"We liked Visslan's good cooperation and customer service"

Holy Greens, with over 250 employees, operates salad bars from Sundsvall in the north of Sweden to Malmö in the south. Melissa Holmgren, HR and payroll administrator, tells us that the company wanted to offer whistleblowers a secure and reliable solution for whistleblowing. Here you can read more about how Holy Greens, together with Visslan, made this possible and what corporate culture means to them.

Why is corporate culture important for you?

Melissa believes that corporate culture and well-being go hand in hand:

"Holy Greens is about feeling good. Just as our salads are carefully composed to be sustainable and healthy for both the body and the climate, we follow the same vision and goals for our corporate culture."

Melissa further emphasizes that an important part of creating a healthy corporate culture is that whistleblowers can feel secure in their anonymity.

"It is incredibly important for us that there are secure channels to inform us if something is not right."

How did you want your whistleblowing solution to be designed? Why did you choose to implement a whistleblowing function?

Implementing a whistleblowing service is not just a way for many companies to improve corporate culture but also the smoothest way to comply with Swedish legislation. One of Holy Greens' requirements when choosing a system was compliance with the law.

"We needed a function that would comply with legal requirements, be secure, clear, and easy to use with guaranteed anonymity," says Melissa.

It can be complicated to independently build a function that meets all the requirements the law imposes on whistleblowing solutions. Holy Greens has chosen to collaborate with VICI, a partner of Visslan. Lawyers at the law firm VICI handle Holy Greens' initial case management and assist them in assessing whistleblower cases:

"An external recipient function became (...) the optimal solution for us to ensure objectivity and anonymity in incoming cases."

How was your experience with the collaboration with Visslan?

One reason Holy Greens chose Visslan's tool was that the system meets established requirements, and thanks to good cooperation and customer service.

"Structured, service- and solution-oriented, and, above all, quick responses and support when questions arose."

According to Melissa, Visslan's policy materials have also been useful for implementing the whistleblowing solution in the organization.

"It was a smooth implementation with good guidance from Visslan throughout the process."
