What is ISO 37001 certification?
ISO 37001 is the international standard for anti-bribery management systems. It provides a framework for organisations to assess their internal anti-corruption processes and address any weaknesses. Any organisation benefits from ISO 37001 assessments, but it may be particularly beneficial for those working where bribery is a known risk-factor. As ISO 37001 certification becomes an industry benchmark for a company’s approach to bribery, a growing number of organisations are choosing TÜV SÜD audits.
ISO 37001 standards cover a range of scenarios where bribery may occur:
- Directly by the organisation
- By employees acting on the organisation’s behalf
- Through intermediaries
- Third parties bribing the organisation
- Third parties bribing the organisation’s employees
The ISO 37001 standards specify a series of measures that help your organisation to prevent, detect and address bribery. Its focus on prevention helps businesses mitigate the risk of bribery throughout their own operations and across value chains. The ISO 37001 standard promotes a culture of transparency and integrity, and the expansion of effective measures to prevent and tackle problems.
