Our whistleblowing hotline service has been refined and enhanced as Government legislation and the whistleblowing needs of our clients have matured. Our approach is truly global and our knowledge of ethical business practices and international whistleblowing legislation makes us leading industry experts. We continually strive to stay ahead of the industry curve, which is reflected in our standing within the international corporate governance community. In 2010 Expolink were the only corporate governance organisation to host a seminar on the Bribery Act, where Roderick Macaulay of the Ministry of Justice presented to our business community about issues relating to the imminent legislation. We are preparing for a second seminar, also to be held in conjunction with the MoJ in 2013. If you are interested in attending this free event please contact Scott Bridgen.

Expolink is a truly global corporate governance solutions provider. We are experts in understanding EU reporting restrictions and privacy law relating to whistleblowing. Although the US was an early advocate of whistleblowing policy in the late 80s, the advent of the FCPA and revised Dodd Frank regulations meant our knowledge, expertise and commitment to data protocol and privacy attracted many native US companies to use Expolink’s whistleblowing hotline service.

Contact us today to find out how our whistleblowing hotline can help you protect your business. You can also find out what our clients say about our services and read how we helped Centrica and The Co-operative Group in our case studies.
