Quels sont les objectifs poursuivis ou les compétences visées ?

On May 2nd, 2023, Luxembourg's Parliament passed Bill 7945 to implement the EU Directive 2019/1937 into national law. This legislation goes beyond the initial scope of the Directive and was prompted by several cases of whistleblowers, highlighting the need for balanced protection. Protecting individuals who report legal wrongdoing is a crucial component of any organization's internal control or regulatory supervision.
Whistleblower retaliation is seen as unfair by the public, and mishandling such cases can cause significant harm to a firm's reputation. Studies show that employees are more likely to use a whistleblowing mechanism when an effective non-retaliation policy is embedded in a company's corporate values.
What does the EU Whistleblower Protection law mean for your firm, and what steps should you take to ensure that your firm is compliant with the new law?
