• Example 1 is not available anymore
• Examples 2, 4 and 5 are from public institutions. It is not clear to me if in example 2 the “service” is “GOV.UK” or the government of the United Kingdom.

In the case of Whirlpool, they also have a global Integrity manual, but only the French version seems to be specific to whistleblowing, due to the Sapin II law.
Similarly, I can find the French version of a whistleblower policy for Pierre Bleue Belge, but not an English version, even though their website is otherwise translated in English and Dutch.
