Companies forced to set up whistleblowing channels under new EU law
British companies must set up internal reporting channels to bosses and the media under new EU laws to strengthen whistleblower protection brought forward after the "dieselgate" and Cambridge Analytica scandals.
Britain has one of the most advanced systems of protection in place but the European Commission’s proposed legislation will require some businesses to take further steps.
The legislation will raise standards in other EU countries where protection is far less by introducing safeguards against retaliation, such as demotion or dismissal.
If a whistleblower suffers retaliation, the burden of proof will be reversed onto companies rather than the employee, under the bill, which will be amended before it becomes law.
Businesses with more than 50 employees or a turnover of more than €10m (£8.8m) must set up a three-tier reporting system, including internal channels, reporting to regulators and, in cases of overriding public interest, reporting to the media.
