Whistleblower notification
De nieuwe wet is van toepassing op iedere persoon die in een professionele context een inbreuk vaststelt of redelijke vermoedens heeft dat er een inbreuk is of zal plaatsvinden die onder het materieel toepassingsgebied van de Klokkenluiderswet valt (zoals hierna bepaald), en die hiervan melding wenst te maken.
Belgian Cycling Factory hecht veel waarde aan de principes van deze klokkenluiderswetgeving en maakt haar intern meldkanaal daarom niet alleen toegankelijk voor haar werknemers, maar ook voor andere personen die in een andere hoedanigheid informatie over inbreuken die onder het toepassingsgebied van de Klokkenluiderswet vallen, hebben verkregen. Meldingen kunnen gebeuren via onderstaand formulier.
