Speak-up Culture and Whistleblowing Channels

We encourage the organisations to introduce a mature Speak-Up Culture and to clarify the difference between Speaking-Up and Whistleblowing. It is a crucial step to allow Compliance with the newly introduced EU Directive protecting Whistleblowers who report breaches of the Union law.

Internal Investigations

Speak-up Culture and Whistleblowing Channels

We recommend that an internal Speak-Up process is in place to allow employees to discuss their concerns about an issue at work with their line manager or any other person they trust. This setup will allow teams and their leaders to resolve problems before they become a big concern constructively. Filing a whistleblower report should therefore be the road to be taken in a case when raising concern did not resolve the issue, if the reporter fears retaliation, or if the matter relates to breaches of the Union law.

We provide guidance on establishing a Speak-Up Policy and the related procedure and distinguishing it from Whistleblowing Process.

Setting up an internal Whistleblowing channel along with designing and implementing a Whistleblowing Policy and related process is one of the critical tasks after the EU Directive '2019/1937 of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law (the "Whistleblower Protection Directive") entered into force on 16 December 2019. Companies with more than 50 employees, public sector institutions, authorities, and municipalities with 10,000 or more inhabitants face the obligation to implement internal Whistleblowing channels.

Under the Whistleblowing EU Directive the organisations have to protect from retaliation not only employees who file a report but also job applicants, former employees and supporters of the whistleblower.

Organisations that do not implement internal Whistleblowing channels will not comply with the EU Directive and the respective national law. At the same time, the potential whistleblower will report straight to the external channels and public authorities. Consequently, organisations will face a new set of incalculable reputational and legal risks.

We support you in establishing full Compliance with the Directive and the respective national law by reviewing the existing Whistleblowing channel and process or implementing a new solution.

Internal Investigations

If your organisation faces internal or external allegations about potential misconduct like harassment, bribery, corruption or fraud, your organisation will have to initiate an internal investigation. We support you in planning and executing, and investigating such complaints. We will first help you understand which complaints or red flags merit further investigation to adequately plan resources to address the complaint. We grant timely, independent, objective, appropriately conducted, and properly documented investigation.

A thorough investigation will demonstrate a commitment to transparency and adherence to applicable laws and regulations through timely completion.
