ISO 37001:2016 Anti-bribery Management System

Brief Description

From the 2nd of August 2021, our company becomes the owner of ISO 37001:2016 standard which aims to help an organization implement an effective anti-bribery management system. It provides our company with guidance on implementing anti-bribery measures, depending on the type, the size, the nature and extent of the bribery risk our company may faces.

Detailed Description

Certification and implementation of ISO 37001 does not eliminate the risk of bribery, but it is certainly a major step in combating it.

Some of the main points the standard focuses on are:

• Application of the appropriate vetting of the organization’s personnel, with the aim of compliance with the anti-bribery policy and the ABMS.
• Training of personnel in accordance with the anti-bribery policy and the ABMS.
• Application of appropriate security fail-safes for reducing the risk of bribery.
• Implementation of the appropriate measures for auditing procurements, commercial and other non-financial transactions in order to reduce the risk of bribery.
• Controls of gifts, hospitality, donations and other benefits, with the aim of averting their use for bribery purposes.

Following the ANNEX SL structure, ISO 37001:2016 can be combined during application or certification with other standards that follow the same structure handling by our company , such as ISO 9001 and ISO 27001.
