Here is an outline

An Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy is a set of guidelines and procedures designed to prevent bribery and corruption within an organization. The policy is put in place to ensure that all employees and associates of the organization are aware of their responsibilities to uphold ethical behavior and avoid any activities that could lead to corruption.

The policy typically includes the following elements:

  1. Commitment to compliance: The policy sets out the organization’s commitment to compliance with anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations.
  2. Prohibition of bribery and corruption: The policy clearly prohibits any form of bribery or corruption, including both giving and receiving bribes.
  3. Definitions: The policy defines key terms such as bribery, corruption, and facilitation payments, to ensure that everyone understands what is meant by these terms.
  4. Due diligence: The policy requires that the organization conduct due diligence on third-party partners and associates to ensure that they are not involved in any corrupt activities.
  5. Gifts, hospitality, and expenses: The policy provides guidance on how to handle gifts, hospitality, and expenses to avoid any perception of impropriety.
  6. Reporting and whistleblowing: The policy encourages employees to report any suspected bribery or corruption and provides a confidential reporting channel for whistleblowers.
  7. Consequences of non-compliance: The policy outlines the consequences of non-compliance with the policy, which may include disciplinary action, termination of employment, and legal action.

An Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy is an essential component of any organization’s compliance program, as it helps to prevent unethical behavior and protects the organization’s reputation.

Also for your kind reference, I am sharing the policy of Tata Group, India. Probably you can derive one out of this.
