Case Study: Kerry Group achieves global whistleblowing compliance and a single source of truth with NAVEX EthicsPoint

Kerry Group Sets Global Standards With EthicsPoint

Kerry Group, a global leader in taste and nutrition with 22,000+ employees, needed a scalable speak-up program that met the new EU Whistleblower Protection Directive and worked across functions, languages and regions. The company faced limited visibility into case progress, the need for multilingual resources, and the challenge of quickly reorganizing teams to manage a centralized reporting system.

Kerry leveraged NAVEX EthicsPoint to establish the Directive’s baseline requirements, created a speak-up playbook for cross-functional case management, and put board-level oversight and regional legal owners in place. The result is a single source of truth—incident-management reporting in 26 languages, global training and communications, and analytics-driven reporting to track issue types, responsiveness and regional priorities.
