Danmarks Nationalbank's whistleblower scheme is a confidential and independent channel where, among other parties, Danmarks Nationalbank's employees, Committee of Directors and Board of Directors as well as employees with the bank's suppliers and other partners can report certain breaches of EU law, serious criminal offences or other serious matters. This may, for example, be reporting of financial crime, breach of duty of confidentiality, sexual harassment or other serious harassment.
The whistleblower portal ensures that all reports are treated confidentially and within a secure framework. Reports can also be submitted anonymously.
The Danmarks Nationalbank has chosen to appoint an external and independent law firm, Lund Elmer Sandager, to receive and follow up on any reports submitted under the whistleblower scheme.
Breaches can be reported in writing and using the web form available on the whistleblower portal.
You can read more about Danmarks Nationalbank's whistleblower scheme and how reports are processed on the whistleblower portal and in the detailed guidance on Danmarks Nationalbank's whistleblower scheme.
Danmarks Nationalbank provides information on reports via the whistleblower scheme once a year in the bank's annual report, which is published in March.
The scheme has been in place since 2021. No reports have been received in 2021-2022. In 2023, Danmarks Nationalbank rejected an inquiry as it did not concern Danmarks Nationalbank's area of responsibility.
This page is updated annually in connection with the publication of the Bank's annual report in March.
