We launched ithikios, the saas reporting channel for SMEs

In the next two years, around 25,000 companies will have to implement an anonymous complaints channel to comply with the new European directive 2019/1937 for the protection of the whistleblower  ( DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/1937 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL ).

Companies with more than 250 employees or € 10 million in turnover, as well as city councils of municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants, must have the channel in place before the end of 2021 , which is when the directive should be transposed. Companies with more than 50 employees, a priori, will have a couple more years to implement it.

It is the concept of police applied to the business and public administration environment, to monitor so that irregularities are not carried out, being the police the people who can identify them.
