Making a report

We do not get to know the identity of anonymous reporter in any phase.

Good to know
EU´s whistleblower directive protects reporter by regulating that the reporter shall be able to report without fear of any harmful consequences resulting from the report.
According to the whistleblower directive, on 17 December 2021 companies with over 250 employees shall have internal reporting tool in place, in order to able reporting of breach of certain EU level regulation and national laws given on the bases of EU regulation (i.e. public procurement, consumer protection, product and traffic safety, prevent of money laundering, protection of environment, privacy and data privacy, competition). In addition, according to the directive EU member states shall nationally establish public reporting channels. Public channel shall be coordinated by named national authority. As the regulation is given by directive, the EU member states shall enforce it by national laws. In Finland the national law is still under preparation and public reporting channel has not yet been established.
Suspected or noticed breaches should primarily be addressed to applicable internal reporting channel. Secondarily the report may be sent to public national reporting channel. Finally, the reporter is entitled to make the information public if for some reason internal or external channel cannot be used or if appropriate actions have not been conducted within due time after report has been given. Directive protects the reporters to the extent the report falls within the directive´s scope and is given according to the directive.
