EU Whistleblowing Directive just five months from implementation – what do businesses need to know?

Marjorie Holmes and Sophie Timmins

From the end of 2021, EU companies and authorities with 250 or more employees must implement an internal whistleblowing reporting system, following an EU Directive announced in December 2019. From 2023, this will change to including all companies and authorities with more than 50 employees. In both cases, the whistleblowing reporting system must be made available to all employees.
