Since 2 July 2023, the legislator has obliged all companies with 50 or more employees to set up internal reporting offices under the Act for Better Protection of Whistleblowers (Whistleblower Protection Act – HinSchG). Through these, information on actual or potential legal violations or breaches of compliance can be reported. Violations can entail considerable legal and financial risks for a company. In addition, there is the reputational damage that can accompany violations.
Meeting legal requirements while creating added value at the same time
By submitting reports, violations can be detected early and stopped, thus minimising possible damage.
For this to work, it must be ensured that the whistleblowers are protected from reprisals. Confidential handling of the reports received is therefore indispensable.
An efficiently designed whistleblowing system enables your organisation to identify, handle and prevent compliance violations in the future, which helps to minimise legal risks.
We are happy to support you in the legally compliant fulfilment of the new legal requirements.

Provision and management of a digital whistleblowing system and further reporting channels
Well-founded initial legal assessment of incoming reports with regard to the scope of the HinSchG possible
