Whistleblower
A natural person who reports or discloses, without direct financial compensation and in good faith, information about a crime, an offence, a breach of law, or a threat or harm to the public interest. The French Act of 21 March 2022, transposing Directive (EU) 2019/1937, strengthens their protection and requires an internal reporting procedure in entities with at least 50 employees.
