Corporate Whistleblowing

Corporate whistleblowing occurs when an employee or insider reports unethical or illegal activities within their organization, such as fraud, safety violations, or misconduct. It serves as a mechanism to hold companies accountable and prevent harm to stakeholders, including employees, customers, and the public. Whistleblowers often face risks like retaliation but play a crucial role in promoting transparency and integrity. Many organizations and laws now provide protections and channels for reporting concerns confidentially, encouraging individuals to speak up without fear of unfair treatment.
