAC Regulation, the Chairman of the Committee reports at the first subsequent Board Meeting on the meetings held by the Committee.
In 2021, the Committee met 11 times, with each meeting lasting approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes on average, with an average attendance rate of 100%. For additional information regarding the attendance of members at the meetings of the Committee, please see table 2 to attached to the Report. The Committee meetings were normally attended by the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors or another delegated auditor. During its activities, the Committee invited certain managers to its meetings, notably the Human Resources and Corporate Services Officer, the General Counsel, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, to find out more about certain topics, as well as the independent advisor selected by the Committee for support in compensation matters.
In particular, in the financial year and in early 2022, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, among other things:
(ii) with regard to its functions concerning appointments, the Committee:
analysed and proposed to the Board of Directors an update to the company policy on the maximum number of positions that Directors of ENAV S.p.A. may hold;
In addition, at its meeting of 19 January 2022, the committee examined the Letter from the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee of 3 December 2021.
In performing its functions, the Committee was able to interact with the competent departments of the Company and access the information necessary to carry out its duties appropriately. It also availed itself of external consultants, considered independent and not possessing any conflict of interest.
For 2022, as at the date of this Report, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee has planned 9 meetings, of which 6 were held in the period from 1 January 2022 to the date of this Report.
Minutes were duly taken for meetings of the Committee.
In application of the recommendations of the Code, the Board of Directors receives support on issues concerning the internal control and risk management system from the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee ("CRRPC"), consisting of non-executive directors (the majority of whom are independent) tasked with providing advice on such matters. With regard to the provisions contained in Article 11-bis.5 of the Articles of Association, the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee is also competent for related party transactions.
As at the Report date, the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee consisted of Antonio Santi (independent non-executive Director) and Directors Laura Cavallo (non-executive Director) and Fabio Pammolli (independent non-executive Director).

In accordance with the Committee Rules, the Chair of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee shall report at the first appropriate Board meeting on the meetings held by the Committee.
In 2021, the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee met 16 times for an average of about 2 hour and 11 minutes, with 93.65% average attendance of its members. The Board of Statutory Auditors also takes part in the meetings of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, normally as a whole or in the person of the Chairman or another Statutory Auditor. The director in charge of the internal control and risk management system is always invited to the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee meetings in connection with the activities pertaining to risk control. The Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee meetings were also attended by managers from various corporate departments for the discussion of specific issues, including those concerning related parties, periodic financial reporting, the statements of the Financial Reporting Officer in accordance with Article 154-bis(5) of the Consolidated Law, identification and monitoring of ERM risks, significant corporate transactions or transactions of a significant nature.

The Guidelines of the internal control and risk management system of ENAV and Group entities define the principles, implementing criteria, roles and responsibilities connected with the ICRMS.
The ICRMS of the ENAV Group is composed of a set of tools and organisational units, laws and corporate rules designed to enable the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks and the implementation of controls to ensure achievement of the corporate objectives of:
The ICRMS, which reflects the recommendations of the self-governance recommendations and takes account of national and international best practice, is divided into three separate levels of internal control:
| "Level 1" checks or "line checks" (risk ownership) |
carried out by risk owners, composed of the set of controls that the individual organisational structures of ENAV and other Group companies perform on their own processes to ensure that the operations are performed correctly. These control activities are entrusted to the primary responsibility of management and are considered an integral part of every business process. The managers of the individual organisational structures are therefore the primary managers of the internal control and risk management process. During daily operations, these managers are called upon to identify, measure, evaluate, manage, monitor and report the risks arising from ordinary business activity in accordance with the applicable binding rules, regulations and internal procedures; |
|---|---|
| "Level 2" checks |
entrusted to structures – including, in particular, the Financial Reporting Officer and the Integrated Compliance and Risk Management organisational structure, the General Counsel organisational structure, the Planning and Control organisational structures and the Conformity Function for the Prevention of Corruption – which have hierarchical and functional autonomy and independence from "Level 1" organisational structures, with specific tasks and control responsibilities for various areas/types of risk. The managers of these structures (both within ENAV and at Group level) monitor the business risks within their own specific remits, propose guidelines on the related control systems, verify their adequacy in order to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in the control and risk management operations and support the integration of the risks related to their specific remits; |
| "Level 3" checks |
carried out by the Internal Audit organisational structure, which provides independent and objective assurance on the adequacy and effective operation of level 1 and 2 checks and, more generally, on the ICRMS. The Internal Audit therefore has the task of verifying the structure and functionality of the ICRMS as a whole, as well as its alignment with ICRMS guidelines, including by monitoring line checks as well as level 2 control activities both within ENAV and the Group. |
The main parties involved in the Internal control and risk management system are:
the Chief Executive Officer
the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee
The following chart provides an overview of the actors in the ICRMS of the ENAV Group, showing the architecture based on the three levels of control.
To ensure maximum coordination between the different components of the control system, the governance arrangements of ENAV establish that:
ENAV's Chief Executive Officer supervises the ICRMS and implements the respective Guidelines, overseeing the design, implementation and management of the System, verifying its adequacy and effectiveness on an ongoing basis and tracking its flows of information.
In accordance with the IRCMS Guidelines in force, the Director Responsible shall:
In FY 2021 and early 2022, the CEO did the following activities (among others):
The Internal Audit organisational structure reports hierarchically to the Board of Directors and functionally to the Chair of the Board of Directors, and bears no operational responsibility. It is responsible for verifying that the internal control and risk management system is functional and adequate and, to that end, takes into account the following tasks assigned to it under the Corporate Governance Code:
Internal Audit, as indicated in the mandate approved with a resolution of the Board of Directors, has direct access to all information required for the performance of these duties and prepares periodic reports containing adequate information on its activities, the procedures through which risks are managed and compliance with the content of the prepared plans. The periodic reports contain an evaluation of the suitability of the ICRMS on the basis of the findings of the checks performed in executing the audit plan and any further investigation requested by management and/or oversight bodies. In order to discharge his duties, the Internal Audit Officer has access to the financial resources, from the departmental budget approved by the Board of Directors, as required to perform the department's activities independently or with the support of external entities/individuals.
Internal Audit prepares timely reports on events of particular significance and transmits them to the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Chair of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Chair of the Board of Directors, to the Director responsible for the IRCMS )and to the Financial Reporting Officer within the scope of his responsibilities). Moreover, the
audit plan will verify the reliability of the Company's information systems, including its accounting systems.
As at the date of this Report, incentive mechanisms were in place for the Internal Audit Officer, consistent with the tasks assigned. In particular, the remuneration and incentive policies of the Internal Audit Manager – divided into fixed and variable components – are based on a market benchmark based on a weighing method of the organisational roles. The systems are also closely related to an annual performance evaluation process, related to a short-term management incentive system.
With regard to Group compliance pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/01, the Internal Audit department monitors: the effectiveness of the prevention and control system put in place; the preventive and corrective actions suggested; the adequacy of the system for preventing offences. The checks relating to compliance with Legislative Decree 231/01 are included in the Structure's Annual Plan and carried out throughout the Group; these checks are supplemented by further requests which the Supervisory Bodies or other Administration and Control Bodies may deem necessary during the year. In addition, the Structure participates with its own resources as internal members of the Supervisory Bodies of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, and as a technical secretary. The Internal Audit department collaborates with the Bodies to continuously update the Organisation and Control Models and Code of Ethics of the Group.
