ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management System

ISO 37001 ANTI-BRIBERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Investors, business partners, employees, and shareholders all need assurance that management is making every effort to prevent misconduct at every level of the organization. The ISO 37001 standard is designed to help organizations implement and maintain a proactive anti-corruption and anti-bribery management system.

While bribery and corruption constitute significant barriers to international trade on a global scale, they also have a highly negative impact on employee morale within organizations. When a company is competent in preventing and detecting bribery, the risk of improper conduct is reduced, and if such risks do occur, they can be identified and managed at much earlier stages compared to other organizations.
An anti-bribery management system is designed to embed an anti-bribery culture within an organization and to increase the ability to recognize how bribery may arise by implementing appropriate controls, thereby reducing its impact from the outset.
