With 2024 just around the corner, we decided to share the year's achievements with you in the good old-fashioned way. Today you will refresh your memory of what we have done this year and discover many new things that have been going on behind the scenes throughout the year.
2024 has been a year of hard work, growth, and excitement for our team. So please make yourself comfortable and let's dive into the brightest and most important moments of the year together!
In 2024, Ethicontrol expanded its operations to all five continents—Eurasia, North and South America, Africa, and Australia. This was a major step in scaling our work globally, requiring adjustments to diverse legal environments and business cultures.
Key impact in 2024:
This expansion builds on work started in 2023 in the UAE, Tanzania, and across Europe.
To support users globally, our platform now operates in over 70 languages, with recent additions like Khmer, Bengali, Dari, and Tajik.
Our contact center expanded to 8+ new locations, including Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Saudi Arabia, the US, Latin America, and France. These teams provide direct support in multiple languages.
By 2024, over 100,000 additional employees gained access to our platform, strengthening whistleblower protections and compliance processes worldwide.
This year, we actively contributed to major industry discussions on compliance, governance, and ethics. Here are some of the highlights:
We also introduced new merch to make our presence at events more engaging and memorable.
A key milestone this year was Ethicontrol’s inclusion in the RegTech category of the Ukrainian Fintech Catalogue. This recognition reflects the trust in our solutions and our role in advancing regulatory technology.
These events and milestones reaffirm our commitment to strengthening compliance and corporate governance.
While the scope of compliance is expanding, it is clear that whistleblower protection remains a critical issue. This year, we highlighted the tragic case of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, emphasising the risks faced by individuals who expose corporate misconduct. In addition, there was a notable instance of a whistleblower relating to OpenAI's internal practices.
In 2024, a key trend emerged: compliance and business ethics are no longer seen as purely technical or serious issues. Instead, they’re being recognized for their potential to be engaging and relatable. As companies prioritize building ethical, accountable cultures, there’s a growing focus on making compliance more accessible—using humour, interactive content, and creative communication strategies to make ethics training more appealing.
Looking ahead to 2025, the ethics and compliance landscape is set for further evolution. The tragic losses of whistleblowers like Barnett and the OpenAI case highlight the high stakes and the vital role of ethics in corporate success. Organizations must remain vigilant, protecting whistleblowers, fostering transparency, and strengthening accountability.
We made significant strides in improving our platform, introducing innovative features designed to enhance functionality and user experience. Not only did we incorporate new capabilities, but we also refined the design for a more intuitive interface.
Managing cases effectively requires flexibility and precision, which is why we have introduced the ability to assign due dates to cases. This feature allows you to easily modify case deadlines when additional time is needed to process a case.
By keeping your timelines up to date, you can ensure that your analytics remain accurate and reflect healthy case management practices.
We’ve made it easier to share important documents securely with reporters. This new functionality supports better communication and collaboration, ensuring that reporters have access to the necessary information for effective case resolution.
We added the function of pseudonymisation to ensure privacy and comply with local laws. You can learn more about this feature here.
This feature reduces the risk of incomplete or incorrect submissions by offering a chance to confirm and refine their entries. It enhances user confidence and satisfaction by providing control over the final content of their report.
As we head into 2025, we remain focused on driving transparency, empowering businesses, and protecting integrity. Thank you for being part of this journey—greater milestones await!
