MOTRINDE, S.A. ensures compliance with the General Regime for the Protection of Whistleblowers, under the provisions of Law no. 93/2021, of December 20, ensuring all legal regulations.
Acts of retaliation against the whistleblower are strictly forbidden, meaning any act or omission that, directly or indirectly, occurring in a professional context and motivated by an internal or external complaint or public disclosure, causes or may cause the whistleblower, in an unjustified manner, patrimonial or non-patrimonial damage. Attempts and threats to do so are also prohibited by law.
Whistleblowers, as well as those who help them, are entitled to legal protection under the law and also generally benefit from measures to protect witnesses in criminal proceedings.
In addition, the Directorate-General for Justice Policy provides information on the protection of whistleblowers on the Justice Portal, without prejudice to the mechanisms for access to the law and the courts.