With regard to anti-corruption responsibilities, Internal Audit implements the pre-established activities to adopt an effective model within the framework of the program implemented by the Group.
The Internal Audit department also ensures proper oversight for the prevention of corruption and the fight against fraud, as well as carrying out the audits referred to in its Activity Plan, monitoring any reports received (whistleblowing) and checking the circumstances reported. To address these issues, in 2021 the structure drew up the new Group Whistleblowing Regulation.
With regard to the corporate fraud prevention system, the Internal Audit department has taken steps to:
In particular, in 2021 and early 2022, the Internal Audit department did the following inter alia:
in synergy with the Group Data Protection Officer, ensured controls on the personal data protection management system for compliance with the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR);
dealt with training and information activities, in synergy with the competent internal structures, with specific regard to cyber-security issues;
The ENAV Group's control system for financial reporting, which is an integral part of the broader ICRMS, seeks to ensure the reliability, accuracy, fidelity and timeliness of financial reporting.
The structure of the financial reporting control system (FRCS) is defined consistently with the "Internal Controls – Integrated Framework" model of the "Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission", which is an international benchmark in relation to which each component of the ENAV internal control system is established, maintained and evaluated.
The responsibility for implementing and maintaining an appropriate FRCS is assigned to the Financial Reporting Officer, for the drafting of the ENAV corporate accounting documents, governed by Article 154-bis of the TUF and provided for in Article 18-bis of the Articles of Association as of 2007.
The principles and methods adopted by the Financial Reporting Officer in the financial year for his/her remit, as well as the duties of the staff involved in various roles in the maintenance and monitoring of the FRCS are set out in the "Guidelines for the assessment of the FRCS".
The FRCS is established, maintained and evaluated through a structured process that includes the following phases:
The processes supporting the financial disclosure included in the scope are the subject of mapping and constant updating. The structure of controls at process level provides for specific and monitoring controls, understood as all activities, manual or automated, aimed at preventing, detecting and correcting errors or irregularities that occur in the performance of operational activities; among the structural elements that support proper operations and the related control, segregation of duties (SOD) plays an important role, which aims to ensure the segregation of incompatible business roles and solve critical issues and conflicts within IT profiles, resolving processes and IT systems relevant to financial reporting.
The audit firm EY S.p.A was appointed to carry out the statutory audit of the separate financial statements of ENAV, the consolidated financial statements of the ENAV Group and the consolidated semi-annual financial report on the ENAV Group, for the years from 2016 to 2024.
As at the Report date, ENAV's Financial Reporting Officer is Chief Financial Officer Luca Colman, appointed by Resolution of the Board of Directors on 24 June 2020, after obtaining the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, with the duration of the assignment for the three-year period 2020-2022, and therefore until the approval of the financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 2022.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 18-bis of the Articles of Association, the Financial Reporting Officer was selected on the basis of criteria for professionalism and expertise from among executives with at least three years' experience in administrative duties in companies, or at consulting or professional firms.
As part of his responsibilities to ensure the correct drafting of documents and accounting information, the Financial Reporting Officer is tasked with establishing the structure of the controls and monitoring their operations, including with regard to the significant processes of subsidiaries falling within the scope of consolidation.
The Financial Reporting Officer, together with the Chief Executive Officer, certifies with a report on the separate financial statements, the consolidated financial statements and condensed semiannual financial statements:
a) the appropriateness and effective application of the administrative and accounting procedures during the period to which the documents refer;
b) that the documents have been drawn up in compliance with applicable international accounting standards recognised in the European Union in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 July 2002;
c) that the documents are consistent with the books and other accounting records;
d) that the documents provide a true and fair view of the performance and financial position of the Company and the companies included in the scope of consolidation;
e) for the separate and consolidated financial statements, that the report on operations contains a reliable analysis of operations and performance, as well as the situation of the Company and the companies included in the scope of consolidation, together with a description of the main risks and uncertainties to which it is exposed;
f) for the condensed semi-annual financial statements, that the interim report on operations includes a reliable analysis of the information referred to in Article 154-ter(4) of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
In order to facilitate the flow of information, the Financial Reporting Officer participates in the meetings of the Board of Directors when the agenda contains issues that affect the performance and financial position of the Company or the Group and can access all the documents and resolutions of the corporate bodies that affect the Company's performance and financial position.
In accordance with Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, on 20 April 2021 the Board of Directors verified the adequacy of the powers and resources available to the Financial Reporting Officer to perform the duties assigned and compliance with the related administrative and accounting procedures.
The duties and responsibilities of the Financial Reporting Officer and the powers and resources granted to that officer are governed in detail by specific rules, regularly updated by the Financial Reporting Officer in concert with the director in charge of the internal control and risk management system. The rules were last approved by the Board of Directors of ENAV on 12 March 2018.
As at the date of this Report, incentive mechanisms were in place for the Chief Financial Officer, who also acts as the Financial Reporting Officer, in line with the tasks assigned. Specifically, the incentive and remuneration policies thereof, which acts as the Manager with Strategic Responsibility, are divided into fixed and variable components, the latter both medium and longterm, taking into account market benchmarks based on a weighing method of organisational roles, periodically certified by an external company, and in accordance with the remuneration policy adopted and managed in accordance with the legal and self-governance indications as set out in section 6 below.
The Company is subject to the auditing of its financial statements and assets by the Court of Auditors, which reports annually to the Italian Parliament in accordance with Article 12 of Law No. 259 of 21 March 1958, on the legitimacy and regularity of operations and the functioning of internal controls.
The magistrate designated to audit the Company is invited to attend all of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors.
In the financial year, the function of magistrate delegated by the Court of Auditors was performed by Mauro Orefice, succeeded by Chairman Tammaro Maiello from 2022.
On 21 December 2021, the "Report on the findings of the audit of the financial management of ENAV for the financial year 2020" was issued. Said Report is published on the Company's website in the "Governance" section.
The Board of Directors reviews the Remuneration Report in accordance with Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the first section of which is dedicated to the Remuneration Policy for Directors and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities adopted by the Company while the second reports the remuneration actually paid. As of the date of this Report, ENAV managers with strategic responsibilities are the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Technology Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Human Resources and Corporate Services Officer.
Legislative Decree No. 49 of 10 June 2019 transposed the SHRD II directive, while also amending Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance. In light of these changes, the first section of the report describing remuneration policy is subject to the binding vote of the shareholders, whereas the second section is subject to an advisory vote. Taking account of these legislative changes and of the trends in the new Corporate Governance Code, the remuneration policy drafted by the Company seeks – in essential continuity with the past – to make an even more decisive contribution to company strategy and to the pursuit of sustainability and the long-term interests of the Company.
For an outline of the Remuneration Policy adopted by ENAV and for information on the remuneration paid to Directors, Statutory Auditors and management, in addition to the information contained herein, please refer to the Report on Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid, drawn up by the Company pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law and approved – after examination by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee – by the Board of Directors on 21 April 2022, which will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year. Said report is published in the "Governance" section – "2022 Shareholders' Meeting" – at www.enav.it.
