Now that the deadline of the EU whistleblowing Directive has expired, we need to ask: do you have everything in place?

The Netherlands has quite some work to do in shifting culturally from the ombudsman approach to one that facilitates fully automated anonymous reporting – as described by the Directive. 

On 31 October, we hosted a webinar on the Directive and its implications for Dutch organisations. Johanne Boelhouwer, Partner at Dentons, answered questions such as: 

• What steps do Dutch organisations need to take to comply? 
• Why do organisations choose to set up reporting channels for third-parties? 
• What are the differences between the EU Directive and its Dutch transposition?
