An anti-bribery management system standard, currently under development.It is designed to help an organization establish, implement, maintain, and improve an anti-bribery compliance program or “management system.”It includes a series of measures and controls that represent global anti-corruption good practice.
The standard is flexible and can be adapted to a wide range of organizations, including:
Obtaining ISO 37001 certification could benefit companies in a number of different ways. Companies will be able to point to certification as a means of assuring their customers, business associates, and potential investors that they are taking reasonable steps to prevent bribery. Directors and officers similarly may look to certification as an affirmation that appropriate compliance measures are in place. For companies that are just beginning to branch out globally, the steps outlined in the draft Standard provide detailed guidance as to how a global anti-corruption compliance program might look.
