# Whistleblowing

Directive (EU) 2019/1937 introduces a European standard on whistleblowing. Transposed into Italian law by Legislative Decree No. 24 of 10 March 2023, it makes whistleblowing systems mandatory in the private sector as well, thereby requiring the establishment of procedures for reporting unlawful conduct in full compliance with regulations.

## What does whistleblowing mean?

Whistleblowing is a compliance mechanism that enables **employees of a company or organization, as well as third parties,** to **confidentially and securely report** any irregularities or unlawful activities they become aware of. **The channel used** to submit these reports **must ensure the confidentiality** of the whistleblower and the content of the communication.

### Who is the whistleblower?

The **whistleblower** is the individual who reports, discloses, or **files a complaint with the judicial authorities or the Court of Auditors** regarding violations of national or European Union laws that harm the public interest or the integrity of a public administration or private entity. These violations must have come to their attention in the context of a public or private work environment.

### Who handles the reports?

The management of the reporting channel must be entrusted to an internal, dedicated, and autonomous person or office, with staff specifically trained in handling whistleblowing reports.
