At Norlund A/S, we have chosen to introduce a whistleblower scheme, although this is not legally required for SMV companies of our size – under 50 employees. We have done this to support our work with ESG and as part of our work with the 10 principles under membership of the UN Global Compact, in which the whistleblower programme is part of good management/good governance.
A whistleblower scheme is simply about us as a company being able to give our employees, external business partners, board of directors, independent contractors, shareholders, volunteers, interns, people whose labour relations have not begun, etc. a safe channel that they can use to report unethical incidents such as harassment, financial fraud, conflict of interest and the like.
The enquiry can be made by name or anonymously and is handled confidentially through our lawyer and a whistleblower unit within the company.

The whistleblower scheme is a supplement to the opportunities to talk to your manager, HR unit or union representative if you experience criminal offences or other serious matters in the area.
Directly translated from English, whistleblower means ‘whistle blower’.
It can potentially jeopardise the person’s reputation in the company. In this way, whistleblowing is a balancing act between loyalty to the workplace and responsibility to the law.
