It is paramount for any whistleblower system to work properly that whistleblowers feel safe and protected. This is why the EU Whistleblowing Directive aims at guaranteeing a high level of protection for whistleblowers who report breaches of EU law. Whether or not your company is subject to the new EU Whistleblowing Directive, this webinar will provide you with a unique opportunity to hear from Dentons’ specialists on its key features, the international trends on the regulation of whistleblowing systems, and the rolling out of corporate whistleblowing systems.

During the Q&A section of the agenda, you can discuss with our lawyers and your peers the challenges associated with practical implementation, especially for those companies operating in EU member states that previously only had partial legal protection or those of you covering multiple jurisdictions with global policies.

Why join?

The webinar is designed to cover the crucial questions regarding whistleblower systems arising from the new EU Whistleblowing Directive and the future ISO standard 37002 concerning whistleblowing management systems.

Our highly experienced compliance lawyer, and former in-house executive, Gabriele Haas, will explain the changes resulting from the EU Directive to help you decide whether you need to set up a whistleblower system or how you might adapt your current one.

Given his many years helping clients implement and manage whistleblower systems, our Europe Compliance group Co-Chair Diego Pol will provide tips on the implementation and integration of a whistleblower system into a compliance management system successfully.

We are very excited to have Dentons’ Costa Rican partner Carolina Muñoz on the webinar. Carolina is on the drafting committee for ISO standard 37002 and she will provide invaluable insights into the ISO standard, its interrelation to other standards and the type of requirements that are to be expected.

The webinar will be moderated by Rainer Markfort. Rainer is a member of the board of DICO (German Institute for Compliance) and heads the working committee on Business Partner Compliance at DICO. Rainer has many years of experience presenting preventive compliance advice to companies and their boards, in a variety of industries, and in setting up robust compliance management systems.
