How to File a Whistleblower Report with EU Authorities
Navigate the complexities of reporting unethical behavior or misconduct with confidence. In response to the EU Whistleblowing Directive, we’ve put together this comprehensive list of resources to file a whistleblower report – no matter where you’re located in the European Union.
Your voice matters – let us help you ensure it’s heard.
Your whistleblowing hotline information is unique to your organization. We suggest searching your company intranet or reaching out to your HR team for support.

Occasionally, an internal report to your organization’s hotline is insufficient, or not possible. In such cases, reports can be made to an external government agency. Access country-specific EU whistleblower resources below – simply find your country in this alphabetical list.
