CODE OF ETHICS OF GENENTA SCIENCE S.P.A.

 

APPLICABLE TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

 

To promote the ethical conduct and integrity generally of Genenta Science S.p.A. (the “Company” or “Genenta”), and to promote accurate, fair and timely reporting of the Company’s financial results and condition and other information we release to the public market and include in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), all directors, officers and employees of the Company are bound by the following Code of Ethics (the “Code”)

 

1.General principles

 

1.1.Impartiality

 

In decisions that affect relations with its stakeholders (personnel management or work organization, the relationships with shareholders, the relationships with the surrounding community and the institutions that represent it), the Company avoids any discrimination on the basis of age, gender, sexuality, state of health, race, nationality, political opinions and religious beliefs of its stakeholders.

 

1.2.Honesty

 

Within the scope of their professional activity, the Company’s collaborators are required to respect diligently the laws in force, the Code and the internal regulations. Under no circumstances may the pursuit of Genenta’s interest justify dishonest conduct.

 

1.3.Correctness in case of potential conflicts of interest

 

In the execution of any activity, it is necessary at all times to avoid situations where the persons involved in the transactions are, or may even appear to be, in conflict of interest. This refers both to cases in which a collaborator pursues an interest that differs from the Company’s mission and from the balancing of stakeholders’ interests or takes “personal” advantage of business opportunities of the Company, and to cases in which representatives of customers or suppliers, or public institutions, act contrary to the fiduciary duties linked to their position.

 

1.4.Confidentiality

 

The Company guarantees the confidentiality of the information in its possession and refuses to seek confidential data, except in the case of express authorisation and in compliance with the legal regulations in force. Furthermore, Genenta’s collaborators are bound not to use or dispose of confidential information for purposes unrelated to the exercise of their business, such as insider trading.

 

1.5.Value of human resources

 

The human and professional skills of Genenta’s employees are an indispensable factor in the Company’s success. For this reason, Genenta protects and promotes the value of its human resources in order to improve and increase the wealth and competitiveness of the skills possessed by each employee. In this sense, the Company is committed to encouraging the skills, potential and personal interests of its collaborators so that they find fulfilment in the achievement of the Company’s objective.

1.6.Personal integrity and dignity

 

The Company guarantees the physical and moral integrity of its employees, working conditions that respect individual dignity and a safe and healthy working environment.

 

The Company’s employees are offered equal work opportunities on the sole basis of their professional skills and performance, without any discrimination, and in full respect of individual rights.

 

1.7.Fairness of authority

 

In signing and managing contractual relations that involve the establishment of hierarchical relationships - especially with employees – the Company undertakes to ensure that authority is exercised fairly and correctly, avoiding any abuse. In particular, the Company guarantees that authority does not turn into an exercise of power detrimental to the dignity and autonomy of the employee, and that the choices made in organizing work safeguard the value of each individual employee.

 

1.8.Entrepreneurship

 

The Company is committed to operating its business in an economical and efficient manner in order to provide solutions and services with a high quality/cost ratio and to achieve full satisfaction of its stakeholders.

 

1.9.Responsibility for the community

 

The Company intends to carry out its activities in an environmentally sustainable manner, respecting local and national communities, and to support initiatives of cultural and social value in order to achieve a consolidation and constant improvement of its reputation in terms of the environment and its social acceptance.

 

1.10.Environmental protection

 

The environment is a primary asset that the Company is committed to safeguarding.

 

It is intention of the Company to plan any future activities that may have a more significant environmental impact, seeking a balance between economic initiatives and unavoidable environmental needs, in consideration of the rights of future generations.

 

Genenta is therefore committed to ensuring that the environmental and landscape impact of its activities is as limited as possible, preventing risks to the population and the environment not only in compliance with the legislation in force from time to time, but also taking into account the development of scientific research and the best experiences in the field.

3.Breach of the Code

 

Any violation of this Code, including failures to report potential violations by others, will be viewed as a severe disciplinary matter that may result in personnel action, including termination of the agreement of employment.

 

Any waiver of this Code for executive officers or directors may be carried out only by the board of directors or an authorized committee of the board of directors and must be promptly disclosed to stockholders.

 

It is against the Company’s policy to retaliate against any employee for good faith reporting of violations of this Code.