In accordance with Article 21 of the Articles of Association, the Shareholders' Meeting appoints the Board of Statutory Auditors, which is comprised of three standing auditors from among whom its Chair is elected, and two alternate auditors. The composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors must comply with the applicable laws and regulations regarding gender balance, where applicable.
If during the term one or more standing auditors are no longer available, the alternate auditors will replace them in the order that will ensure compliance with the laws and regulations regarding gender balance.
Statutory auditors will serve a three-year term, which shall expire on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements of the third financial year of their term of office. Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are selected from among those that meet the professionalism and integrity requirements under the applicable laws and regulations. The following matters are deemed closely related to the Company's scope of activities: matters relating to commercial and tax law, business administration and corporate finance, matters and sectors of activity involving communications, telematics and IT, banking, financial and insurance operations.
As regards the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the applicable laws and regulations govern causes of ineligibility and limitations on the number of administrative or control offices that can be held at one time by the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
Standing and alternate auditors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates submitted by shareholders, in which the candidates must be listed in consecutive order and the number of candidates proposed must not exceed the number of members to be elected. For the year 2022, only shareholders who alone or together with other shareholders represent at least 2.5% of the share capital, or any other amount established by Consob through its regulation for submitting slates of candidates for the appointment of the management and oversight bodies – amounting to 1% of ENAV's share capital (see the above-mentioned Decision No. 60 of 28 January 2022) – shall be entitled to submit slates. The curriculum vitae of each candidate must be submitted together with each slate, upon penalty of inadmissibility, as must the statements with which the individual candidates accept their candidacy and certify, under their responsibility, that there are no causes for ineligibility or incompatibility, and that they meet the integrity, professionalism and independence requirements prescribed by the applicable laws.
Appointed standing auditors must notify the Company without delay if they no longer meet any of these requirements, as well as any supervening causes of ineligibility or incompatibility.
Each person entitled to vote may vote for only one slate.
The presentation, filing and publication of the slates is governed by the provisions of applicable law.
The slates shall contain two sections: one for candidates for the office of standing auditor and the other for candidates for the office of alternate auditor. At least the first candidates for each section must be registered with the Register of Auditors and have worked as an auditor for no less than three years.
Two standing auditors and one alternate auditor will be drawn from the slate that obtained the largest number of votes, based on the consecutive order in which they are includes in the sections of the slate. The remaining standing auditor and remaining alternate auditor are appointed in accordance with the applicable regulations and with the terms set forth under Article 11-bis.3(b) of the Articles of Association, applicable separately to each of the sections in which the other slates are divided.
For the appointment of members of the board of auditors who for any reason are not elected based on slates, the Shareholders' Meeting shall resolve with the majorities required by law and without observing the procedure indicated above, but in any case in such a manner as to ensure that the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors is compliant with applicable legislation, regulations and administrative provisions, while respecting the principle of minority representation and the applicable laws on gender balances10 .
The standing auditor appointed pursuant to Article 11-bis.3(b) of the Articles of Association shall assume the chairmanship of the Board of Statutory Auditors. In the event of replacement of the Chair, this office shall be assumed by the alternate auditor who has also been appointed in accordance with Article 11-bis.3(b) of the Articles of Association.
If one of the auditors selected from the slate with the largest number of votes is replaced, he will be replaced by the first of the alternate auditors selected from that slate. If the replacement does not enable the re-establishment of a Board of Statutory Auditors that is compliant with the applicable laws on gender balance, the second of the alternate auditors selected from that same slate shall take over. If it becomes necessary to subsequently replace the other auditor selected from the slate with the largest number of votes, that auditor will be replaced by the other alternate auditor selected from that slate.
The auditors may carry out inspections and audits at any time, either individually or as a group.
The Board of Statutory Auditors monitors compliance with the law, regulations and the Articles of Association, with the principles of sound management and particularly the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting arrangements adopted by the Company and its
10 In this regard, it should be recalled that, following Law No. 160 of 27 December 2019 ("Budget Law 2020"), amendments were made to Articles 147-ter(1-ter) and 148(1-bis) of the TUF, introduced by Law No. 120 of 12 July 2011 (the "Golfo-Mosca Law"), concerning gender balance in the bodies of listed companies; this means that at least two-fifths of the body is reserved for the under-represented sex and that this allocation criterion applies for six consecutive terms. Consequently, Consob amended the Issuers' Regulation, with specific regard where concerned to Article 144-undecies(1) of the Issuers Regulation. Paragraph 3 of said provision provides that "where the application of the gender distribution criterion does not result in a whole number of members of the administrative or oversight bodies belonging to the less represented gender, that number shall be rounded up to the higher unit, with the exception of corporate bodies formed of three members where it shall be rounded down to the lower unit". Given that, in accordance with Article 21 of ENAV's Articles of Association, the ENAV Board of Statutory Auditors has three standing auditors and two alternates, the standard in question shall apply.
effective operation, as well as the adequacy and functionality of the overall risk management and control system.

The Board of Statutory Auditors of ENAV adopts and keeps up to-date its rules, which combine the rules of law and those under the Articles of Association as well as best practice to govern the functioning of such body. In its 10 articles, the Board of Statutory Auditors Regulation (in addition to repeating the provisions on the appointment and composition thereof and establishing its role and responsibilities) regulates the planning of the activities of the Supervisory Body and sets out its key flows of information. The operational rules are also set out, with particular regard to the methods and timing of convocation and the conduct of meetings. In line with the self-governance provisions, the Board of Statutory Auditors Regulation includes specifications in the event of Auditor interest in the Company's operations; in accordance with Recommendation 37 of the Corporate Governance Code, if a member of the Board of Statutory Auditors has an interest in a specific Company transaction, whether on their own behalf or on that of a third party, the auditor concerned shall promptly and thoroughly inform the other auditors and the Chair of the Board of Directors of the nature, terms, origin and extent of their interest.
The regulation takes up the confidentiality provisions, with specific regard to price-sensitive information, in compliance with the legislation and internal procedures adopted by the Company, and finally provides for a structured self-assessment process for the verification of subjective requirements, which takes into account, inter alia: (i) the qualitative sizing of the body, as regards the extent of diversity and professional experience of its members; (ii) the vocational training and induction courses carried out: (iii) practices relating to meetings of the Committee as regards their frequency, duration, degree and mode of participation; (iv) the availability of time devoted by each Auditor to the task: (v) collaboration, synergy and interaction between the members of the Body; and (vi) the quality of their contribution to the governance of the Company.
In accordance with the Articles of Association and the Regulation, Meetings of the Board of Auditors can be held using audio-visual and teleconferencing links or similar telecommunications systems, provided that all the participants can be identified and are able to follow the discussion on the agenda items in real time and also to receive and transmit documents. If these requirements are met, the Board of Auditors will be considered to have been convened in the location in which the Chair is located.
In 2021, the Board of Auditors met 13 times for an average of 4 hours and 7 minutes, with an average attendance of 100%. For additional information regarding the attendance of meetings of the Board of Auditors, please see table 3 attached to this Report.
