Fincantieri, one of the world’s leading groups in high-complexity shipbuilding, and the Guardia di Finanza signed today a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at strengthening cooperation to prevent and fight criminal infiltrations and irregularities in the economic and production sectors.
The agreement establishes a joint effort to protect legality, with a focus on preventing and combating economic and financial crimes, fraud, corruption, and illegal labor practices.
Through extensive action at each of Fincantieri’s production sites, the agreement will enhance the exchange of relevant data and information with significant preventive value between the company and the territorial units of the Guardia di Finanza. This will institutionalize an outstanding collaboration and strengthen the protection of compliance and transparency within its supply chain.
The cooperation protocol will also increase the effectiveness of the respective actions, facilitating the identification of high-risk sectors and phenomena. Furthermore, for Fincantieri – a company of strategic importance – this will allow access to the highest forms of public-private partnerships, a fundamental pillar in protecting the industry and national security.
This agreement falls within the initiatives already undertaken by Fincantieri to ensure the highest standards of integrity and transparency, in line with the National Framework Agreement on Legality signed with the Italian Ministry of the Interior. Fincantieri is actively engaged in strengthening the bond between business and community, promoting a model of sustainable and inclusive development. Legality and sustainability are not merely ethical values but strategic levers that strengthen companies by enhancing competitiveness, fostering the creation of shared value, attracting talent, and securing essential resources for long-term growth.
In this direction, the recent Memorandum of Understanding with the Study Foundation of the National Council of Labor Consultants also aims to adopt the ASSE.CO. certification, ensuring compliance with social security and wage regulations within the shipbuilding supply chain. This concrete commitment, through pilot projects at the strategic shipyards of Monfalcone and Marghera, aims to elevate social responsibility and workplace safety standards in the sector.
