Whistleblower
Whistleblowing refers to when an individual reports a censurable condition related to an organization’s operations. This can include not only employees but also hired workers, suppliers, contractors, or other external parties connected to the organization.
Everyone whether employees, hired workers, suppliers, or external parties, has the right to report censurable conditions they become aware of in relation to the organization’s activities.
Censurable conditions refer to:
- Violations of laws and regulations (legal rules)
- Breaches of the company’s internal, written ethical guidelines
- Violations of ethical norms that are widely recognized in society
A whistleblowing report is the actual notification regarding a censurable condition.
How to prepare and submit a report on unacceptable conditions
Prepare concrete and clear Information:
- Describe what happened: Be specific about events, dates, people involved, and the consequences.
- Documentation: Gather relevant evidence, such as emails, messages, photos, reports, or other supporting materials.
- Objectivity: Stick to the facts and avoid speculations or assumptions.
If you are an employee of KTV Working Drone, follow internal reporting procedures:
- Check your company’s guidelines: Find out if your organization has a specific procedure for reporting concerns, and follow it if it complies with whistleblowing regulations.
- Use the right channels: Report to your immediate supervisor, HR, a safety representative, or another person responsible for handling such matters. If this is not safe, consider external reporting channels.
What is the difference between a whistleblowing report and a complaint?
Whistleblowing occurs when an employee, contracted worker, supplier, or external party reports an unacceptable condition related to an organization’s operations. An unacceptable condition is defined as a violation of laws and regulations, a breach of the company’s written ethical guidelines, or a violation of widely accepted ethical norms in society.
It does not matter what the report is called or how it is categorized (such as a deviation, complaint, concern, report, etc.). It is the content of the report and the nature of the issue that determine whether it qualifies as whistleblowing.
A complaint is when an individual whether an employee or external party expresses dissatisfaction with something, but it does not necessarily involve an unacceptable condition. The content of the complaint will determine whether it constitutes whistleblowing. For example, it may turn out that what is being complained about is actually a legal violation or a breach of the company’s internal ethical guidelines.
If someone files a complaint about an issue that is later revealed to be a legal violation or ethical breach, it qualifies as a whistleblowing report.
