The law segments by size. So do we.
The EU Whistleblower Directive draws its lines at 50 and 250 employees, and treats every legal entity separately. Find your situation below, and what Neo looks like in it.
Voluntary, and ahead of the curve
The directive doesn't oblige you yet, but a reporting channel is increasingly asked for in tenders, certifications and by larger clients. Neo S gives you a compliant channel at the smallest tier, and you're ready the day you cross 50.
See Neo SThe mandatory band
Since 17 December 2023, every EU company in this band must run an internal reporting channel. Neo M is sized for exactly this obligation: channel, case handling and statutory deadlines, live the same day, without an IT project.
See Neo MExtra obligations, extra structure
Larger organisations must accept anonymous reports in Belgium and typically need more languages, more case handlers and internal reporting lines that match their structure. Neo E is quoted to fit, including assisted onboarding.
Talk to an advisorOne group, several entities
Each legal entity in the mandatory band needs its own channel; sharing one central mailbox is exactly what the directive moved away from. Neo E provisions a channel per entity with consistent branding and a group-level view for compliance.
Talk to an advisorBelfort as your external report recipient
The law expects a named, impartial case handler with no conflict of interest. In smaller organisations that person is hard to find, because HR knows everyone. Belfort receives, triages and follows up on reports on your behalf, from €150/month on any tier.
Ask about case handlingInvestigations under legal privilege
Some reports end in an internal investigation. Sister firm Belfort Law runs internal investigations and digital forensics under legal privilege, so what you uncover stays protected while you act on it.
