The Cooperative prohibits any form of retaliation or discrimination having effects on the working conditions for reasons related to the reports, neither for the reporting party nor for those who collaborate in the activities of verification of the merits. Discriminatory measures include unjustified disciplinary actions, harassment in the workplace and any other form of retaliation that results in intolerable working conditions and in any case worse than those previously experienced.

The adoption of discriminatory measures against whistleblowers can be reported to the National Labour Inspector, for measures within its competence, not only by the whistleblower, but also by the trade union organiser indicated by the whistleblower.
