Having a global standard in this space is paving the way for how organisations can run effective whistleblower programs. It takes time for people to understand the benefits and to shift their mindsets. It’s like in previous areas, such as health and safety.

Unlike the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive (Directive 2019/1937) that requires EU Member States to transpose it into their national laws by the end of 2021, organisations may adopt ISO 37002 standard as a stand-alone guidance or along with other compliance management system standards (IS0 37301).Įarlier in May, we sat down virtually with working group members and originators Wim Vandekerckhove (Professor of Business Ethics at the University of Greenwich) and Andrew Samuels (CEO of WislPort) to discuss what it does, what it doesn’t do and who it is relevant for.ĪS: I think it will make it easier for organisations to understand that establishing an effective whistleblowing programme isn’t an onerous task and will also remove organisational excuses for not doing it. While its use will vary depending on the size, nature, complexity and jurisdiction of the activities of individual organisations, the guideline can assist an organisation to improve its existing whistleblowing policy and procedures, or to comply with applicable whistleblowing legislation. Most importantly, the guideline aims to provide guidance for organisations to create a whistleblowing management system based on the principles of trust, impartiality and protection. The guideline aims to support and protect whistleblowers and other interested parties involved, ensure that reports of wrongdoing are dealt with in a proper and timely manner and looks at improving organizational culture and governance. The guideline is applicable to all organizations, regardless of their type, size, nature of activity, and whether in the public, private or not-for profit sectors. ISO 37002:2021 aims to provide guidelines for implementing, managing, evaluating, maintaining and improving robust and effective whistleblowing management systems. ISO 37002, the new whistleblowing management system standard was published in July this year.
