Anti- Bribery & Corruption

 

Why?

Bribery and corruption damages society and weakens trust. It is also irresponsible, wrong and makes no business sense!

Our Commitments

 

  • We recognize corruption as the abuse of authority and bribery as the giving or receiving of anything of value to improperly influence a business decision or government action and we will always pro-actively work against any corrupt business practices
  • We have zero tolerance for any form of bribery or corruption in our business dealings and expect the same standards from our business partners
  • We perform the necessary compliance due diligence on our business partners to support our zero-tolerance position
  • We do not tolerate suppliers, customers or other business partners offering bribes related to our business and we will take action if such activities are discovered
  • We recognize gifts, entertainment, sponsorships and donations can carry bribery risks and we follow our Standards and relevant guidance to manage these risks
  • We never allow commercial pressure to weaken our zero tolerance for bribery and corruption

Your Role

  • Do not offer or accept anything of value to improperly influence a business decision or government action – this is bribery anywhere in the world
  • Follow our Gifts & Hospitality Handbook and our Anti-Corruption Standard
  • Ask your manager, Legal or the Compliance team if you have any questions
  • Take extra care when working with any kind of Government Officials, and if in doubt pause and speak with a member of the Legal team
  • Know that common local practices are never an excuse for corrupt business practices – always follow our zero-tolerance commitment

Always Remember

Bribery and corruption weakens society and trust in business and its leaders. We must stay focused on our zero tolerance commitment, always.