For FY 2022, the Board of Statutory Auditors – in accordance with its Regulations and taking into account the scheduling of activities carried out by the Board of Directors and the Committees – drew up its schedule for the entire financial year as usual, scheduling 13 meetings, 6 of which have been held as at the date of approval of this Report.
The Chair of the Board of Directors ensured that, subsequent to their appointment and throughout their term of office, the members of the Board of Auditors have been able to participate in initiatives that provide them with adequate knowledge regarding the industry of the Company, corporate developments and their evolution, and the regulatory and selfregulatory context in which the Company operates. In particular, the auditors participated and will be invited to participate in the same induction initiatives organised to the benefit of Directors, as indicated in section 3.8 of this Report, which in some cases were combined with training activities organised by third parties.
The magistrate of the Court of Auditors designated to control the Company's financial management shall always be invited to the meetings of the Board.
As part of the duties assigned to it by law and in compliance with the recommendations of the Self-governance Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors is entitled to ask the Internal Audit Department of the Company to carry out checks of specific operating areas or Company operations and the right to swiftly exchange with the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee the information required for them to pursue their respective duties.
In carrying out its activities, the Board of Statutory Auditors has constantly coordinated with the Internal Audit Department, inviting the Head and Deputy to attend the meetings, and with the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee.
In FY 2021 and early 2022, the Board of Statutory Auditors did the following activities (among others):
Specifically, the Board of Statutory Auditors has discharged its institutional duties in accordance with the Italian Civil Code, with Legislative Decree No. 39/2010, with the TUF and with Legislative Decree No. 254 of 30 December 2016. Its oversight activity has been conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Self-governance Code, with the "Code of Conduct for the Board of Statutory Auditors of listed companies" issued by the Italian National Council of Chartered Accountants and the instructions issued by Consob. In particular, these activities covered, among other things, checks concerning:
The Board of Statutory Auditors verified the independence of its members, first immediately after taking office by disclosing the results to the Board of Directors and the market on 15 May 2019 and, then on an annual basis, most recently during the self-assessment process at the meeting of 15 March 2022, as disclosed to the Board of Directors at the meeting of 24 March 2022.
At the date of this Report, none of the members of the Board of Auditors had any interest, whether on their own behalf or that of third parties, in any significant transactions or in the associated conduct resulting therefrom.
The Company ensures dialogue and engagement with shareholders through the dedicated structures and information channels provided, as well as in compliance with the Engagement Policy approved by the Board of Directors' resolution passed on 21 December 2021, which is available in the "Governance" section of the Company website. This section also contains the main documents and information regarding ENAV's corporate structure, corporate governance and information on participation in and the procedures for each ENAV Shareholders' Meeting.
For the overall management of the dialogue with all shareholders and with the Company's stakeholders, ENAV's Policy organically records and codifies the pre-existing practices of engagement and ensures an adequate balance of the entities' roles (corporate bodies and structures) that are involved in various capacities in the dialogue with shareholders, starting with the work of the Investor Relator through to the typical and recurring event of the Shareholders' Meeting.
In compliance with the self-regulatory recommendations, the Policy regulates the forms, methods and competences of direct dialogue with Directors, i.e. Shareholder-Director Engagement ("SDE"). In particular, this indicates:
The matters subject to possible engagement based on the policy have a broad scope, embracing business matters and those relating to strategic-financial areas (such as the business plan, general management performance, financial results, etc.), corporate governance (such as the corporate governance system, remuneration policies, etc.), and the risk control system and issues of sustainability and long-term value creation.
The Policy specifically regulates the various methods of engagement (one-way, two-way, bilateral or collective) and rules whereby, on a case-by-case basis and according to the topics subject to engagement, the Chief Executive Officer decides whether or not to accept requests and decides the methods of engagement. The Policy also streamlines and centralises the contact channel so as to direct all requests towards the Chief Executive Officer.
With regard to how meetings are conducted (the management of which is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer), meetings are attended in accordance with the division of responsibilities whereby, without prejudice to the possibility of involving internal structures and other Directors, the Chief Executive Officer is, as a rule, entitled to discuss business matters with stakeholders (e.g. of a managerial, strategic or financial nature, or about long-term value creation, internal control and risk management) as well as sustainability matters, while the Chairman of the Board of Directors is, as a rule, entitled to discuss governance issues with stakeholders.
Lastly, the policy regulates cases where the dialogue is brought about by the Company itself and, in line with Recommendation 3 of the Code, assigns to the Chairman the responsibility to inform the Board of Directors, at the earliest possible meeting, about the development and significant content of the engagement activities carried out, together with any requests for engagement that have been refused.
In light of the rules laid down in the Policy and with the engagement practices that the Company has been carrying out since its listing, the "Investor Relations" section of ENAV's website provides information on ENAV's main performance and financial data and documentation, including the financial statements and interim financial reports. Market disclosures of periodic financial highlights are made through publication of press releases on ENAV's website and through the SDIR regulated information service.
The Investor Relations structure, in conjunction with the Chief Financial Officer, deals with relations with institutional investors and financial analysts, and manages the correct and timely release of economic and financial information to the market, including by way of ongoing updates on ENAV's activities through regular meetings with institutional investors and participation in sector conferences, as well as by sending information and press releases relating to the Company.
In the Financial Year, the Company also proactively sought and established a dialogue with ESG investors by carrying out dedicated conference calls. For further details on ENAV's approach to sustainability issues and the generation of long-term value, please refer to the Sustainability Report which is available on the Company website.
The Shareholders' Meeting is the corporate body through which shareholders participate in the decisions of the Company on issues for which they are responsible in accordance with the law and with the Articles of Association.
Specifically, the Shareholders' Meeting has the remit to decide, in ordinary or extraordinary session, on: (i) amendments to the Articles of Association; (ii) the approval of the financial statements and the allocation of profits; (iii) the appointment of members of the Board of Directors and Board of Auditors and their remuneration and any liability actions; (iv) the appointment and termination, acting on a proposal of the Board of Auditors, of the audit firm; (v) authorisation for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares; (vi) authorisation of sharebased remuneration plans; and (vii) other matters expressly provided for under the Articles of Association.

In accordance with Article 7.2 of the Articles of Association, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting shall be called at least once a year within 180 days from the end of the year to approve the financial statements, as the Company is required to draw up consolidated financial statements.

The proxy may be notified to the Company electronically, through the appropriate section on the Company's website indicated in the notice of call. The same notice of call may also indicate, in accordance with the applicable law, additional procedures for digital notification of proxies, which can be used in the specific Shareholders' Meeting to which the notice refers. To facilitate the collection of proxies from shareholders who are employees of the Company or its subsidiaries and belong to shareholder associations that meet the requirements laid down by applicable law, facilities to be used for communication and the collection of proxies are made available to these associations in accordance with the terms and procedures agreed with their legal representatives.
For individual Shareholders' Meetings, the Board of Directors may provide that the persons eligible to attend and vote a Meeting can participate via electronic telecommunications systems. In this case, the notice of call shall specify, including by way of a reference to the Company's website, the procedures for participation.
