Whistleblowing

What is "Whistleblowing" or "Protection of Whistleblowers"

Whistleblowing is a term used to describe an act where an individual, known as the whistleblower, alerts their employer of unlawful or unfair practices. This act could have been committed by someone at the workplace (an employee) or another person in connection with their duties for the employer. According to the Whistleblower Protection Act No. 171/2023 (the "Act"), the company Vizocargo s.r.o., ID: 26966395, located at Lutonina 11, 763 12 Lutonina, is required from 1.8.2023 to establish an internal reporting system for unlawful practices. Whistleblowing is of fundamental importance to our company as it helps us uncover dishonest activities or suspicions thereof. It protects our values and contributes to greater transparency, responsibility, and ethics in the corporate environment. Through whistleblowing, issues and inappropriate behaviors can be discovered and addressed, providing our organization the opportunity to manage all identified risks. Moreover, this system ensures the whistleblower's anonymity and prevents any possible retaliatory measures.
