Whistleblowing channel and anti-harassment procedure for companies

Deploy an independent, confidential internal reporting channel compliant with statutory whistleblower protection directives and workplace anti-harassment laws.

Home Resources Whistleblowing channel and anti-harassment procedure for companies

Guaranteed informant confidentiality and statutory compliance

The EU Whistleblower Protection Directive 2019/1937 is implemented through national laws, including Law 2/2023 in Spain and Law 93/2021 in Portugal, which generally require internal reporting systems for entities with 50 or more workers, subject to statutory exceptions. The UK and Gibraltar follow different local frameworks: there is no universal EU-style 50-worker rule, although whistleblowing protections and workplace anti-harassment duties still matter. Always verify the applicable country procedure.

Frequently asked questions

Which companies are legally required to implement an internal whistleblowing channel?

The answer depends on the country and sector. Spain’s Law 2/2023 and Portugal’s Law 93/2021 generally cover entities with 50 or more workers, subject to legal exceptions. The UK, Gibraltar and other jurisdictions use different rules, so the company should confirm its local obligation.

Can an informant report an incident without revealing their identity?

Yes. Informants can choose to submit reports completely anonymously. The system generates a private alphanumeric access code that allows ongoing two-way communication without revealing the informants identity or IP address.

What statutory deadlines must the company respect when receiving a report?

The law requires acknowledging receipt of the report within a maximum of 7 calendar days, and completing the internal investigation within 3 months (extendable to 6 months in exceptionally complex cases).

Can internal channel management be outsourced to an external law firm or specialist?

Yes. The company can appoint an independent external specialist or legal counsel to receive and investigate reports, while the company retains ultimate administrative responsibility.
