Transparency and trust are the building blocks of any organization’s credibility. Nothing undermines effective institutions and equitable business more than bribery.

ISO 37001:2016 is the International Standard that allows organizations of all types to prevent, detect and address bribery by adopting an anti-bribery policy, appointing a person to oversee anti-bribery compliance, training, risk assessments and due diligence on projects and business associates, implementing financial and commercial controls, and instituting reporting and investigation procedures.

ISO 37001:2016 can be used by any organization, large or small, whether it be in the public, private or voluntary sector and in any country. It is a flexible tool, which can be adapted according to the size and nature of the organization and the bribery risk it faces.

• Minimum requirements and supporting guidance for implementing or benchmarking an anti-bribery management system
• Assurance to management, investors, employees, customers, and other stakeholders that an organization is taking reasonable steps to prevent bribery
• Evidence in the event of an investigation that an organization has taken reasonable steps to prevent bribery.
