Whistleblowing Channel

The Whistleblowing Channel is the communication medium through which a company receives and manages reports or complaints made by its employees or individuals linked to the organisation. These reports may relate to irregular or illegal conduct that has been witnessed or is known, and that violates legal regulations or the company’s internal policies.

This channel is a key tool for detecting irregular or unlawful behaviour within the company, whether it involves breaches of national or international regulations or violations of internal policies. Proper implementation allows the company to anticipate risks, improve management, resolve internal conflicts, avoid sanctions, and prevent crimes, fraud, corruption, harassment, and other unethical practices.
