Whistleblowers protection already in place
Estonia doesn’t have a comprehensive whistleblowing protection law in place.
Some laws have provisions relevant to whistleblowing such as the Anti-Corrutpion Act 2012, the Penal Code and the Witness Protection Act.
Current implementation status
After a long period of discussion and revision, the Parliament (Riigikogu) adopted the new Whistleblowing Act on May 15, 2024.
The law came into force, having been approved by the President, on May 23, 2024.
New Requirements
- Establishing an internal reporting system for all organizations with 50 or more employees by January 2025
- Designating a person responsible for receiving reports, dealing with whistleblowers, and meeting the deadlines imposed by the new law regarding notifications. The internal reporting system can be managed by a third party
- A single group-wide whistleblowing solution is permitted
