Bribery & Corruption Prevention reviews the systems a company puts in place to detect, deter and respond to all forms of improper advantage - bribes, facilitation payments, kickbacks, embezzlement, bid-rigging, extortion and conflicts of interest - across its own operations and entire value chain. It encompasses:

• adoption of a zero-tolerance policy that aligns with leading statutes and norms (e.g., OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, U.S. FCPA, U.K. Bribery Act, EU directives);
risk assessments covering countries, business units, transactions and third parties (agents, distributors, joint-venture partners);internal-control framework - segregation of duties, approval limits, gifts & hospitality registers, cash-payment prohibitions, charitable-donation vetting, books-and-records accuracy;third-party due diligence and contractual clauses mandating ethical conduct, audit rights and termination for violations;comprehensive training and communication for directors, employees and high-risk business partners;secure whistle-blower channels, investigation protocols and disciplinary measures, plus periodic monitoring, auditing and executive/board oversight;public disclosure of programme governance, incidents and enforcement actions, consistent with frameworks such as GRI 205-1/2/3, ISO 37001 and EU ESRS G1.
