Whistleblowing and whistleblower protection
In accordance with Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report infringements of Union law (the "Directive"), mediaport solutions, s.r.o., ("MEDISO") has delegated to the relevant persons to receive and investigate notifications of infringements (the "relevant persons").
The main objective of whistleblower protection is to enable the detection of unlawful conduct occurring in the workplace or in the course of work (or other similar) activities.
How can a notification be made?
A notification can be made through the company's internal notification system to the relevant person, or through an external notification system to the Ministry of Justice of the Czech Republic or published under the conditions set out in Section 7(1)(c) of the CPA.
The relevant person is the person, in our case the head of the HR department, who is designated by the company to receive and assess the reasonableness of a notification of a possible violation and who proposes (if the notification is reasonable) measures to remedy or prevent the violation.
In carrying out his/her activities, he/she shall always act impartially and shall be bound by confidentiality.
Notifications may be made through the internal notification system:
- in person, when meeting the person concerned, whereby an audio recording or a recording faithfully capturing the substance of the oral notification shall be made of the oral notification, either with the consent of the notifier, and the notifier shall be entitled to comment on the recording or transcript of the audio recording, if made,
- in writing to the appropriate person, such package to be marked "Confidential, for the hands of the appropriate person only" or other similar wording ("Do not open, whistleblowing", etc.), and the Company's employees shall not be entitled to open the envelope so marked and shall be required to hand it directly to the appropriate person,
- by e-mail sent to a special e-mail address of the person concerned, used exclusively for the purpose of reporting the whistleblowing, to which only the person concerned has access,
The notification must include the name and surname of the notifier, date of birth and contact details, a description of the case with all relevant information and, where possible, attach supporting documents to substantiate the allegations so that the validity of the notification can be properly assessed.
The Company does not exclude receiving a notification from a person who does not perform work or other similar activity for the Company as referred to in Section 2 (3) (a), (b), (h) or (i) of the CCA.
Only the competent persons who properly assess the validity of the notification shall be made aware of the notification.
The notification may also be made through an external notification system,
- by filing a notification with the Ministry of Justice of the Czech Republic (the method of filing a notification is published on the Ministry's website).
