Exposing Environmental Wrongdoing: A Whistleblower's Guide

Provided by Protect UK

Practical guidance on how to raise environmental concerns in the workplace, and how to protect yourself when you do.

Protect's Environmental Whistleblowing Toolkit is a practical legal guide for anyone considering raising environmental concerns in the workplace. Developed with trade unions, lawyers, NGOs, and journalists, it walks you through how to speak up safely and effectively, covering what qualifies as an environmental concern, where and how to raise it, and what legal protections may apply to you.

Pollution, greenwashing, and environmental crime don't stop unless someone speaks up. Whistleblowers are often the first, and only, people in a position to expose wrongdoing and hold organizations accountable for their environmental impact.

If you are thinking about raising a concern, this toolkit is a strong starting point. As whistleblowing carries real risks, we recommend using it alongside secure reporting tools and seeking independent advice before taking action.
