All You Need to Know About ISO 37001: Anti-Bribery Management System

Posted by certification consultancy on October 28th, 2023

The ISO 37001 standard is only relevant to bribery, and it describes the management system standards that will help you avoid, identify, and respond to bribery, as well as adhere to applicable anti-bribery laws and voluntary commitments. The basis of any organization's credibility is openness and trust. Bribery is the single greatest danger to ethical business practices, which is why ISO 37001 was developed. Bribery and corruption cost more than a trillion dollars each year, and ISO 37001 provides a framework for combating bribery by establishing an anti-bribery policy, conducting risk assessments, and conducting due diligence on all projects and business partners.

Additional features such as fraud or money laundering may be covered by the management system by existing laws and best practices. Bribery committed by an organization, its employees, or business partners while working on behalf of or for the benefit of the organization is covered by ISO 37001, as is bribery committed by an organization, its employees, or business partners in connection with an organization's operations.
