The situation
A group organised across Europe had to establish a confidential reporting channel and a robust process for handling reports under the German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) and the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG). Reports also had to be capable of being submitted, reviewed and documented anonymously.
Our approach
We set up a digital reporting office with a confidential and anonymous communication channel. A clear review and handling process connects intake, follow-up questions, case assessment, documentation and an ombuds service for reports under whistleblower and supply-chain law.
The result
Protected reporting channel
Reports can be submitted confidentially and anonymously.
Traceable handling
Incoming reports and follow-up steps are managed in a defined process.
Pragmatic compliance
Technology and the ombuds service reduce the internal implementation effort.