For each Shareholders' Meeting, the Company may designate an individual whom the shareholders may authorise by way of a proxy containing voting instructions on all or some of the items on the agenda to vote on their behalf, following the procedures set out by law and regulations, by the end of the second trading day prior to the date set for such Shareholders' Meeting, including for further calls.

The Shareholders' Meeting is chaired by the Chair of the Board of Directors or, in his/her absence, by the deputy Chair if appointed, or by another person designated by the Shareholders' Meeting. The Chair is assisted by a secretary, who may be a person other than a shareholder, appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting acting on a proposal of the Chair. When required by law and in any other case in which the Chair considers it appropriate, he may entrust the drafting of the minutes to a notary.
The Chair of the Shareholders' Meeting confirms the valid constitution of the Meeting, verifies the identity and eligibility of those present, governs the proceedings of the Meeting and verifies the results of voting. The outcomes of these verifications shall be reported in the minutes.
Resolutions adopted by the Shareholders' Meeting, in compliance with the law and the Articles of Association, are binding upon all shareholders, including those who are not present or who dissent.

In accordance with the Shareholders' Meeting Rules, the Chair of the Shareholders' Meeting will facilitate the discussion and give the floor to the Directors, members of the Board of Auditors and other persons that have requested to speak.
Persons entitled to vote and the common representative of the bondholders may request the floor to address the issues being discussed only once, making comments and requesting information. Persons entitled to vote may also make proposals. A request to speak may be made at the time that the Shareholders' Meeting is established and until the Chair declares the discussion on a specific issue closed. To ensure that the Shareholders' Meeting is conducted in an orderly manner, the Chair is entitled to establish, whether upon opening or during the discussion of individual issues, a time limit for the submission of requests to speak.
The Chair establishes how requests are made and the order of the speakers.
The Chair, and upon the latter's invitation, those supporting the Chair in the meeting shall answer the speakers upon completion of all remarks on the issues under discussion, or after each intervention, also taking account of any questions posed by shareholders prior to the Shareholders' Meeting to which the Company has not yet responded.
Those who have requested the floor may respond briefly.
Depending on the issue and significance of the individual topics under discussion, on the number of persons asking to speak and on any questions submitted by shareholders prior to the Shareholders' Meeting that have not yet been answered by the Company, the Chair shall establish the duration of remarks and responses, which normally shall not exceed ten minutes for remarks and five minutes for responses, in order to ensure that the Shareholders' Meeting can conclude its business within a single session. Before the end of the time allowed for the remarks or reply, the Chair shall ask the speaker to conclude.

The 2021 Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2020 was held on single call on 28 May 2021, with the participation of shareholders representing 76.29% of the share capital.
In view of the public health emergency related to the spread of COVID-19, and taking into account the provisions referred to in Art. 106 of Legislative Decree No. 18 of 17 March 202011, converted with amendments into Law No. 27 of 24 April 2020 and most recently updated by Decree Law No. 183 of 31 December 2020, converted with amendments by Law No. 21 of 26 February 2021, the 2021 Shareholders' Meeting was held without the physical presence of the shareholders, and the Company took the appropriate steps to ensure the Shareholders' Meeting could carry out its work and the Shareholders could exercise their rights in conditions of absolute safety for Shareholders, employees and collaborators. Specifically, the intervention in the Shareholders' Meeting of those who were entitled to vote took place exclusively through the representative of the Shareholders designated by the Company in accordance with Article 135-undecies of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 and the exercise of the rights of the Shareholders took place in accordance with the procedures indicated in the notice of call of the aforementioned Shareholders' Meeting. At the 2021 Shareholders' Meeting, in addition to the Chair and CEO, some Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors participated, in presence or connected by video-conferencing, together with selected managers and collaborators of the Company.
The reports on the proposals for resolutions were submitted and published in accordance with the law and in the manner provided for by the applicable legislation.

The minutes of the 2021 Shareholders' Meeting are available in the "Governance" section of the Company website.
The following is an overview of matters submitted for approval to the 2021 Shareholders' Meeting and a summary of the resolutions adopted.

The 2021 Shareholders' Meeting passed resolution on the Report on Remuneration and Remuneration Paid referred to in Article 123-ter of the TUF, approved by the Board of Directors on 20 April 2021; in particular, on the first section of said report (put to a binding vote in accordance with Article 123-ter(3-bis) of the TUF), the Shareholders' Meeting decided in favour to the full extent of 99.97% of the share capital present, while on section 2, relating to the remuneration paid, put to a non-binding vote in accordance with paragraph 6 of said Article, the Shareholders' Meeting decided in favour to the full extent of 81.40% of the share capital represented.
With regard to the provisions of Article 2391 of the Italian Civil Code, ENAV's Board of Directors has, for some time now, implemented the practice whereby, at each meeting of ENAV's Board of Directors, the Directors are invited to declare, at the opening of the proceedings, any personal interest or interest on behalf of third parties in connection with the items on the meeting's agenda.
With regard to the content of Article 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code on related-party transactions, of Legislative Decree No. 49 of 10 June 2019, transposing Directive 2017/828/EU ("SHRD II") and the amendments subsequently made (by way of Resolution No. 21624 passed on 10 December 2020) to the Related Parties Regulation, the Company approves related-party transactions in compliance with the provisions of the current laws and regulations, with its own Articles of Association, and with the procedures adopted in this regard. ENAV's current "Procedure for related-party transactions" ("RPT Procedure") adopted in compliance with the provisions of the applicable legal and regulatory framework, was last updated, taking into account the latest regulatory changes, by ENAV's Board of Directors on 1 July 2021, having obtained the opinion of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee12, which is tasked – pursuant to the relevant Regulation – with the duties of the related-parties committee under the RPT Regulation and RTP Procedure.
The RPT Procedure determines the criteria and procedures for identifying and mapping the related parties of the Company as well as the quantitative criteria for identifying transactions with related parties carried out by ENAV, either directly or through its subsidiaries, trustees or persons interposed, of minor or major relevance, respectively, by regulating the investigation and approval process, in order to ensure transparency and substantial as well as procedural correctness of the same operations.
In particular, the RPT Procedure distinguishes between:
In accordance with the provisions of Article 5(2) of the RPT Regulation, the RPT Procedure states that the greater importance threshold may also be exceeded as a result of the accumulation of multiple transactions of lesser importance (see definition below).
For said accumulation to apply, such transactions must be:
(i) of an amount greater than the Low-Value threshold but smaller than the threshold for Transactions of Greater Importance;
12 In the temporarily adjusted composition referred to in section 4.2.
13 The Directors and Auditors of ENAV, Managers with Strategic Responsibilities of ENAV and of the ENAV Group, as well as the Managers with Strategic Responsibilities of the parent company are considered "Directly Related Parties".
