Danish Decommissioning's

whistleblower scheme

On this page, you will find information about and a link to Danish Decommissioning's whistleblower scheme. Through the whistleblower scheme, employees and permanent partners can submit information about illegal or reprehensible conditions without fear of negative consequences.

Danish Decommissioning is affiliated with the State Whistleblower System (SWS), which is a central government whistleblower scheme for handling whistleblower reports. Information submitted to the Whistleblower Scheme must be provided directly through the SWS portal, a link to which can be found in the info box on this page. You can read more about the scheme and reporting options in the theme section on the Ministry of Justice's website.

When processing cases received via the whistleblower scheme, the general rules of the Public Administration Act concerning access to documents apply, as do the current privacy policies in this area. A link to Danish Decommissioning's privacy policy can be found in the info box.

Danish Decommissioning annually prepares a report on the calendar year's whistleblower activities. The reports are available under publications, and the latest report can also be found in the info box.

More information about the whistleblower scheme

Who is covered by the whistleblower scheme?

You can utilise the whistleblower scheme if you are currently or formerly employed by Danish Decommissioning, including unpaid interns, or if you are a collaborating partner (including subcontractors) or an employee of a collaborating partner with whom Danish Decommissioning has an ongoing cooperation.

Are you employed by Danish Decommissioning?

Please note that the whistleblower scheme serves as a supplement to the direct and daily communication concerning errors, unsatisfactory conditions, and other issues within the work environment. Consequently, problems should initially be addressed by contacting the immediate line manager, HR, union representatives, and work environment representatives.

Which matters are covered by the whistleblower scheme?

You can contact the whistleblower scheme regarding the following:

Violations of EU law
Criminal offenses
Violations of legislation
Violations of administrative law principles
Gross or repeated violations of essential internal guidelines
Serious personal conflicts in the workplace
Sexual harassment
Deliberate misleading of citizens and collaborating partners

You should always possess concrete knowledge or a well-founded suspicion that such serious matters have occurred before utilising the whistleblower scheme.

Anonymity and confidentiality

Danish Decommissioning has established an external whistleblower scheme, which allows for the anonymous submission of information regarding reprehensible conditions to a trusted whistleblower unit that can investigate the matters further. Through this system, you can engage in a follow-up dialogue with the whistleblower unit. This dialogue is also anonymous.

Danish Decommissioning's whistleblower unit is anchored within the Management Secretariat, and only the trusted case handlers from the whistleblower unit can access your report.

If you are not comfortable reporting directly to Danish Decommissioning, or if you doubt that your report will be handled objectively by our whistleblower unit, you can alternatively submit your report to the National Whistleblower Scheme administered by the Danish Data Protection Agency, which operates an independent whistleblower channel.

Case Handling and Communication

Your inquiry will be handled by trusted employees in our whistleblower unit. We may need to ask you questions to ensure that the case is sufficiently clarified for processing. We will only communicate with you via our digital whistleblower portal. Therefore, it is important that you follow the case by regularly logging in and responding to any questions from us.

Legal Protection against Reprisals

As a whistleblower, you are protected against reprisals under Act No. 1436 of 29/06/2021 – the Whistleblower Protection Act.
