In December 2021, the European Whistleblower Protection Directive
reached its implementation deadline for the EU Member States, where
Sweden is included. Since then, the Directive has been either
implemented or discussed across virtually all the Member States.
The European Whistleblower Protection Directive aims to lay a minimum
framework to promote a safe and secure way for employees to good-faith
report on potential breaches of laws and misconduct in their work
environment.
The Directive application extends to organizations with more than 50
employees, with an implementation window period of up to the 17th of
December 2023 for organizations with less than 249 employees. |