If the above conditions are met, the value of individual transactions (as defined in point (i) above) is aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the greater importance threshold has been exceeded, which would trigger the respective investigation and approval process and the reporting obligations provided for under applicable regulations:
The RPT Procedure does not apply to certain types of transactions, even if concluded with related parties of the Company, including in particular:
The following are also exempt from application of the RPT Procedure, without prejudice to the disclosure obligations provided for in that procedure or the Related Parties Regulation:
A central role in the architecture of the RPT Procedure is played by the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, which is required to express to the competent body for approving transactions submitted thereto under the RPT Procedure – the Board of Directors or any other competent delegated body – a reasoned opinion of the Company's potential interest in completing the transaction as well as its beneficial nature and substantive fairness of its conditions, based on the information submitted to the CRRPC (if complete) or requested thereby for further information. For the Committee to issue the opinions requested, the RPT Procedure establishes that it should receive specific flows of information, which in the case of Transactions of Greater Importance include the negotiation stage, during which Committee members can fully participate, make comments and/or request additional information.
In terms of its effectiveness, the required opinion is:
A simplified procedure is provided for where approval is a matter of urgency, in derogation from the procedures governing Transactions of Lesser and Greater Importance, provided that such transactions do not fall under the competence of the Shareholders' Meeting, notwithstanding in any case the provision for of a non-binding vote on such transactions expressed ex post by the first subsequent ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company.
The Board of Directors, the Board of Auditors and the Financial Reporting Officer receive complete disclosure on at least a quarterly basis on the execution of Transactions of both Lesser and Greater Importance with related parties. In compliance with the requirements of the Related Parties Regulation, the RPT Procedure also governs the public disclosure of transactions with related parties carried out by ENAV and its subsidiaries.
To support the assessments of the corporate structures in the classification of the relevant cases in the light of the RPT Procedure, ENAV has set up an Advisory Board.
The RPT Procedure is available on the Company's website at www.enav.it.
The Company adopts and constantly updates its controls regarding the internal management and external dissemination of documentation and information concerning ENAV and its subsidiaries, with particular reference to the inside information referred to in Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 (the "MAR Regulation") or information that is likely to become such.
The rules and principles contained in the Guidelines for the management of inside information (the "MAR Guidelines"), are aimed at ensuring compliance with the provisions of applicable market abuse14 laws and regulations and ensuring preservation of the maximum confidentiality of information that already qualifies as inside information or is otherwise likely to become such information, in order to prevent the selective dissemination of documentation and information concerning ENAV and the Group, such as advance release to certain parties, or delayed, incomplete or otherwise inadequate dissemination.
The MAR Guidelines therefore represent a updated, comprehensive body of rules, governing, among other things, the handling of price sensitive or significant information, the maintenance of the insider register and the register of significant information, the procedure for delaying the dissemination of inside information and flows of information within the company organisation and with subsidiaries in this area.
The MAR Guidelines, which are a fundamental component of the Company's ICRMS and an integral part of the overall system for preventing the offences referred to in Legislative Decree 231/2001, are available on the Company's website at www.enav.it.
The Internal Dealing Procedure governs the disclosure obligations and the limitations on transactions involving financial instruments issued by the Company, or derivative instruments or
14 The MAR guidelines take account of: (i) the MAR and subsequent delegated and Implementing Rules; (ii) the applicable provisions of Legislative Decree 58/1998 (the Consolidated Law on Finance); and (iii) the recommendations of the Consob guidelines for handling inside information, published on 13 October 2017.
other financial instruments linked thereto, where carried out by relevant persons and persons closely associated therewith.
The Company has also adopted a code of conduct for significant shareholders (the "Internal Dealing Code") relating to transactions involving financial instruments issued by ENAV, or derivative instruments or other financial instruments linked thereto, where carried out by significant shareholders (i.e., those holding at least 10% of the capital of ENAV) and persons closely associated therewith.
The Internal Dealing Procedure and the Internal Dealing Code are available on the Company's website at www.enav.it.
The Company carries out periodic training and information activities on the topic of market abuse and the respective sanctions system, most recently with a special initiative launched at the end of the financial year, which is currently being used by the company's audience. The training initiative was structured into four modules, highlighting the main focus areas in the field of market abuse, with an explanation of the relevant cases and details of the sanctions laid down under the law, as well as the consequences in terms of disciplinary action and compensation, also taking into account the profiles set out under Legislative Decree 231/2001.
In compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 231 of 8 June 2001 ("Decree 231"), which introduced a system of administrative liability into the Italian legal system for companies for certain types of offences committed by their directors, managers or employees in the interest of or for the advantage of the companies themselves, the Company has adopted the organisational, management and control model referred to in Decree 231 (the "Organisational Model").
The ENAV Organisational Model15 in force on the date of this Report, last updated – in one with the Group Code of Ethics – by the Resolution of the Board of Directors of 13 May 2021, is divided into a general part and a special part, the latter divided into sections relating to the categories of offence provided for by Decree 231. During the year, the Company's Model was updated taking into account the experience gained, the evolution of case law and doctrine, as well as the regulatory changes of Legislative Decree No. 231/01, reinforcing the control measures in relation to the payment system for the prevention of certain predicate offences referred to in Legislative Decree 231/01. As such, great focus was placed on updating the 231 models of the other Italian subsidiaries, in order to promote their correct and consistent implementation, also in relation to the Group's organisational and operational structure.
In accordance with Decree 231, the Supervisory Body is tasked with supervising the functioning and compliance with the Organisational Model and the Code of Ethics, as well as to update it with regard to the evolution of the organisational structure or the regulatory context of reference. The Supervisory Board in office was appointed on 27 May 2019 and consists of Maurizio Bortolotto (Chairman) and Luisa Nasoni (as external members) and the Deputy of Internal Audit (as an internal member). The Supervisory Body will remain in office until approval of the financial statements for the year and, in any event, until appointment of a new Supervisory Body. The Supervisory Body, supported in its activities by Internal Audit, takes care of the constant updating of the Organisational Model, monitors the effectiveness of the ongoing prevention and control system, as well as the preventive and corrective actions suggested, verifies the adequacy of the pre-verified crime prevention system and constantly takes care of the training to comply with Decree 231.
15 The general part of the Organisational Model of ENAV – and its subsidiaries – is available on the Company's website at www.enav.it, as is the Group Code of Ethics.
During the Financial Year, ENAV's Supervisory Body met every two months and performed the activities summarised below:
During the year, training activities were carried out in relation to the 231 system, through the Company's communication channels (newsletter, company newspaper, e-learning courses and live sessions) to involve all Company and Group employees; the courses followed a risk-based approach, with specialised training tailored to the individual internal structures, considering the risk of predicate offences.
For FY 2022, ENAV's Supervisory Body has planned to meet at the same frequency (in line with 2021), reserving the right to call ad hoc meetings should events require the Body to intervene. As at the date of this report, 3 meetings have been held. The meetings of the Supervisory Body have all been regularly minuted, and the minutes are kept by the Technical Secretary and at the Internal Audit department.
During the year, the Anti-Corruption Compliance Function, set up externally as part of the Company's certification process in accordance with ISO 37001 and coordinated by the Internal Audit department, carried out the following activities (among others):
These activities were carried out in coordination with the Integrated Compliance and Risk Management structure, with a view also to obtaining the ISO 37001 certification on 10 December 2021.
