Ethics and whistleblowing channel

The channel people actually use.

A safe place for anyone to report what they saw or experienced, without saying who they are, in three steps from their phone. Open to workers and third parties. And a clear dashboard for the ethics committee to investigate on time.

Anonymous, if they wishOnly the committee reads itCompliant with Law 14,457/2022

What the law requires

Having a channel is no longer optional.

Brazilian Law 14,457/2022 requires companies that have a CIPA (the internal accident-prevention committee mandatory in Brazil) to adopt measures to prevent and fight sexual harassment and other forms of violence at work. The reporting channel is at the core of them, and existing is not enough: people must trust it to use it.

Law 14,457 of September 21, 2022, art. 23. Official text at planalto.gov.br.

  1. Rules of conducton sexual harassment and other forms of violence, communicated to everyone.
  2. Receiving and following up on reportsinvestigating the facts and applying sanctions, with the reporter's anonymity guaranteed. This is where Escuta Ética comes in.
  3. The topic within the CIPAharassment prevention in the committee's activities and practices.
  4. Trainingguidance and awareness for everyone, at least every twelve months.
Equal payLaw 14,611/2023 requires specific channels for reports of pay discrimination.
Compliance programDecree 11,129/2022 (Brazil's anti-corruption regulation) assesses whether reporting channels are open, publicized and protect good-faith reporters.
International reference: ISO 37002The international standard for whistleblowing management rests on trust, impartiality and protection, and organizes the path into receiving, assessing, addressing and concluding. Escuta Ética was designed on those principles. ISO 37002 is a guidance standard with no certification: the system provides the tools, and each company adopts its own management.

How it works

Three steps, no sign-up, on any phone or computer.

Every screen was designed for someone who needs to tell something difficult, often in a hurry and not at ease with technology. The simpler it is to report, the sooner the ethics committee can act, before the problem grows.

1

What happened

The person picks the type of situation from a plain-language list: harassment, discrimination, fraud, safety risk and others.

2

Where and who

Site, department, when it happened, who was involved and who else saw it. All optional, with hints on what helps the committee.

3

The report

In writing or by audio, with a disguised voice if they wish. At the end they get a code to follow up and reply to the committee.

It takes about five minutes. Works on any phone, through the channel link or the QR code on the site poster.

What sets us apart

Built by people who know.

More than 20 years in employment law on the employer side, running trainings and sitting on the ethics committees of many companies. Escuta Ética brings that experience together: we know what a committee needs day to day and where a poorly designed channel becomes a problem, whether it is the report that reaches the very person accused, the deadline that expires unnoticed, or the investigation that does not hold up.

Those named do not receive it

Before delivering a report, the system checks whether it mentions any committee member, by name, a similar name, a nickname or their department. Anyone who appears is left out of the case and is not even notified.

Not even we can read it

The report is sealed on the reporter's own phone and only opens on the computers of that case's committee members. The server keeps a closed envelope.

Disguised voice

Those who prefer to speak record up to five minutes of audio. The voice is altered on the device itself before it leaves, and the person hears exactly what the committee will hear.

Deadlines that never lapse silently

Acknowledge receipt, triage, reply, conclude: each stage has a deadline, in calendar or business days, which becomes a reminder in the dashboard and in each member's calendar.

Investigations with legal templates

Opening minutes, witness invitation, interview record, precautionary leave and final report, in short and full versions, drafted by lawyers.

An alert, not a tracker

When several reports come from the same source, the committee is alerted to read them together, without revealing who reported. It helps tell serious reports from abuse, without exposing anyone.

Who it is for

Two audiences, two experiences.

For the reporter

Care first, form second.

  • Open to anyone: workers and third parties, such as contractors, suppliers and customers.
  • Can be anonymous. Name, e-mail and phone are optional.
  • In Portuguese, English and Spanish, in the language of the reporter's phone.
  • A code to come back to follow the case, answer questions and send evidence.
  • Quick-exit button that closes the channel instantly if someone comes near.
  • Photos lose location and device data before being sent.
  • Knows the deadline by which the committee intends to conclude.
For the ethics committee

A dashboard that tells you what to do today.

  • The Today screen: what is due, what has no owner, what is awaiting a reply.
  • The case as a timeline, where messages to the reporter and internal notes can never be confused.
  • Committees by topic, with alternates and an external backstop for when everyone is conflicted.
  • Discreet mode that blurs the text for anyone walking behind your chair.
  • Metrics that identify no one for the board and the CIPA.

Security and LGPD

Confidential by design, not by promise.

End-to-end encryption, to the standard used by banks and messaging apps. The report content never passes readable through any server, not even ours.

Access logs are kept for the period required by Brazil's Internet Civil Framework (Marco Civil), under confidentiality, and are only disclosed by court order. The client company never receives them.

1
Sealed on the phoneThe report is encrypted on the reporter's device before it leaves.
2
Stored closedThe server receives an envelope it cannot open.
3
Opened only by the case committeeEach member has their own key, protected by their password. Anyone with a conflict does not hold the key to that case.
4
Everything loggedWho opened what, when, and what they did stays in a log that cannot be erased.

Frequently asked questions

What companies ask.

Can the company find out who made the report?

Not through the channel. People can report without identifying themselves, and the content is sealed for the case committee only. Like any internet service, we keep access logs for the period required by Brazilian law (Marco Civil), under confidentiality, and they are only disclosed by court order. The company does not receive them.

Who can make a report?

Anyone who saw or experienced the situation: the company's workers, including those who have left, and third parties such as contractors, suppliers, customers and the community. Decree 11,129/2022 assesses precisely whether the channel is open to workers and third parties. The channel requires no employment link and no sign-up.

What if the report is about a committee member?

The system checks the report before delivering it. Anyone named, by name, a similar name, a nickname or their department, receives neither the report nor the notice. If the whole committee is conflicted, the case goes to the alternate committee and, last, to an external backstop.

Does anything need to be installed?

No. The channel opens in the browser of any phone or computer, through the link or the QR code. The committee also uses the dashboard in the browser.

How does the reporter follow up?

On sending, the person gets a code. With it they return to the channel to see progress, answer the committee's questions and send new evidence, without ever identifying themselves.

What about false or bad-faith reports?

Before sending, the channel reminds people that reports must be made in good faith. The committee is alerted when several reports come from the same source, so it can read them together. And investigations follow a fair process in which the accused is heard, using the templates that come with the system.

Who configures the channel at the company?

An administrator appointed by the company, on a single screen: logo, color, committees, categories, deadlines and outreach. Whoever configures it does not read reports, unless they are also a committee member.

Does it work for a group of companies?

Yes. The Group plan brings several companies and sites into one contract, each with its own channel or sharing one, as you prefer.
