  • Whistleblowing Directive Implementation Projects

An effective whistleblowing system is not only about the creation of a mailbox or hotline. It needs to be properly communicated to ensure responsible reporting. Procedures need to detail the handling of reports, clearly outline the protection for reporting persons, but also the consequences for any misuse. 

  1. Policies and Procedures: We review your existing policies and procedures and/or support you in elaborating all relevant communications to make your whistleblowing system as accessible and understandable as possible.
  2. Training: We support you in the design of your training - for all employees regarding the use of the whistleblowing system, but also for the dedicated staff handling the reports or to brief the Board and Management. 
  3. System: We advise you on the setup of an internal solution for your whistleblowing system or the choice of an external provider that fits your needs.
  4. Alert handling and Managed Services: Our experts can assist in the running of your alert intake by assessing whether an alert is substantiated, meaning if it needs further investigation.
  5. Investigation support: In case a report needs further investigation, we can accompany you during the entire investigation life-cycle.
