Trumpet is a complete whistleblowing solution, designed for organizations that want strong protection for those who choose to blow the whistle, a structured process for handling whistleblowing cases throughout the entire process, and access to experienced, objective advisers when the situation requires it.
Trumpet has been developed by Whitepaper Advisors, whose core business focuses on investigating wrongdoing and other complex issues that sometimes start with a whistleblowing report. The investigations we handle for our clients often contain very sensitive information, placing organizations in complex and challenging situations. Being in such situations can be stressful for the organizations concerned because the usual playing field is disrupted.
We understand the great responsibility involved in handling these sensitive matters, and the deep trust required for us to conduct investigations and whistleblowing cases for our clients. This is a responsibility we take extremely seriously.
Although there are several basic whistleblowing systems on the market that help organizations meet legal requirements, we realized there is a lack of providers offering a comprehensive whistleblowing solution that can also assist with in-depth investigations.
That is why we created Trumpet—a service designed to receive reports and support organizations throughout the entire whistleblowing process in a safe and efficient way.
“Whistleblowing is an effective safety valve that helps highlight and address important issues. It not only prevents wrongdoing in the short term, but can also help strengthen organizations in the long term. You just have to dare to work with the issues!”
David Carlsvi, founder of Trumpet
Whitepaper Advisors’ vision is to contribute to a well-functioning and sustainable business sector and society. We believe whistleblowing can be an important tool by encouraging openness, accountability, and fairness.
By working in these areas, whistleblowing functions can help uncover and prevent wrongdoing and misconduct in business and society, which in turn promotes sustainability, fairness, and accountability. These measures also help create profitable operations. Organizations that encourage honesty and transparency tend to build stronger relationships with various stakeholders, which can lead to increased customer loyalty, a better reputation, and thus greater market success. By preventing scandals, avoiding unnecessary compensation costs, and strengthening their brand, companies that actively work with whistleblowing can create value for organizations.
To encourage whistleblowing, laws and procedures must be in place to protect whistleblowers from workplace retaliation. This includes both legal protection and a support system to help those who raise the alarm.
Training on business ethics and the importance of whistleblowing can help employees understand their responsibility and the possible consequences of silence. This can also help create a culture that values honesty and fairness.
Companies and organizations should have clear and simple mechanisms for reporting wrongdoing. This can include anonymous reporting lines and an independent unit that handles cases.
Once an alert has been submitted, there must be a thorough investigation to determine the truth of the allegations. If wrongdoing is confirmed, responsible individuals or organizations must be held accountable.
Publishing the results of investigations and the measures taken can help build trust and show that the system works.
Business leaders and senior managers should lead by example by showing they take responsibility and value ethical behavior. This can spread throughout the organization.
Promoting a culture of whistleblowing and accountability is a long-term process. It requires continuous attention and adaptation to changing circumstances.

Simply put, Trumpet consists of two parts: the whistleblowing system and the handling of incoming reports.
A whistleblowing channel is a tool for employees and others to report wrongdoing in your organization.
The real value—both for the person reporting and for you as an organization—arises after a report has entered the system.