The ENAV Group Code of Ethics ("Code of Ethics")16 governs the rights, duties and responsibilities that ENAV and the Group companies assume towards the stakeholders with whom they find themselves interacting for the performance of their activities, and is applied to corporate bodies, management, employees, external collaborators, business partners, suppliers and all those who have relations with the Company.
The adoption of certain principles of conduct and ethical standards to be observed in interactions with third parties is part of the Company's commitment, including in relation to preventing the offences referred to in Decree 231, and the prevention of corruption and fraud. In that sense, the Code of Ethics forms an integral part of the Organisational Model. When the Organisational
16Together with the Organisational Model, the Code of Ethics is available to the public on the Company website (at www.enav.it) in both Italian and English.
Model was updated, the Code of Ethics was also updated by including some clarifications, with a better representation of the protections for whistleblowers and a clearer definition of responsibilities for the protection of workers' safety.
The Code of Ethics also outlines further safeguards with particular regard to ESG issues, and includes the principles of diversity, protection of equal opportunities, and the protection and promotion of human rights, as provided for by the applicable internal policies.
The Code of Ethics adheres to the principles of the "Code of Conduct of Public Employees" referred to in Presidential Decree No. 62 of 16 April 2013 – intended to ensure compliance with the constitutional duties of diligence, loyalty, impartiality and exclusive service in the name of the public interest – and recognises the following principles and fundamental values for the affirmation of the Company's mission, which the various stakeholders must refer to in order to foster the good operation, reliability and reputation of the Company: rule of law, safety, confidentiality, honesty and propriety, responsibility, equality, Integrity, transparency, equity and sustainability.
The rules of the Code of Ethics form an essential part of employee contractual obligations in accordance with Article 2104 of the Italian Civil Code and the Company evaluates – from a disciplinary point of view, in accordance with current legislation – conduct which is contrary to the principles enshrined in the Code of Ethics by applying the sanctions justified based on their varying severity.
In compliance with the Global Compact principle whereby "companies are committed to combating corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery", the ENAV Group is pursuing its commitment to fighting corruption in all its forms – whether direct or indirect – by applying the principles expressed in the pillars of its Anti-bribery Management System.
The Management System for the Prevention of Corruption is based on the Group's commitment to the combat corruption, applying criteria of transparency and conduct based on the principle of "Zero Tolerance for Corruption". In this context, ENAV is basing its work on broader compliance with the anti-corruption rules set out in national and international law and, as such, opposes and does not tolerate in any way bribery, fraudulent behaviour or illicit or irregular conduct in general that may be actively or passively committed by its employees or by third parties such as contractors, consultants, suppliers, commercial partners, agents and other individuals, legal entities and de facto entities that have relations with ENAV or its subsidiaries.
In accordance with this "Zero Tolerance for Corruption" principle, on 27 September 2021 the Board of Directors passed resolution to approve the "Policy for the Prevention of Corruption" adopted pursuant to the international standard ISO 37001:2016 and the "Guidelines of the management system for preventing and combating corruption". These serve to systemise the relevant controls in place, indicate the activities most exposed to the risk of corruption (based on an assessment of the risk associated with the activities carried out by the Company and its subsidiaries) and set out the principles for the prevention and protection of the Group's integrity and reputation, as well as the sanctions applicable in the event of violation of the respective precepts.
The documents listed above, which are part of an articulated internal prescriptive corpus made up of the MOG, Code of Ethics, policies, procedures, guidelines, regulations and provisions of the Management System governing the individual areas of reference, with which ENAV staff must comply, has enabled ENAV to obtain, during the year, certification for its Management System in accordance with the requirements of the "Anti-Corruption Management System" standard ISO 37001:2016.
To allow all Group employees and all stakeholders to make reports, ENAV has implemented a system for reporting alleged offences (Whistleblowing), which is able to ensure – pursuant to the legislation of L.179/2017 – the protection of the person making the report, ensuring that the facts reported are analysed in compliance with the principles of confidentiality and anonymity as prescribed by said legislation and within a reasonable time period.
Reports received through the various whistleblowing channels made available (IT platform, certified email, email, oral reports) are first assessed by the competent structure, which is set up for this purpose within the Internal Audit department. If they are considered relevant, they are further investigated by way of a preliminary investigation coordinated by the Internal Audit department, in cooperation with the competent structures where appropriate. The entire process (in addition to the Guidelines for the management of whistleblowing) is regulated in detail by the "Whistleblowing Regulation", which takes into account:
No further changes occurred after the close of the year.
On 3 December 2021, the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee, consisting of the business associations ABI, ANIA, Assonime, Confindustria and professional investors (Assogestioni), as well as Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (the "Corporate Governance Committee"), in its exercise of the prerogatives entrusted thereto by the Corporate Governance Code, sent to the Chairs of the governing and oversight bodies and to the CEOs of the Italian listed companies, a letter referring to certain areas of corporate governance where the issuers themselves could better adhere to the recommendations of self-regulation, also as a result of the monitoring by the Corporate Governance Committee and contained in the 9th Annual Report on the application of the Corporate Governance Code, which was attached to said letter (the "Report").
As a rule, the Report describes the results of monitoring the practices put in place by issuers following the recommendations made last year. The survey on the actual evaluation of the 2020 recommendations and the related initiatives taken by listed companies primarily denotes the consolidation of attention on the subject.
The letter from the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee was examined by ENAV's Board of Directors and by each of its Committees, as well as by the Board of Statutory Auditors. During the Financial Year, as in previous years, ENAV's governance was in full compliance in the areas addressed by the Committee with the 2020 recommendations, which is fully in line also with this reporting period.
Similar considerations apply to the 2021 recommendations.
• Reiterating its previous recommendations on integrating sustainability into strategies, the control system and remuneration, which are central to the Code's objective of sustainable success, the Committee "recommends that companies provide adequate and concise information in their corporate governance report on the methods adopted for its pursuit and on the approach adopted in promoting dialogue with relevant stakeholders. In this regard, it is recommended to provide concise information on the content of the policy of dialogue with all shareholders, without prejudice to the recommendation to publish the policy in full, or at least its essential elements, on the company website".
In this regard, it was noted that ENAV shows a growing degree of maturity in the field of sustainability and follows a path of constant evolution, developing and improving virtuous practices of annual engagement of its stakeholders, in order to better understand the most appropriate guidelines in terms of ESG and to draw up its own materiality matrix. The opportunities for interaction between stakeholders and management have now been further reinforced thanks to the Engagement Policy approved by the Board of Directors, which outlines the engagement practices already in place and further develops them in an well-balanced manner, and in accordance with best practices, in order to promote the most suitable dialogue with all shareholders and other stakeholders of relevance to the Company, in compliance with current regulations and with the principle of equal treatment of shareholders who are in identical situations. Please refer to section 8 for further details on the Policy, which is published in full with a view to maintaining the highest degree of transparency of the governance practices adopted by the Board of Directors.
