Service Details:

By implementing and certifying your Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS), you can mitigate bribery risks, meet legislative requirements and create a company culture of integrity. Designed to be integrated into your organization's existing management processes and controls, ISO 37001 also follows the common ISO structure for management system standards, for easy integration with ISO 9001 for example.

The requirements specified by ISO 37001 address two key areas:

• Bribery by the organization, its personnel or business associates for its own gain
• Bribery of the organization, its personnel or business associates in relation to its activities.

• Corporate commitment to exemplary business ethics is a critical part of any reputable and successful organization. Trust is a powerful tool to build and maintain a positive image with business partners and authorities, as well as consumer confidence.

The ISO 37001:2016 international standard can be applied to distinguish and protect a wide range of organizations of all sizes in both public and private sectors around the world.

  Certification according to ISO 37001 proves your responsible approach to ensure ethical business practices and procedures throughout your organization to gain trust and confidence throughout your entire value chain as well as strengthen your brand in competitive markets.
