Everything you need to know about the plan to implement new whistleblowing legislation in Portugal

Portugal - 

Portugal Commentary

By June 18, 2022, companies (whether public or private) and public entities, especially those employing 50 or more workers, are obliged to implement a whistleblowing channel so that workers, shareholders, members of corporate bodies, service providers, suppliers and other reporting parties, including within the context of a professional relationship that has since ended, might report breaches of the legislation referring to various areas. 

In the sense of providing companies with legal support in the process for implementing this new legal obligation, through the establishment of a channel and procedures for internal complaints, Garrigues has organized a multidisciplinary team, with all the skills needed for analyzing the most relevant aspects of the business reality of its clients, advising on the creation of a reporting channel and preparing all the documents and procedures needed for this operation.

Here is a summary of the main questions arising from the Whistleblowing regulation and on how companies can implement the measures introduced by the new law.
