​Principles 
The Carlo Mendozzi Foundation – ETS also defined with the acronym FCM ETS, is a non-profit organization and was set up with the aim of honoring the memory of Carlo Mendozzi in a worthy and lasting way so that his legacy, made up of civil and human values, can be preserved. The Foundation intends to achieve these aims through the pursuit of civic solidarity and social utility purposes.  

Rules
The Foundation is administered by a Board of Directors, supported by a Technical Committee, and under the control of a legally authorized person, and carries out its activity in conformity and under the observance of the rules contained in the Statute.  

​The Technical Committee will have the task of supporting the work of the Board of Directors and collaborates with it, in a non-binding manner, in relation to the guidelines, programs and activities of the Foundation, as well as in the formulation of the multiannual programmes and the verification of their implementation. Formulates proposals for the appointment of experts to be appointed for specific purposes, interventions and/or activities.  

​The verification of the Foundation's activities is exercised by a control body composed of a single effective member chosen from the categories of subjects referred to in article 2397, paragraph II, of the civil code, and to which article 2399 of the civil code applies. The control body supervises compliance with the law and the statute and compliance with the principles of correct administration, also with reference to the provisions of the legislative decree of 8 June 2001, n. 231, if applicable, as well as on the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure and on its concrete functioning. It also exercises accounting control if a person in charge of the statutory audit of the accounts is not appointed or in the event that one of the members of the control body is a statutory auditor entered in the appropriate register.  

The control body also performs tasks of monitoring the observance of civic, solidarity and social utility purposes.
