Panel three: Developments in the whistleblowing area
Wednesday 25 June (1425 - 1520)
Description
This panel will explore international legal requirements from selected jurisdictions and offer best practices in implementing the always challenging, yet for many good reasons worthwhile implementation of corporate whistleblowing systems. The panellists are tackling these topics:
• Is there a one-size-fits-all master solution on dealing with whistleblowing in different regions, countries or industries?
• Do we have to offer financial awards for whistleblowers?
• What is the recommendable scope of a modern whistleblowing system: Preventing corruption only vs identifying all kinds of potential misconduct?
• How can we assure whistleblowing effectiveness over time?
