BrasilAgro wanted a secure, cost-effective whistleblowing solution for employees working with rural properties. WhistleB’s system allows employees to blow the whistle online or by phone, in their own language. The company communicates with the anonymous whistleblower and handles all cases in the secure case management tool, in many languages.

Carnegie requires the strictest data security as a prerequisite for building confidence in the service. WhistleB’s data security solution is similar to the banking industry’s security solutions and is tested regularly by external IT experts. Carnegie offers the WhistleB whistleblowing system in all countries of operation, in the local languages.

Cramo uses the WhistleB solution to foster an open work environment. “The anonymous channel is vital to open communication at Cramo. Technically, the service has worked well. Half of the reports have led to a dialogue with the anonymous whistleblower, important to satisfactory investigations.” Anders Collman, former Sustainability Director, Cramo

Nibe uses the WhistleB whistleblowing service worldwide. “WhistleB’s case management tool has a user-friendly interface that enables dialogue with an anonymous whistleblower, secure translations and third-party investigations. The service was efficiently implemented with WhistleB leading the entire process.” Kenneth Magnusson, Quality Manager, Nibe.

Stena uses the whistleblowing system for all employees as part its compliance work. “The system is easy to use and implement, and its features facilitate case management. Staying in touch with the anonymous whistleblower is simple, and we are notified as soon as a new message is received.” Caroline Jakobsson, Head of Corporate Governance, Stena.

Swedfund uses the whistleblowing service for its employees, contractors, interns and portfolio companies. “WhistleB provides a global service, that is easy to adapt, and they have a service-minded attitude. The service is a vital tool in our efforts to combat corruption and other serious irregularities.” Johan Ek, Senior Legal Counsel at Swedfund.

Nordea’s employees and external parties use the whistleblowing system to report suspected irregularities, such as fraud or illegal or negligent activity. Nordea’s internal control is designed to detect and prevent misconduct, but nothing safeguards against all incidents. Nordea therefore encourages people to report any suspected unethical behaviour.

The Commerce Commission has launched an anonymous whistleblowing tool to enable people to report cartels without being identified. The tool has been designed to ensure the highest possible data security and privacy and it encrypts any data and information provided. It is also regularly tested by external security experts.
