How-To: Whistleblowing with .LOUPE
Our multi channel reporting system

Since the Whistleblower Protection Act, all companies with more than 50 employees are required to implement compliance structures or a corresponding compliance organization (at least limited to an efficient whistleblowing management system).

Although it is the responsibility of a managing director to design the organization in such a way that it operates within the legal framework and thus complies with local laws and legal regulations – this personal liability means that a uniform compliance structure must be created (e.g. § 22 GmbHG, § 25 GmbHG, § 82 AktG, § 84 AktG). These laws require management to establish internal control systems. The legal obligations on whistleblowing and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD) force organizations to implement compliance structures by law.

The Supreme Court has also ruled that effective compliance management must be established (OGH, 3 0b 34/97i).

A whistleblower is somebody who notices, detects and also reports potential violations of laws, internal rules and potential risks of an organisation.

Typically, the setup is done within one day. If needed, our partners are happy to support you building or improving your compliance organisation.
