WHISTLEBLOWER SERVICES
The new EU Directive 2019/1937 for the protection of whistleblower must be implemented by December 17, 2021. It obligates businesses and specifically legal entities in the private and public sectors to establish an anonymous and secure reporting channel for whistleblowers. If internal grievances occur, the introduction of such a system will encourage potential whistleblowers to refrain from reporting to supervisory authorities or public media. Specifically, this new obligation affects:
- businesses with more than 50 employees,
- businesses with an annual turnover over 10 million Euro, as well as
- cities and municipalities with more than 10.000 inhabitants.
CLARIUS.LEGAL offers a secure online platform which whistleblowers can use to report grievances or violations anonymously. The platform is branded with the client’s CI and is easily accessible via internet browser. Optionally, a phone hotline can be set up which provides an additional reporting channel for whistleblowers.
