In transposition of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on so-called Whistleblowing discipline, the new Italian law obliges private and public sector entities to establish a procedure and internal reporting channels that protect and guarantee the highest levels of confidentiality for Whistleblower, individuals reporting violations of national or EU law of which they have become aware in a work-related context. Protection is extended to include a whole range of whistleblowers beyond just employees and it also takes into account external stakeholders (i.e. consultants, sub-contractors and vendors, “facilitators” such as relatives of the whistleblower).