Through its increasing focus on ESG policies, ENAV obtained for the first time in early 2022, the solicited Dow Jones Sustainability Index rating by making available all key information to represent its numerous practices and initiatives on a non-financial level, which were positively evaluated with a considerable advancement in the ranking compared to the previous unsolicited rating. ENAV continually monitors the progress of its Sustainability Plan and the achievement of the respective targets and projects, such as, in the field of climate change to reduce direct and indirect emissions, in the field of diversity & inclusion to make the company increasingly inclusive and clearly aligned against discrimination, in the field of governance and compliance to combat all forms of corruption thanks to the certification of its anti-corruption measures in accordance with ISO 37001 – aspects which demonstrate the maturity and robustness of its corporate governance in this area.
• One of the Code's structural innovations to be considered in the initial phase is the new approach to proportionality, which aims to recognise the needs and peculiarities of companies with a strong controlling shareholder and of smaller companies. In this regard, the Committee "recommends that the classification of the company with respect to the categories of the Code and the simplification options available for "non-large" and/or "concentrated" companies be assessed, and that the choices adopted be adequately indicated".
It was noted in this regard that ENAV is classed among "large companies with concentrated ownership". Despite the fact that, in the framework of the Code, this may give rise to a selective and proportional application of some recommendations, ENAV's Board of Directors (also taking into account the good practices already in place) has decided to pursue continuity; for example, as regards the self-assessment of the administrative body, which is carried out annually and in different modes, so as to take – throughout the duration of the mandate – every possible opportunity to perfect the functioning of the body and enhance the board's discussions even outside of the formal Board meetings.
• Reiterating the goal of improving adherence to the principles and recommendations of the Code regarding the appointment and succession of directors, which remain among the main areas for improvement in the governance of listed companies, the Committee invites "nonconcentrated ownership companies to adequately examine the recommendations on the renewal of the board of directors. In this respect, it should be noted that for such companies, the Code not only recommends that the outgoing board of directors express, in view of its renewal, its guidance on its optimal composition, taking into account the results of the self-assessment, but it also sets out this responsibility in the subsequent phase of the slate submission by the outgoing board and/or shareholders. In particular, the boards of directors of "non-concentrated" companies are invited to ask those who submit a slate containing a number of candidates exceeding half of the members to be elected to provide adequate information (in the documentation submitted for the filing of the slate) demonstrating that the slate complies with the guidance expressed by the outgoing board and indicating their own candidate for the office of Chairman".
Although the recommendation is not applicable to the Company, due to the above-mentioned principles of proportionality, the current Board (currently in the second year of its term of office) may consider, at the end of its term, formulating its own guidance to the shareholders (as it has done in the past) and implementing the additional recommendations mentioned above.
• With regard to the composition of the Board of Directors, the Code has made several decisions to strengthen the quality of the independence assessment and enable the Chairman of the Board of Directors to be classed as an independent director. In this regard, the Committee recommends "providing in the corporate governance report the criteria used to assess the materiality of professional, commercial or financial relationships and additional remuneration, including with reference to the Chairman of the board of directors, if he/she has been assessed as independent in accordance with the Code".
The process for ENAV's Board of Directors to periodically assess the independence of Directors is solid and well structured, using – among other things – a formally adopted policy which sets out the criteria and procedure for assessing the independence of ENAV Directors. In line with the recommendations of the self-regulation and based on said policy, as well as in compliance with the practices already in place, the Board periodically assesses the independence of the Directors (as it did most recently on 24 March) as reported in detail in section 3.15, noting that all of the criteria envisaged by the Code or by the policy have been applied to the Directors, and that ENAV's Board of Directors assessed the independence of its members with regard to substance as well as form; the Board of Statutory Auditors has also verified the correctness of the assessment process adopted for this purpose.
For the sake of teleological affinity, it is recalled that, in accordance with Article 2391 of the Italian Civil Code and at each meeting, the directors are requested to declare, at the start of each meeting, any interests either of their own or of others that concern any items of business on the agenda.
The independence assessment, in the broader context of periodic checks on whether directors meet all the requirements of the law and Articles of Association, is confirmed as solid and concrete based on clear procedures and objective criteria, both in terms of substance and form.
• While noting the improvement of some aspects of the management of pre-meeting information, the Committee invites the boards of directors to "pay particular attention, when drafting board and committee regulations, to set explicit deadlines for the submission of documentation and to exclude generic confidentiality requirements as possible exemptions to said deadlines. When drafting the report on corporate governance, companies should also adequately explain the actual compliance with the previously established notice period and where, in exceptional cases, it has not been possible to comply with said period, to explain the reasons and illustrate how this has been adequately addressed in board meetings".
ENAV has always relied on the Articles of Association in this regard which, moreover, provide for a longer average term than that envisaged by other issuers, in turn, enabling an even more informed decision from the Board of Directors. This is further strengthened by similar provisions contained in the Board of Directors Regulation, which also allow forms of flexibility in order to reconcile the needs of the business in particular situations.
As reported annually in the Corporate Governance Report, this deadline is always respected, and the annual board evaluations confirm that the quality and completeness of the Board's information is one of the greatest areas of satisfaction from the Board.
The Company's Board of Directors has a board room management service based on a highly secure information platform that may be accessed via mobile devices, ensuring full availability of the information needed to correctly fulfil the Board's mandate without interruption, while at the same time ensuring traceability and selective access in accordance with confidentiality requirements that are appropriate for the level of responsibility of the directors of a listed company.
• As far as gender equality is concerned, the new Code expressly recommends that all listed companies adhering to the Code adopt measures to promote equal gender treatment and opportunities within the entire corporate organisation, and monitor the concrete implementation of said measures. In this regard, while observing a growing focus on these issues, the Committee "invites companies to provide adequate information in the corporate governance report on the concrete identification and implementation of such measures".
The projects of the Sustainability Plan also include objectives to boost the ENAV Group's Diversity & Inclusion such as, in particular for the reporting period, the assessment of the Group's current positioning in the field of diversity and inclusion, with regard to both gender diversity and other areas of diversity, including a gap analysis and an action plan for gap filling. Management's commitment is to set out clear objectives in the 2021-2023 Sustainability Plan in order to improve inclusion practices with a view to a gradual gender rebalancing that is compatible with the specific characteristics of the majority of the Group's workforce.
• With regard to remuneration policies, in addition to reiterating the potential to improve policies with clear and measurable rules for the payment of the variable component and any end-ofoffice indemnities, the Committee "recommends adequately considering the consistency of the parameters identified for variable remuneration with the strategic objectives of the business activity and the pursuit of sustainable success, assessing, where appropriate, the provision of nonfinancial parameters. With particular regard to the remuneration parameters tied to the achievement of environmental and social targets, the Committee recommends that companies ensure that such parameters be predetermined and measurable".
ENAV's Remuneration Policy for the financial year – approved with the almost unanimous vote of the shareholders on the first section of the Report on Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid at the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 May 2021 – has for years now included a focus on ESG goals. It should be noted that the Remuneration Policy includes ESG project indicators, whose simultaneous existence is required as a gateway for a significant part of the short-term variable incentive, further details of which can be found in the Remuneration Report available on the Company website. With regard to long-term variable incentives, the 2020-2022 Performance Share Plan set out in the information document approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 20
May 2021, envisages an adjustment based on a non-financial indicator set for each individual plan cycle by the Board of Directors with the support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, in coordination with the Sustainability Committee, and reported in the Report on Remuneration.
