In May 2023, the Whistleblower Directive was transposed into the Whistleblower Protection Act in Germany. Since then, the introduction of a whistleblower system has been mandatory for all companies with more than 50 employees. But what does this mean in concrete terms for regulatory implementation? What exactly needs to be done and how? In this comprehensive, clear and easy-to-understand book, two experts will tell you everything you need to know about whistleblowing in your company:

- Relevance of whistleblowing and definitions
- Legal situation in Germany and international laws
- Management systems for practical implementation

Ombudsperson or is it better to use an IT tool? Not every solution is suitable for every company. The advantages and disadvantages of various solution strategies are highlighted and show the way through the maze of regulatory implementation requirements. A classification of sustainability issues (ESG) and references to the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act and AI round off the introduction.
