WHISTLE-BLOWER SERVICES
The new EU Directive 2019/1937 for the protection of whistle-blower must be implemented by December 17, 2021. It obligates businesses as well as cities and municipalities to establish an anonymous and secure reporting channel for whistle-blowers. If internal grievances occur, the introduction of such a system will encourage potential whistle-blowers 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 whistle-blowers 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 whistle-blowers.
