Season 6: Episode 3 - Whistleblowing

In this week’s episode, Kathy Jacobs, former President of Compliance Institute and Chair of the Institute’s Sustainability Working Group speaks with Philip Brennan, Founder and Managing Director of Raiseaconcern.com and former President of Compliance Institute.

Philip delves into the critical and evolving topic of Whistleblowing, its regulation within the European Union and how it has evolved in practice. Whistleblowing, broadly defined as the act of exposing wrongdoing within an organisation, is a vital tool for promoting transparency and accountability. In this podcast we explore the impact of the EU Whistleblowing Directive of 2019, on both businesses and individuals. Philip provides insights into the real-world implications and challenges faced by organisations. Philip also uncovers the challenges, successes, and future prospects of whistleblowing in the EU, and how it shapes the landscape of corporate governance and culture.
