Research also revealed a third (34%) of businesses reported misconduct within their supply chains, highlighting internal and external malpractice.
MUNICH, DE / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2025 / Today, findings from the 2025 Whistleblowing Report were released, revealing almost half of all companies affected by misconduct were able to uncover a large share of the resulting financial losses, thanks to their whistleblower reporting system. A whistleblower, by definition, is an individual (typically, an employee) that reveals information about an organization's illegal or fraudulent activity. The research, which was published by EQS Group in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons, marks the fourth edition of this international study, with 2,200 companies surveyed across Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and the United States.
"The results show that whistleblowing channels play a key role in uncovering misconduct in organizations and their supply chains," says Professor Dr. Christian Hauser of the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons, who led the project. "Organizations with established systems are significantly more successful in limiting financial damage - clear evidence of the preventive effect of these instruments."
