Corruption and bribery

We never request, accept, offer, provide or authorise bribes of any kind, including facilitation payments. A bribe can take the form of gifts, entertainment, travel, signing bonuses, job offers, rebates or “kickbacks”, loans, fees, services, donations or favours

We’re careful to ensure we only work with business partners that share our commitment to ethical business practices and conduct

We ensure all gifts and entertainment are in good faith, occasional, reasonable and appropriate and that they are not given with the intent of influencing the recipient’s decision making or gaining an improper business advantage

We’re especially careful in our dealings with public officials to avoid any perception of bribery, including in the exchange of any gifts and entertainment with them

We don’t contribute to any political campaign, party, candidate or their affiliated organisations

We set realistic business objectives and do not expose our people to bribery and corruption risk by putting pressure on them to meet unrealistic targets or deadlines

We recognise colleagues who act with integrity and do not penalise them for losing business as a result
