Anti-Corruption

Why?

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

Our Commitments

  • We recognize corruption as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain.
  • We recognize bribery as offering, promising, giving, accepting, or soliciting an advantage or anything else of value as an inducement for action.
  • We proactively work to prevent 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 risk-based integrity due diligence on third parties to support our zero-tolerance position.
  • We do not tolerate suppliers, customers or other business partners offering bribes related to our business and will take action if such activities are discovered.
  • We recognize that gifts, hospitality, sponsorships and donations can carry bribery risks and we follow our Standards and guidance to manage these risks.
  • We never allow commercial pressure to compromise our integrity.

Your Role

  • Never offer, promise, give, or accept anything of value to improperly influence a business decision or government action – this is considered bribery everywhere in the world.
  • Follow our Anti-Corruption Policy and the guidance on gifts, hospitality, sponsorships and donations provided by Autoliv.
  • Ask your manager, Legal or the Compliance team if you have any questions.
  • Take extra care when interacting with public officials. If in doubt, pause and seek advice from Legal or Compliance. 
  • Remember: local customs or “it’s just how business is done” are never an excuse for corrupt practices.
  • Report any suspected bribery or corruption immediately through the Compliance team or the Autoliv Helpline.

Always Remember

Bribery and corruption weakens society and trust in businesses and their leaders. We must always stay focused on our zero-tolerance commitment.
