HOW TO RAISE A CONCERN
You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of malpractice
at the earliest possible stage. If you are unsure whether a particular act
constitutes bribery or corruption, or if you have any other queries, these should
be raised with your line manager/a Director.
PROTECTION
Employees who refuse to accept or offer a bribe, or those who raise concerns or
report another’s wrongdoing, are sometimes worried about possible
repercussions. The company aims to encourage openness and will support
anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they
turn out to be mistaken.
The UK anti-bribery legislation applies to all activities of a UK-based
business no matter where they are carried out in the world. This policy
therefore applies to ALL activities worldwide, whatever the local law,
practice or custom may be.
By complying with this policy we aim to ensure that you and the company
will not at any time knowingly breach any relevant anti-bribery and
corruption legislation and also that by adhering to the policy the company can
demonstrate that it has adequate procedures in place to prevent such activity.
All employees have an independent obligation to prevent bribery and corruption in
the company and ensure that any interaction with public officials complies with
this policy and relevant laws.
17. OTHER POLICIES
The company will require you to comply with other policies as
may be introduced from time to time. These policies will be
circulated and you will be informed at the appropriate time.
