The Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG): Strengthening transparency and integrity in the company

The Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) has been in force since July 2023, obliging companies to set up secure and confidential channels for reporting grievances. The aim of the law is to protect whistleblowers from disadvantages and reprisals and at the same time to help uncover violations of laws and internal regulations at an early stage. Companies that do not comply with these requirements risk sanctions.

Protection from reprisals

Develop clear measures to ensure that whistleblowers are not disadvantaged or discriminated against after reporting a violation.

Risk management for violations

Implement processes to systematically assess reported breaches, analyze risks and take appropriate remedial action.

Documentation and traceability

Record and document all incoming reports and the resulting follow-up measures to ensure transparency and traceability.

Anonymity and data protection

Ensure that all reports can be made anonymously and that the personal data of whistleblowers is strictly protected.

Training and sensitization of employees

Train your employees to create an awareness of the Whistleblower Protection Act and its importance for the company.

Cooperation with authorities

If necessary, work closely with the relevant authorities to clarify reported violations in a timely manner and ensure compliance with legal requirements.

The most frequently asked questions about the module

With our Hintbox whistleblower system, you can implement the requirements of the EU Whistleblower Directive (2019/1937) and national implementing legislation, such as the HinSchG, in just a few minutes. The system enables optimal case management with a clear dashboard. A separate, clearly structured form is available for whistleblowing reports, which can be completed in just a few minutes - completely anonymously.

Although the EU Whistleblower Directive obliges companies with 50 or more employees, the Hintbox can also be used regardless of the number of employees or subsidiaries. The EU Whistleblower Directive also obliges legal entities in the public sector to implement a whistleblower system for which we provide a solution, just as we do for ombudspersons.

As our partner, you can offer the whistleblowing system (as a white label product) with your logo and name to your clients and customers as an extended service package. It doesn't matter whether you are a lawyer, tax consultant, auditor, data protection officer or compliance consultant. Arrange an appointment today appointment with us today and we will introduce you to the partner solution free of charge and without obligation.

With the Hintbox, legal entities in the public sector fulfill the requirements for implementing a whistleblower system in accordance with the EU Whistleblower Directive (2019/1937). The Hintbox strengthens additional trust in the integrity, neutrality and objectivity of the public administration. The Hintbox can be a further tool for the administration to nip suspicions of "bad faith" in the bud by giving public authority employees and citizens the opportunity to report irregularities and breaches of the law to a neutral person or body - even anonymously - via the digital whistleblower system.

  • Ensuring the anonymity of whistleblowers.
  • Reduction of deterrent thresholds for potential whistleblowers so that violations are reported without fear of possible job loss.
  • Support for the Compliance Manager in processing, so that there are no more breaches of deadlines or data protection regulations.
  • A digital system can receive information around the clock.
  • Issue of a confirmation of receipt.

The costs depend on the number of employees and start from €49 net per month for the basic package and from €149 net per month for the premium package.

The Hintbox includes many functions. The integrated triage system evaluates incoming cases and prioritizes them automatically. Our digital whistleblowing system guides compliance officers and processors in organizing the next steps and stores the history of previous interactions and actively supports you in meeting deadlines, such as providing feedback to the reporter on the current processing status and some other deadlines. After submitting a report, login data is generated for the user. The whistleblower can use these to log in to their Hintbox at any time, write messages, upload additional files or create a new report, anonymously if required. Nevertheless, our digital whistleblowing system takes over many parts of the communication between the whistleblower and the processor.

Companies can customize our digital whistleblowing system as they wish. Corporations or corporate groups can create additional companies in the digital whistleblowing system. When submitting a report, whistleblowers can then specifically select a company to which the reported violation applies. As part of this, companies can control the access rights of managers and processors to companies and cases in the digital whistleblowing system and also involve external persons in case processing. The Hintbox is available in well over 24 languages and with an automatic translation function.

The notice period is three months.

The customer can export his data in machine-readable format, a JSON file.

CSDDD for companies: The most important aspects of the EU law

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) is part of the new EU law on supply chains that is attracting a lot of attention. This regulation requires companies to audit their supply chains to ensure that there are no human rights violations or environmental damage. Companies will soon have to prepare to meet these requirements. But what exactly does this mean? In short, companies must ensure that their suppliers and partners respect human rights and act in an environmentally friendly manner. This directive gives companies the opportunity to take responsibility and do good. In this article, we will explain the most important points of the directive in more detail. We will also explain what companies should look out for and what benefits they can derive from it.

The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG): all you need to know

The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) for companies came into force in Germany on January 1, 2023. Since January 1, 2024, it has already applied to companies with at least 1,000 employees. The law on corporate due diligence obligations in supply chains obliges companies to take human rights and environmental standards within their value chain into account. The due diligence obligations defined in the law apply to both the business activities of companies and their suppliers. The law presents companies with the challenge of ensuring ethical standards in their supply chains. Nevertheless, implementing the law can not only improve a company's image, but also its competitiveness. In our article, we have summarized the most important points and background information on the law.
