We share our knowledge

The changes to Polish legislation regarding whistleblowers have inspired us to hold meetings with experts in a series of webinars under the banner “Let’s talk about whistleblowing”. These are short discussion rounds during which experts present key issues related to whistleblower protection and business ethics. The meetings offer an excellent opportunity to learn more about the protection of whistleblowers and to exchange views and observations about practical challenges posed by the implementation of whistleblower protection laws.

Whistleblowing Summit International

Whistleblowing Summit International is an international edition of our previously held Whistleblowing Summit. It is also the first-of-a-kind international conference convened with the view to learn more about the protection of whistleblowers.

The first edition of Whistleblowing Summit International took place on 5 March 2024. The conference had over 300 sign-ups and lasted over 5 hours.

12 experts-practitioners from France, Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain, all of whom had vast experience in implementation of whistleblowing legislation, shared their knowledge and insights. Attendees had an opportunity to gain procedural knowledge and learn about approaches and experiences of professionals from across Europe.
