BUSINESS INTEGRITY MISSIONS
We developed an assessment module, based on ISO37001, reviewing ethical charter and code of conduct preparation. It is meant to establish:
- Implementation of effective systems and controls to prevent and detect bribery and corruption, and to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations
- Training and awareness-raising programs for employees and suppliers on the risks of bribery and corruption, and the company’s policies and procedures for preventing and detecting them
- Conduct risk assessments and due diligence on suppliers and business partners to identify and manage potential risks of bribery and corruption
- Establish procedures for reporting and investigating suspected cases of bribery and corruption and take appropriate disciplinary or corrective action where necessary
- Ensure that gifts, hospitality, and other expenses provided to third parties are reasonable, proportionate, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations
ISO 37001 is an international standard that provides requirements and guidance for implementing an anti-bribery management system (ABMS).
A business ethics audit is designed to help companies promote ethical conduct in their business practices and supply chains.
By preparing and implementing effective policies and procedures related to business ethics, companies can enhance their reputation, demonstrate their commitment to ethical conduct to stakeholders, and reduce the risk of legal and reputational damage associated with unethical conduct.
