Anti Bribery Commitment

It is our policy to carry out business fairly, honestly and openly. As such we have a zero tolerance approach towards bribery in any part of our operation. Bribery is defined as a promise offer or gift (financial or otherwise) to bring about the improper performance of a function or activity. Examples of this would be offering a potential client a gift such as a weekend away on the condition they do business with us, or a client offering you a gift on the basis you will reduce the price of our service to them. To meet this commitment we have the following systems in place to counter bribery:

·      A clear entertainment and expenses policy that sets out that only reasonable hospitality, entertaining and gift giving expenses will be accommodated by us and this should not induce either party to contract.

·      All new Colleagues will receive training on what constitutes bribery and further refresher training is provided so that all employees can recognise potential breaches.

·      A whistleblowing policy is in place and If you are concerned that bribery has occurred, may occur or is likely to occur we would encourage you to report your concerns.

If you suspect or if you are asked to accept or offer a bribe you must report this immediately to your line manager.



We value a proactive anti-bribery stance by any Colleague.

As we take our obligations to prevent bribery being committed very seriously, any breach of our anti-bribery policy or procedures will be considered to be gross misconduct and may result in your dismissal. Where you have been involved in or suspected of involvement in bribery that is not connected with us, this may still affect your suitability for on-going employment with us.
