1st Birthday of the BE Whistleblowing Law

Webinar | 01.16.24, 12:00 PM CET - 1:30 PM CET

Address

Virtual

In collaboration with the IBJ

After the first anniversary of Belgium's whistleblower legislation, it is time to take a look at the state of play. The legislation now applies to both "large" companies (250+ employees) and "medium" (50+ employees). Therefore, all these companies today must have an internal reporting channel, as well as a whistleblowing policy at the company level.

During the webinar, we will share best practices around setting up internal reporting channels as well as keeping them operational. We will also reflect on the substance of internal whistleblowing regulations (policies). Finally, we will look ahead: what appropriate follow-up should a company give to a (justified) report by a reporter?
