What is a whistleblower?
A whistleblower is a person who leaks information, historically speaking often to the press, in order to reveal irregularities in an organisation.
A revolutionary phenomenon
The phenomenon of whistleblowing has for the past few years gotten great media attention in cases like Edward Snowden. Campaigns such as #metoo have kept the spotlight on unjust actions that can not be tolerated. Sweden has reinforced its laws to protect whistleblowers. Whistleblowing has become an important tool to create a sustainable corporation as well as society.
The strengths of whistleblowing

The phone service is completely anonymous – the number is not saved and there are no digital traces. - The Whistleblower receives a case number that he or she can use when calling WH!BLER to obtain updates on how the case is being handled or to leave additional information.
- WH!BLER’s independent personell assess the case within 24 hours, starting when the report is completed. The assessment determines whether the case describes a serious misconduct according to Swedish law and/or the company’s values.
- If the report indicates serious misconduct, WH!BLER’s independent personell will initiate an investigation and will report as needed to Swedish authorities and/or the company management.
- If the report shows no serious misconduct the report is directly sent back to the company for internal actions and measures.
