Whistleblower Channel

aw 2/2023, of 20 February, on the protection of persons who report regulatory infringements and the fight against corruption, establishes that legal entities in the private sector with 50 or more employees, as well as all public sector entities, must have internal reporting systems and channels in place so that any of their members, as well as suppliers or contractors, can report internally any regulatory breach constituting a criminal offence or administrative offence (serious or very serious).

The purpose of the Law is to protect whistleblowers from retaliation, as well as to promote a culture of reporting and integrity in organisations. These systems or channels can be outsourced.

At Fortuny Legal we design and implement internal whistleblowing channels for all types of organisations, both public and private, with the aim of complying with the efficiency requirements established by Law 2/2023 of 20 February. Therefore, through the “Law 2/2023 pack“, Fortuny Legal offers the service of establishment and management of the internal information system, which includes:

• • Software or online platform that supports the reception of information or complaints.
  • Regulatory structure relating to the internal information system: system policy, procedure for receiving and managing information, investigation protocol, appointment of the person in charge of the system, as well as adaptation in terms of personal data protection.
  • Selection or screening of the information received through the system or internal channel.

We develop “turnkey” projects, in coordination with the compliance function of each organisation, to whom we advise on the different steps to be taken.
