Whistleblowing Hotline

Safeguard your staff and business

Established in 1995, Expolink is Europe’s whistleblowing hotline market leader. We are proud to be the first outsourced whistleblowing service in the UK and Europe. Our global helpline supports over 20% of FTSE 100 companies, many FTSE 250 companies, Fortune 500 companies, local authorities, government departments, police forces, retail organisations, charities and multi-national corporates of all sizes, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We work in partnership with our clients, advising on whistleblowing policy and legislation and acting as a deterrent against inappropriate and criminal behaviour; giving company leaders the information they need to take rapid, remedial action.

With Expolink’s whistleblowing hotline service you will benefit from:

• Anonymity and confidentiality assured from professional, legislative-compliant staff.
• A reporting system managed by real people, not impersonal automation.
• Personalised and simple services designed to meet the unique needs of your organisation.
• Total security – we report only to authorised recipients and our procedures are vigilant.
• A UK-based whistleblowing service ensuring compliance with EU data protection laws.
• Compliance with the UK Bribery Act (as per advice from Ministry of Justice) as well as all the latest laws and legislation relating to whistleblowing policy and corporate governance.
• Service is extended free of charge to suppliers, clients and third parties (in some cases to employee’s families).
• Management reports supplied monthly showing call analyses and trends over a rolling year including bench-marking data.

Our whistleblowing procedure 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 early next year.

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 service.
